About 7+pm Singapore time, there was an earthquake in Bengkulu province. I was having my dinner and I didn’t feel anything. At 7.46pm, someone sms-ed me telling me there was an earthquake.

They were wary about the possibility of another tsunami, but until now I haven’t read any further news on that, so I guess we’re safe.
