Live from ChengDu

5-12-2008
2:00pm : I was having a conference meeting with my colleague in China, ChengDu ((成都)
2:10pm : We conferenced another colleague in for further discussed on some business issue.
2:20pm : Hearing a lot background noise...(外边有很多人。。。)...I hear no response from the other end of my colleague there...I thought it might have some party going on there...as I sounds like hearing someone just shut "ice-scream"
2:22pm : I waited on the phone patiently as it real important to continue the meeting.
2:23pm : Since 2:20pm, what I heard it just a noisy sounds....suddenly I got back the response from far end and told me that she is evacuating the building...and hung up the phone. At this moment. I again thought that it might be on fire emergency.
3:00pm : My netmeeting session still on with my colleague and hope that she can backup online soon to continue the discussion.
6:00pm : Travel back home and listened to radio report as usual. It was a shocking news...magnituded 7.8 earthquake was just happened in ChengDu...

Earthquake....wasn't means a lot in the 'safe-land' like Malaysia other than the most remarkable Tsunami experiences caused by the tidal-wave from Sumatra earthquake.

Flash back the few minutes experience of sounds earthquake, it had never been enough from the real situation experienced by the victim and frontline workforce that work damn hard on the rescue work. We..the earth residence and the god do bless you there, be it if you still alive or in heaven.
