Tremors!

Yesterday (30 Sep), after my dinner at about 6.15pm, I sat on the sofa to continue reading my Japan Guide Book. Suddenly, I felt my bum moving! Silly as I can't be shaking my bum when I was sitting on the sofa reading a book. I felt quite giddy and the strange sensation was definitely unpleasant. These strange feelings occured again and again. I told myself that I must be feeling weak after working so many extra hours in the office.

I looked at Isa who was diligently doing her homework at one corner of the living room. I asked her in a normal and nice way if she has felt something strange. She told me she felt giddy and that her body was moving slightly.

OMG, we could not be feeling giddy at the SAME time!

We switched on the tv but it was still early for the 6.30pm channel 8 news. There was no newsflash. We thought something strange has happened and suspected a big earthquake in Indonesia.

True enough during the 6.30pm channel 8 tv news, a magnitude of about 7.9 earthquake was reported in Padang, Indonesia. Tremors were felt in Singapore and Malaysia.

What an unusual evening!
