I don't think something is wrong. Usually, when these things happen to me, it means I've too many things on ny mind. Most of the time, I'm thinking about something else. Eg. Goes to the room to get my glasses. Halfway there, I start thinking about what I've to do later in the afternoon. Once I reach my room...oops, now why am I here? Hehe Rgds My Blog: http://wonderwealthwisdom.blogspot.com/ <strong>Adino</strong>: Looks like this is a common problem haha! Welcome to my blog! Hi Adino,

But then, can't trust anyone nowadays. They might suddenly make a police report against you. same here.. i am getting short term memory lost too.. too many a times i walked into a room and wondered why do i go there at the first place!

But they say, that it will turn to normal after a while. So maybe your memory will return :-) That thing with going to a room and forgetting what you wanted is for me normal and it often happens with me :-) The best cure for it is returning to the place you were before and usually the thing, what you wanted, just pops back into your head :-) By the way, your baby is adorable :-) <strong>Adino</strong>: Thanks! But err... I wasn't pregnant, my wife was ;) I heard, that many women have bad memory during the pregnancy. But they say, that it will turn to normal after a while.

I am like that everyday! Everyday!! One time I actually fetched PC to my house instead of hers. I tell you leh. I'm sure there is a diagnosis to this disease. Is there a doctor House in our midst? <strong>Adino</strong>: I also don't know what happened la... one moment I'm heading to a part of the house, and the next moment I'm standing there with some unrelated things in my hands.

But I think you've just got too many things on your mind that you let your body automate itself and you get these "episodes" of what seems to be forgetfulness when it's actually you reasserting control over your subconscious mind and therefore breaking the chain of thought. You follow? Keke. <strong>Adino</strong>: You lost me at automate. :( I guess you're telling me that I only think I'm forgetful because my brain suddenly kicks in and interrupts my body on auto cruise? That makes sense. If I could only remember not to interrupt myself next time. Hehehe… maybe you need some gingko biloba for your next birthday.

Wait, did you *intentionally* forget example #3? You said there are "three solid examples". <strong>Adino</strong>: Did I say three? Oh dear... It’s probably because you are often thinking about Rachel and forgot what you were doing.

I think we intend to lose focus when we're doing something and when we're too focus we get forgetful too. Mostly because we're not enough sleep and our mind just wandering around. But I'm sure that if something very important and at your top priority, you won't forget it easily. So don't worry about your absent minded "illness", it's normal for people who're getting older. (Not that old lar, just getting to be more adult I mean) <strong>Adino</strong>: Haha... glad to know I'm not alone! Haha… same situation as me.
