tremors!

miss ene and i were having lunch across the campus with when an sms came through for her.

an earthquake had struck an island in Sumatra, Indonesia and some tremors shook Singapore. buildings were evacuated, some taller structures even "swayed slightly".

oooooooooooooooooooo. how exciting.

i just called the hub whose office is in chinatown (and relatively close to shenton way) and asked if his building was affected.

me: "eh do you know there was an earthquake earlier in Indonesia?"
hub: "got meh? when?"
me: "noon time. some people felt tremors in shenton way. did your office shake?"
hub: "no lei. didn't feel anything."

hmmm. apparently only some areas were affected. maybe i was all the way in the east, too far to feel anything though according to miss ene, her colleagues said the partitions shook.

ah well. it would have been quite an experience if we had been evacuated.
