I felt like a giant. The Earth shuddered at my foot again.
When Thu said she saw lamppost swaying like a pendulum, I was so tickled. But this is no funny joke. At the same time the lamppost turned into a pendulum, houses were dilapidated in Sumatra.
This morning, I was woken up by this little creaking noise I heard in my dream. I opened my eyes wide, at the same time straining my ears to make out where that noise came from. Then I finally concluded that it wasn't just my imagination - that creaking noise, however soft and insignificant it sounded(to a sleeping log like my roomate), seemed to come from all directions! In desperation for an answer, I racked through my memory, when I stopped at a piece of news dated two days ago - that fateful day when a strong tremor was felt. The news-broadcaster said something like, "signs of an earthquake include swaying objects around your area, tremors from the ground, and
creaking sound from the walls"
OH MY GOODNESS! I thought. Is it coming again? It could well be one of the aftershocks. Then when I took out today's papers, you can very much guess what news was waving at my face.
"Four quakes in 24 hours" (or something like that. I can't remember the title exactly)
The reports are intimidating. It's as if they are spelling out an imminent doom.
Well, all of us are more or less half way through this battle. A battle between our evil tutors and us! But we will trash them flat, won't we? Hah I wish LOL! But in any case, we are already halfway through. Persevere, people! We will prevail. Liberty is just round the corner.
I will prevail. Yes I will.
