my lovely (rumbling) pit of a stomach

my stomach's seriously a big whiner. it loves to eat. and rumbles when there's no food.

not that i mind (if i'm alone). but i absolutely detest it when it starts rumbling at crucial and painfully embarrassing moments. happened lotsa times.. dun we all remember our tummies doing that...

so today, i was at the HQ sitting in the interview panel (acting out a transcriber role only la) for more than 4 hours.. was almost 1pm when i felt the all too familiar hunger pangs (usual lunch time is 12 odd!!).. and i knew that if the pangs go on for another like 10, 15 mins... the rumblings will soon follow!

but it didn't la. thank gawd.

the interview sessions ended soon there and then.

but i can't imagine how it would be like, to be in that small interview room of 5 pple, halfway thru a solemn interview, if my tummy started acting up, and fired like some machine gun.

what could i have done?

1) continue writing furiously, pretending that i didn't hear loud machine gun sounds

2) say "oops, sorry, hehehe" (like how a cute pri 2 boy did to me when he farted in the middle of my assessment)

3) look around at the interviewers to imply that the sounds emitted from one of them (and pretend to look slightly disgusted)

4) make a lousy joke about it.. "wah so late already ah.. lunchtime.. hehehe"

seriously, i dun ever wanna go thru any of these steps!

utter embarrassment!!

and tmr i'm going thru another of this interview session. just praying hard that my really lovely pit of a stomach would not act up like this tmr, and for the rest of my meetings/interviews/assessments/workshops/presentations etc etc that are to come!
