Clumsy's my middle name

I’m an extremely clumsy person. A day would not pass without me having to scrub either my t-shirt, the carpet, or my bed sheet courtesy of accidental tragedies disguised as ketchups, drinks, oil, chili paste (this was yesterday by the way), and so on. It gets frustrating all the time- and not to mention physically tormenting. Something must be curiously wrong with the muscles of my fingers!

As an extra precaution, I feel the need to reiterate my warning a long, long time ago in one of my entries: do not ever think of employing me as your maid- I will burn your house down. A bit of an exaggeration there, you think?? Think again ;) But don’t worry, that’s about the worst thing that could happen within the sound scope of my logical reasoning--> which isn’t that reliable actually, so, well… Whatever catches your wildest imagination, then. Teehee.

The sun has been grinning non-stop these days, but the wind refuses to give up either. I’m perfectly sitting on the fence in this matter- good fight, guys =)

Remember Sopi the Sloppy phrase given by Kenakelayan's dad to you? And that was when you were very very small. He must have already seen the sloppiness in you then, :))

You must learn to do things coordinatedly and smoothly.

Really? My dad said that? Heheheh.

I remember when I first wore the hijab to school. I had kuey teow with lots and lots of sambal during recess. Guess where most of the sambal ended up. The wind, I think, was also partly to blame (hehehe).

So you had sambal-stained hijab on, kenakelayan? Dont worry, I'm sure it was the wind.

As for you iFos, too bad the series FRIENDS has ended. I'm pretty sure you would have fit in nicely as one of the cast. ;))

iFos and Kenakelayan, let's BLAME it on the wind, shall we?

Yeah, same here, though I don't think I usually spill food -- it's more like dropping objects, and banging my head on things... I've once banged my whole forehead onto a glass door, my mother's office's door. We were heading home, all the inside lights were turned off and how was I supposed to see the door my mother was holding open? -_-; They should put stickers on that door too, like the glass doors at shopping centres.

i like the wind-although dust sometimes gets into my eyes.
i like the sunshine too- but i have doubts when i'm hot n sweaty in the mashrutka..
overall..i guess i like the weather too..hehe
hmmm about the weather,
did u notice the eclipse in russia today?

Mama Pongkey said...

Yes I did Inositol, dah lah prefect. Ahaks.

Yes it was definitely the wind. Not me hurriedly slurping up my meal because I had to do toilet duty (urgh!)

I totally forgot about the eclipse today :(

ifos said...

Mak- heheh... I believe I got this streak somewhere within the genes inherited from you and abah... ;p

Kenakelayan- my schooldays were richly filled with those kind of accidents too.. hmm... suddenly missing school very much..

Inositol- yeah well, I guess I would be the klutzy rachel, then? ;)

Pycnogenol- ditto!

Neemo- Me too... don't like the dust though =)

Aneesah- Hahaha, tell me bout it... I once (or maybe more than once) walked straight into a fire-extinguisher case in our local mosque head on... ALWAYS tersepak the table on my way out of the room, and God knows how many times I've sprained my ankles falling off the stairs... I'm a danger to civilisation, really.

Outsider- I was really bummed to miss the eclipse- terlantar di atas katil all day due to a nasty fever, sore throat, coughing, etc... noticed the sky tetibe gelap but that's about it U_U

BTW, you're a fellow 'Russian' then... sape ye?!

dith said...

eclipse? what eclipse? hehe *drroza always misses the extraterrastial happenings of the world*

Streak genes? meaning mutated genes? So you mean to say you are the abnormal one? hehe

Have it ever occur to you that:

your mind plan to do something with perfection and while executing it, something distract you and you start to loose focus. It can be something visible or just a thought. Or, while excecuting it, your mind start thinking what to do next.

This is how the problem starts. You are deep in your thoughts and become unaware of the surroundings.You are detached from the environment, too engrossed of another perfect plan.

Does it happened that way to you? I guess so.

Seems like you could be the perfect subject for Murphy's Law! j/k

This reminds me of the time when I spilt sambal tumis on the room carpet, I proceeded to pour water on it and attempted to rub the stain off. Which of course, made things even worse. And accompanied with exclamations of disbelief from my roommates ;) I know better now.

ifos said...

Mak- I wouldn't say abnormal. I'd say... special. Hahahaha...

Ikelah- Haha kire boleh la tu (tokleh ckp 'tepat sekali' kang riak lelebih plak encik ni. hehe)... but there's another case factor: when my enthusiasm in doing something gets the better of me and I tend to 'overdo' things. Well.

Neemo- Thanks!

Outsider- Eeh... ade clue ke?? betapa blurnya aku... anyhow thanks!

Crimsonskye- LOL =D

It can be something visible( like a good macro lens for example) or just a thought (A good polar filter might do). Or, while excecuting it, your mind start thinking what to do next ( This can be a D70s or Canon 20D).

DITH, get a hint - NEVER leave her alone in the house!
