I'M THE TYPE TO...

I'M THE TYPE TO...


... Drop my toothbrush while brushing teeth because it wasn't held tightly enough.

... Search high and low for the hair clips, only to - minutes later - realize that they're already on my head.

... Laugh at my own jokes; even in the midst of telling them.

... Laugh at the same joke over and over again.

... Think to myself, "You go, girl!" and then proceed to smile/wink to my own reflection in the mirror.

... Talk to Nancy (The Master's Dalmatian). Wink at the display picture of Grace in my mobile phone. Chat with my big doggie soft toys or the dolphin that shares my bed. Carry imaginary, whacky conversations with myself in my head.

... Still be laughing over something that happened days or weeks ago.

... Sing to myself randomly and quietly.

... Either that, or suddenly bursting into giggles, or suddenly smiling to myself. Even when ALONE. Yes, I'm lost in my own world.

... Deliberately keep some important things or documents in a "special" place so that I won't forget where I kept it, only to end up forgetting where this "special" place is.

... Either trip UP or DOWN the staircases. Hence, I always try to hold on to the handrail whenever possible. It has saved my life more than once.

... Know the correct order of alphabets only by singing The Alphabet Song mentally in my head. The only sections which I can recall effortlessly without help is A-B-C-D-E-F, L-M-N-O, and X-Y-Z. Brilliant.

... Be a bad prankster. Either I'll stutter obviously, have shifty eyes and difficulty looking into the other person's eyes, keep blinking, licking the lips, or end up saying something totally disconnected and random when further probed.

... Change topics when I feel uncomfortable enough. But it always end up being totally comical, because it is always anything but subtle.

... Forget dates and end up having clashes in appointment schedules.

... Think about silly and random questions like: Why do round pizzas come in square boxes? How is the coastal sea water lines determined? Do the Alphabet Song and Twinkle Twinkle Little Star share the same tune and melody? Do birds do some warm up exercises before flying? Do blind man have dreams? What happens if I feed turtles some chilli padi? Are there lizards in heaven? Can I ask for a lizards radar?

... Have butterflies in the stomach, and experience strong urges of nausea in moments of importance/anxiety/nervousness/examinations.

... Totally forget about time when busy. I think He has been taking extra efforts to protect my stomach linings; something which I've been, of late, feeling guilty over because I've been taking it a tad too much for granted.

... Train the left hand to use the chopsticks or comb the hair or to write, because I heard somewhere that it's good to exercise both sides of the brain. Can prevent Alzheimer's, I think.

... Pertaining to the above 2 points, to choose noodles over rice while working/studying; simply so that I can eat and work at the same time. The left hand can handle the chopsticks, while the right hand can carry on writing/typing.

... Pertaining to the above again, at times when I do remember to eat, I forget to chew, and will "park" the food by the sides of the mouth cavity and totally forget about it. By the time I remember, it has already turned dreadfully soggy.

... Genuinely entering the Gents by mistake and still blissfully ignorant of it.

... Walk for at least 5 steps, before realizing that I'm walking in the opposite direction.

... Forget about silly, trivial things such as medications. Like, "To prevent drug-drug interactions, I'll take the next dosage another additional 15minutes later for better measurement." When 15minutes have passed, I'll end up confused. Did I take it 15minutes ago, or did I postpone it?

... When distracted, frequently throw rubbish into the laundry basket and clothes into the rubbish bin.

... Always call people by the wrong name (Hi John! I mean, Sam!).

... Walk into a wall or a pillar or someone's shoulder every now and then.

... Smile as a tactic to stall for time.

... Totally forget where my seat is after coming back from the ladies or purchasing some food. If I ever have a car, probably I'll forget where I parked it.
