Hell, I sure didn't learn that from geography lessons back in Secondary school.
I was travelling on Hong Kong's longest suspension bridge - possibly Asia's longest suspension bridge too - when an earthquake measuring 3.5 on the Richter scale hit Hong Kong.
I felt nothing.
In fact, I did not know about it till I reached Causeway Bay and met with the rest of my colleagues. When they told me about the earthquake, I thought they were joking.
Only when I returned to my hotel around 1am and watched the news that I realised that they weren't.
I can't believe it. A Signal 3 typhoon and a mini quake hit Hong Kong while I was there but I saw and felt neither. How shitty.
I'm not being morbid, but if these things were to happen, at least let me feel a little something! C'mon, Singapore gets none of such encounters so it would be cool to experience a teeny-weeny bit of some of Mother Nature's tantrum.
