Hmmmm… What Was It Again?
Being forgetful and careless are traits that I have been carrying for as long as I can remember. I can leave my keys in the toilet and instantly forgetting where I left them the moment I step out of the toilet. I can pull the pin from a grenade and throw the pin at the enemy and leave the grenade in my hands. It’s just a little far fetched for the last example but you do get what I mean right?
KuKuNehNeh on the other hand, should have super memory and be extremely meticulous based on the rule that opposites attract but it ain’t so. And yesterday was a testament to her forgetfulness.
We conversed over email during work and I asked her to go straight home after work instead of waiting for me at City Hall but she told me that she would rather wait for me and head home together. So I reached City Hall and turned around the corner where I would usually find her sitting on the bench but found an Auntie sitting there instead. Odds are low that she is late to the meeting spot and odds are lower that she has aged this much in 24 hours so I called her up on her mobile.
“Hello?” She answered the phone.
“Hello Dear! Where are you?”
“Er…. I am on the way….” She replied with hesitation in her voice.
“On your way? To where???”
“Errrr…. Home lor. ALAMAK! I FORGOT I WAS SUPPOSED TO MEET YOU!”
It turns out that she reached the platform with her colleagues and saw a train arriving and boarded it like every train hungry Singaporean and promptly forgot all about me until I called her.
And later during the night after my 7.2km run, I went to the toilet to shower to only find that my towel wasn’t there.
She was washing the dishes and I turned to her, “Eh Dear ah. I got no towel here leh.”
“There should be ah.”
“No leh. I will go get one.”
“No need Dear. You bathe first. Let me get the towel for you later.”
“Ok! Thanks Dear!”
And so I showered peacefully and wondered why my towel has not arrived after scrubbing my body from head to toe. I could not risk exposing myself in my birthday suit to her family and I slowly popped my head out from the sliding door and called for her for about 10 mins before she came running by with a towel. It was hilarious seeing how forgetful she is like me.
If you ever need someone to remind you of something, do not; DO NOT ask either of us to help you.
