Earthquake ?!
Wanted to sleep at 12.20am on this March 29th of 2005. But.. someone informed me of a earth in Sumatra... as we are near, I fell into a panic as to whether I should wake my parents and grandparents from other areas up for fear of the aftershock. For all those who know nothing of it here ,here2, here3.If these can be read... then you all are safe from this ordeal.. But I felt assure after looking at the map of sumatra.. here5 using a ruler to measure the nearest border of Sumatra to Singapore its about 170km or more and Jakarta to Singapore its >700km... So I felt pretty safe and stupid for the anxiety (Which I would do again If it happened this way again) I know I will just regret it if I know of this disaster and just slack by at home not providing an 'influence' into which this scenario would end. Sigh... I didn't even feel the 1st tremor which my friend in Jurong West felt. I guess I would just say a prayer to Guan Yin (28th was her Birthday) and hope it protects and bless my grandparents and relative. And my parents.. and siblings before I head to bed towards a brand new day. 2.15am out-
(P.S. I also changed my blog music to 'Good Charlotte's - The Chronicles of Life and Death - I Just Wanna Live' to express my desire to live on as well as to hopefully ensure the safety of my relatives, grandparents and family and friends. May god have mercy.)
