Have you ever seen those scenes in movies or dramas, where this one guy worked so hard that he completely forgot that it was his birthday, until, say a group of friends surprised him with a party? Or, another guy, who came back late from work only to see his wife fallen asleep on a dining table beautifully decorated with dinner and candle lights and all, and upon checking the calendar only did he realize that it was their wedding anniversary. Well, I used to laugh whenever this kind of scene came out on screen. I mean come on, there is no way people can forget those kind of important dates, ones that do not come often in life no matter how busy they might be. It is just ridiculous.
But alas, that is exactly what’s happening to me lately. I start to be forgetful of stuffs especially ones that deal with dates. No, not exactly like the scenes I mentioned above, but something of that manner.
I guess it is true what people always say, that things portrayed on the screen are indeed real happenings in actual life. After all, where else do you expect the movie or drama director gets the idea from if not from real-life experience?
Perhaps next time, whenever such scene appear on the screen, I should just shut my mouth up and concentrate on how the first guy reacts to his friends for organizing the surprise party, or how the other guy wakes his wife up and says sorry for being forgetful.
