I woke up early today...not like usual where my parents need to tickle my toes to wake me...
Early in the morning, my mum asked if I've heard the news. What news? I mean, I just woke up & there she was asking something I don't know. I gave her a blurred look. She told me that the telephone rang continuously last night (Between 12-2 AM, I think..)--it rang continuosly because she was afraid to get it. Phone calls during these hour are usually bad news or emergencies. Eventually, she woke my dad up--It was my cousin who called. They were asked to move out from their flat as a result to 'tsunami warning'~~
I was suprised at first because I didn't feel a thing last night...no shaking or whatsoever.
The truth is: Nothing serious happened. Yet it caused panics to people especially those who live near the beach. It was partly due to spreading news through phone calls and SMS. [Just follow these links for more information.]
Quake in RP sea panics Sabah--The Manila Times
THE country's tsunami warning system was put to test in Sabah last night when an earthquake occurred in southern Philippines--New Sunday Times, Malaysia
Tremors rouse Sabah villagers from their sleep--The Star Online
Many of them seek for safer places->>Some people in Labuan Island went to the airport to catch the earliest flight to get out of the island. After the tsunami disaster last 26 December, the people in Sabah became more 'sensitive' to any warnings related to tsunami. If I'm not mistaken, last month there was a false alarm in Semporna(?) too which caused the people there move to higher ground.
A friend of mine who is studying in MRSM called me in the afternoon and told me she cried when she heard the news. She was worried about her family.
I am glad nothing bad happened because I don't want to die young. I still have many things to do.
