My mom is calm

The initial sinking feeling I had in my stomach was exacerbated when my mom wasn't answering my skype messages, despite chatting with her a few hours earlier.

When I finally reached her on her mobile, I asked the all important question, remembering that she was going back to Singapore soon, and that there was a chance she would be transiting through JKT.

Me: Mom ? Are you in Jakarta?
Mom: No.Tomorrow. Why leh ?
Me: Whew. You heard about the bombings ? Are you changing your flight ?
Mom: orh.. Cheh.. I'll be in transit what.. I won't even leave the airport
Me: Ok. Stay safe.

(That was roughly transcribed from our mish-mesh of English & Broken Mandarin)

I was thinking to myself, "if my mom got hurt... I'm gonna be really REALLY pissed!"

So far others I know over there seem ok. Can't reach Henry though.

Stay safe you.
