‘Quake & Awake 30 hours’~“有惊无险30小时

-NZ time 4th Sep 2010 4.35am
~Magnitude 7.4 earthquake hit Christchurch and woke me up from bed in a BBH located in the city centre. The tremor lasted for at least a minute, followed by countless aftershocks where each shaking was far more thrilling than all types of roller-coaster that I have ever tried before! Evacuated out to open-space in dark accompanied by windy and freezing cold weather, all luggage trapped in the room as the whole building was quarantined for further inspection due to the cracks, transferred to another hostel temporarily, without power supply and with limited water supply, without any other clothes except the pyjamas and jacket grabbed along during the evacuation and with the on-and-off aftershocks restricting rest and sleep…all these made up to the ‘Quake & Awake 30 hours’.

~Finally managed to claim back the luggage and left Christchurch, moving towards South which is further from the epicenter. Now I arrive in Oamaru and got access to internet at last.

Hereby I would like to announce to all that I AM SAFE AND SOUND now.
THANK YOU SO MUCH, my dear family and friends for all the concern and care, I truly appreciate it by all my heart.

第五次回到基督城，竟然遇到了大地震，震央只距离这里区区不到30公里！
历经了在基督城的“有惊无险30小时”，
人生的历练又多了那么一个难忘的‘第一次’。
这一次的第一次，还真是轰轰烈烈非常！（轰隆作响激烈得很！)

无论如何，
总算，
我和身边的人现在都安然无恙。
真的非常感谢大家的关心和问候。
让大家操心了。
再次感谢，
依然感恩，
持续祈愿，
希望所有的情况都会好转。
