Little Miss Clumsy



I am clumsy.

I have always been clumsy. I fall into drains or trip over myself all the time when I was young. I remember a significant incident involving me watching TV while holding a sugar bowl intending to walk into the kitchen (with my eyes still on the TV) and I tripped over the stairs walking backwards and Piang!!!!

Sidenote: I once put sugar in a plastic bag and deliberately left it on the floor in a bid to catch some ants at home to find out their hiding places. Mum said: You don't do that! And after a long while no ants came. I was puzzled why ants don't want to eat those sugar grains. I am still puzzled.

Anyway today there were 3 incidents!

#1: I was walking to school for training. I almost sprained my ankle because somehow I misjudged a step down. There was a loud loud loud sound because I stomped my other foot to balance myself. I felt soooooo embarrased and thought it to be so comical I laughed at myself while walking away quickly.

#2: I was walking up the steps of an overhead bridge to J8 with V. Another "somehoww I misjudged a step" up and I fell forwards, luckily I stuck my hand out to support me but it was a fall nevertheless. Shocked some people in front of me WHOOPS A DAISY!

#3: I name this, the spectacular act by Stupid. Was trying to paint my toenails in my parents' room while watching TV but I thought it so clever of me doing it during adverts because I won't do a good job while watching the show. Anyway after 1 hour I only got one toenail done.

It's a really tough job, and I need to protect my nails from the volleyball shoe scrapings. My parents invaded the room and I had to go back to my own so I carried everything, the nail polish removal, base coat, nail polish back to my room.

Beforeeee I could even place it down a table or something...

PIAAAAAAANGGGGGGGGGGGGG!

Dropped the midnight blue (a blue very close to black) nail polish and spilt it. All on the floor, on my legs, on my hands AH disaster. It was a new bottle. A few hours old ):

So, it took a combined effort of 3 bottles of nail polish removal (Green bottle's the best brand), 3 people (Me, my maid and Mumsie) and half an hour to get it all off. We threw away 2 towels and used up 10 pieces of cotton wool for my legs and hands.

Was gasping for air the smell was soooooo overpowering. I felt so stupid because I didn't cap the nail polish properly that's why it dropped and spilt.

After a few hours, I still only have one toenail painted. I feel so tired and after coming into contact with almost the whole bottle of nail polish, I hardly have the mood.

But I think it's sooooo comical! (AND STUPID!)

Mum: You're still so clumsy. Since young so clumsy.
Me: *Laughing at my stupidity* But I learn from my mistakes!
Mum: Yeah, sure.
