a shocking truth

Oh no... has the world is about to come to an end? earthquake, flood and tsunami? at around 5pm this afternoon, my sister was about to feed her baby... i was carrying her baby. She suddenly look at me and said "can you feel the earthquake?"

I wasn't very sensitive about it. But when I stay quiet I could feel the floor is trembling. I wasn't panic at all. We were on a third floor but didn't go downstair *gasp* (pasrah bgt... lol)

The earthquake went for about a minute... Then I hurriedly switch on the tv to check, but my room could not open the channel of Metro Tv, so I switch it off again.

Dad came back from work and switch the channel to Metro Tv, we could see the breaking news about the earthquake. It came from Western Sumatra with 7,4 SR. My mum panicked and starting to call our relatives in Padang, but she can't get it through.

From the news,the reporter mention that there's no electricity supply in Padang, it was raining and there's a fire, plus many of the buildings are collapsed. geez... it is scary.

Mum tried to call again, and she can finally talk with my aunt. They are all okay, except everything in the house scattered all over the floor and the wall is cracked, all the glasses are broken >.<

Sad isn't it? But what matter the most is that they're okay and still in a perfect condition and I thank God for it. God bless them all.. :-)

Day 1 & 2 - Europe Trip

All the groups are required to gather at Terminal 2, Gate B near the perfume center. Our flight to Singapore is @ 17:00 and the tour leader wants us to be at the airport @ 14:00.
So here we are waiting for one family that haven't come yet. They were mum's younger sister family... lol. They were the last one to arrive. =P

Our tour leader is Hendrick Pratama. Heard that he's the manager of Shilla Tour @ Grand Indonesia. We only knew a couple of days after our tour is about to end.
He is shocked with what my aunt is brought... We bring 6 boxes of water...(Yeah that's what we always did =P), not to mention the number of luggages we had... lol...

He then pass the passport to all of us & since there's still a longtime to board, we're all waiting at the lounge, my uncle's family,my mum's friend and the other one is Panin Bank's branch manager in Padang. My mum's friend is rather talkative,she just can't stop talking...lol...

We reached Singapore at 19:35, our next flight to Barcelona is at 23:45. Geez, such a long transit time. I know that Changi has a lot of entertainment but what I wanna do is to take shower before my next flight. lol. The total flight and the transit time to Milan to reach Barcelona is 15-16hours.

Here's an inside look of the aircraft... (with the foods of course... haha) all pictures are taken amateurly, so forgive me for it is blur and the angle... >.<






And here's a pictures of Sagrada Familia, a masterpiece by Antoni Gaudi.... it's a church and the design is excellent!
The church is not complete yet... they said that it will take another 10-20years to complete... wow!











I didn't take much pictures with me in it cause I'm not in a mood to take pictures (I haven't shower yet ... lol)

Our next stop is Guell's Park...






Last stop is at Ramblas, a shopping complex in Barcelona...


This one reminds you of Meteor Garden right? LOL


At first, I was taking pictures of this mummy. Then he suddenly drag me with his rope and strangled me!!!*gasp*

Blackout

I was about to update my blog yesterday, then my room goes dark in an instance.
It's our daily routine blackout. Damn... The annoying thing is that our gen set is broken, they are fixing it and it won't be done so soon.
So we have no electricity in the house. My room is lighten by 1 candle ( I don't dare to put more in the room to avoid any fire accidents... cause I'm always having a deep sleep, so I could hear or feel nothing... lol)

I have so many things running through my mind, it just gets hazy day by day.
Even the happiest things that ever happened to me, I can't clearly remember it.
I am truly suck in memorizing >.<

My next entry is gonna be about my trip to Southern Europe with the family ! It was incredibly fun... Mum was on a good mood and she had a spending spree, imagine that... phew~
