Mall Trip Gone Wrong (I Shit Myself)

I had myself 2 sandwiches early in the day thinking I'd better eat more 'coz I don't wanna be hungry exploring the city. There isn't anything fancy inside those buns - just poached eggs, slices of spam, generous amount of bread spread then sprinkled with a bit of pepper. Yep, no veggies nor cheese even! That's just how I wanted it that morning and had to catch a cab before the traffic hours. Can't drive there myself 'coz the car can't be on the road on Thursdays due to the number coding scheme.

So I rushed out of the house after my breakfast, grabbed a cab and arrived at the city mall at half-past 10 am. I went straight to the department store and explored the aisles for something interesting. I had a good time mesmerizing upon these displays of local products and debating with myself whether or not to take home a set of those locally-made kitchen wares. "Later," I thought as I moved on to the next racks, combing on their contents.

Then I came across the dried mangoes which I wasn't able to resist. I picked a box without thinking much and went to the cashier. I want to nibble on them first before I go on with the shopping. It's been years since I last had these 7D mangoes and I was already salivating. So I headed up to the Sky Garden right after paying.

I sat on the grass and snacked on the mangoes until there was no more. Can't believe it either, but they are just so tasty and delicious.

"I should have bought two," I mumbled while getting up with the thought of going back to buy another. But on my way, I noticed the Wing Zone and the aroma made me invite myself for a serving of spicy chicken wings. My appetite had been awakened and you won't believe it but I've eaten them all too!

I spent a bit more time there to let the food settle. Besides, the weather is fabulous and it was a good chance to enjoy the sunshine out there as well. It was almost mid-day when I decided it was time to move and carry on with the day's plans when while walking along the terrace, I felt a sudden contraction in my stomach which had grown goosebumps all over my body and then whoosh!

My mind went blank for a second but realized soon enough something really sh*tty just happened. I frantically looked around and was just thankful that there weren't anyone else there. I sighted the water delivery guy far ahead and a plan immediately came to mind. I quickly wrapped my cardigan around my waist, put on my face mask and sprayed a bit more perfume all over me, then ran toward the guy for a once-in-a-lifetime negotiation.

He said yes without much hesitation and with a wide grin on his face, he took some of the water gallons away then motioned me to hop onto the trolley. My mind was so busy thinking that before I knew it, we were already out the mall and he was whisking me towards the lodging house some 50 meters away. On arriving there, he went to the counter and booked a room as I waited by the hall.

I was in the shower in no time after paying the guy a generous sum which made him whistle as he strode away from the hallway.

The husband could not stop laughing after he arrived an hour later. I had to call him to bring me some clothes telling him there had been an emergency. "Did the guy saw your face?" he even asked. "Nope, I never took my face mask off!" I was laughing hard too because I could not believe having such an embarrassing experience.

I blamed the sandwich, the mango and the wings! Most of all, I blamed myself for not exercising self-constraint and allowing my cravings to win against my reasons.

This is my response to the 6th topic on Galen's Weekend Engagement Writing Suggestions, re:

You have caught public transport to the city, alone, for a day of shopping but half way through the day you shit your pants really badly. How do you handle the situation? Write a post of at least 300 words. Make sure you title your post, I shit myself.

Did this thing really happen? I'll leave you to answer that yourself, lol!

Thank you and have a joyful weekend!
