Earthquake Tremor Felt At KL!

I woke up at 3am yesterday and couldn't get back to sleep so I came on9 and download my movies plus chat on MSN. By 6am, there's no else to chat with so I checked my blog and replied messages.

Around 6.15am, I felt dizzy suddenly and at first I thought it was because I'm too tired and lack of sleep. But the same feeling continued for like 1 minute so I know it's not me. I look at my headset which is hanging on the side of my computer table, and I saw the wire swaying from left to right too.

I have felt earthquake tremor for quite a number of times since 2004 (the Tsunami incident), so I know it's another earthquake tremor again. But this time, the tremors are much stronger than those I've experienced before.

Went out of my room and I wanted to ask my brother if he felt it but by the look on his face I know he did. So the 2 of us grabbed our wallet and go out. It is recommended not to use the lift during this kind of situation, but me and my brother still took the lift lol =x
[WARNING: To the little kids at home, please do not learn from me]

Even in the lift I can still feel the tremor. Went down and sat at the bus stop opposite my place for about half an hour. I thought to myself, would the other residents feel it or would they be having a great time in Dreamland without realising that the earthquake tremor occurred. But moments later there was a few more person who came down haha. Not much though =x

While sitting at the bus stop, I also regretted for not taking a video of the wires swaying so that I can post it here haha. This proves that when something happen unexpectedly, you won't think so much XD Perhaps next time, IF it happens again I will take a video of it =P

Btw, the moment I got home I tried to Google and see the tremor was from which earthquake. I found out that a Magnitude 7.8 Earthquake took place at Northern Sumatera at 5.15am(GMT +7)!! Omg..another strong earthquake took place again. I haven't found any reports with more details regarding the earthquake but I can be sure there's certainly gonna be a high number of deaths =(

After finding out about the earthquake from here and here, I feel really down now. Seriously, imagine the damages, and the loss of lives. It's really really sad to know about it...I will definitely follow the news regarding the earthquake and I hope that the death toll is not too high..Let's all pray for the victims.

P/S: I wrote this post in 2 different mood. The part behind was written in a really emo mood..I am affected by the news that I found out and I really don't think it's funny anymore.

UPDATED 10.55am:
The magnitude of this earthquake has been confirmed at 7.7 and not 7.8 as what I saw this morning. Tsunami warnings have been lifted as well 2 hours after it was issued =)
