Yeah, Last Friday, we again, Had an Earthquake!
I was alone in my flat, did chatting with my friends while the desk where I put my lappy shook and made me shocked. I run outside to the hall and saw there was no panic things such us usually happen when an Earthquake happen. Ok I saw two of my neighbors whom I don't know the name ( that's Jakarta: its an amazing if you knew who stays near your house) They went downstairs by using the emergency stairs in spite of the elevator, but the way they reacted, it looked that they were not panic at all. The other mommy that I saw held the two daughters and tried to went downstairs too, but again, they were not panic at all.
So I remembered the advice of my mom in law that in there were an earthquake, we better not run downstairs use the emergency stairs to avoid the "breaking material buildings". So because we stay in the highest floor, it is better for us to stay there and find a hard material to hold on after the shaking time is over.. Because its more risky if we run through the stairs ( emergency stairs is the weakest area where earthquake happens, because most of people use that)
Then I stood in the edge of the floor, observed another hall trough the glass window for a few second. After I felt Ok, I went inside our flat and chatted with my fellas. One of them asked me " Grace, did you feel the earthquake ??" and I Shocked, released it, took my mobile, got my Jacket and there I saw a missed called from my hubby..ok, its really an earthquake, I thought.
Then I went downstairs and found that there were so many people. I did not want to go upstairs before my hubby came because I knew He will go home directly in this case and I was not wrong, 10-15 minutes waiting ( because the office is near) He arrived and I felt sooooo Happy and roomy ... Huh..Please God be with us every time and thank you for the guidance
