when we thought..

was feeding Eili dinner at around 8.30pm when i heard a loud popping sound, almost similiar to someone lighting a firecracker. I was wondering why is the sound so loud and yet near to where i'm sitting. Seconds later i saw a whole row of my hall tiles popped up and cracked.

Hub's 1st reaction is "could it be another earthquake from indonesia??" and we left our house immediately for safety, just in case. We went to our neighbour's house and asked if they felt any tremors or any problems with their tiles. They didn't feel any tremors and their tiles are ok.

Apparently, there's no earthquake in our neighbouring country and problem could lie with our flooring. Weird thing is we have stayed in our flat for 4 years already and no such incident had happen before!

Our neighbour helped us to contact the HDB personnel and they'll come to our house tomorrow to investigate the cause. My question is : could it be the cause of poor workmanship or the contraction of the tiles since the weather has turned cold?? FYI My unit is facing the open sea. Whatever the cause is, we are going to be houseless for at least a week as the contractor will need to hack the tiles for the hall and put in new tiles - FOC of course!! Which means i have to pack a big luggage with eili's uniforms and my working clothings!!

But who is going to pay for my inconveniences like putting up at my sister's and sending Eili to school and going to work for at least 5 days? DAMN SUAY AH!!!
