dah balik Welly ...selepas gempa bumi

Aku dah sampai Welly lewat petang semalam ....setelah lebih 24 jam perjalanan dari KL- Melbourne-Auckland- Welly .......yes, i do feel sad masa mengenangkan budak2 yang aku tinggalkan ...mengenangkan my parents yang semakin tua di sana and betapa aku jauh di sini ...tapi aku dah buat commitment ..and I know I will do it till the end ...so, walaupun cuma balik 3.5 weeks aja, aku tetap bersyukur dapat jumpa family and my close friends ....now, it is back to work...back to my Welly routine ...tapi ingat nak kurangkan party lah (hehehe sedar diri sket dah nie) and focus pada kerja ..sebab nak balik cepat ...anyway, kali ni kurang kesedihan coz I know what to expect ...kalau aritu all i can think of is how am i gonna cope without the boys ...can I adapt to life in Welly ...aku tak kenal sapa2 ...but now, I rasa cam balik pun macam balik rumah sendiri ...so hopefully my level of homesickness akan berkurangan lah ....

tapi dalam pada 25 hari meninggalkan bumi Welly ini, macam2 terjadi di sini ...gempa bumi yang kuat berlaku berturut2 ...paling terus was on Sunday 21st ari tu ...my friends always update me with what happenned kat sini ...selepas a few gempa bumi yang kuat (kalau more than 5.0 on the ricther scale kira kuat) gegaran susualan yang kecik pun byk sangat ...bak kata dorang (and in the news as well) every few minutes ada gempa susulan ....but dah reda the last few days ...sebab kalu masih tak reda, aku ingat nak delay kan kepulangan aku by a few weeks ....since everything is back to normal, so I went back as scheduled on 30th July from KL

Aku bersyukur yang aku tidak berada di sini when it happens ...and aku bersyukur all my friends are safe ...cuma ada yang trauma saja ....and aku juga sangat2 bersyukur sebab rumah kontena aku yang selalu aku cemuh tu merupakan bangunan yang structurally sound! gempa yang kuat ari tu cuma window ajer cracked sket ...the rest still mcm biasa ..and the structural engineers dah checked and semua masih teguh dan selamat untuk didiami ......masa aku balik semalam, i was so worried takut2 kalau bilik aku serabut..cermin pecah etc ..tapi alhamdullilah, semua nya intact ...just as I left it ....cuma botol hand lotion aku terpelanting dari side table jatuh ke tengah2 bilik ..same with my botol bedak ...and kat meja study tu, my books semua tumbang and pens bertaburan ...apart from that eveything else is as i left them ....

and same with my office ...nothing was out of place ....aku punyalah risau kot2 buku berteraburan kat lantai semua tu ....cuma ada kesan clar gegaran made by my mug atas permukaan meja ajer to prove that earthquake hit this place ....

untuk pengetahuan, kebanyakkan rumah di Welly nie memang siesmic strengthen ...sebab people are aware that betul2 di bawah Welly nie ada quake fault line ...which I DID NOT KNOW BEFORE THIS!!!! opis aku baru2 nie memang telah distrengthen to deal with quake ..in fact kerja2 tu siap juat 2 weeks sebelum aku balik malaysia ....such a great timing ...

anyway, i thought semua tu ok le kan ...no more news about quakes or its aftershock ...hahahaha i was wrong! Pagi tadi aku bangun kol 10.30 ...siap mandi semua dok living room sembang2 ngan maryam ...and suddenly the building just sway from side to side ..aku melompat ..maryam pun melompat shouting quakes ...but it lasted only a few seconds ....then the aftershock happens not long after than ....weaker and also just seconds .....memang aku terkejut badak ...and bila check news update ...the first quake tadi memang agak strong ...now I am determined to get my emergency pack ready ....bak kata my dad ..prepare lah apa yang patut ...esp travel document, ubat asthma aku and make sure ada copy of my work saved in multiple places ....scary siotttt ...my friend commented that kepulangan aku ke Welly disambut dengan gempa!

and as a conclusion ...tak de lah aku nak retire kat sini hahaha akan kembali ke bumi Malaysia ajer ...
