Embarassing Moments #20x - Singapore Edition.

You'd think that people would grow out and run out of possible embarassing scenarios as time goes by, but oh no, it is not True.

I said 'Thank you' to a vending machine, in front of a long line of irritated (and hopefully slightly bemused) Singaporeans, when I finally figured out how to get my drink out of the machine.

***********************************************************

And, just now, the phone in the serviced apartment rang, so I chirpily answered, saying,

"American Idol Auditions."

Followed by awkward silence, and a slightly hesitant voice saying,

"Good evening ma'am. Er.... the door to your room is open. The guard was doing his rounds and we'd just like to inform you."

*MAJOR EMBARASSED LAUGH from me*

"Ooer, thanks. It's ok. I've got friends coming up and down so no worries."
(I wonder how much sense that sentence made now that I'm typing it out.

Oh well. Maybe it's the lack of sleep.

Or maybe it's just me.

Til my next encounter. :)
