Bulan Pernama

BULAN PERNAMA (An Auspicious Full Moon) is a Baba Peranakan romance set in present-day Singapore. It tells a tale of some school-leavers and the different paths circumstances lead them after their A-Level examinations.

It is essentially the love story of Molly Tan and Tommy Sim and the trials and tribulations they encounter in their romance. Molly is prevented from furthering her studies as the result of subtle instigation by a "friend" of her mother's. Tommy goes overseas to continue his studies. Although separated, they have sworn eternal love on a Bulan Pernama. However, their relationship is later adversely affected after Tommy receives annoymous letters alleging Molly's change of heart towards him.

Molly's grandmother Bibik Tatt Poh is determined to seek the identity of this "friend" of Molly's mother and to learn the truth behind the conspiracy to break up Molly and Tommy. Assisting her in her quest are her friends Ah Soh and Molly's bosom friend, Karen. When the truth is subsequently revealed, it is startling both in the identity and the misguided intentions of the wrong-doer. Nevertheless, will it be in time to save the Molly-Tommy romance?

In between this drama are lighthearted episodes such as Bibik Tat Poh's venture into a Nasik Lemak business and the unexpected consequences and the goings-on of some elderly male citizens at a hawker centre which are further spiced with newly composed songs linking the subplots with the main storyline into one whole picture.
