This play revolves around Kah Wei, a 15 year-old girl, who will be sitting for her GCE 'O' Level examinations next year. The play starts with Chinese New Year where Kah Wei's relatives' constant nagging and unwanted advice force her to seek refuge in her room. The scenes that follow reveal the different aspects of Kah Wei’s  character - her relationships, her childhood, her corning to grips with the roles she must play and the various expectations she faces.

As the play progresses, we may find ourselves as Kah Wei docs, questioning the dos and don'ts, the whys and hows, of life. Or, we may find ourselves questioning Kah Wei.
