The biggest lie I tell myself is "I don't need to write that down, I'll remember it." - Anonymous
_________________________________________________________________________________
I have very poor memory. I think it's an early sign of Alzheimer since my maternal grandmother had it and my mom calls me Gigi sometimes. Gigi is our 14 year old miniature pincher btw. Very sad lah when your mom calls you by the name of your pet dog T_T I won't feel as hurt if she mixed up my name with any of my three siblings but A DOG? Seriously? I love Gigi but doesn't mean I don't feel offended ok?
Anyway, what I'm trying to say is that Alzheimer runs in my family. So is cancer FMLtripplemax. My aunt in England had breast cancer while my paternal grandmother had bone cancer..or something cancerous.. sorry I was only 12 when she lost the battle :( Anyway, that's story for another day.
Okay, as I was saying, I have the memory of an 80 year old so much so that I really feel annoyed with myself sometimes when I couldn't remember something. Here are a few examples :
Scenario 1 :
Couldn't find my phone,
Me : Isabelle, where is mummy's phone??
Isabelle : Ah phone ar? *baby talk, baby talk, points at the floor, more baby talk*
Me : Where is it? Where did you take mummy's phone to???
Isabelle : *nods, baby talk, doing hand gestures, baby talk*
Me : Where is ittttttttt???! Why do you always take mummy's phone and simply place it?? You're so naughty you know! Find it quick! (Yes, I sent my 2yo on a phone searching mission wtf)
After searching frantically for 10 minutes, I found my phone on the kitchen cabinet. Had to apologize to Isabelle for jumping down her throat for something she didn't do =.=

Scenario 2 :
Got into the passenger seat,
Me : Amberly has lost the spare keys. I've told you not to give it to her. She's a child, she's not capable of safeguarding it.
Mister : Amber, you lost your spare keys??? Didn't I told you to keep it in your schoolbag???? How did you lose it?
Amberly : *Looks at us innocently* I did! I didn't take it out until when I reached home to open the door. I never lose it at school! The last time I used it to open the door then it's not with me anymore..
At this point I suddenly remembered I've seen it somewhere at home. Quickly tries to change subject.
Me : What are we having for dinner?
When we got home, I found the spare keys in the key holder box. Had to apologize to Amberly FML.

Scenario 3 :
Happened just now - Found one of my bra pad on the floor :
Me : *Holding bra pad in hand* Dear, have you seen my another bra pad? It's a set, there's two pieces.
Mister : Uh, no.
I searched the toilet, master bedroom, kid's room, dining table but still couldn't find it. I got sidetracked after awhile and decided to put the electronic piano back to it's usual spot and when I lift the piano up, one bra pad dropped on the floor. (They're stick on bra pads for my monokini that I never got to wear because my plan to go to Phuket last June got cancelled. I then decided to try them on when I brought the kids for swimming this evening wtf. Isabelle must've mess around with it)
Mister : Ah there, your bra pad. *points to the floor where it landed*
Me : Oh okay. *pick it up and goes into the master bedroom where I thought I've placed the earlier bra pad on my make up station but couldn't find it. Proceeds to go around the house finding for the first bra pad but it was nowhere to be seen FMLtripplemax*
Me : Dear, where is my first bra pad? The one I was holding just now?
Mister : -____________________________-
At last, after I've given up finding, reassuring myself that it will show up eventually, the mister found it near the exit to our balcony. He picked it up and says "Ugh. What's this?? You wore a bra pad to go swimming at our condo's swimming pool? Got people go already meh??"
Heheh
