Meroyanism....

The weather recently has slid into the dangerous zone where I start to panic, because soon it will be too warm for my black turtleneck, black inner and sheer outer, wooly pants and heavy abayas, and also other aspects of my urban hijab. Everytime the mercury rises in the thermometer, I lament my plight of not having warm weather clothes and whenever I attempt to buy some, I still end up buying thick and warm apparels. It doesn't help that for the past four months it has been raining steadily without fail and I am sooooo happy, contented and cocooned in my so called winter apparels!

I have been advised by many to learn the art of layering, if being warm is so important to me.


this called multi wrap hijab where a few layers of sheers are overlapped to cover up, and keep warm too! Must learn this technique....


And today is the 4th day in a row that I have forgotten to pick up my comforters and a few abayas from the dry clean shop. This is despite the fact that yesterday I used a bookmark, a large piece of paper, and wrote on it "Pick up the dry cleaning U forgetful moron!" and left it on my car dashboard. Yet this morning I drove past the dry cleaners and didn't think of it till I'm in my office. Maybe my subconcious doesn't respond well to me name calling myself?

Tomorrow I will try a note that says " U are such a wonderful person that U will no doubt remember to pick up the the dry cleaning without fail!"I hope that will work.

You ever had a random thought or two? I sometimes put them on post-it notes and stick them where I can see (on the fridge, on the bedside wall, on my car's dashboard). But at my rate, stapling it to my forehead would be better, I suppose....




this is my note to myself.....

Really got to go pick up those clothes from the dry cleaners coz my supply of even vaguely-professional looking work clothes is fast dwindling. I may have to go to work next week in a new pyjamas and wearing my bedsheet wrapped around me like a shayla!

totally out of topic: I am soooo dying for a baju tidur celoreng like this. Know where I can get one?

p/s- the other day, I told Mr. Hubby to drive us all to Burger King for dinner and I sat next to him lost in thought till we reach TC, then I screamed "Why aren't we at Sushi King?" The whole car screamed back at me "Mak! U said Burger King, not Sushi King!"

Quoting Ju, "drama King Kong betul lah lu....."

Aunty Ahan,
I've seen something like at the men's section at Tesco. har har har *evil laughs*

Anyway, I don't think stapling any note on your forehead would solve the problem. You need to be hypnotised. purrr....meow!

CiS,

I dun trust anything from U when it ends with your evil laugh! Muahahaha....

Yeah hypnotising myself into remembering mundane tasks and chore is really an alternative I need looking into, I guess. Dok asyik pelupa aje lately.

Take more fish oil with omega 3 for the forgetfulness!

I love that drama king kong betol lah comment.. I thought lawyers have to remember so many court cases of the past that their memories are way better than us mere mortals;)

VersedAnggerik said...

Nin,

InsyaAllah, if I can remember to!

HLiza,

U pun ker?

Ayah Wan,

I think bcoz the space in our brains have been taken up mainly by cases, thus leaving us very small space to remember others. Thus, scatterbrained lawyers are a lot out there!

Hehehehe...
