Earthquake

Major shakes detected over Singapore this morning. Reports from Orchard, Shenton Way and Sengkang flooded the phone and SMS.

Equipments hanging in the kitchen keep shaking, everyone thought they are fainting and cling for support. Even my sis in Shenton Way call to report earthquake its not a small thing...... will Tsunami attack again? Who are the victim this time round? Indonesia again?!

Haiz, i hate the shaking feel in da house, got a feeling that my blocks will fall cuz they are so thin and tall. Gather passport, ic, hp, bank book and all in case it really falls.
