HAPPY BIRTHDAY MUM!
The 7th of July will be a day I will never forget because besides being my mum's birthday (Happy Birthday Mum!) it's also the day that I experienced something that as an Australian I've never had to worry about. Terrorism.
Prior to that my greatest fears were public speaking followed closely by bearded women. Being killed while sitting on the Tube while silently cursing the lack of air conditioning or the smelly guy that you're pressed up against had never crossed my mind.
As I walked to work that day I was struck by how eerily silent London was except for the sirens. It was a strange feeling.
Called my parents to let them know I was okay.
(Dramatisation)
DAD : Oh Hi Jaehun!
ME : Hi Dad! How are you?
DAD : You do know it's your mother's birthday? You better call back when she's here.
ME : Yes Dad. Did you hear about the bombings in London?
DAD : Oh yes I saw it on TV.
ME : Well I'm okay.
DAD : Oh good!
