Deepavali Eve & Deepavali~
Since Hark Cafe is located so near to Little India, the festive mood sort of rubbed off some of the customers who visited us on Deepavali Eve & Deepavali~ Sorry to disappoint~ there wasn't any Bollywood kind of dancing on display :p
Just a brief introduction on Deepavali from Wikipedia~
Diwali, also called Deepavali (Sanskrit: दीपावली) is a major Hindu festival that is also very significant in Sikhism and Jainism. Known as the "Festival of Lights," it symbolises the victory of good over evil, and lamps are lit as a sign of celebration and hope for mankind. The festival of Diwali is about harvesting. Celebrations focus on lights and lamps, particularly traditional diyas (as illustrated). Fireworks are associated with the festival in many regions of India.
Diwali is celebrated for five consecutive days at the end of Hindu month of Ashwayuja. It usually occurs in October/November, and is one of the most popular and eagerly awaited festivals in India. Diwali comes exactly twenty days after Dussehra. Hindus, Jains and Sikhs alike regard it as a celebration of life and use the occasion to strengthen family and social relationships. For Jains it is one of the most important festivals, and beginning of the Jain year. Jains celebrate Diwali to mark the time when Lord Mahavira achieved Moksha. It is also a significant festival for the Sikh faith.
Back to the topic... Since Deepavali falls on Saturday, its a Half Day for most working personnel on the eve. So alot of customers came to the cafe pretty early around 8pm, almost full house by 9pm! Interesting event of the night was a performance by one regular customer by the name of
Brandon! It happened to the birthday of a pretty lady who's celebrating her 18th birthday~! (most females are always 18years old repeatedly over the years heh~ :p ) So Stella wanted to listen to 男人不该让女人流泪 so Vynson the host of the night invited Brandon to sing the song! Halfway through out the song, Vynson decided to
heat things up! He changed the song to 脱掉 and challenged Brandon to strip for Stella~ Vynson demonstrated by taking off his jacket~ Bcoz he wore 2 jackets! Haha~ Brandon only had a shirt on only~ Brandon was still too shy to take off his shirt and he prompted that if Stella comes on stage with him he will strip~! Stella being a sporting lady, game on! She took off her jacket as well and went on stage. Brandon's face went red immediately bcoz Stella proceeded on to unbutton his shirt for him~! Too explicit so no photos were taken to protect the image of both Brandon & Stella :p But thanks to Stella, Brandon and Vynson, they warmed up the crowd on that night~ =)
On Deepavali that night, there was also another interesting performance! A dance performance by a female patron~ Not bollywood style but techno style~! She danced to the song of 眉飞色舞 using our KTV system. Wow...the crowd was stunned by her dance moves bcoz it looked really professional~ Anyway hope everyone enjoyed themselves for the weekend~ =)
HAPPY DEEPAVALI~!

那一天知道你要走...
On the night of the September Finals, it marked the last working day of one outstanding Hark Service Crew... He is none than....
Suave Kenn!
Kenn first joined as a student at Hark Music School before he seized the opportunity to come work at Hark Cafe. A hardworking person by nature with a witty side of him unknown by others. His favourite task at the cafe is to distribute peanuts thus the nickname "Peanut Boy!" More pics of him below~!
Kenn with our Bartender Alvin~
Kenn with our Hark Music School Supervisor~ (notice their specs, both took off to pose for pics, HIAO ar :p )
Sleepy Kenn~ -_-
He is leaving to serve the nation~ *Sobz* On behalf of all the Hark colleagues and regular customers who know kenn...We thank you for your working stint with Hark, we will miss you for sure! We are missing you already~!
那一天知道你要走 我們一句話也沒有說
當午夜的鐘聲敲痛離別的心門 卻打不開我深深的沈默
那一天送你送到最後 我們一句話也沒有留
當擁擠的月台擠痛送別的人們 卻擠不掉我深深的離愁
我知道你有千言你有萬語 卻不肯說出口
你知道我好擔心我好難過 卻不敢說出口
當你背上行囊 卸下那份榮耀 我只能讓眼淚留在心底
面帶著微微笑 用力的揮揮手 祝你一路順風
當你踏上月台 從此一個人走 我只能深深的祝福你
深深的祝福你 最親愛的朋友 祝你一路順風
