it is said that women remember things that men would find impossible to remember; phone numbers, datelines, license number, IC number, promises made months ago, silly jokes laughed at years ago, people they met only once a few years back and so on. what is it with guys that they can't remember? that has got to cross your mind at least once. is it because they're too lazy to do it? or they just plain dumb? or maybe there's a scientific explanation like the males' memory retention is low than that of females'? don't get me wrong i am not a women activist at all. and i am no men-hater either. i believe that both species can actually get along well together under certain circumstances of course. i've even met guys who are actually good with their memories and i've certainly met girls who can't even remember their own cell number. the truth is i enjoyed befriended both types meaning those who can remember well and the opposite. the world is made up of pros and cons right?
the nice thing about having photographic-memory friends is that they can get you out of trouble by simply revisiting an event in their minds. like how you're being blamed at for not locking up the house when you're positive than ever that you did. like how people laugh at someone else's jokes which was originally your jokes a few months ago. like when you've returned something you've borrowed and that person claimed that you didn't. i'm talking about rare cases where you don't have any proof but only a witness. these are the moments where you need witness with superior memory.
the pros of having friends who can't even seem to remember the last time they took their bath is on the other hand not a bad thing either. like how you said hurtful things at them without really meaning to. like when you 'accidentally' start your own idol show and can't seem to stop singing when they're in the midst of finishing an assignment. like when you forgot to turn off their laptop for them. people who easily forget things i'm telling you they don't even bother with these stuffs because they can't even remember them the next morning. or the following week. so yeah i like having them as friends either.
so yes i'm glad to have multi-purpose friends all over the town. it kinda helps me. it does. but more so i like friends who can lie for me. cover-all-the-tracks stuffs. that's the best. XD
and which types i fell into? i can only tell you that i'm definitely not both. it has to be only one. your pick. ;p
