Embarassing moments June 4, 2009

Most embarrassing moments in my life to date:
1. Still in Primary then. Followed my dad to his friend’s house nearby, decided to excuse myself, find some corner to remove gas in my tummy. Didn’t expect I lost control of my bowels! I ran home without telling my dad. My parents were highly amused by what happened.
2. My favorite teacher said very loudly in class, “You cheated in this test too! Of all people… This is so unbelievable!”
3. A lady walked up to me, started telling me about religion. I didn’t know how to tell her that I’m not interested. I even started to say prayers along with her just so that I can be left alone. And we were standing in the middle of a busy walkway. Those were the days when I didn’t know how to speak up. Those were the days when I still insist on my siblings buying food for me ‘cos I was afraid of strangers.
4. The lift door was about to close and I made a dash for it. I landed on my knees and went sliding into the lift. It’s almost like a grand ice skating finale. J & Vivien were shocked but decent enough not to tease me.
5. Twirled my nephrew on a seat in the computer lab. He rocketed off and hit the floor with such a dazed look on his face. Everyone in the lab stunned. Silence. Then he burst out crying.
6. I stepped into a hole in the grass and sent my nephrew (Yes, same one) flying through the air while running towards Vivien. Shocked Vivien so much that till this day, she still continues to tell the stories over and over again.
7. “Prof Pung!” Vivien ran towards the labs. I ran across some shrubs and hid behind some trees. The thing was they were palm trees. It’s ok. If I didn’t see him, he didn’t see me either!
8. I didn’t zip up after going to the toilet. And I squat down in front of two bosses while they were seated at their cubicles to discuss things with them. Till this day, I still wonder whether they realized what they were seeing or they were too engrossed in the discussion to know.
9. Falling in my 3.5 inch heels and miniskirt in front of a bunch of army guys at the bus stop outside Seletar Camp.
Wow, that’s a long list! Whenever I start thinking about my embarrassing moments, I think — no one but me remembers my embarrassing moments. Like those army guys at Seletar Camp, no one will remember it or that it was you. Unfortunately, this ‘method’ only helps me most times, not all the time
Here’s one for you … when I boarded a double-decker bus, one of my high heel Candies flew off half way down the bus. I was the only one to get on at that stop. And it was all silence and stares while I hobbled the half mile to get my shoe. I just kept telling myself “just suck it up, just suck it up … it’ll be over soon …” I don’t even remember the bus ride back. But guess what, I finally just threw out that pair of shoes a couple months ago! Maybe that will help the memory fade!
