it must have been a case of lack of sleep and under stress. i couldnt think right nor speak what i have in mind. and these are the unfortunate events that took place during the day....
scenario 1 - at a kiddy clothes shop
....was looking around for a suitable welcome gift for 2 colleagues' newborns. couldnt find a matching socks and thus, i seek the sales assistant's help who was then manning the cashier counter.
me: excuse me. do you have sacks (sounded like sex to her)?
her: huh? SEX?! *eyebrows raised*
me: oops! no i meant socks *blushing*
her: oh! we dont have much....right over there in the basket.
me: thanks! (without any apology cos i was too stunned!!!)
......looked over the basket and found the socks undesirable but no choice, embarrased by the slip of the tongue, i just grab two pairs which were selling 2 for $5 and quickly pay for my purchases. couldnt bear to raise my head and have an eye contact and i was like running to the exit.
DAMN!
scenario 2: at home.
i couldnt help but share the afternoon's incident with hubby while we were watching tv. lil nks was cruising around the living room then.
me: D, do you wanna hear an embarassing incident that happened this afternoon?
dh: what?
me: you see....i was shopping at ********* shop, looking for baby gift.
dh: then?
me: so i was looking for socks to pair up with the clothes i bought.
dh: then?
me: couldnt find and ask the sales assistant for help. u know what?
dh: what?
me: instead of asking for socks i mispronounced the word and it sounded like sex to the lady. socks = sacks.
dh: *burst into a loud laughter*
me: yeah i know you gonna laugh but it's not funny hokay. the lady must have thought im a sex maniac!
dh: what were you thinking?
me: many things but definitely not sex. *sulked*
....right after that, i caught sight of lil nks whom was about to lost her balance and i shouted over to her
me: bah-bee!! (i was thinking of baby..REALLY!!)
dh: WHAT?!?!
me: DAMN! there it goes again....i mean BABY!! BABY!! BABY!!
dh: *laughs*
me: you see what i mean?
this not only the only time i had a slipped of the tongue or whateveryoucalledit. the point is.....it's quite bad that i actually spoofed those negative words to a stranger and to my own baby! luckily my baby didnt quite hear the word or else she'd parrot me (which sheis already doing now). so temporarily, i'm avoiding the shop till the lady has forgotten my face. but then whenever i pass by her shop, i'd see new arrivals, i was tempted to step in and everytime i had to remind me the "sex" incident.....hmpph!

as i type away....im smelling like a yong tau foo soup. sticky and itchy on the skin. a careless and prolly a starving diner walked right through me while i was queueing for my food.
i was very shocked albeit too late to react when i felt a hot splash on my left arm, wetting my sleeve and part of my scarf. wadda ******!! my colleague commented that the woman was walking very fast when she saw her from afar and did not watch where she was really going, thus the collision.
damn! for that i lost my appetite and walked away from the q.
the woman just let out a "Ouhhhh!!!" yeah right woman! that's all you can do instead of pushing away the tray from me. dammit!
she didnt even say sorry and hurriedly walk to her table....the nerve!
sigh....sigh....sigh
there's a red patch on my arm from the hot soup. had it washed with water and still smelling a little like yong tau foo.
i was already sulking at work and that woman ruined it further......thank you!
FEDUP ahhhh!!!
