Ohmigosh, did you feel that?!

At around 4.40pm today, we felt tremors in our office, aftershock of what we know to be an earthquake that happened off the coast of Aceh.

For me, it was like a literal hit in the back, but that was all I felt. I guess the dwindling tremors didn't affect me much after that was because I was already having a three-hour old migraine at that point. Based on what my colleagues told me, the floor was still shaking as we high-tailed it outta there(!)left, which means the tremors should have lasted around 5-10 minutes.

We even took the elevator down. I know that the infinitely-right thing to do was to take the stairs, but we were on the 16th floor. And the elevator arrived just when we were about to head down the fire escape, sooo.... *shrug*

When the elevator reached 'Ground', we totally ran out of the building.

6.46pm - And here we go again. Second wave, blimey.

Update: Rumor is that tsunami will hit Penang at 9.11pm.

Edit made on 2 May 2012: No tsunami, folks. Also, watched The Avengers in theatres twice.

I feel so detached...

...from the cinema.

There are like, a crapton of movies that I would like to see right now, except that I can't spare the time to go see them on account of me having to work at all hours. Including weekends.

Kid you not. It's a public holiday today, and I'm sitting in office, banging out billable items and emails.

[And this xD]

My only consolation is that I get to sleep in a bit (instead of having to reach office at 8.30am) and that I get to wear jeans. Oh, and the fact that today isn't a regular workday (despite full attendance) is that I'm allowed to feel like leaving when I want.

And today, I feel like leaving at 5-ish, on account of me being already here at 9-ish in the morning.

Oh, simple joys.
