The minute I opened the door, I saw the other girls coming out from their dorms in the hallway. Puzzled, confused faces, wondering. I, too, wondering. What on earth...
Yes, guessed we all felt the tremor, it lasted for a few minutes. 2 mins top.
Then I got a call from a friend having vacation in my hometown. Asking about earthquake, tsunami. I still hadn't make the connection with the prior tremor I experienced as I've experienced way more tremor in my hometown due to construction process around the neighborhood, and hence I paid no attention to it.
Yes, what a dumb*ss.
Only then I caught the news through FB. The whole island I was standing on, experienced the same incident. It explained the tremor I felt few minutes ago.
Then I read about the sensational breaking news through Yahoo!. Apparently, the tremor came from Sumatra, Indonesia. An approximate of 8.9 magnitude earthquake, prompted tsunami alert. Gave me goosebumps! What's funny about the news was that, it mentioned the tremor was felt all the way to Singapore, Thailand and India. They left off Malaysia. We did feel the tremor, didn't we? Though no tsunami warning had been issued. So far...
But anyway, as always, lets fingers cross together, pray for the victims. If there any...or pray for no more episodes.
Today, I'm glad that I'm still alive. I move on with my life. I went for a run, as typical as any other day. Amitabha.
