LOCATION : CHERAS, PANDAN INDAH, MALAYSIA.
Exactly at 12:12am i felt dizzy, suddenly i was like gonna pass out like that! i tried holding on the the wall for support but to no avail my conditions did not improves, I try standing up but still ended up dissapointed, I am still very giddy and dizzy, my vision are not focused. Something is very wrong with me! I gathered all my energy and walked towards the living room, i pass by my marine aquarium i can see as if something is shaking the whole aquarium and the water level are swaying from side to side! OMG! EARTHQUAKE !!!!
I quickly rushed to wakeup Mrs. Wingz and ask her to evacuate the house. We grab our wallet and car keys and dashed out of the house. Before that i send a message to my Sifu via ICQ "EARTHQUAKE!!!" then I get the hell outta my house.
Mrs. Wingz called our nanny, shes living in a high rise building and Mrs. Wingz told her bout the EARTHQUAKE! and that we are on our way to pick up Gerald. On the way we keep calling everybody we know and inform them of the EARTHQUAKE! I drove like a Phuacker! I run a trapik light, I turn in a double line road and I even drove into a one way street! I am phuacking worried of my 2 yrs old lil devil!
We arrive at nanny's place to find out that Gerald is fine, we got him back to our house now. On the way back i managed to snap this few pics from a condominium called Putri Court. You can see all the resident are being evacuated and waiting for further instructions at the main entrance.
Residents of Putri Park condo eagerly awaits further instructions
The Main Entrance are being blocked by the crowds
