Sick, Earthquake, Singapore

I was sick for a few days, then Amelie was sick yesterday (very serious runny nose), but she's fine today and was happy to go to school this morning.  Me?  Still dizzy, headache......

Monday afternoon, we were taking a nap, and suddenly I felt there's a earthquake, I was awake, but can't believe there's earthquake in SZ (thinking I was dizzy, sick only), but noticed the things in my living room was shaking, I knew it's true; I was so afraid there must be some serious earthquake in Taiwan; but NO, I watched the news at once, and this time is Sichuan, China.  I feel so sad, cos from past experiences, I know there must have lots of people dying (and by watching the news in these 2 days, numbers climbed up to 9000 people killed, and it's still counting.....

I was in Taipei when there's a "921 earthquake" in Taiwan, that time is 7.3-magnitude earthquake (this time is 7.9!).  That night I was in my living room, keying some stupid numbers in my laptop (I have a job at that time), my E was sleeping, (no Amelie yet) so when it happened, the electricity went out, then I hid myself under the wooden coffee table, and I heard lots of broken glasses sound, falling cupboard sound ........I thought I was going to die (1st time in my life), but I felt so sad, cos I was going to die alone in the living room without my E, my Mom and my Brother by my side........of course, we're safe, but that's a very horrible experience!

My E will go to Singapore next week (business trip) and he asked me to go with him, I said NO, cos I've been to there before (when Amelie was 2 yrs. old) and I don't want to waste money (OK, housewife -  SAVE SAVE SAVE$$$$); but he just wanted me to go with him.  And he asked Amelie if she wants to go, of course she loves to go, she has no memory of Singapore already.  Being so sick these days, he just booked tickets, hotel, and he asked me for any choice of the time, hotel.......I said whatever, I just don't want to think.

Lucky to have my E, he just wants me to get away for a few days, not being so depressed (well, I'm not depressed now, I'm just dizzy).  Hope that more lucky people survive in Sichuan, China!
