clumsiness

I did 2 clumsiness today....

and it brought back lots of my memories of clumsiness that I can remember throughout the span of my 27 years (and counting)



When I was 3, I climb up the window and fell, hard! My hit the edge of a table, and it cause a deep cut exactly next to my left eye. I was bleeding badly I guess, coz I totally couldn't remember what happen next. I think it was too traumatising that my brain choose not to remember. Coz I remember the part when I climb up the window. What happen next ? I don't know :) Anyway : my eyes degree is 1250 now.. so pls take extra careful of your children in the future okay ?


Then I used to watch Sound of music. After that I will follow the scene in the sound of music, by going up the stairs in my grandmom's old home...sing2 all the way up...till I finally really fallen asleep at the attic !!

When I was 5/6...again can't remember, I played w/ a metal hook. I stuck the hook into Electricity power plug. Keep pushing it inward, guess what happen next ? Electroduted lah. Since I was just 5, I couldn't scream for help. My body was shaking badly, and I was again, in shock condition, what happen ? My mom saw me, shout and run towards me, pulling me out, and.... guess what ? She also kena electrocuted. So another Auntie run and pull us both. Then, off course like any other 5 years old kid, I cried out loud. This one I remembered well, coz I was crying ssssooooo long and sssoooo louddd.... and still get a llloonnggg and good scolding from my mother coz I think she also got too shock. She actually has warned me and my cuz many2 time, that the uniquely shaped power plug is not for us to play with. Tapi namanya jg bandel, yah tetep main lah bombie :D heheheeh. The next thing I know, the power plug there was taken off completely. hahahaha :)

Then when I was around 8/9, me, my cousins and my grandmom were all eating at KFC di Pasar Baru. U knoe Indo's KFC always have this bars that keep you in line for you to queue? I was done with my lunch and had nothing to do, so I sit on the lower bar. They have 2 level. I put my butt on the lower bar, then my head on the higher bar. Play play play play, swing here swing there until, I fell. Nicely, my head hit the floor hard and I saw everything tebalik, while my butt still stick on the lower bar, kayak posisi kayang. Shock again off course. Very2 painful I still remember it till now. If I can I will start crying like any other girl would do. I didn't. I quickly get up w/ whatever remaining power that I have, look at my grandmom and my cousins to see if any of them realized what have happened. They didn't see at all. So I kept quiet coz I know if I cried, I will be scolded again. Coz it's my fault mah, who ask me to play there ? No one but me. I withstand the pain. Very painfull leh!

And thank God, really no one realize what happen. Just me feeling scarred that I will be a little bit more idiot coz of the side effect :P Puji Tuhan udah lulus kuliah sekarang :)

Next, when I was 12, I fell in my first monkey love. He was my friend from jemputan sekolah. Namanya ? Ada deh...

Anyway, one day I saw him going up to second floor, and I saw no one else at the stairs. So, I run to catch his steps before I loose him from my sight. Since biasanya kita sering berantem, I know that if he see me he will start a small fight w/ me again, and off course diajak berantem sama ur monkey love, u would like it right ? *aneh ya kita semua ?* Anyway, I run to the stairs. I was quite hesitant though, nongol atau ga yah ? If he see me admiring him from behind, nanti bukannya berantem kecil yg kejadian, ada jg dia freak out dong ?

Ogah ah. So, I tried to keep my pace from him but trying to catch his steps too. But dasar jarang olah raga, pas udah ampir deket banget, kesengkat lah gua dengan tepat jatoh ampir hantem dia dari belakang. And off course, dari ga sadar dia akan kehadiran gua, sampe super sadar banget kali kok ada bomb jatoh di belakang gua ? Nengoklah dia, and gua berada dalam posisi kayak memohon sama dia. Yucks, everytime I remember this, pengen bunuh diri rasanya! I think this is still my most embarassing moment in my life !

Apa yg terjadi selanjutnya ? Yah jelas lah yah he walked away (ga kaya di felem2 atau komik gua dibantu berdiri gitu...kagak ada deh), and a 12 year old bombie terluka dengan sangat dalamnya disana. hohoho...Next thing I did, I run to toilet, cried and cried, then avoid to have a contact w/ him in jemputan.

Terus.... teens and all then, life agak normal2 aja. Paling ada jatoh sekali dua kali, sampe harus diurut si mbok 3 kali, tepat di pantat gua.. Coz itu jatohnya tepat ke tulang ekornya bok. Puji Tuhan lagi masih idup and bisa memandang dengan jelas dunia yg masih cukup indah ini. Tapi waktu itu seh .....udah malu, sakit pula, pas diurut teriak2 ampe tetangga bingung. Hohoho...ga ada 2 kali deh....

Then waktu kuliah, sebelon ninggalin Singapore, I manage to patahin senderan tangan di bangku kayu senat yg baru aja diganti, juz becoz I need to write something on the whiteboard, on the top part. Mengira diri enteng, naiklah daku. And not long after that, pyak! Sukses, patah !! horeeee :P When I left Singapore, they only remember the chair that I spoilt.

