Back from 3-day holiday, weekend and Wesak Day. I was shocked by 2 news happened within these 3days.
On Tuesday morning when I was going back to my hostel, I saw some fragmented concrete along the road. I thought it was some maniac drivers who carelessly hit the roadside. What really happened was, on Sunday, a lightning actually hit Block F's roof top. The concrete fragment eventually dropped and damaged part of the shed below it. Luckily the lightning didn't hit the people inside the room and no one was hurt when the fragments dropped.
The lightning wasn't that shocking compared to the second news. Students staying in hostel actually felt the earthquake from Sumatra. It was at night and most of the students were in their room. Some thought the vibration came from either downstairs or upstairs, vibration of laud songs being played. After vibrating for about 5 seconds, some screamed. Most of them came out of the room and wondered what happened.
I would say it is unfortunate that I wasn't there to experience or witness, the lightning and earthquake incident.
Malaysia was once known as natural-disaster-free country. But it seems that the defination should be ripped off from Her. World is changing slowly. I guess we should be ready for other unpredictable disasters. There is no longer any absolute that no other natural disasters will happen to this country. Despite why we called the location of this country as strategic, we have experienced Tsunami, various typhoon wipeout, minor earthquakes and so on. Anything could happen as the world is changing. Be ready.
