Eh, is there an earthquake near Singapore?

I just felt the ground move under me and my office is on the ground floor, mind you. I felt so giddy for a moment (for quite a long moment). Thought I was having inner ear problems again. Got up, went outside to take a look but nothing out of the ordinary. Went back into the office and the door is banging against the door jam. The blinds are swaying. Yikes. Is there an earthquake somewhere? Gotta go home to catch the news! If I don't make it out of here before I finish my work, you know why.

(Note 1 Oct 2009: Yes, in fact, there was an earthquake in Sumatra yesterday evening, measuring 7.6 on the richter scale. It was felt across some parts of Singapore.)
