Off Topic

Alright so i said i wouldn't do this but because i just needed a medium to vent and because cars are related to trains and buses and what not ( trying to justify it), i jus wanted to talk about London 7/7/05. Go buy 4D hurry....ok bad tactless joke.

9/11 never really hit me hard at all. It was shocking because it was the first BIG terrorist hit in my lifetime...or at least since my memory started serving me, but it never hit the spot. Madrid never really hit me cos it was so far away and I've never really had a connection to the place. The tsunami hit just about everyone and myself included because it was so close to home. I was actually on a yacht in open waters at the very exact same time...thank god for sheltered singaporean waters. If i had a couple more weeks of break i wouldve flown there to help out without a doubt. I know people who were hit hard and i know people who narrowly missed being there. Even the later earthquake affected my family directly. My building in singapore apparantly shook pretty violently and got my mom all panicky and wanting to run down the stairs while my dad and younger sis were jus resigned to they're fate seeing as how they were on the 16th floor.

Somehow, London hits the spot even though its probably the least catastrophic. I think it's because i realised that I actually came really close to losing my elder sis. She lives opposite a tube station and very well could have been on one of those trains for one reason or the other. She's safe by the way....good thing she was back in singapore for holidays. See holidays are a double edged sword....it can take lives (Tsunami) or it can save lives (London). I know I know...skewed sense of reasoning. But this bombing has got me really riled up....its these kinda events that make me wanna just grab a gun and join the war.

So to all you terrorists or wannabe terrorists out there.... oh i wish i wish i wish onto you a horrible life of suffering. May your families perish in agony and your livelihood destroyed. You try and kill my sister and you incur my wrath....should i be so priviledged to actually become a pilot, i hope i get a chance to come bomb your asses. Tell your cronies to hide in them paki mountains and hope i don come looking for them. Oh and tell bin laden i said hi.
