Synopsis
The story of the Cok Family is set in the 22nd century in a small island called Singapore, where it is no longer uncommon to see men with many wives. The Head of the family, Mr Cok, used to be a wealthy investor before the death of his 3rd wife plunged him into a deep depression (both physically and economically), and recent medical checkup affirms the affliction of a new disease which attracts mosquitoes to him.
20 years ago...
Regarding his children, he was inspired by his Italian love to name their first-born Casanova. Travelling to China for a brief business trip, he found love at second sight, and decided to name their child Ciu Ciu, though his Chinese counterpart insisted on an English name. Through a compromise, the couple eventually christianed her Ceceliano as well. As the saying goes, "The third time is the charm", and Mr Cok met his third and only third love in Vietnam, producing a pair of healthy twins, which he subsequently named Chase and Christina.
Now...
The image of the perfect family has long dissipated. With the death of his wife in a car accident 5 years ago, Mr Cok has to take on the challenges of being both a father and a mother to a bunch of hyperactive children who are extremely diverse (quite literally too).
As problems begin to beset the Cok family one by one, we watch as the 4 kids and a (mosquito-bitten) dad tackle the challenges heading their way in an exciting, humorous and totally unexpected way!

haha omg we're really full of crazy ideas! It's another one of those days where I end up having to constantly rub my cheeks because of laughing too much xD On another note, the lights in the Council Room are dying one by one. We predict that the last one will go off tomorrow and Ye Wei has already set his plans for moving into the Welfare Room!
