It was probably around 6.30pm when I felt my chair shaking. It wasn't violent but the shaking was there. At first, I assumed it's the way I was sitting causing the chair to wobble. But it didn't stop even after I adjusted myself to a proper sitting position. Then I thought it's caused by the train crossing the track. Barely a few minutes later, my colleagues started commenting about the shake. And so the mystery was solved. We figured it was probably an earthquake somewhere in Indonesia.
I left before anymore tremor was felt. Half an hour later, staff were told to evacuate the building.
At another block, the staff reacted as we did. They gathered and sounded concern bout the tremor. But as quickly as they gathered, they went back to work. Goes to show that as long as you are not dead, your work is more important than your life :)
From the news: 7.6 magnitude tremor in Padang Indonesia
