Embarrassed Me

Oh shoot... i forgot to bring my compositions... :( Oh well, i still have 35 days to go!! I feel like writing about some embarrassing moments of my life. Here goes...

1. I was walking through cck bus interchange with a box of 300pcs 3D Globe puzzle in my hand. A busy place indeed. Well, guess what happened? That box of puzzle slipped out of my hand and all 300pcs dropped to the floor. I spilled the Globe. Earth was shattered for a moment. I was in a nightmare. Right in the middle of the interchange. Muttered,'Fuck...' Bent down, red-faced and picked it all up. By myself. (Ok...This girl who was sitting infront helped me too.)

2. Both of us were in our lovely dresses. We were at Raffles Hotel, Jubilee Theatre, to attend our school's 'Music & Drama Night'. I must say we were the best-dressed among all the other students. After the show, we walked towards the toilet. But then the unfortunate had to happen. The laces on my boots got tangled and i fell, 'BAM!', on my knees, pulling my friend down with me. And we weren't even close to the toilet yet. We fell near the stairs. Well, I FELL near the stairs. Got up, trembling with embarrassment and laughter, we ran to the toilet. I looked in the mirror, laughing real hard, all i could see was a silly tomato-faced girl, wearing a nice dress and a pair of bad boots.

3. Still couldn't get over the fact that i fell at Raffles Hotel. Just got out of my parent's car. I was telling them all about my fall. The minute we got out of the car, i decided to show them how my laces got tangled. Both my parents stood infront of me, waiting for my 'performance'. I showed them,'Na punya boots, the right side, kena hooked to the left side...' 'BAM!', I fell again! The same exact fall. A performance of a lifetime. My parents couldn't stop laughing at me and I, I got a bruise on my knee.

4. Sec 1. Rushing to board the bus. This indian man was getting up the bus real slow. I cut him in. I walked infront of him and got on first. My impatience turned to humiliation when i lost my footing and fell on the last step. The edge of the step hit my knee. There i was, fallen, with my heavy school bag. The bus uncle said,'Ah.. Slowly, slowly..' I got up, picked up what's left of my pride, and limped my way to the back of the bus, where my friend was sitting. I sat down, we laughed. I looked at my aching knee, and got the shock of my life. The swelling was SO bad, it looked like i had 2 knees. One on top of the other.

5. Before making our way to the science lab, we took a detour to the toilet. I got in the 2nd cubicle, locked the door. Done with my business, i tried to unlock the door. It wouldn't budge. The lock was jammed. I was trapped in a tiny cubicle. 'Germs... The door cannot open.' Told Germaine to bring me a chair so that i could climb over. A sanitary bin would be good too. Throw me anything but just don't call the servants or tell anyone else that i'm trapped in a dumb cubicle. Wouldn't want the fire department to help me get out. Out of desperation and the skills from NPCC training, i was able to climb over the door by pulling myself up. I squatted at the top of the cubicle wall, Germs was laughing at me, i was laughing at me. I jumped. We were late for class and still laughing.
