I felt the earth move!

Everyone had different thought when it happened. For me, I thought Z shook his desk that I felt it but when I looked, he was far from his own desk. We stared at each other for a moment when Z asked, why is the building moving?

I started to look around and saw the curtains, a frame on my table and a colleague flower vase was slightly shaken. My MD came out and relief of the commotion coz for awhile then, he thought he was having heart attack.

The tremor went on for maybe less than a minute. I stood and sat and stood again and sat coz I didn’t know what would give less impact IF the building collapses! We giggled nervously when another colleague took her handbag and was ready to fleet off the building.

Then it stops. Everyone immediate got online to find out if there’s been any recent news of earthquake or tsunami (bearing in mind Sam0@ just had 8.2 mag tsunami a few hours before). At about 645pm (tremor felt at 615 or so), I received news alert that an earthquake just hit s0uth3rn sum@tr@ with 7.1 mag.

I felt nausea for awhile, which is a normal reaction. I must admit, I did wonder if the building do collapse, will I survive or will it be the end of me….

Scary whoah!
