Ouch! So embarrassing!

Leah tagged me on my embarrassing moments a while ago. I’m sorry I took so long, Leah but honestly, although I must have many embarrassing moments, its all slipped my mind. I think its the power of the mind to file away all memories you wish to forget I guess, and to store it away in the dusty attics of your mind.

But while racking my brains, and after reading Leah’s post, I remembered an incident which was both extremely painful and embarrassing.

I was in a crowded place, walking past a little mamak stall, and was carrying some documents to my car while walking behind my colleague. We had to cross over a tiny little drain which had a piece of wood covering the top.

I’m not sure what happened next, but one minute I was walking across that tiny little drain, and the next minute, I was sprawled on the floor, documents spread all over the ground, and bleeding from my knees. There was a stunned silence and then some kind people came over to help me collect my documents and to enquire if I was alright. My knees were skinned and bruised and so was my chin. I was wiping up blood and I just sat on the floor stunned.

It did not occur to me to be embarrassed until later when I realised I’d torn my skirt in the process. The bruises went away after a while, but till today, my knee is a bit funny. I can’t put too much pressure on it and its been more than 5 years. So, I suppose it was pretty embarrassing, but it was more painful than anything else.

Would you like to share your embarrassing moments?
