Tremors

The earthquake off the Coast of Sumatra last Tuesday resulted in half a day off for around 300 people working at One marina Boulevard (OMB). After tremors were felt for a 2nd time at about 2 pm, the building was evacuated.

A mandatory half day off was like a ‘free’ holiday. Everyone was in a good mood despite the damage a mere 420 kilometers away. Soon as the announcement was made, folks were cheering and clapping.

I know they are suffering but it just didn't feel close enough to home. I wonder how many felt the same way.

Made good use of the afternoon off to catch Dreamgirls. Lots of song and dance, but Jennifer Hudson’s super powerful voice, Oscar or no Oscar, frayed my nerves a little.
