As of 12th Sept 2007 (roughly around 7pm), it was just like every normal evening. But this evening is one heck of an interesting evening. Most of my colleagues are still in office in 16th floor (as usual, i am there as well). Of all a sudden we felt some minor tremors. Actually i dont quite realise it and i thought it is quite normal. I brush it off as a minor 'interference' due to nearby construction of 'The Pavilion'.
But then again, the tremor seems to be 'playing' around with my chair as i felt my chair rocking back & forth. Soon, one of my colleague said that there is a quake near Indonesia! The 1st two tremor last only a few seconds. But the 3rd one is much stronger and vibrant. So........ we decided to pack our notebooks and get the hell out of the building.. hehe.. What a (scary yet exciting) sensation. There is nothing much to shout about actually, as this is my really first taste of small tremor. Compared to those who are dwelling in Indonesia, they must hv felt 100X more terrible and scared.
So, we took the lift to ground zero and saw a few groups of people have gathered around and seems exited. Some looks abit nervous. As I walked past, I heard whispers and people discussing about their 'exciting experience. Well, i just hope that everything would be fine and there is no casualties this time as compared to the deadly quake in 2004 that kills more than 200,000 people
