Embarrasing moment

Correct me if I am wrong.......

I believe there is always a streak of obstinacy in every individual. Whenever one is told not to do something, he will definitely do it and will not stop until he encounters some embarrassment or unpleasantness. I am no exception. Here is what happened.

Every week before Sunday worship begins we are reminded to have our mobile switch off or have it set to silent mode. Until now I have not heeded this request. I feel that this is not necessary since all family members know I attend church service every Sunday morning and friends too rarely call me up so early in the morning.

Similarly, before the start of BSF lessons there is also this same request. I did nothing to my mobile at my 1st lesson and nothing happened. However, not so luck the next time around!! Just before the start of the 2nd lesson, Ong Lee reminded me to set my mobile. Very proud and confident, I replied "don't worry, nobody will call me. My family members know I'm in church". Well, nothing happened during prayers and singing of hymns. Nothing happened during group discussion either. Soon it was time for lecture. Once again Ong Lee reminded me about my mobile. Again I assured her there would not be any incoming calls.

Then just 5 minutes into the lecture, my mobile started ringing. Everyone got startled because the ring volume was at No.8. To make matters worse, it was set at ascending tone!! Instantly the whole hall was in silent, the lecturer stopped speaking, only the ringing tone was heard loud and clean as I fumbled in my bag to find my mobile. I was so embarrassed that for a good 10 minutes I dared not look up and only fixed my eyes on my Bible which was placed on my lap. Padan muka, ya? hahahaa....

Say Ong Lee, did you happened to look at the lecturer's face? Was she angry?
