Too cheem. 私の英語は下手ですね。（My English is bad ne.)
Felt gentle swaying lor. Nothing much. My dad & I weren't sure, so we rushed to the toilet to look at the water sitting in pails, which were sloshing gently too. My fren in the East said his blinds were banging against the wall.
As exciting as it can get round this part of the world :)
