This is the first time I experience earthquake in my life.
At around 1am, while me and my room mates were happily taking pictures of what we have bought and 2 of the guys came to our room to pass us our stuffs, we felt the room shaking.
I was sitting at the couch in front of our bed looking at the ready cut neoprints we took while Xiu was taking pictures of my piglet that I brought over from Singapore when the room started to shake.
I was thinking why did Xiu shaked the bed so vigorously and looked up when Xiu was asking me not to shake the bed.
During then, I said I didn't shake the bed and asked the two guys in our room whether the feel the room shaking? All said the felt the shake. I was rather nervous as it was my first encounter of earthquake (although it's a mild one).
I kept asking what should we do, what should we do? So all of us was at our original place while the phone ring and another guy from their room called asking if we felt the vibration. Hence we asked him to come down to look for us, taking the stairs.
I believe some other places must have a more serious earthquake than us as ouris a mild one and it only sustain for less than 1 minute.
I have no idea what we can do if the shake will be greater as our table is small and I don't think all of us can go under it.
But it's an experience that I can't have in Singapore, however, I didn't want it to happen again too. It's scary.
