EARTHQUAAAKKEEEE!!!

So i was at Bali with my family, and the last day we were there, which was the 19th of sept, BALI HAD AN EARTHQUUUAAAKKEEEE!! anyone who saw the news should know by now. GASPITY GASP!! FIRST EVER EARTHQUAKE EXPERIENCE (and i sure as hell hope its the last!) The earthquake had a magnitude of 6.4, FRIGGIN BIG OKAAAAYY!!! but it was not too bad at where i was staying, though my sister read online that one of the shopping malls (denpasar, we stayed there) collapsed? or something like that (not too sure)

Reactions:-

May (myself)
Sisters and I were in one room and parents in another. I think i was the earliest to wake in our room. The first time it occured it was just like a mild shake, but since im such a light sleeper i woke up and i was like WTH? EARTHQUAKE? but then it stopped, so im like... OKAAAAAY.... and a split second later, A BIGGER shake began and you could actually hear the rumbling of the ground and stuff. It was pretty freaky.

First thought - Gotta wake everyone up.
Second thought - LiEe won't wake up if i call her (its always damn hard to get her to wake up)

And so, i started shouting 'LIHSIEN LIHSIEN LIHSIEN LIHSIEN LIHSIEN!!!'

Hsien (eldest sis)
She woke up and she heard me calling out to her, she felt the bed moving violently.

First thought - Earthquake
Second thought - What to do? Get out. Get out fast.
Third thought - Parents still in the other room. need to warn them.

She SHOT out of bed, called out to me 'COME HERE COME HERE!!' and went to her slippers and to the door, but before she reached the door, the doorbell rang and mom was outside.

Ee (second sis)
Woke up when the bed was shaking.

First thought - Why is my pillow shaking?
Second thought - Is something wrong with my bed? (because her bed was the extra bed. one room supposed to only have two beds so she got the extra. and she thought the extra something wrong, damn lousy gonna collapse. *slaps forehead XD*)
Third thought - Is this an earthquake?

Third thought was mentioned out loud. To which I replied 'Yes, i think it is' while my eldest sister was walking to the door (as mentioned before).

Then Ee and i followed after Hsien,

Fourth thought - should i grab my jacket?

So Ee rushed to the chair where she placed her jacket and grabbed for it, only it was dark so she couldn't see, and grabbed my underwear instead (cause i placed my clean clothes that i wanted to wear that day on the chair) =____=" so she chucked that on the couch and just didnt care and ran out with us.

Meanwhile, i was struggling to wear my slippers. =_____=" (if real bad earthquake, die jor loh.)

Mum
She woke up while the bed was shaking,

First thought - BOMBING?!?!?!
Second thought - Earthquaaaake?!?!?!

dad told her she wanted to go to the gym early in the morn, and he wasn't in bed, so she's like 'oh he left to the gym already!' and 'i've got to get the girls!' and so she ran to our room and rang the doorbell.

Dad
Was in the loo while the ground started shaking. Mild shake, thought NOTHING WAN LAAAH, continue in the toilet. Second shake, OMIGOD. XD so he ran out, but EH?!?! LOU PO MISSING!! and then he opened the room door and found us ALL standing outside ready to leave and we're all like 'EH!??! PA?!' then we all rushed out to the lobby

Where everybody was in their PJ's. such a funny sight. by the time we ran out of our rooms the shaking stopped already. school kids from the opposite kindergarden were all gathered outside as well. After that dad went to the gym and we went to have breakfast cause didnt feel safe to go back to sleep.

Apparently bali hasnt had an earthquake in a long time already!! like 3 years maybe? what a coincedence, RIGHT RIGHT??!! anyway, luckily all the buildings in bali are short, cause they can only be as tall as a coconut tree. XD XD XD

Might or might not post up pictures from bali, took like 994 of them, kinda lazy to filter XD

LOVE!

London is alright! =D Getting colder and colder now =( i hope i dont catch a cold!! its so weird, cause i was always so paranoid back in msia and over here im alright with walking alone and stuff. i feel safe? i think im starting to get a lil scared again cause yesterday there was this guy who told me that only some areas are safe (thankfully the area im staying at is covered) like there was this indo girl who was sitting in a bus and then suddenly this guy sitting next to her like told her to get down at the next stop cause it wasnt safe. so she did. then after that she asked why? and he said, there were two black guys in front with a chinese girl between them... and the chinese girl is dead. omigod? yeah and the next day in the papers, it was reported that a chinese girl was found dead. bleah. damn freaky lah =( the guy is studying medicine, so he could tell that she wasnt living anymore and stuff. yeah. BLEAH BLEAH BLEAH freaked out. =(
