K and I were having dinner at home on Wednesday when i started to feel my whole body wobbling and my head went giddy. At first, i thought it was because i was eating too quickly, cause we were rushing out. But then K told me he could feel it too. It was then that we realize that we were feeling earthquake tremors.
It's actually the first time i've felt such strong tremors that actually lasted for quite long, about 3 minutes. Plus, i've never felt it at home before. Our bar counter lights were swaying like nobody's business for that 3 minutes. I actually started to panic and wanted to go downstairs or hide in the bomb shelter, but K just stayed calm and asked me to finish up my dinner.. Plus, because we were rushing to go out, we had no choice but to finish our dinner quickly while the whole house was shaking.. haha.. = )
Sigh.. sometimes, i really pity the Indonesian people.. so many natural disasters seem to be occurring in their country. Earthquakes lah, volcano eruptions lah, tsunami lah, forest fires lah.. And here in Singapore, we keep getting the side effects like the tremors and the terrible haze that has returned to haunt us yet again. Si beh suay.. = )

Eh, you don't want to hide in the bomb shelter especially if it also doubles as store room. For one, all the cans and stuff you have in there will fall on you and may seriously hurt you. For another, imagine how long it will take rescuers to get to you if you are all the way in a small enclosed space!
