Sumatra Earthquake at 7.3M tremor felt in KL

It was just yesterday at approximately 6.15 – 6.20pm and I was in fan fan’s house at 18th storey high building.. felt the tremor from the Sumatra Earthquake there! I remembered clearly that I was showing fan fan some funny videos which my fella friends updated in their Facebooks and me, sitting on the floor suddenly felt so dizzy @.@ :S And I thought that I had it at first because of over exhaustion ( I really didn’t rest well for almost 1 week ).. then I went forward and rest my head on my both palms and guess what?? Started shifting left and right even more.. at the moment .. my mind went blank and thought…. oohh no.. am I experiencing having some kind of minor heart attack or what? Heart was beating rather fast and heart that time.. thought that it was because of the loud and hard pounding caused my body to move left and right :S After a few seconds, fan fan said.. eh.. why am I feeling dizzy?? Next, my another friend staying in the same house suddenly exclaimed.. why is my body going left and right.. Is there an earthquake in Malaysia? Should we run down?? I was stunned and a little worried I must admit.. but at the back of my head.. I knew that it must be a massive one from Indonesia.. since it’s the nearest country which suffer from earthquake regularly =.= I instantly said a little prayer over the victims in Indonesia and simultaneously, went online to check for the latest Asia earthquake info.

I was kind of shocked when I clicked onto the first link.. (couldn’t find it back now because of too many news regarding this earthquake had overlapped the link in Google).. It said there was a quake at 7.9 Magnitude in Pacific Ocean which is approximately 30KM away from Padang, Sumatra with the depth of 8KM. WOW!!! I told fanfan the girls and they commented that it was even stronger than the devastating earthquake in Sichuan back in last year which was at 7.8 Magnitude! I felt a stab in my heart because I didn’t know how many people would die this time.. Doing more research on it and more info had found that Tsunami warning has been issued which will sweep Indonesia, Sri Lanka, India, Malaysia and Thailand.. again!!! These countries were the victims of the 2004 Tsunami :( ….. the earthquake epicenter was the same as previous one in year 2004 that’s why the same countries would be affected again.. sigh @.@ .. my thoughts were flying everything.. concerned about the mother nature.. questioning myself and God.. is His second coming soon to arrive? Is it His plans to gather bits and bits of people from all over the world and judge them instead of shutting down the entire planet by allowing some huge meteors hit the earth? Or creating even MEGA MEGA Tsunami?? I really don’t know… I felt sorry for those who didn’t know how much God loves them… this incident has motivate me to reach out to even more people… to share the gospel of God and be saved (Romans 1:16, I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes..)

From the research I did… I got even more news on how frequently minor earthquake has been reported.. all between 5 – 5.5 Magnitude around the world. The very recent Tsunami has killed hundreds of people in Samoa, America.. also got to know from my mum that New Zealand too got it.. twice I think.. not sure about that but ever since the 2004 Tsunami.. more earthquake occurred and the weather over the world has been acting strange… Malaysia was always being regarded as one of the safest countries in the world as it does not consists of Volcano, not included in the “Ring of Fire” which meant no earthquake would occur here.. besides that, no tornado, hurricane or some sort of strong wind too.. but now, it’s beginning to experience the Tsunami and the earthquake tremor… I guess the plates have been shifted and Malaysia is closer to the “Ring of Fire”

All I can do now is to fast and pray for the victims… and reach out for more people…
