Hong Daming grew up in Tiong Bahru and remained there as an adult, starting a business in the neighbourhood. It is his 25th wedding anniversary. With his wife, Liu Meimei, he reminisces about his life.

Meimei holds a glass bottle to protect herself, which reminds Daming of how he had fallen in love with her after an incident involving gangsters. They find nothing but cockroaches running around. Just as they are leaving, they hear someone coughing.

Meimei settles Yuye and finds out Daming has gone out with Steven. She worries, as Steven dabbles in all the vices. Concerned Daming will be influenced, she asks Shunshui to get him to come back.

Qing tries to clarify the matter, but the woman refuses to be pacified. She accuses Qing, a foreign worker, of being in cahoots with Daming and berates her for upsetting the social harmony.

Liang and Jinzhi take Tiancheng to task. Accusing Meimei of masterminding everything, Tiancheng leaves in a huff. Shunfeng asks Jinzhi for the password to his account.

Daming is anxious Meiyou may be on to something, but Meimei is confident that isn’t the case. Yuye wants to enter a beauty contest. She asks Shunshui to take pictures for her portfolio but he does a bad job.

Jinzhi hits the so-called thief and snatches his mobile phone. She then realises Granny Egg had merely lent her phone to someone and it has been returned.

Ada tells Shunshui she wants to test-drive the car now, but he has to change his name from Simon to Water. Shunshui gives in for the sake of money. At the market, Shunfeng notices Meiyou taking Granny Egg’s money and hits him with a lotus root.

Keke, who is busy handling customers on investment issues, rushes home upon receiving a call from the security guard of her block.

Jinzhi is amused when Liang and Viveka argue relentlessly. Jiejie cooks a simple meal for Tiancheng and Zhenhui. Father and son complain, and even accuse her of pocketing the household funds.

Unable to sleep, Jiejie remembers how Meimei had tried to dissuade her from being in a relationship with Tiancheng. She had refused to listen. Jiejie wakes up early in the morning to do the chores.

Meimei cannot believe Meiyou suspects Jinzhi is his daughter. She blames herself for being naive and allowing him cheat her of her feelings. Daming consoles her and gives his assurance that every problem can be solved if they are united.

Meiyou is thrilled when he gets a free haircut as well with Daming’s card. He is scheming to get more out of Daming when an unknown person attacks him. Daming is pleased the government is promoting the MediShield Life Plan.

Tiancheng gets bitten by a snake in the toilet and runs out in a panic. Daming, Shunfeng and Shunshui capture the snake with much effort. Jiejie asks a getai boss to let her sing again and promises to leave if anyone in the audience boos at her.

Tiancheng and Liang compete in arm wrestling. Tiancheng is about to win when Liang unleashes in a surge of energy and beats him. Seeing Sijia again leaves Liang out of sorts. Daming learns Cleaner Qing’s newborn son is in the hospital...

Zhihao, the guy wrongly accused of not paying for the chwee kueh, wants Jinzhi to apologise and to return the mobile phone she took from him.

Liang uses his scissors to help Jinzhi turn her outfit into something more hip. Meimei learns from Granny Egg that Meiyou has come round, but cannot remember anyone.

It is Zhigao’s first day as a taxi driver. Scouting around for a good first customer, he picks a young lady over a man with tattoos. To his dismay, she asks to go to a columbarium.

Shanshan is back to get Viveka, but the latter is out with Daming and Meimei. She gives Liang a slap for treating Viveka’s birthday gift as dog poo. Zhigao asks Alex to check on Shanshan, who has been gone a long time. Alex refuses to budge.

Shunfeng rushes out with shampoo in his hair and sees Zhen at the back door. She apologises for troubling him. He does not mind, and offers her food.

Shunfeng lets Zhen stay in the coffeeshop. They hide under a blanket together when Daming turns up to check the place. Shunfeng is captivated by Zhen’s smile, but lies that he regards her as a younger sister.

Daming is incensed with Shunshui for using his sister. Asserting that he would never do such a thing intentionally, Shunshui vows to bear the responsibility for her safety and rushes out of the house to look for her.

Liang has a high fever and is delirious. Viveka tries to help him. When Shanshan sees them together, she assumes he is trying to get fresh with her daughter and kicks him.

Accusing Liang of barging into the room to molest her, Shanshan attacks him again. When Daming and Meimei turn up, Shanshan shows them the video of Liang agreeing to let her have his room.
