Sumatra 6.6 earthquakes

EARTHQUAKES.......So scary!!!

At 11.30am, as usual i was about to leave office heading to bank to deposit some cheques......before i goes, i was chit chatting happily with my colleagues......Then suddenly i was spinning, at first i thought i was giddy, but it was not, it was the building that was shaking...... We were shocked..... couldnt react when i realised that the building was shaking. One of my company partner dashed out from her room and asked: "Is the builing shaking?" From this, then we woke up from our thought, we stood up and my office manager ran out to confirm with us that the building was shaking..... We quickly dashed out from our office. At first, we intend to take lift but we were told to evacuate using staircase......without hesitating, everyone of us walked down from 23rd floor to the ground floor.

By the time we reached the ground floor, we were all very tired and 'shag', we saw many other ppl waiting downstair with the same worries like us...... It was so scary. Even people from DBS tower and SGX also feel the tremble and the building was shaking. We all got so worried and dare not go back office. So everyone went out for early lunch. After the lunch, we went back to office again, praying that the earthquakes will not hit us again.

At around 1pm plus, i was doing some writing, there goes again, i start to feel giddy again. Then i heard my manager shouted:"Not again". The 2nd tremble was a short one, it lasts about 5 sec, then i stood up to check, immediately, the 3rd times of tremble hit again, this time was shaking badly then the first time, its last for about 20 over seconds. This time, everyone grabbed all our belongings and took lift down immediately. Cos the first time we walk down from staircase and our legs were all numb. Can you imagine walking down from 23rd floor to ground level????? Cant describe our feeling, worries and panic......

Everyone was waiting at downstair for further instruction from the management of the building but the management was not doing anything for us. So fuming mad. I was praying hard that we dont have to go back to work, who knows maybe there will be another round of tremble......some more our building was so old. It seems like the building will collapse any time after a few more times of tremble of the earthquakes. I do not wish to go back and work as we were all shocked and frighten about it. "Will the building collapse???? Is it safe to stay in the building????" my mind keeps flashing these questions.

Luckily, my boss allows us to dismiss early from work. As we are on our ways back, we still feels giddy. Maybe we are too shocked and scared. Even now, still can feel that i am giddy and my PC and the building was shaking, while writing this blogs. This was the most bad and memoriable experience i have ever had. Thanks god that we are all safe and fine now.

Hope that it will not happen again......
