So that's why I was feeling so crappy this mid-morning. I honestly thought I was falling sick or didn't have enough sleep. Almost took half day to go home and sleep! Turns out I was actually experiencing earth tremors and they were turning my stomach inside out, and mesing with the liquid in membranes. Ain't nature wonderful?

Poor Indonesia. Like can never recover, like that. If its not one thing, its another. I hope we will be able to help them out again. Its when tragedy follows tragedy like this that your friends get "asylum fatigue", and stop donating as much as they should.

Remember the Indonesians in your prayers tonight.

Noone in Singapore got hurt althought apparently people ran crying and screaming from their trembling buildings this afternoon. Or at least one chick did, but trust the media to distort things.
