my friends (shiela, yany, mar, rina) + i were out in the open sea enjoying the high tides. just as we got back to land into our cabanas, we saw the news via cna on t/s/u/n/a/m/i @aceh. our families were worried of course, we called home to inform that we were not affected @all.

we had a hard time in s/t/a/n/s/t/e/d although we had to transit before moving on to mallorca via london. the main reason, both yany + me were questioned about half an hour separately on our travels before we were asked to go to another corner + that our names didnt help bearing the "binte". from the corner of my eyes, i could see stares coming from people who were queing under the same line as us. i am still very sore with the immigration officer but the policeman was kinda nice to me. it was really an experience. while in london, we took the tube around the city a month after the l/o/n/d/o/n/b/o/m/b/i/n/g. the affected stations were closed but we kept vigil thru the news in every station as we are affected and had to change routes each single day we were there. it was then that i knew why the death toll was high as the escape route was way far off.

my family + i still went ahead with the travel. mum was a bit sceptical but i assured the rest that it's alright still to travel + not to follow the hundreds of fellow natives who cancelled their flight due to the bombing near the hearts in the city due to protest of e/l/e/c/t/i/o/n. thanks to updates from thai friends too.
::london 2006::
we watched the news on our last day in paris before travelling out to barcelona whilst rina + tini made their way to london and that h/e/a/t/h/r/o/w was the place that they gonna be in when their trip ended before continuing to another city. i kept praying that both of them would be safe + i was glad. the only setback, security was tight so any electronic + liquid stuff to be sealed + placed in cargo. they were fortunate not to miss their flight; tini to stockholm to meet us whilst rina back to the lion city.
