Earthquake tremor felt once again!

Wow! yesterday was the second time in 2 weeks we had an earthquake tremor. The magnitude recorded was the same as previous tremor 4.6 on March 6. 

I was having my afternoon nap when it happened. I woke up almost instantly, asking myself what is going on! Next, i saw my fan shaking and the bed vibrating. That moment, i know it was a tremor. I think it lasted for about 30 seconds? Maybe more not too sure, but it lasted for a while. 

According to experts, it might not be the last of the jolt. I hope this series of jolts would not cause problems to building structures. It must be scary for people living in earthquake zones, especially not being able to predict or sense when this would occur. For me, it is a great experience yet scary too!

Oh well! lets hope that the Australian tectonic plate doesn't stress up again!

3rd Anniversary of 'theRubbishbin'

It's been long since the authors [including me myself :)] updated this blog. However, Ah MingHui did put a great effort in updating the blog.  Thanks!!

I finally put some effort to change the blog, welcoming the year 2009 and also celebrating the 3rd Anniversary of this blog founded by Ah MingHui! 

Oh! Do you want to know how this blog was discovered?? Well, it doesn't really have a dramatic history but do read on. Here is a little history of how this blog began. 

It first started out as a "rubbish bin", basically throwing out the feeling of animosity that was gathered while at Uni. Mainly goes to one class in particular, the finance class which the anonymous lecturer is always a pain to majority of the students. Instead of lamenting the frustration and discontent to one another, Ah MingHui decided to express it via writing thus “the rubbish bin” serves as a place to throw away the anger and be done with it.

 Soon after, managing the blog seems to be rather time consuming.  Plus, I wanted to have a blog of my own but couldn’t find the time and commitment to maintain it by myself, so I thought that the 4 best friends could join in this blog and create post every now and then.  We were going our separate ways after we graduated, and I thought one way to keep in touch was through blogging. HHhmm… it doesn’t seem to turn out as I hope to be. J

 Since our Uni life ended, the “rubbish bin” no longer serves the purpose as it was before. The blog now has a new theme, remember that recycling is good for nature. Eh! We’re not activists ok. We’re just supporting recycling cause personally I think we have done enough damages to this wonderful place called earth and has neglected the beauty that mother nature has created for us. That is just my opinion.

I will leave this for other authors to elaborate further. Hahaha… Ah MingHui?? You might wanna explain this cause you brought up this theme anyways. You might have a humorous side of how this theme came about!
