From A To Z, A Zoetrope Spins In Commemoration Of Your Independence

colonia angmoh yang di-pertuan negara
balek boleh booted habes imbroglio
acute crisis race uncontrollable cicadas
die desperado independent deep distrust
expel elect unequal unemployed unease
tearful face conference future konfrontasi
danger govern sovereign english strategy
hygiene homeless highrise huayu how
conspiracy riots triads bilateral tits
jingo jail jiggery-pokery straitjacket jam
kindergarten kiri kiasu kitty alamak
singlish spiels slides squeals squelched
majulah kampung my merlion meringue
newater nation noose neurosis boomerang
shop drop policy pondan pontianak
oppose snip pubic parrot frappuccino
queue quell quiet quarantine mosquito
risis rotan raise crooked bridge
sotong asleep mas selamat sewage
swift straits terroriser storm sentosa
evacuate simulate ultimate suspect gum
values vanda vandal virus vivo
now wired aware wanton werewolves
maxed vexed taxed waxed hexed
my country my cylindrical gyroscope
haze daze amaze zipping zoetrope
