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…

1. 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.
2. Claudia has a humsup for the HP TouchSmart PC.
3. Juzzywuzzy has his humsup goatee back.
4. Hillary couldn’t recognize who I was and probably thought I was a humsup trying to pick her up.
5. 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!!!

Like everyone else in this world, I have certain traits that I do not like, much less admire. I do have to point out that traits, whether good or bad, can be rather subjective. A quiet person might be deemed boring to some but others might value the person as the perfect companion to let one’s heart out to. A thrifty person might be seen as a scrooge to some but others will admire the persons determination in saving.

One of the traits that I have a love/hate relationship about me is,

Carelessness

.

I can be VERY VERY careless at times and I will tell you why.

.

E.g. #1

Once, during my poly days at Ngee Ann, I woke up like any usual morning for an early class. I took a lift down from the 6th storey to the ground level. Walked from the void deck to the bus stop. Took a bus from Jurong West to Clementi. Walked from the bus terminal up to the MRT station to cross the bridge down to the other side. Took a bus from there to Ngee Ann Poly. Walked past the crowds at the canteen. Walked past at least 4 to 5 buildings. Took the stairs up to my tutorial class.

My class resident chiobu, Kaiying, walked up to me as I tried to lean with my back on the wall with the coolest posture ever. She took a step closer and it was close enough for us to kiss and she whispered,

“Krisssss……..”

“Yeah?”

(She leans even closer)

“Your pants is not zipped up….”

“…………..”

.

E.g. #2

I was serving the Air Force(RSAF) as a regular and one Monday morning, I had to report to a highly secured facility in…… Singapore. I woke up a late and had to rush a little. I put on my smartly pressed uniform with my shining epaulettes indicating that I am an officer who is ranked as a Lieutenant.

I took a cab down to the facility and had to walk past the security check. As I approached the metal detector, a guard meekly called out to me,

“Er…. Sir?”

“Yes?”

“Sir… er… you… er….”

“What?”

“Sir… Er… You need to take ‘those’ out”

(He points at my left ear)

“Ah?…… OH SHIT!“

.

Turns out that I had not one but two studs on my left earlobe as I usually wear them over the weekends to act cool. After that incident, I was on a ‘Hi, Bye’ relationship with the guard. He probably told all his colleagues about it and I am not surprised if he did because I would have done the same.

“You see that Officer over there! I caught him reporting to work wearing studs on his ears that day lor! Kuku BIRD! WAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA!!!”

.

But of course, the good point about my carelessness is that I turn out goofy sometimes from such incidents and I make people laugh over it.

………………….

Okay…. That’s enough.

Stop laughing.
