quake & tsunami alert

felt my head spinning.
maybe due to overdose of coffee, i thought to myself.

felt the floor (of 44th floor!) vibrating. then swaying.
maybe i'm feeling nauseous and hvg another migraine?

the floor shook stronger. maybe its the elavator - of the floor beneath. all these happening while i was in the meeting with the project team, director, clients and bosses at about 630-640pm. so i moved to another seat. still the vibration. and swaying.

looked to AA: is it just me or is the floor moving?
AA: i thought it was just me!
echoed by eeeeveryone else.

it continued for a while more. LAMA pulak tu! and PD still wanted to continue with the meeting. nak discuss presentation slides katanya, to prep for tmr's steering comm meeting. GILA?!

after a while.. we just packed up everything and left. takde masa nk shut2down lappie pun. and yes, PD still continued the meeting with a few others who believed they have 9 lives.

after what felt like the longest journey down from the 44th floor in the elavator, we were now stuck at the carpark basement - naturally. and then later when we surfaced, the roads in the city was in a standstill. those - day of judgement, world came to an end kinda scenes in the movies.. with orange skies, yeah like that.

so i still, for the life of me, can't understand how some ppl finds all this funny?

notes on chains of events:
quake in melb
epic dust strom in sydney
terrible typhoons in HK and china
tsunami in samoa, 8.3
