Today I had a 15 minute piano lesson. The lesson was supposed to start 1 hour earlier from my normal time today. I forgot. I was practising at home when I got a phone call around 4 pm (the lesson was supposed to start at 3.30). I answered the call, a little frustrated at being interrupted during the course of my (last minute) practising. It was my teacher on the line. And I immediately remembered- 3.30!!!
Aargh. So I rushed to my teacher's home. Reached at 4.15. Great. So I was walking to the lift when I noticed this girl in front of me, who stopped to keep her umbrella or something. I dunno why, but then I thought, "hm, maybe she's the next student..." (the lessons are one-to-one)
"Nah." So I went up and had the shortest piano lesson I've ever had. Sigh... It was so rushed. When the lesson ended, I was still feeling guilty for forgetting change in the timing of my lesson. My teacher phoned me only a few days ago to remind me. Anyway, when I left, guess who I saw? That girl again. And I think I saw a startled look on her face. Haha, she must have recognised me. So I was right! LOL, Wonder what made me think she was one of my teacher's students in the first place...
I dunno what's wrong with me. Sometimes I'm quite good at remembering things. Sometimes I totally forget. Why? And when I set an alarm in my phone, or make a note, to try to make sure I don't forget, I end up not needing the note or reminder, 'cos I remembered what I wanted to remember the whole time. But when I just try and make a mental note, sure, maybe I remember, but that little bit of info gets pushed right to the back of my mind, and I end up forgetting what I wanna remember. I guess it's Murphy's Law at work again.
Maybe I'll just play it safe from now on. I won't rely solely on my (unreliable) brain. Use a planner? Hahahaha... I've tried using a planner or a to-do list, but I end up forgetting to check the planner or to-do list. My phone's calendar/alarm's quite good. I just have to hope the batt isn't empty at all times...
