Earlier today, I was reading what Roy wrote about what he did on September 11th 2001.

I remember what I was doing, I was playing the piano when the phone rang at 9.10pm. (9.10am NYC time) My brother was calling from New York - where he was training for his job at Goldman Sachs. He was only a few blocks away from the World Trade Center, and thereafter was confined to his office building before being asked to go to a hotel quite a while later.

My dad was in Singapore, and my mum was severely worried. We had to go to a friend's house to see what was going on - on CNN (because we don't have Astro at home). For some weird reason, I decided to go for a drive - for absolutely NO reason at all! Everything was alright, Praise God.

After reading Roy's entry, I also remembered a conversation I had a while ago with a group of friends. They said that "you will always remember what you were doing at the time these significant events happened." They said that they will never forget what they were doing on the day of Princess Diana's death. Even though I do remember what I was doing on the day of her death, a couple of Non-British friends I spoke to today have no idea what they were doing on that day. Her death did probably effect mainly the UK, but the shock of the events of September 11th was truly one that affected mankind and the world we live in.

I might not remember this in a few days, but I can tell you what I did on 11th September 2004.

Woke up in the late morning. Reformatted a computer, and did some technical support on it. Went to the Arts Centre to steward the movie Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind - Completely bizarre and unenjoyable movie starring Jim Carrey, Kate Winslet, & Kirsten Dunst. I then rushed over to Raffles for evening piano.

HIGHLIGHT OF MY DAY
Someone bought me a fruit cocktail at work. Just the ticket. :)
