Forgetfulness

I never forget to bring the keys to my house whenever I leave home. It happened one day that I left home not only forgetting to close the front gate but also leaving the bunch of keys still hanging on the padlock. Lucky that my wife realized it and she took the keys before some bad guys found them.
I think it is common for the elderly to experience forgetfulness one way or another. I considered it as normal if for examples they forget to switch off the bathroom light, to charge the handphone battery, or even forget the names of their close relatives or friends.
This phenomena of forgetfulness is not only confined to the aged, youngsters can also be inflicted. I know one young, cute, petite female USM's student, she stays at the hostel, and goes home only during the weekends. One of her duty when she's at home is to prepare lunch for her grandmother.
'Dah nak masuk lohor' (zohor) ni nasi tak masak lagi ka!'
'Laa, lupa la tok'
Whether she really lupa or just using the word as an excuse, tak tau la. You know what she has been doing by looking at her unruly hair and sleepy eyes.
Lately I forgot doing quite a number of things but not to the extend of forgetting my name or forget to take my bath (dimentia). The reason I forgot to lock the gate and left my keys there was because I deviated from my routine. I normally drive the car out from the porch and parked the car just outside the gate, come out from the car, lock the gate and drive. On that day the car was parked outside, I just opened the gate big enough for my body to pass through, open the car's booth to put my shoes in and then drove off. Because of this event, my wife make a fuss out of it. She told my children that I am gradually losing my memory.
One thing that I learn is not to procrastinate work lest you will forget. Finish it there and then.
