My Forgetful Moments.

Ok, it is 2.30 am and here I am! Still awake, or is it, just awake.

Padan muka, sapa suruh tidur lepas buke pose. Ambek kau. Bush Dish Dish. [lempang diri sendiri]

As most of my friends are aware of, I am a hopeless forgetful person.

I used to have many spare keys for my room and my car during my study time and let my friends kept them since I seldom forget where did I kept mine. And this forgetful thing is becoming worse everyday since I started working. Maybe there's is just too much to think of.

1. Masa 2nd year of my study, it was this weekend when ada aktiviti kat kampus, but at the same time ada my sister's punya convocation. I managed to get a midnight bus to KL and right after the event, I got back to Penang the next evening. Masa dalam bus nak balik kampus, tertido laa kejap kan. Tibe-tibe bus berhenti kat RnR and I woke up dalam keadaan yang sangat blur blur... "Ape aku buat atas bus ni?????"

2. It was somewhere during my 3rd year study as I was going back to my campus from my hometown. Lepas salam salam, muah muah, kiss kiss dengan parents, so I drove back to Penang, which took me around 2 hours drive. But halfway after, I look back, *damn*, I forgot to take my beg along. Selambe kau je lenggang balik kampus.

3. I was at my faculty, maybe the same year as previous case. And I was walking back to my room. Jauh jalan ni, took me about 15 minutes walk. Bila sampai je kat desasiswa, baru perasan... "Aku rasa aku drive pegi fakulti tadi, asal aku jalan kaki balik ni..."

4. I've started working already and it was Saturday. I was planning to go back to my sister's house in Seri Kembangan, instead, I drove to my work place tanpa rasa serba salah dan segan silu dan terus bekerja tanpa tujuan. Bila dah lunch hour, baru ingat... "Rasanya tadi taknak pegi keje, macam nak balik rumah Kak Ita, asal aku kat sini ni...."

Ok. Sebenarnye banyak lagi, tapi saya kan forgetful, macam mana nak ingat semua kan.

So I found some these tips to stop forgetfulness. Maybe we can all try.

1. Do not self-diagnose your lack of memory skills as disease or as something that will lead to Alzheimer.

2. Make lists.

3. Challenge yourself even with a list on your hand.

4. Studies show that we remember the most insane, ridiculous things. The more ridiculous the scenario, the easier for you to remember.

5. Use mnemonics by acronyms to remember things.

6. If you are alone, talk to yourself as you perform each task that you must remember doing.

7. Play memory games on your computer.

8. Make a song out of your list.

9. Eat protein-rich food, such as meat or fish.

10. Drink a lot of water.

There you go. Jom kita cuba...
