the SHAKING earth underneath.
EARTHQUAKE. maybe most of you have felt it, over the past years when earthquakes took place in our neighbouring countries, but this is a first for me. i'm back home now, because of the terrifying earthquake. this is what happened, just hours ago:
i was feeling exceptionally tired towards the end of the day, chris and i are just chatting and doing some last minute work, before heading home. suddenly, giddiness struck me, it's as if my brain was a spinning basketball in my head. i thought i was just too tired, i even stop a moment to just relax, was telling chris, "wah headache, it has been a while since i had this kind of feeling" and the next thing we know, our indian colleagues start packing and moving out together. chris and i were like, "what happened?". wanted to ask the others what happen, the next minute i heard my colleague saying, "eileen! pack up and go home already, earthquake!" the freaking window bind was hitting against the glass window as if there were a breeze in the office, it just tells us how serious and terrifying this earthquake was.
everybody packed as quickly as we can, and check out for other colleagues. the lifts were all packed so we decided to take the stairs. apparently 7 storeys doesn't mean 7 flights of stairs, we walk what, 10 flights of stairs and we're not the only ones, people from other floors are all using the stairs. when we reached the exit of the building, everybody was just standing outside and making phone calls. the next thing to do, is obviously going home.
on my way home, i called my mum to check things out, and my house has never ever felt anything maybe because we're only 1 storey high. however, this time even my mum and dad experience it at home. just hope that all my indo friends and their families are fine. the only good thing is that, no OT tonight. =) i'm still feeling a little dizzy, going to bed. goodnight.
peace.
every day is a new day ♥
