    dragoncity – The earthquake is moving closer to us. :twisted: Now, the epicentre was in Tawau, I heard.

    superweightkoalabear – Wuah, that means really got strong wan.

    bryan – Some of us more prone to feel it than others. Usually, in my house, only a 2/3 of us feel it while the rest don’t.

    Yes, I felt it too and I live in a 6 storey apartment in Kota Damansara PJ. I was surfing the net about 10.29pm and then suddenly my sliding door started to rattle. But it was not a very strong tremor here in KD and lasted about less than 10 seconds or so.

    i think my cucu’s cucu may not hav much time left on this earth. bizarre weather changes, even more bizarre human bahaviours are becoming more and more common…. end of the world lai (come) liau.

    there was a small earthquake not too long ago in london, happened at around midnight, was in bed.. woken up by the sound of the wardrobe doors banging. for 2 seconds… i tot… mati liau, now really i see ghost, 2 seconds later.. i tot again, it cannt be, there is no such thing as kui (ghost)…. my brain then whispered to me if it was the next door neighbour having a ‘good time’, i said… wah lau, he is not that keng man! only then i tot it could be an earthquake, asked wife.. ‘r u awake?’ she replied yes… i frowned.. ‘why did nt u say something earlier, i tot i saw ghost’ got up opened the curtains, trees still standing, no cars crashing… i know i knw… i c too many disaster movies but i was hoping to see some actions like ppl coming out etc
    first time… unexpected, a bit takut….even a big man like me. (ssshhhhuis…don tell ah)

    No news on any major tragedy, so I hope it is a mild one. But you know what? Since the tsunami 2003 earthquake, we are getting this a lot. The epicentre of the earthquake is moving closer to Malaysia. :shock:
