Earthquake Malaysia

Mother Nature is one mother i dont wanna mess with!

About 10 minutes ago, i was at 15th floor - actually higher as Kenny's condo was actually on a hill; experiencing a minor earthquake. Kenny didnt felt it. I wouldnt have but what got me thinking was simply two things , I was toping up my fish tank's water and i realize that the water was actually moving weirdly and i had a very sudden "headache"

Next thing i know, the lights and fan were swinging left and right! Kenny thought i saw a ghost but well i am most certain i didnt as i ask him to look at the overall condo. YES WE SEEM LIKE WE ARE MOVING. As i continue to pour the water back into the tank (out of bimboness and sudden to finsih the routine) Kenny ask for evacuation! But but --- my fish how? Kenny gave me a look or should i say THE look and i got the answer.

We moved out quickly and we heard people screaming eathquake! Wow i thought - so drama. Actually i kinda enjoy running down the staircase, i mean i always wanted to experience something like that but 15th floor was abit too much for that matter. Its like doing gym classes!

Drove out of the carpark soon after we ponder upon which exit to go to and saw many residents outside. Some making calls, others were looking at the condo and some stood like they were thinking about something. One thing that came into my mind. If there is really an earthquake coming, they would have been recorded as cast of resident running away from falling condo!
hahaha ... malaysianS!

Then i started to make calls to make sure my condo living friends are safe. Most of them evacuated except some -blur and bimbo ones- who ignore the shake. Man! I have no comment!

The experience was a bit adventurous - is like making a movie! But of course the thought of the condo tumbling down was as fun! EHEHEHE. I know i am crazy!

Personally i think Malaysia government should start implementing "safety" high rise building that can minimize the risk of anything from window shattering to collapse of the building due to earthquake. Our neighbour country seem a lil unstable nowadays!

On solid ground, Kenny and i started to think most probably, the shake we felt was from Indonesia. Hopefully its not a major one. Tsunami was a tragic incident and i was in the condo as well - sleeping that is! Thus, today was more of a participation thinge from the earthquake.

One thing i am worried now is my fishes!