Then wkt udah di Singapore, I came back and join Senat ppl to go to Puncak. Kita ke, Kota Bunga, main kebut2an, then foto2. Nah pas foto, sekali lagi I stand on the wooden bar. Dan, sekali lagi, patah lagi itu pagar kayu. This time I kept quiet sampe ada temen yg nanya lagi, wah kok patah ? Gua angkat tangan, en kita semua rame2 angkat kaki dari sana ninggalin barang bukti. hoohhoohoh

Fast forward, I did not do much clumsiness when I was at NUS *kayaknya* heheheh :) Paling cuman sekali jatoh di Clementi with dari tangga with belanjaan full di tangan and ngejar bus after that :P

But when I start to work, ultimate !!!

Pertama, semua pasti udah tau incident shawl hitam gua. I was photocopying while adjusting my shawl position and the next thing I now, my black shawl went straight into the shredder. I screamed and tried to press the off button, only to press the fast forward. Gua terikat dengan kenceng sama si shawl, sambil teriak2 kecil berusaha matiin, then my collegue saw me and bukannya bantuin, malah ketawain and called others to watch together!!! dasar dah dia.... anyway again, I'm saved and alive till today. On Christmas day that year, I received a black shawl, from that collegue who laugh the loudest at me.

Also on the first year. Chye Soon, my boss then, wanted to borrow staplets from me. I stand up, pull out my drawer, and planned to sit after that as the drawer was too low. Just when I was about to sit, Chye Soon thought that I need space to pull out that long drawer, so he pull out my chair and ....I landed on the land called carpet and made a beautifull sound of "GUBRAX" followed with Chye Soon screaming " Oh my God....Melissa... oh goodness...are you okay?" I thot it's fine and nothing much to be too panick except the fact that maybe cao keng (ngongkong) dikit...kan pake rok....

But to my horror, a lot of ppl standing up and run to my cubicles to check wads that beautiful GUBRAX sound and they saw Chye Soon and me on the floor :P
On the afternoon the same day, Cheryl dropped 1 pack of A4 paper. Ppl stand up and quickly ask : Melissa fall again ?

Also on my first year, it was audit year. 1 funny caller, called my phone asking for document. Being new, I thought it was auditor so I ask my bosses where can I find that document, auditors want it. My Boss tell the bigger boss and both of them, chickened out.

When they finally checked, the one who called is not auditor, I get a meaningful look from both my Bosses. Not angry, but not funny also. My name immediately rise up to surface again. The girl that caused another commosion....

Some tips, if you cant get recognized for your hard work... get recognized for sth else more extreme:P... hehehheheh *ikutin saran ini at your own risk. Can result in an adverse way... bisa jadi dipecat...so pls... hati2 menggunakan saran ini*

Then, many times daku ketiduran di bus sampe dibangunin sama uncle yg udah hafal my position. And the way he wake me up is not those kind gentle2 one. He screamed and shake me w/ full power " missss...Clementi !!! Go down ah miss"... Aiyoh... I tried to avoid him next time but cannot, always same bus.



Then in mrt, another uncle wake me up at raffless, telling me " miss, raffless.." I took 3 seconds to fully realized what he was saying, and manage to just run off before the door closed.

Also, many times I run towards the door thinking that it's raffless when it was : tanjong pagar. Just when I almost step out, I realized I got it wrong, I stopped, turn back to my seat, sleep again (every minute is important) and then wake up at raffless. Part of the sleeping is done to avoid ppl looking and laughing at me.



Then, I always sleep walked to office. So, it is common that, I hit walls when I slept, almost fell off escalator, almost ran off by a car, and etc.

So what did I do again this time ?
On Thursday nite July 31 we went cruise to nowhere with Team A. The next day, we went back to office straight away so everyone is in zombie mode. At 4.30 PM there was a briefing at the townhall. My friend ask me to accompany her to receive her award. I had to go as she's my kid :P Anyway I want to go...very proud and happy of her. My 2 kids get the award so I want to go too anyway...

Then per normal, she rushed me. Being the Miss slow : I quickly packed2 everything till a point where I want to keep my Pen holders, accidentally: Pyang... all my pens and pen holder fly everywhere. Everyone's looking, I stoned for a moment, then start picking my pens up. My friend quickly helped me after stoning together w/ me.

Just as I finish packing up, and about to go up to townhall, I bring w/ me my juice that I had bought earlier. Then, I tripped over the ribbon on my sandals, and quickly adjust to it, so if it's filmed, it's abit like break dance ga jelas. I stabilized but my juice falls and ....tada....mengalirlah my orange-pineaple ke atas carpet and the sound of my tripping has again... caused ppl to wonder and asked : Mel...are u okay ? U tired after the cruise issit ?

If only they knew.... it's just bits and pieces of my life...
My clumsiness.....always get my mom and dad worries bout me... esp sleepwalking part...

but niwei... I'm alive :)
