I was using the computer, then suddenly the whole computer table shook. I thought it was the printer doing job... But there was no printer!!!
Then the tremor got bigger in intensity, I felt I was shaking as well. To confirm, I sat on the floor and 100% confirm it IS an earthquake tremor...

SINGAPORE : Singapore buildings swayed after an earthquake measuring 7.9 hit Indonesia on Wednesday evening.
The massive quake struck off the western coast of Indonesia's Sumatra island, prompting authorities to issue a tsunami warning, meteorologists said.
The undersea earthquake, which hit at 6:10 pm (1110 GMT), struck in the sea some 100 kilometres (60 miles) southwest of the city of Bengkulu, at a depth of roughly 15 kilometres, the US Geological Survey said.
The quake was strongly felt in the capital Jakarta, some 600 kilometres away, with tall buildings swaying.
An official at the Indonesian Meteorology and Geophysics Agency said a tsunami warning had been issued.
Indonesia was the nation worst hit by the earthquake-triggered tsunami of December 2004, which killed some 168,000 people in Aceh province alone.
The archipelago nation sits on the Pacific "Ring of Fire" where continental plates collide, causing frequent seismic and volcanic activity. - AFP/ch/ms
