10 years

I'm sure this day needs no introduction. Everyone would know what that day is. Unless they have been preferring to live blissfully ignorant.

10 years ago, I was not in New York City. I had not visited America yet (true to this point in time). There is no grand story to tell. 

Besides, I was turning 8 at that time. A girl in Primary 2, nearing End of year examinations. 11/9/01 at GMT +8.00 hr was a normal day. I spent my day playing with my sisters after school and eager to show my mother a class test result I just had received. 


My family never liked the television set being turned on. It was only when we switched on to our nightly news programme then we realized what had happened.


I don't think my parents slept that night.
