Musings of a Random Mind

i'm getting old

I have been totally and utterly hopeless lately.. I can't seem to remember anything! Even after making a conscious effort e.g. thinking "what do I need to bring?", before leaving the house.

I forgot to bring the spare phone for TG, I forgot the 8850 for DT, I forgot where I kept my receipt for my altered skirt, I forgot to take the statement I needed to submit by today from DT's car, I forgot to take down the tops SA gave me from my car til 2 days later... man, I suck.

And today, of all days, the day we were to go to the Commissioner of Oaths & to submit the forms to the registrar. After all the effort I put into ensuring I had all the necessary photocopies of witnesses' ICs & our birth certs, I forgot we needed passport photos. And when I went to make copies of his birth cert & IC, I forgot to make another copy of my birth cert cos I only had one copy & two were required. And I almost forgot that we couldn't set 1st of January as our registration date because my parents would be away.

I felt like crying in the car. He was such an angel, not making a big deal out of my uselessness in the memory department. He drove to our standard afternoon tea coffee shop Sun Hin Loong to get Siew Pau & currypuffs, and even heated up leftover bak kut teh soup his mum made the night before, as comfort food. And he gave me a big hug and kiss knowing I was upset (and emo to an unreasonable extent thanks to my pms) with myself but not asking me about it for he knew if I wanted to talk about it, I would.

For once, I didn't need to. Having him understand & pamper me like that was more than enough.
