Everyone has a story, and perhaps each of us saw a bit of our feelings expressed in the image of teary-eyed Mister Tan. It taken everything that had been composed and said regarding the past two years roughly given that COVID-19 hit the shores and brought existence to a standstill.
Emotions ran high as this year’s NDP show segment, titled The storyplot of Us , cut back poignant memories associated with what life has been before and after 2020, and exactly how we tried to return on our feet.
A friend of mine who was part of a task group responsible for COVID-19 testing messaged to say that she did not think it would affect her, but seeing the pandemic tales brought back “the exhaustion , the tears, the anxiety, the stress”.
And Mister Tan was spot on when he stated: “I thought it had been a story about everybody , every single Singaporean”.
