In this conversation, Payal speaks with Ellil, who fondly revisits his childhood growing up in Singapore’s east, particularly around Kallang Airport Road. Through his stories, listeners are transported to a time before the National Stadium and bustling hawker centres, when neighborhoods thrived on friendship and community spirit.

Ellil recalls the joy of simple, carefree days,playing football in open spaces, catching rainbow fish in monsoon drains, and sharing meals with neighbors in a close-knit, multiracial community. With humor and warmth, he paints a picture of a childhood filled with freedom, curiosity, and camaraderie. His memories offer a nostalgic glimpse into a bygone era of Singapore, where play, connection, and imagination defined everyday life.
