Ah...nothing witty to start the post with...that's so sad. I really anted to say something witty or funny, but since there is a quote that I'm going to show you guys at the end of the post, so there. And I think I'm going to make that quote a system of sorts, something like Quote of the Day or something.
Let's start with the topic of the tremors. Anyone knows what the full scale of the Richter Scale is? I really want to know! Please!!!! Oh...never mind, I found it (that was lame...). Yesterday's earthquake in central Java (I got that first) was 7.9, then came one at West Sumatra (8.4). And hen somewhere else in Indonesia, then somewhere else in Indonesia, then...you get the drift. Malaysia and Sri Lanka have already put up a possible tsunami warning...though I'm just a little skeptical about that. Speaking of skeptical, I just realised yesterday it seriously doesn't pay to be sarcastic at times (you see how randomly my mind works), 'cos I was in my tuiton centre at Marine Parade, waiting for English (THREE CHEERS!) to start. At that time, there were only four people there, namely three of my friends (you only have to know one, Dylan) and me. So, it was like, while waiting, two seniors out of nowhere suddenly rushed into the class and shouted something along the lines of, "There is an earthquake! Everyone get out!"
SO...Dylan and me, being the sarcastic-to-no-end ones, decided to mock at it. I stil remember me saying, "Ah yes, an earthquke. We're all going to die...ahh...everyone panic...jump from the building and run or your lives...if you still retain it then...WHATEVER!" Then, the admin suddenly rushed in and told us all to get the hell out of there, s the whole building was shaking. It was then at I actually stopped talking and felt the whole building shaking. And no, I didn't freak out. All I merely did was to walk out slowly and get the hell out of the building. See, I'm so obedient...NOT. And oh yeah...grape smoothie is good...sorry, random. Continuing, the fire alarm was horribly lagging, when I was at the 2nd floor, and most people had already evacuated, it rang. I mean, WHAT THE HELL?! We don't need a bell that rings to tell us that there is an emergency when we already KNOW IT, right? Sheesh...
Now, moving back to grape smoothie...I mean the earthquake, I think that as what caused HCI's power to go POOF, from slightly before 7 to around 8.36. But who knows? From 1G, we could see that there was smoke coming out from on top of the gym...*shrugs* maybe it was just a case of power outage...ah...whatever.
Ah yes...so, this is the end of my post. Whatever. Quote time!
