Life is not just about the race

It has been over a year in this school, and I have many wavering thoughts once in awhile when days get abit too extreme..either too crazy or too chill.  There is a love-hate relationship between me and this school, I really like the "chill" teaching environment, yet I find it not as "challenging" and I appear to be too insignificant as compared to other teachers.

I was being pulled in to feel what Mr Lee had felt during the different moments of his life, and felt especially emotional during certain moments too:') The musical is not the best, has not portrayed more in-depth stories about Mr & Mrs Lee's life story, the actors might not have so called good "chemistry" however, I feel that Singaporeans will feel somehow connected and feel that sense of belonging at that moment.
