I got a few concerned e-mails regarding the earchquake that hit Jakarta, Indonesia. I must admit, I did feel the results of that, although everything is fine in Singapore. I heard it was rated about 8.2 or something, which is pretty scary. I had woken up on Thursday morning at 7:30 or so, freaking out because i felt my bed moving and saw my dresser shaking. I thought I was just dreaming or going crazy (or still a little tipsy from the night before), but no. It was actually the vibrations of an earthquake!
Appearently the building foundations here are built with diagonal frameworks, which allows for some swaying. And swaying sure does occer, my whole building was going back and forth. My roommates told me they were freaking out and laying on the floor, scared for thier lives. I laughed...although I guess I just never really thought of what I would do had it been a lot more serious.
But, just so you all know, I am fine...still kickin! Actually, on that note, I went to the gym yesterday...and man am I sore! First time in a month, I am feelin it. I am also feeling really bad asthma. I have been to the doctor a few times and now need to use an inhaler on a regular basis throughout the day. But, nonetheless, I am doing great!
