A carefree and somewhat chaotic atmosphere pervades Singapore during its final days. Possessions and money lost their significance, and the primary concern was to preserve life and freedom. The narrator recounts a personal experience where conventional concerns, such as a stolen car, became inconsequential. After parting ways with their job and facing a depressed state, the narrator found a stranger willing to provide a lift. In a seemingly irresponsible and carefree manner, the stranger offered the narrator their spare car, reflecting the overall atmosphere of Singapore during that tumultuous period.
