That fateful day... I came back from SS2 'pasar malam' with my GF... Thought of studying some physiology for the following day's lecture---about howmones secretion... Since it's late, I played some RobbieWilliam's songs on my CD player...
I was studying peacefully and the atmosphere is so..... quiet.... peaceful... cars pasisng by Jalan University at night and you can hear the nice friction of their tires...
And then I felt IT...
I was SHAKING... but I thought it was due to my headphones (I get dizziness listening to too much songs using headphones, especially CHEAP headphones) So I wanted to find out whether it was just me and my poor, throbbing head, and decided to rock the sofa I's sitting on... Well, it didn't rock that much (a good sofa, stable on its 4 legs) At last I got a little confused but decided to let things be... Bla bla bla...
But then my room-mate CPingLik stood up in the dining hall, "Isn't it shaking??" Then CChenJoo raised from her perch and... "YES!!!??" We were still deciding what was it when the sleeping beauties came out of their room and asked basically the same question... Blah blah blah... Finally we came to a conclusion (which took us about 20 sec) and then we ran, sort of...
but not forgetting ShunWoei...
I was in the corridor alone after waiting for SW... They had all fled, and then I decided to go... a malay lady opened the door and asked, "IS it shaking??" I gave a hurried,"Earthquake!!" and then the answer is,"can the lifts be used?" A crazy idea ran through my mind... LIFTS?? ARE YOU CRAZY??? U'll BE KILLED if the electricity gets knocked out... Blah blah blah...
as I was walking (not running) down the stairs, I phoned my family in Seremban... My mum fely it too!!! OMG!!! This is just GREAT!!! A huge earthquake!!! Tidal waves again??? I quickly messaged my friends... Universities are having term breaks, and I don't want my friends to become nameless bodies lying on the shores of, say, PortDickson... or even Langkawi... These are a few responses I got:
"You sure??"
"Who are you? Are you kidding?"
"Are you joking?"
Well...
Then I got out of the building---wow!!! People had already parked their already-parked-in-the-safe-basement cars outside beside the road... and I met up with my apartment mates.... we heehaa outside, if not for the late hour, it'll be a nice heehaa... we contacted friends/families and discovered that Johore, NS, Selangor, Perak and Penang had felt tremors... Seems like a pretty big quake!
Well....
So things got a little boring and finally after half an hour we went back to our rooms... watched the news, 8.? earthquake in Sumantera... and slept...
......and fished (yawning) in the lecture hall the next morning...
cool earthquake... yeah...
