Bugs: #1425: Memory allocation error

12 September, 2007 
When I was in high school, forgetting to bring my lunch was a daily event. Sometimes, I forgot my watch and on a rarer event, I would forget my mobile. I didn’t just leave those occuring incidents alone, I tried to make checklist so that I wouldn’t forget anything. It worked for a day or two, but then I realised that the adversary in my brain made me forget about the checklist and I forgot even more things…
At present, things happen more randomly but it seems that this week I have had a streak of memory losses. On Sunday, I forgot to bring my work’s papers and books. On Monday, I forgot that I have forgotten the papers and the books at my house. I thought I left it at Minie’s place. On Tuesday, I left my ***mighty electric toothbrush*** which forced me to use the traditional toothbrush again today, sad.
Today was even worse! I remember to bring everything except one important thing. I even checked my to-do list in my mobile to make sure I didn’t make the usual mistake. I brought my camera, my harddisk, my mobile, my work papers & books, my reading papers, my lip gloss, my eye liner, my moisturiser, etc etc. The list goes on, except one: my wallet. It struck me horribly when I was about to get the usual travel ten out in the bus.
Now I am surviving the day with Stef’s $20 (Stef was luckily with me). The wallet is not something that I need for today thankfully, but I am desperately trying to install more memory to my head. The question is: how?

hahahahaha maybe you need somekind of format? or brain’s update hahahah just go to http://www.brainupdate.com hahaha just kidding.
or maybe you can buy bigger memory hahaha
hmmm I know that girl’s stuff is a lot more than boy’s stuff. Everytime I go, I only need to check watch, mp3 players, cellphone, wallter, and keys hahaha that’s it, easy huh?

lols, yes i think i know what you mean, my brain seems to fail more and more these days – lack of sleep definitely doesn’t help either!
what i find useful is before you go to sleep at night, put everything you need in your bag/on the table – so in the morning you can just chuck it all in
though don’t do what i sometimes do…i take things out to check that everything is in the bag…but forget to put it back in

The trick to remember more stuff is to use less memory (per item). For me, I just forget everything happened yesterday = more memory
On a few occasion I forget to bring my wallet/keys/lunch, which means I can’t use concession tickets or I can’t get into my lab in uni. Nowdays I just have everything tied using one string (key+wallet+mobile) and hang it in front of my door :S Cure insomnia as well, just swing it a little bit before going to sleep
I used to put everything in my bag night before, just like what pyko said… but it doesn’t help now when I swap bags like 5 minutes just before leaving home (e.g. impulsively want to bring laptop)
Consider remembering less stuff
Ah what the heck, just don’t remember anything at all and there will be nothing to forget

Worse things happened today. After I blogged this entry in the morning, I managed to forget to go to the post office after my promise for uncle wazza AND I left my lunch container (including my beloved free chippies I got earlier in the morning) at work!
Very good, makes me feel like a 210 yrs old now…
