i think the tremors felt just now were one of the worst. At 15 storeys, the movements experienced were quite pronounced, and the way the building moved front and back gave me a little chill.
In retrospect, i thought it was a little exciting. I wonder how much worse it is, where the 8-scale quake was genuinely felt.

I was on a bus journey home this afternoon, when i was overwhelmed by this general feel-good feeling.
Sitting on a comfy seat, listening to 933, and there outside, even the sky was such positively cloudless and bright.
The nice feeling was enhanced by the reminder that it was just 8 weeks left. And it also helped to know that a cousin of the same age is enlisting next week, losing his freedom very soon, while i will be gaining mine in no time.
Then, i also remembered about the gd news that WX told me last night. Fish Leong is coming for a concert on 29 dec! And ticket sales will commence on Tues, 11 Sept! (Anyone interested??)
And all remaining positive thoughts came in as well--no more sailings, the upcoming Tokyo and Mt Kinabalu trips etc.
I'm sure that the morning coffee contributed to this mini high~ But really, it's pretty great to be having nice things to look forward to..
