It may be exciting for the first time to experience something new, but keep in mind you got lucky. If it had been a much larger one, your whole house could have collapsed on you. Remember your safety first and get everyone outside safely, away from any trees, buildings, or power lines.
As for it happening there, of all places, it's rare there because the tectonic plates often don't have large collisions in that side of the world, so the activity for earthquakes that you can actually feel are much less common than where I live, which is California. Ironically, California has the San Andreas Fault, (and the name in itself can be seen as a pun to this community, thanks to GTA), yet I've never felt a single earthquake, and that area is the most earthquake-ridden in the world. As far as I know, when I was younger, I slept through a very, very small earthquake one night, and I'm a very light sleeper. Since then I've heard no reports of any in my area, which is very lucky for me because I've lived in both Northern and Southern California.
