After so many years of being with each other, Tay and Mae finally decide they can't be friends forever and so decide to get married. Poh Choo emigrates to Singapore with her husband Jimmy and daughter Li Lien.

Tay and Mae spend quality time in a chalet - David's wedding gift to them. They also have to deal with the issue of sex after marriage, each not knowing if the other wants it and each not wanting to disappoint the other.

Tensions rise between Mae and Poh Choo and Mr Tay is caught in the middle. Meanwhile, Jenny goes to work as David's boss. If that doesn't bruise his ego, her flirting with his colleague should crush whatever pride he has left.

Relationships suffer at the Tay home as Poh Choo and Jimmy get on Mae's nerves while Gary's closeness to Chee Keong irks Karen and Poh Choo. On a brighter note, Jimmy gets free juice and David and Jenny get married.

There's trouble afoot (surprise!) when money disappears from the coffeeshop till. Elsewhere Jimmy meets an old friend and Poh Choo and Chee Keong call a truce.

Mae gets her son Meng to work in Tay's coffeeshop in hopes that they will bond. Unfortunately, it backfires and things turn nasty when Meng is framed by Jimmy for stealing from the till.

Li Lien and Meng's relationship takes off and she sneaks into the disco where Meng works to meet him and of course, have some fun. She gets into trouble with Gorilla Sam and gang (glue sniffers) and is sabotaged by Sam's girl, Rose.

Mae's auntie dies. Ironically, it's her death that gives Mae an opportunity to get back together with Meng. Meanwhile, Li Lien and Meng discover the unpleasant truth of their relations and Jimmy falls back to his old gambling ways.

Gary and Karen treat Elvis like a precious commodity when they realize that he will be their only child. Jimmy buys a karaoke machine and brings it to the flat and once again, Mae finds living in the crammed flat increasingly intolerable.

Poh Choo's conflict with Mae over Li Lien and Meng's relationship deepens and Meng discovers that he is not really Mae's son. This gives him the idea of further pursuing his relationship with Li Lien now that they are no longer blood-related.

Li Lien is nearly raped by Gorilla Sam. Meng, who rescues her, is ironically accused of the attempt. The fracas causes Mae to break up with Tay and she moves out. Jimmy's gambling addiction worsens and he borrows money from head loanshark Leng Kor.

Jimmy fails to pay up his debt and is forced to convert the coffee shop into a gambling den. Gary discovers this much to his shock and worse, that Keng Joo is involved as well.

Li Lien does some growing up when she learns of her father's chronic gambling habit and that her mother is actually a much stronger woman than she thought. Mae is pregnant and Tay has to deal with the shock and responsibility of being a father again.

Poh Choo dreams of a better life in Singapore are shattered and she becomes depressed. The family becomes worried for her and even feat that she might attempt suicide.

Poh Choo has enough of Jimmy and decides to divorce him, much to her children's distress.Chee Keong finally gets to speak with the girl of his dreams, Donna. But his happiness is short-lived when she gets killed in a road accident the next day.
