Shivers and Tremors

At 1155am , felt the whole parkway building trembling and shaking. I had felt giddy and thought I was suffering from a fainting spell. However, it isnt so. My colleagues too jumped up and felt the whole building swaying like a coconut tree.. (Maybe too exagerating huh?) Anyhow, we vacated the building and ran down the stairs with our wallets and handphones. Since its so close to lunchtime, we went for early lunch.

Subsequently when we are back in the office, there was a 2nd tremour, but this time, we didnt vacate.. think thats the after shock from the earthquake. Apparently, on a scale of 6.5 in sumatra.. Areas like Ang Mo Kio, East side and even Bukit Merah also experience such tremours...

This is the first time I experience this...

I wonder if Singapore would be submerged one day if the tectonic plates move again or if there is yet another Tsunami?
