Breaking news:

Feel the EARTHQUAKE in MMU, Malacca

No, I wasn't in campus when it happens. I don't even know there's an earthquake. I was working in Tesco laughing and teasing Steven as mentioned in previous post. I wouldn't know if Fabian didn't tell me. I was at Mr Ong's computer shop taking pictures *during work time, tsk tsk* when he came to tell me the news. I was shocked but at the same time, thank God I wasn't in the building. My friend, Ayu called me to tell me about what had happened. She said that the security guards felt the shakes and quickly went into every of the classes and rush the students out. I talked to one of the security guards and she said that the people in FBL building felt the earthquake more than the others in the campus.

"Several buildings are said to have swayed slightly..." really frightened me. I felt as if my legs are becoming jellies and I am going to fall to the floor in this lab. I can't imagine myself in that situation.

I am a girl who is terrified of almost everything!

Don't blame me because Malacca is a safe place if you don't count in the robberies, murders, kidnapping, and suicides. I lived here for about 21 years already. Nothing bad happened to me except the grass in front of my house got burnt and more than 5 people came to put it out. So, I am not prepared to face such things especially earthquake!

Imagine the FBL building shook and collapsed and you are in the lobby. The 4 floor building fall on you.... ok, no horror stories here. Thank God everyone's alright. Classes are cancelled until this afternoon. Worst, last night's replacement class for PAE1024 have to be replaced again. Aiyo~

p.s: if anyone of you want to ask if it really really happened, well, classes have been cancelled and all buildings are closed, so... what more you want to ask?
