Default Cracks in my condo unit!

After the big quake (and tsunami) off Sumatra, I noticed a 5.5 ft (1.8m) long crack in the ceiling over my bed.

And today, I just found a 6-7 feet (2-2.5m) long crack in the kitchen ceiling!

It wasn't there during the big quake, so it must have been the result of the last (smaller) quake off Sumatra.

I will try to get some pictures tomorrow. But man, this is rather troubling...

My condominium only has 9 floors and my unit is only on the 3rd floor. I can only imagine the damage on the upper levels.

Well, I hope not. Maybe Melaka is more affected by the earthquake, compared to elsewhere in Malaysia... because during the last earthquake, it was really noticeable here, but Chai over in KL didn't even feel it.

Most of the condominiums and high-rise buildings in Malaysia, completed or under construction, are not built to withstand such shocks. So, it's really no surprise to see cracks in my condo unit.

Well, you gotta look with the lights off. It's hard to see them with the ceiling lights on.

That's the reason why I didn't notice the kitchen crack earlier. My condo's kitchen does not have any natural light filtering in, so I always turn on the kitchen lights.

Don't forget, Chai is sitting on a raised platform so the shock could have already been absorbed by the platform construction.
