As I was staring at my computer screen, I felt a bit dizzy and I noticed my cursor started moving but I wasn’t moving my hands. The next thing I know, everyone started shouting:
“It’s shaking”…”The building is shaking”… “Eh eh, bergoyang lah!”
Apparently some offices in Malacca have been closed down since afternoon today whilst tremors were felt throughout the peninsular Malaysia. My office is contemplating evacuating the building.
Update:
For the very first time, I experienced a so called minor quake. Really... a mere 10 seconds of tremors made me wanna puke and felt dizzy. One thing though, when my cursor started to move and my hands were shaking without me moving it... I tot I was suffering from parkinson disease hahaha !!!
You know what is the best part? When we were talking about evacuating... one of the senior manager came up and said "what about our business continuation plan"?
At the possible point of death... all she is concern of is work...!I guess it's time to write modern slavery part II!!! ... but not today... I am having a severe headache from the lack of sleep due to blogging... I need some rest today. Goodnight everyone!

My chair shook @ about 1150am.. then a few minutes before two just now, it shook again...
I wonder why it causes giddiness, huh?
And I thought I felt dizzy cos not enough sleep...

I read about the earthquake in Padang, Sumatera in the late afternoon. Didn't feel the tremor at my workplace.

guess it happened only at places around Kl and below..
penang felt nothing
yea..i didnt feel a thing at all in penang... Lolz~
Maybe cuz only the peninsular shook and since penang is not attached to it..we didnt feel it?
Ok..i'm just bull-shitting~
Dear all - the news is out... 6.3 on the richter scale near padang (not field), in sumatra.

Stay cool...it isn't the end of the world...LOL!!!!!
Heard bout this on the radio
I think I would not be really bothered as I can feel vibration in my office every like 15 to 30 minutes
I guess some people are just too calm like in your case of the SM
LOL
huh!? no big damage right?
my family is in Klang
earthquake? what earthquake? (imagine paris hilton's bimbo'ness) hehehehe...
you know, u may still be having the first parkinson's attack at the precise moment of the earthquake!! u never knowwwwww. :-p
lady boss prob tot if she doesn't die n she didn't do her work, she may want to contemplate dying when it's time to report on the work. so, better die doing it. :-)
u r blogging too much! *knocks zewt out with a glass bottle* take some rest.
oops..hmm..i didn't feel anything..aye >.<
Sorry, zewt, mine was a metaphorical one, while yours was real!
Hope you've recovered from the experience.
lol, i experienced the shaking without knowing it was an earthquake tremor. Because across my office block, there is a construction work going on and for the past weeks, when they start drilling borepiles, we could feel our building shaking. So yesterday I thought it was just another pile drilling works.. Hehe...
Only after I watched last night news, I found out hahahaha! :P
That's very typical isn't it - i remember in my previous job - be it flood or storm or earthquake, think the bosses would be more concerned about the files and laptops and the information stored, never mind the employees!
Oh My goodness..What time did it happen? I guess I was fast asleep! =(
I wanna know how it felt like! =P
Hey.. Wanna exchange links?
Was drowsy working on my Matlab when it happened. Housemate felt it, I didn't.
One helluva blur sotong here.
Maverick - haha... the world IS coming to an end... just dunno when it will happen...
zeroimpact - too calm? some ppl are just too work driven, their work is their life... need to blog about this.
SuLee - no la... everything is ok. just some minor tremors. it was quite an experience though.
cosmic freak - haha... so you're a bimbo too?
me - ahhh, i shall keep an eye on myself to see if there will be another parkinson attack. as for the lady boss, i think some ppl are just too work driven, their work is their life. got oustanding work, cant sleep.
blogging too much? i think i have not been blogging enough lately. and yest's streamyx's boo boo means i cant blog.

BlueApple - it was my first experience, dunno if i will feel it again, guess you miss the fun... hah!

Kenny Mah - Most of my friends who are too near to the ground didnt feel anything either... have to say it was one helluvan experience.

Huei - 10th floor should be able to feel already ler... hahaha... super blur.
