Earthquake After Shock
(Written on 30 Mar)
Monday night/ Tuesday morning I went to bed quite late. Ian and hubby were already sound asleep. When I lied down on the bed next to DH, I suddenly felt the bed moved. I thought I might have waked DH up and he changed his position.
After a while, it happened again, the magnitude was quite big. I was rather annoyed, and sat up, stared at him, thinking he was doing it too much. I thought – “Is this a silent complaint about me waking you up huh?”
I decided to catch him doing it again, so I continued to sit upright and stared at him. Nothing happened.
Then I lied down, felt it again. This time, it felt like… the bed’s 4 legs felt like jelly and swung left and right.
Then only the thought of the tsunami incident came. “Oops, is this earthquake?” I quickly stood up and wanted to ensure it is what I thought. Nothing was felt again. I guessed it was the bed’s problem, so pushed the bed all the way against the wall. Tried lying down again, everything went back to normal. So, eventually I decided that the bed was the culprit.
Only till next day morning, from newspaper I learnt about the earthquake. Next time I will be more alert on this, I promise to myself…
