I felt the earth move under my feet...

Kekeke...

Nope, this is not the song from Enimem (which is a remake from a 90's song)... :D

Anyway, it should be HUGE news by now that a quake hit somewhere near Sumatra, Indonesia on the 29/03/2005 at 12:09am. What was I doing then??

Well... Aside from doing the Netizen routine of 1) chatting or "IM-ing" friends, 2) downloading stuff and 3) surfing, I was working real hard on this proposal that I'm not even supposed to mention... =PPPP

Suddenly, I felt dizzy, really dizzy for around 2-3 mins. I thought it was a dream because I've been working so darn hard lately and thought, perhaps, I should call it a night. Then, got this SMS from a colleague who asked if I felt the earth move... Hmmmm..

We speculated, 1) Some HUGE explosion happened in Klang Valley (hey... it did happen ages ago.. some fireworks factory exploded causing a small "earthquake" that DID REGISTER on the Ricther scale), 2) Earthquake... which immediately, we speculated... Tsunami?? (No.. no... not our boss.. Kekeke) Colleague was waiting downstairs at the condo parking lot along with other residences to see what happened.

Anyway, after a lot of SMSes... I scoured the web news sites for info... Nothing.. Nada.. Niet... Told colleague that it would take around 30mins - 1 hr for these ppl to pick up anything... ;) Read some on-going stuff on Michael Jackson trial (aiii... when will it end...) and something interesting on this case in US for this brain damaged woman who had her feeding tube removed... etc. I got distracted..

Finally, after 1 hr later.. BIG, RED banner turned up on CNN... stated that a quake hit Asia... Ahhh.. fled to Tv to catch news on Astro... Meanwhile, colleague got tired of waiting and she went home to her Mom's place, which is a landed property.

I tried to convince parents that something happened, but to no avail. They thought that I had gone bonkers but after they saw the news, they were shocked. Hmmm.... Snoopy was very hyper at midnite, she refused to sleep. She jumped on the bed and went nuts... Hmmm.. She knew something was up...

I even SMSed a friend in Penang to find out if all is ok, since Penang was also hit by the Tsunami on Boxing Day '04. Luckily, she was on the other side of the island and she only replied the next morning. (:PPPP)

Anyway, in light of all that has happened, hopefully, casualties will not be high as this happened at night, when most of the region are sleeping.

God is waking us up.... Pray and hope that no big earthquakes should hit the region soon... Earthquakes will come but lets hope that it won't happen so soon...
