First time in my life I experienced the 'shake' from the Sumatra Earthquake!! I was working halfway and I felt giddy all of a sudden. I thought it was due to my empty stomach so I ignored it and continued with my work. But then I felt it again! This time, I turned to my colleague and he was nodding at me. And this is when the commotion starts and shortly someone announced through our so-called PA system, asking us to evacuate immediately. No lift and all of us have to go down by the stairs from 8th floor. God damn..it seemed taking ages to reach the ground floor. I almost melted under the scorching sun and we had to walk further down to a nearby hdb block. By the time the evacuation ended, it was already lunchtime.
Walked back from lunch and was smoking with Karen, my in-charge came over and informed us they felt the shake again. Another evacuation!! I really HATE the sun!!
After work, told hubby about what had happened and he said he didn't feel anything at all. But he experienced once when the Tsunami took place. He was beside me watching tv and I was sound asleep. He thought I was the one figetting and turned to me but I'm still lying at the same position. Only then he knew its the earthquake when it was reported on the news.
Nowadays I really have problem waking up timely for work. And I had to call my poor hubby to send me to work. He's now complaining for not having enough sleep. But actually he would rather sacrifice his sleep then to see me spending money on cabs. Gonna wake up early later to attend the stupid orientation at Suntec.
