so close.

every Thursday, i'll have class in Lincoln's Inn at 4pm and the nearest tube station is Holborn.

and today, i drag my arse off from my warm and cosy room and make my way to the tube station to head to class.

coincidentally, my flatmate,Nok is heading there too, so we went there together and chatting happily.

class ended at 6pm, and i decided to head to Waterstone bookshop to purchase a textbook and a statute book.

then about 645pm, i walked back to Holborn station.

everything seem fine and nothing seems out of place.

i reached home, and going to the kitchen to cook some dinner and bumped into Nok.

and she asked me whether i see anything happened near Holborn station.

she told me that she saw many people were running away, and was ushered away by the policemen.

there were many police and ambulance there too.

but, i was completely unaware of such things.

i thought maybe there was some strike or riot.

until just now, my another flatmate, Wing...told me and Nok that bombs were found around Holborn station.

and she was stuck in another station for 1 hour plus because the tube service was delayed, but they weren't given any reason at that time.

i look at BBC News, and nothing was reported on this.

however, there were many other forums where the public said that the bomb was either inside or outside Metro Bank, which was located opposite of Holborn Station.

i don't even know how i was feeling.

this is like the 1st time in my life that i'm so close to almost-death-situation.

Nok was near the station about 530pm.

what would happen if i were to be late for class? or i didn't go to the bookshop?

the source of it, until now, remains unidentifiable.

is it terrorist attack?

i'm not sure.

it's impossible for us to avoid using the tube, as that is the only way we travel to class.

and the bus may not necessarily be the safest choice, since last year...7/7, a bus was bombed too.

sigh.
