magnitude 7.9 earthquake!

unsuspectingly, i was rather frustrated at the slow internet line, which happened all of a sudden around 6.30pm today. while chatting with kclee, i actually said that it was probably the end of the month so most people are abusing their unused bandwidth. that was silly of me, no? XD

then he went like oh shi- because there was a magnitude 7.9 earthquake at padang, sumatra of indonesia! by then i was only staring at the figures: 475 km (295 miles) SSW of KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia. that means less than 500km away from KL!


the first tremor.
soon after ten minutes or so, another friend i was chatting to asked if i felt anything like an earthquake? i said no, but i told him there was one that happened recently at magnitude 7.9 500km away from KL! (i am such a drama queen eventhough i did not feel anything.)

luckily he was safe, because i terus interviewed him about his experience. ironically, his msn display nick was Miracle. XD

it seems that he was on the 8th floor and described the feel was "shake to right abit.. then left abit but still stay in same place" so he must have thought he was dizzy. as for his roommate, poor guy, was having his maggi and thought he was having a headache because the maggi was shaking a bit...

the second tremor.
and then, there was a second time Miracle felt the tremors! by then, he already noticed that there were many people gathering at the ground floor, probably calling the developers that the building was going to collapse, or call moms to buy their apartment lot numbers before saying that they phoned the developers, or call/msn/FB/twitter/etc their friends about what was happening to them (including calling the developer and mom). i'm sure someone would have yelled "EARTHQUAKE!!!" by then.

i am located at Puchong when it happened - did not feel a thing other than very slow internet.

Miracle was nearby university LRT station (on the 8th floor of a building) - felt the tremors.

his sister was nearby asia jaya LRT station (at work in office probably) - felt the tremors too.

did you?

Daiso @ IOI mall - snacks and drinks!

over the last weekend, i was at IOI mall, so i decided to take a quick browse at Daiso for what new japanese-imported stuff they might have stocked for my eyes, wallet, and now... stomach. XD

located just before the cashier counters, there are four to five shelf-sides that are loaded with goodies that some of you may have been waiting for since going to Daiso outlets in other countries (i.e. singapore) where they have snacks and drinks.

i skipped the first shelf (clearly visible at Daiso IOI mall outlet entrance) as it was a small side that had stuff like instant noodles. plus, i dont want to be a traffic hazard at the entrance on a weekend!

junk food galore: a variety of potato chips, crackers, biscuits/cookies, and candies!

mostly drinks (bottles/cans) with fruity jelly, gum and marshmallows~

instant pre-ready jelly/pudding/yogurt(?), and crackers of sorts.

now i really want to spoil myself with all the yummies and review how they tasted, but i'll probably leave it to somebody with better taste buds than me. (i am not a junk foodie.) i'll probably treat myself with drinks and instant noodles (and perhaps marshmallows) the next time i give Daiso a visit.

"well, about today's Free Program, did we properly fly to the sky?"

"that sort of stuff, without saying it out loud, you'd know it's the best right?" replied Pete.

"really, you don't understand. there are things better off said in words even if you already know how it is..."

"is that so?"

"yeah, there are."

"i guess so. well, then... we definately flew through the sky that time. i think we showed them the best performance. i thought i'd never taste that sensation again. with this, there is nothing that i regret. thank you, Tazusa."

"one more thing... there's something i want to say..."

"what's wrong? with that scary face?"

"seriously, just shut up and listen! i..."



"oh, its snowing."

"really..."

"letting snow fall for the parting scene, god can be easy going for doing this."

"parting...?"

"hey, Tazusa."

"what?"

"it seems my time is almost up."

"w-wait a minute! i still have something to say!"

"a lot of things happened for 100 days, huh? but the time flew by in a flash. i ate the most tomatoes in my life in these past three months, but it had been fun."

"don't go! its okay to share me... well, changing and taking a bath, there are a lot of other embarassing things, but i can endure that any time! so...!"

"being told these things by Tazusa, i'm honoured. but this was decided already. i told you i don't like crying."

"that and this is different."

Pete, Pete, Pete, Pete, Pete...

"Pete, i... about you..."

"i wish you'd see me off with a smile for the last time. Tazusa, goodbye."

"Pete, i love you."
