Guess We Are Safe (for the moment at least)

JAKARTA : More than 2,200 people were killed and hundreds more were missing or feared dead on Sunday after a huge earthquake off northern Indonesia triggered giant tidal waves and flash floods across western Asia. The quake, one of the largest in history and measuring 8.9 on the Richter scale, struck in the Indian ocean southwest of Aceh province on Sumatra island and unleashed massive destruction throughout the region.

The last statement gave me shudders. *shiver shiver*

It is reported that though the origin of the quake is from Indonesia (where it had claimed lots of lives), the earthquake resulted in tsunamis that struck Malaysia, Sri Lanka, India, Thailand and Maldives, claiming more lives.

Singapore is damn lucky not to experience that. Damn very lucky.
