Well, I’ve done it all now. I’ve survived not one, but two earthquakes. Not real ones, of course, but the ones that are safely several hundred miles away. Years ago I felt one at University in Wales, and this morning we felt some tremors in Singapore following a magnitude 6.3 earthquake in Indonesia that was felt here in Singapore. Apparently, the quake originated around 30 miles from Padang, a city on the western coast of Sumatra (430 miles from Singapore).
As I said in my earlier post, I am suffering from flu these days and am usually a bit dizzy as a result, so originally I thought nothing of it. But once my water started to ripple (just like on Jurassic Park), and my bag straps started to sway, I realised my inner ear hadn’t been playing silly beggars and that this was the real deal. We’ve been getting a few aftershocks this afternoon, so it could be fun!
