Many friends have complaint to me that they were losing memories after giving birth. I can tell you that this is not true.

I actually kept a very close eyes on myself on this claim as soon as I gave birth to my first boy. I didn’t feel that my memory was deteriorating. So, why did my friends feel that way?

It is simple – we now have to remember things for another person. With two boys, I have to remember things for three persons. So, I keep telling my friends that we are not getting forgetful. As a result, they should not be too worried about this. What I do is I keep a simple calendar and write all appointments down. And I am in good shape (why I am not using digital devices is another story, I will save it for later).

Back to us losing memory. My theory has real support. I was reading the newspaper this mornning on this topic. A study done by the Australian National University shows that we, mothers, do not suffer from memory losses after giving birth. The study confirms my theory that we are simply too occupied with the baby thing and lose track of things here and there.

So, mommies, don’t be silly. We are not getting older and more forgetful just because we are mothers now. Take some rest, and you will be reset tomorrow morning.

你而家合上眼，數二十下。

BOOM！

呢二十下，仲耐過土瓜灣馬頭圍道冧樓嘅十數秒。就只係十幾秒，可以失去至親，失去家園。看著新聞報導，心裡有說不出的痛。

冧樓後嘅一星期，高錕教授訪港。看著新聞報導，心裡也有說不出的痛。

一個人，可以突然間灰飛煙滅，也可以在你眼前慢慢消失。點樣消失，冇得揀；幾時消失，冇得揀。都幾灰…

再灰，生活都要過。可以過得冇咁灰嗎？應該得，事在人為。唔好俾自己嘅生命白過。

仲有，要緊記：珍惜眼前人，千萬唔好俾自己後悔。
