everybody look what's going down...
- najib's been named in the altantuya trial
- hamas matyrs "mickey mouse"
- glasgow airport is attacked
- two carbombs found in london
all this while brown's administration is barely a few days old, princess diana's memorial, gay pride and wimbledon going on - and it's also a few days before the anniversary of the 070705 bombings.
it's a mad world.
i've given up figuring things out. instead, for the most selfish of reasons, i hope these events don't escalate - and cause delays to my flights back this thursday...

my journal entry on during the bombings two years ago :
it's 11.12 am, thursday morning 7 July. explosions in central london reported on the news everywhere, around 10am. Sky news being the first with updates.
affected places so far are Russell Square (Tavistock square!) where a bus was blown up.
many more (as yet, no confirmation whether related or not) explosions heard in the underground tube network. the underground is now closed while rescuers salvage for survivors.
general confusion, but no panic. cabinet ministers have issued statement but do not report fatalities yet. eye witness reports say many bloody and injured. nothing conclusive about fatalities.
info above was obtained from television news reports. i wandered outside of houghton street and walked to a shop with televisions on the display windows. many people were crowded around it, trying to sift for information.
everything is well organised, police and medical services already working like clockwork. sirens all around and choppers in the sky.
stay tuned for more updates.
not going to make inferences, but today IS the G8 summit.
nothing further to add, so far me and my sister are ok and have texted my parents. mobile lines are now shut.
