Forgetful Me

I've been getting more and more forgetful about important dates since I've started working. It seems as though the only dates I remember are when I'm on call. And I'm only looking forward to weekends. Nothing else matters.

I will remember the birthdays of my loved ones, but when the day comes, I get so engrossed with my work that I forget to ring home to give my blessings. And sometimes, even when I make the effort to ring home with saying "Happy Birthday" as my purpose, I realise I've forgotten to do so only after hanging up the call.

I used to look forward to every 28th of the month, even though I don't celebrate anything at all with Dearie. But sometimes I have forgotten all about it.

Flipped through my diary, and realised that I have forgotten that Dearie's birthday is nearing. Good thing it hasn't gone past without me realising, but still, I can't help but feel guilty that I've completely forgotten about that important day. Fortunately, I'm on call that weekend, or else I won't forgive myself for not picking to take my leave during that period, so that I can be physically next to him during his bday.

Hmm...maybe I'll try and plan something for him during one of my days in China. Wonder what should I do for him....*ponders*
