burst in embarrassment

In the most blur of state, I made a call to someone, when in fact, I had wanted to contact another person! How utterly confused can one be than that? I didn't even realized it until the voice that the other side spoke. When a guy's voice was heard at the other side, I was shocked, totally shocked. It made me looked at the screen. Seeing the number and the dialed person ID only confirmed my blurriness and silliness. I had but wanted to date a girl friend.

In a way, I was lucky since the voice belonged to a male friend, while the person I had intended to call was a girl friend. Shocked as I was, the difference were way too contrasting to enable me to notice right away, and hence, allowed me squirmed my way through the unexpected call. Of course, I employed courtesy, sweetly just striking up a short chatter, and got myself off the red. Fortunately, only I was the sole witness to my embarrassing moment.

I can't imagine what would have happened if the person that I had wanted to call and the person that I did call to, were both of same gender. Worse would be if both people that I seldom spoke to through the phone, hence making me a tad unfamiliar with the voice. The very worst case would when both of them know each other. Imagine, being told, 'jsb izit? this is xxx la, not zzz..you got the wrong person la..'. Major embarrassment!

Funnily, this embarrassing incident which occurred just now, was the first for me. Before, this kind of this did happen, once, if I'm mistaken. Same story, dialing without seeing the number that I dialed. Then, getting shocked when hearing the voice on the other side to not belong to the person I had wanted to speak to. I'd really didn't expect that I would do it again. Kind of made me look very foolish, not able to learn from experiences. So, I must really try not to have a relapse in concentration when trying to call someone. If a third time occurs, then really I think that I should just wish myself to burst in embarrassment, however painful it might be.
