I felt some tremors around 11:55am at Jurong West earlier and I thought I was just being too hungry that even my chair was shaking. After which I thought my fan was hitting my chair but when I checked it was stationary.

Then the messages come in fast and furious from my friends – and their friends – from several different locations: Collyer Quay (Colleagues in office), Circular Road (near Boat Quay), Robinson Road, Shenton Way DBS Building, Beach Road, Middle Road, Burlington Square, Marine Parade, Serangoon, Ang Mo Kio and even as far as Tai Seng near Paya Lebar.

It was a lot worse for those in Tai Seng and Beach Road (Gateway East or something like that), because they evacuated the building.

According to USGS, there was an earthquake in Southern Sumatra at around the same time. Let’s hope we won’t feel the rest of the tremors because a big one is usually followed by a serious of smaller ones.

Note: Follow up Tremors around 13:50 hrs.
