Here I was at the exact place, infront of my notebook working on some final details when suddenly, I felt dizzy a little. Demmit!! Why am I having a dizzy spell. Then my sliding doors shook and rattled! Then I thought I heard a slight faint rumbling. If the rumbling came first, I would have thought it was my tummy grumbling about the lack of food!

I rushed out, only to find myself in the middle of the road. I walked to the guard house, the guard was busy playing something on his mobile phone. He did not feel a thing. Did I imagined it? Apparently not. Another fella was also looking around the building. He confirmed that he felt it too, and was equally amazed that no one came down. Anyways, I check.. confirmed that an earthquake measuring 6.2 on the Ricther Scale occurred somewhere on North Sumatra at about an hour before I felt it. Meaning the shockwave traveled an average of 305kmh. Fuhyor!!
