The Problem I Have As a Blogger is…
I once said that carelessness is one of the biggest drawbacks of me as a person as I am one who can sometimes be so deep in thought that without realizing it, I have already crossed the road. Countless number of times when this happens and I will suddenly be aware of my body and go,
“Eh?!?!?! I DON’T REMEMBER CROSSING THE ROAD!!!”
It’s sometimes pretty scary to think that I am on ‘auto-mode’ when doing things like crossing the road but it’s a good skill to have provided that it is fail safe. I don’t want to be roadkill.
.
One of the biggest problems I have as a blogger would be my memory. I have such bad memory. Some who know me personally might say otherwise but I think I have ‘selective memory’. My brain registers infomation ‘permanently’ on certain subjects and the rest goes into my ‘RAM’ which gets cleared every 3 seconds or so. For example, if it’s the first time I meet you and you tell me your name, I will forget almost instantanously. I will only remember the conversation and especially if you tell me interesting things like how you like to dig your nose… with your thumb.
I am not implying that anybody I’ve met at the HP TouchSmart PC Event that I went to yesterday likes to dig their nose with their thumb. But if it JUST SO HAPPENS that I met you yesterday and you REALLY like to use your thumb. Well… erm… do reconsider your other options.
While I am on that anyway, I will like to extend my gratitude to Waggener Edstrom for organizing and Daryl a.k.a UniqueFrequency for inviting me to the event.

The TouchSmart PC looks great and I shall have another entry of it when I find more time. It’s great to also meet up with more bloggers at the event like…
er….
…like…
YOU SEE LAR!
I DON’T REMEMBER THE NAMES OF EVERYONE I MET!!!
.
I do remember the conversations that I had with each of you guys though. I think I got to either improve my memory or make it a habit to jot down everything I want to remember. If I jotted down stuffs yesterday, some of the things I would have written down were…
- I took a picture with Jacelyn a.k.a daintyflair and apparently, I look humsup (lecherous). I never looked at the picture properly but maybe I was drooling or something.
- Claudia has a humsup for the HP TouchSmart PC.
- Juzzywuzzy has his humsup goatee back.
- Hillary couldn’t recognize who I was and probably thought I was a humsup trying to pick her up.
- I helped Daphne take a picture with two other ladies and the camera auto-focused on her left boob. The camera was humsup. If the picture turned out shaky, I am sorry. I was trying to contain my laughter.
WAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAAHAAHA!!!

aye, actually i oso don’t remember people’s name when we meet for the first time.
I think it has something to do with whether or not you know how the name is spelled and how complex your name sounds.
..But nvm. EVERYBODY CAN CALL ME HAMSUM! very easy to remember.
ohohoho!

Hee hee… Name card exchange is the most important skill we learn in networking. I always use that as a conversation piece to try to know the other person better.
I have an equally bad memory with names, but i do have a pretty good memory of faces. If i’ve seen a person before, chances are i can recognise the person but not the name. I’m never shy abt asking for their name again.
