Home in Toa Payoh is a Singapore Chinese drama which had its original run telecast in December 2003. The drama is produced by Singapore's MediaCorp TV Channel 8. It was re-aired in 2007 on every weekday, 5.30pm on Channel 8.

Synopsis

The first four minutes of the first episode introduces Toa Payoh, one of Singapore's oldest estates, and chronicles its development from a small "kampung" along swampy marshland to a modernised thriving neighbourhood. The series depicts life in a typical HDB estate.

Baomei, Pengkun and Guocheng are childhood friends who grew up together in Toa Payoh. Baomei is an overly thrifty bachelor who is a foreman at a factory. Pengkun is a top technician at Baomei's factory but is always skiving to return home early to be with his wife and children. Guocheng is a highly successful insurance salesman with a loving but constantly nagging wife Huiming. The three of them and their families have to put up with the gossipy and quarrelsome Auntie Fen who often argues with Guocheng's father-in-law.

gollark: Idea for a better internet<->game chat relay:- people sending messages generate an asymmetric keypair of some sort- they send signed messages over skynet or something- to comply with the chatbox-related restrictions, users would sign up to receive messages sent by some public keys- users ingame can also associate their key with their username

gollark: With a VPN, and Bluetooth keyboard/mouse, it should be possible to play ~~factorio~~ games anywhere using only stupid amounts of battery life and data!
