I was inspired by a photograph of a neighbourhood playground in the part of Bukit Merah that now no longer exist It had these charming rides of ducks and horses when the lamp post light up the playground comes to life The tiny ducks so bright and colourful morphing into larger ones In the part of Bukit Merah that now no longer exist

Here is the game of chance silakan main yeah (come and play yeah) silakan main yeah Here is the dance of chance silakan main yeah silakan main yeah We are gambling for greater days, drink starshine, polish our ways, We are tikam-tikam, what we get is a joyful possibility, no sweat for the future it’s magic anyway bring on the question, now today we rise into the quiet ride of what comes to play, break up the capsule what comes to play break up the capsule what comes to play break up the capsule what comes to play break up the capsule what comes to play
