Confession #1: I can’t remember people’s names.
Confession #2: I can’t remember people’s faces either.
T__________T
I am that bad lor! (and Angela is exactly like me)
A lot of people can’t remember Chinese names, iz true. But I can’t remember English names or Malay names either fml.
I took a test the other day. The test tells you how you process information the best — whether you’re a visual person (remember or understand things better if you see them), audio person (remember better if you hear them) or kinesthetic person (if you practice them).
I scored pretty evenly in all three actually! But the highest was still visual. Which is quite true actually! When I memorize facts from say, textbooks, I remember how the whole page looks like, where the info is on the page, and even the pictures.
And if I meet new people, I usually have to ask them to spell out their names so I can visualize it in my head.
But the moment I leave I forget anyway WTF.
And I’m equally bad with faces T________T
It’s nothing personal okay I just suck that way I try very very hard to remember but I have a memory like a sieve 🙁
So here comes confession #3. HAIH.
The other day I was at this event when this very motherly friendly looking Malay lady came up to me and said “Hello Aud” in a very familiar way.
I said “hello!” brightly and racked my brains trying to figure out who she was. She looked familiar so I knew I’d met her before.
Then she turned to Tim and said “Hi Tim! You don’t remember me do you?”
Tim went “ha ha ha” so I knew he was having trouble too wtf. Then somehow it struck me that this woman was Budiey’s wife! Yes it must be Budiey’s wife!
I saved him by saying “She’s Budiey’s wife la you don’t remember ah.”
Of course she wasn’t Budiey’s wife! But I don’t know why she either didn’t hear me or she didn’t want to embarrass me or what but she didn’t say anything!!!
So obviously after her lack of objection I really thought she was Budiey’s wife! And told everyone in the room she was Budiey’s wife WTF.
Even when Kim said “really? I thought it was someone else” I brushed her off saying “no no it’s Budiey’s wife” WTF.
To the extent that Yuen Yee believed it but she also knew that Budiey got married not too long ago. And she also knew that lady by sight and knew that she had four children so she thought that Budiey already had four children WTF this is how rumors spread!!!
Confession #4
I met a client the same day! It was the second time seeing her and she had makeup on so I didn’t recognize her WTF. I went up to her and put out my hand and said “and you are?” WTF
Aih cannot see myself getting far in the corporate world *gloom
(Robb also has a similar problem)
That’s why when Fresh put on contacts and makeup I couldn’t recognize her either and looked at her strangely hahahaha fml.
Confession #5
Think Fresh cannot tahan me already cos she says I keep doing stupid things T3T
That day she messaged me asking me why did my song in my playlist (which was showing up on MSN) have such a weird title.
So I looked at my media player.
Hahahahahahahaha
I ripped the song off Youtube and the title was in Korean which I can’t read so I anyhow renamed the file and totally forgot about it hahahaahha.
Or is it not funny and I shiok sendiri -_-

wtf u really made me believe she was budiey’s wife!!!!!
Oh well you can’t be good at everything right! Love your hair xoxo
LOL! Been reading your blog for a while. You always make my day! 😀
from robb’s blog
“I mean it’s understandable that Not-Audrey is likely to have the problem. I mean, she got night visions and no knees, I’m sure the lack of height probably means the lack of memory la. But why me?”
WAHAHAHAHHA.. i lol-ed in the office when i read that and i feel the need to comment now, actly i read ur blog first, but *cough.. lazy to comment just now… =.=”
my bf has the same memory problem, he can’t remember those people whom he seldom see. there was once he met 1 of our friend n she came to greet him, he couldn’t recall her name but good thing he saves almost everyones phone number in his phone so u can imagine his phone list is super long. So, he greeted her without mentioning her name n as soon as she left, he started scrolling his phone list from A-Z n he finally found her name n recalled.
So next time, if I were to bump into you in the streets, I think the wisest thing is to re-introduce myself again. Haha! =)
how about try remembering their height?
omg me toooo T___T memory so lousy!! but i can recognise people alright, just that damn, their names are the difficult one!!!!
Sometimes i can remember that his/her name starts with lets say, the letter ‘K’ but sometimes, i got nothing in my mind at all.
imagine talking and chatting to ppl in events without knowing their names at all. the worse is that, they remember your name. T___T so guilty loh!
i foresee we have a lot of ppl having this prob. shld we have a facebook fanpage for “Can’t Remember People’s Name After Meeting Them” ? LOL
i <3 you muchhh cuz of the stupid things you do! so entertaining! like how i saved that whole epic MSN conversation so i can read it back and be entertained when i’m stressed HAHAHAHA
hahahahahhaha awww i miss you babie. It’s like i told my host family how john supposed to be black but used a white person’s pic in order to get into AKP HAHAHAHA simply cuz i don’t remember the white john in our program.

Hey audrey, I came across this article on Yahoo about tricks to remember things such as people’s name and ATM pin. I think there’s a trick or two stated which might be useful to you.
This is the link:

I personally like no. 13 (ATM pin remembering example) =)
