I think you can say
I suddenly thought about the time I fell over.

Yeh that works too but I still think "of" sounds better... Damn, oh well, if native English speakers don't even know, I don't think Russians should worry too much about it.

In russian there are alotta words I don't know the difference between
For an instance: "Нужно" vs. "Надо" or "Забить (гвоздь)" vs. "Вбить (гвоздь)". A language ain't an exact science, there ain't no strict rules!!!
