28.12.06

A trigger, again, on the 26th December

2 years ago, tsunami was here (well nearby).

Singapore is flooding... but not due to the earthquake or its triggered tsunami (heard it might trigger one towards east of Philippines), but it all credits to the heavy December rainfall.

The 7.1-magnitude earthquake has brought about a disruption to our internet and telecommunication services in East Asia. IN SINGAPORE TOO!!! I was trying to do some internet research yesterday morning, I couldn't log on my MSN, not even say yahoo or google. Just as I was about to seek help from IT helpdesk (which I bet many did), a colleague came over and told me the culprit was yesterday's earthquake at Taiwan. Little did I know that these cables are actually planted underwaters. Now it's back and running, but still lagging slightly.

26
th December, what a day!
