You felt that?

Posted on Friday, Sep 14 at 12:23 am

This is a question i didnt ask my family members yesterday evening. I thought it was just my own problem. I thought i was just giddy…

From Channelnewsasia.com

SINGAPORE : Residents in many parts of Singapore felt at least four aftershocks on Thursday.This follows the 8.4 magnitude earthquake that struck from an epicentre southwest of Sumatra on Wednesday evening.

Neighbour came.

*knock knock*

me: Hello Auntie.
Auntie: You felt the shake?
me: Argh.. Earthquake ar? i thought i giddy leh
Auntie: I also thought i giddy. But i saw the flowers at the corridor were shaking

my mum came..

Mum: Oei.. you felt the tremor never say.
me: I thought i giddy ma.. Then i thought was my chair shaking. So, i stood up and sit down again. Then the quake was gone. So, how i know..
Mum: you hor.. no sense of alertness leh. If really it is happening in Singapore, we dont have time to run for our lives.

This was my first experience with it, and i swear that i will never want it to happen again. It’s so scary that i thought my brain is shaking.

Although Singapore is not directly being affected by the earthquake, but every citizen should be mentally prepared for such crisis. Like when we feel the shake, we should immediately hide under the table and not to hide close to items that are hanging in the air such as the ceiling fans etc.
