Me: "Father, its your son here! Wake the fuck up!"

Me: "Earthquake in Sumatra...!"

"...hmm..."

Me: "Felt in Penang! Jeremy called just now. Its pretty bad!"

"What! What! When did this happened!??"

Me: "Half an hour ago...! Tried to wake you all up!"

"When did Jeremy called?"

Me: "Half an hour ago but I phoned him again. The tremors were so strong he was thrown off his bloody bed! And his apartment's bathroom collapsed!"

"Oh...! I will call tomorrow morni..."

Me: "Tsunami alert issued as well...Its on BBC World!"

"His apartment is not near the coast...don't worry...go back to sleep!"

Me: "...!"

Oblivious to the fact that the high rise apartment that my younger brother is staying could have suffered structural damage he and my mum went back to bed...sigh...
