It stars Sheila Sim, Elvin Ng, Aloysius Pang, Carole Lin & Rayson Tan as the casts of the series.
The story underscores the value of familial love and the need for young people to be independent and to have a sense of responsibility.
Wang Jiahao (Aloysius Pang) is a rebellious youth whose bad name causes him to be blacklisted by schools.
Jiahao knows that the $1000 is meant for him; he had made an empty threat to leave home if Xiufen had refused to give him $1000 to buy a new computer.
He promises Xiufen to take good care of his two younger sisters so that she will see a complete family upon regaining consciousness.
Fortunately, Jiahao has a warm and motherly paternal aunt, Wang Xiaohui (Sheila Sim).
Not only does Xiaohui cook a meal that tastes awful, she almost causes the whole family to die of gas poisoning.
Only then does it dawn on him that his mother had been a “superwoman”, a multi-tasker; her children do nothing but rely on Xiufen for food and money.
Moreover, Jiahao has a secret - he has a phobia of entering a pool as a result of a childhood incident where he nearly drowned.
He opposes it vehemently for fear that Xiufen will wake up to see Jiemin turned into a young punk.
In the midst of facing a deluge of problems, his maternal uncle Ah Wei (Elvin Ng) appears at the flat.
Xiaohui is afraid that Ah Wei, with his secret society background, will lead Jiahao astray.
Around this time, a man claiming to be their future father appears out of nowhere, making this messy family even more “exciting”.
