Marriage, Dollars and Sense
June 1996
Huang Biren, Carole Lin, Raymond Yong

Ever thought what qualities you want for a husband or wife? Must he or she get a 5C, namely, cash, condo, car, credit card, and career? Phyllis Quek now plays a playful daughter of a materialistic woman who allows her daughter only to marry a man with 5Cs. She however, falls in love with a cartoonist (played by Raymond Yong), who has no stable career, no condo nor a car or credit card. Here, Phyllis has a very minor role to play, as most of the focus of the show is on her sisters, played by Huang Biren and Carole Lim. She is so playful, she even got herself pregnant even before marriage. Will their mother give in one day and allow her daughters to marry who they really love? Rating: B
