It was Sunday morning December 26th 2004. The day that I would
never forget forever. We went to the beach in Meulaboh, Aceh. Many people were
there when I arrived.
When we were enjoying the beautiful sunrise, suddenly we were
shocked by a violent shake in the ground. Everybody in the beach was panic. We
soon realized that it was a very big earthquake although it struck in a very
short period of time.
After that, we saw the water going on into the middle of the
sea. No wonder if there were many kinds of fish left behind on the sand. We all
seemed to be astonished by the view until we realized that there was a huge wave
coming towards us and destroying everything in its way.
I didn’t realize what had happened until I found myself
hanging on a branch of a tree.
