TOTAL EMBARASSMENT
Wednesday, December 17, 2008 ? 0 Atashinchi ?
Ok I just went through this horribly terribly mortifyingly embarassing incident. It started off with my dad going swimming and me needing to go out to meet my mum. So I had to go find him and pass him the house keys. Unfortunately I looked for him in all the pools, including the 2/3 olympic size pool, big weird-shaped pool, plus the 3 jacuzzi pools (i only left out the children's fun pool), and HE WAS NOT THERE! So i looked through these places another time, then another time, and I even went to look whether he was trapped under my condo block! And all those people sitting around the pool or exercising in the gym were looking at me weirdly cos I kept hanging around in this suspicious manner.And then I was staring at this guy swimming in the big weird-shaped pool, cos he was the only one who could possibly be my dad. (At this kind of timing on weekdays the swimmers are usually mostly kiddies and moms.) So I kind of kept staring at him, then after a while he even stared back. But I decided it probably was not my dad, cos 1. my dad is fatter (even though it is a bit hard to tell with the guy in the water) and 2. i dont' recognise that guy's goggles. In the end I was resigned to the conclusion that my dad was probably in the steam room in the MALE TOILET. So i called my mom, and unfortunately she told me to do the exact thing that I was dreading her to tell me to do.
THIS IS THE EMBARASSING PART. I went to approach this little boy standing near me, cos he seemed to be alone and I didn't want to make too much of a scene, to ask him to help me check if there was anyone inside the toilet. And right after I started talking to him this big group of females comprising of two adults and two little girls appeared and joined in the conversation! And they were very helpful and all started giving me suggestions and stuff and accompanied me towards the male toilet. Then the little boy went in and confirmed that there was only 1 person inside who was in the steam room. And one of the ladies encouraged me to go in and check if it was my dad, which i actually did cos i was so seriously confused! Luckily i recognised that those were my dad's clothes and slippers so it was slightly less mortifying. IMAGINE IF IT WAS SOME RANDOM GUY!!!! But anyway yeah i knocked on the door of the steam room and looked away just in case, erm, something, you know. Then when my dad opened the door i was already so embarassed that i just gave him the keys, the magnetic card thing, and walked out of the toilet. Then i had to say thank you and smile and everything to the large group of people outside, all the while simply wanting to dig a hole in the floor and bury myself. GRRRRRR!!!!!!!
And you know what the worse part is? Once I got on the MRT, my mum called me and told me that the thing which i was meeting her for was cancelled. And she told me to go home. -_- So i idiotically took the MRT for one stop, then got off, took the train on the other side for one stop, and went home! Plus when I was going home I walked till I was but 2 metres away from the side door of my condo, and I realised that i already gave me card thingy to my dad, so i had to walk all the way to the front entrance of my condo to go in. It's like CAN THIS DAY GET ANY MORE STUPID?
Grrr some more when i got to my block and pressed the bell my dad didn't answer cos he was taking a shower, and luckily there was someone else going in who opened the door for me. -_- When he opened the door at last I gave him my diao-est expression cos I was so seriously pissed off at everything. And if my mom had called me to tell me that the thing was cancelled just 15 minutes earlier, then all these tomfoolery WOULD NOT HAVE OCCURRED!!!!!!! And i would not be sitting here in front of the com reliving the whole incident again, and still DYING from the extreme mortification. Oh and when I called my mom to tell her that I found my dad, she was telling me that it was stupid of me to actually go into the toilet, but seriously I was suffering from acute confusion of the brain so I couldn't really help doing all the really foolish stuff! I just wanted the whole thing to be over as soon as possible before I made an even bigger moron of myself, and obviously not succeeding. *rolls eyes*
THE END. And i hope that in the future i will not blog about such an annoying incident EVER AGAIN.
