Well I must say, am nearly got used to the quakes, we are calling them aftershocks instead of earthQUAKES. So, everyone were pretty calm, sitting at their desks and waiting for the building management's announcements one after another...
Lifts were shopped and re-started, so were the metro lines, stopped and re-started, one by one. And I was able to get home with some company, some colleagues, although the metro was super packed, hot like sauna and we were squashed like sardines/lemons...That 20mins journey was like, that I have been working from the train for several hours or so...exhausted...
First thing I did when I got home? Nope, not shower, not lying on sofa, not napping, but start packing my emergency survival kit/backpack (yet FYI I have put them away already) and put it right next to my bed...
In any cases, I was going to say, this earthquake, like any other disasters, really did something to us...To name but a few~
- We are more aware of what we really need, not money, not our most expensive camera, but a torch, or a whistle, or bottles of water, or even some tissue rolls...
- We are more aware of the amount of resources we consumed, natural or artificial, such as water, electricity...where the food came from...
- We are more aware of who we really cared about and loved most...those whom we always called and remembered when the earth quakes...
Indeed, we gain some and we lose some...So, what do you gain from THE earthquake?
