Another Earthquake at Sumatra
This afternoon while everyone (not really everyone) was busy with the work, suddenly we felt dizzy. It took us 3 seconds to realise it was earthquake. Of course, Singapore does not have earthquake, but Sumatra does. It just affected the small island like Singapore. :p
This time, the building (my office is at 15th floor) was shaking for more than 30 seconds. Compare to last year when Sumatra having earthquake, this time was longer.
So, boss was asking us to go down and leave the building for a while, you know, just in case. I just brought my company card and handphone when I was leaving.
Guess what I discovered when I got downstairs.
I guess I was really in hurry, kiasi! ahahha… Was running for my life ma. Forgotten to wear my high heels when leaving the office like everyone else. Therefore, I wore the beach sandal which I wear at the office.
But my colleague was even more slumber.
He brought his oat meal in the cup when leaving the office.
Well, the building will not fall la, but it was an evacuate session ma. You must act like you are running for life! Right? :p

I felt that too, 15th floor (what a coincidence) in the NTUC building. But no evacuation was done. Initially, I thought I was suffering from coffee overdose.

I was in Bali at that time! A friend SMSed to tell me the news and I was like “Huh? Yakah…”. There was even a tsunami warning (which was subsequently withdrawn), but it wouldn’t have affected us in Bali anyway due to our geographical location.
