11 September 2001

I remembered that day... ... 8 years ago... when I was still 9 years old...

Wednesday Night...

I was watching Cantonese drama in my parents Bedroom.

Suddenly... the phone rang and my mum answered it.
'' Hey, switch to CNN now! You can't believe what you're going to see!''
My aunt called and told us.

I was like... huh? Ok...

It was a breaking news.. showing the World Trade Center was on fire... ...
'' Wa =.=! What the heck is going on?!'' I asked myself...

Then... I continued watching.... stunted by the LIVE footage.... The crazy thing was... the events were kept on happening which I could not keep up with the pace.
