Earthquake in Singapore

There was an earthquake in Sumatra which measured 6.6 Richter Scale . It happened in this morning and the tremors were felt in Singapore about 11:55am. I heard from people who have experienced earthquakes before said that before the earthquake happens, animals will behave strangely. Dogs will be barking, insects (like cockroaches, centipedes, ants) will come out crawling from their dens etc.

In my office, which is normally very quiet, saw a sudden burst of live. My colleagues were all coming out from their cubicles and talking about the tremor. People who hardly spoke a word in the normal course of their days, suddenly became so vocal and animated.

Apart from the burning question of how come animals can sense such impending disasters, do you see the similarities between the behaviour of critters and my colleagues?

Till my next post.

Fouk yous?



What does it mean? What language is this? What dialect group? If research is done on this what demographics will it uncover?


Here is another shot...



Notice how clean the toilet bowl is? How about if I told you I found this in toilet in a government building?


Interesting isn't it?

By for now (pun intended).
