The long long delay...

i'm sure everyone has experience before in delaying to do something important....but to delay for as long as a year...anyone??

Case 1: my 21st birthday photos taken in 2004......till now there're still friends who haven't got these photos! and these are friends whom i see almost everyday! for god's sake....its year 2005 already! ridiculous right? it's not that i don't wanna give the photos nor issit because i didn't develop the photos! i developed them shortly after the party and was all ready to distribute the photos to all my friends....but for some reason or another...i ALWAYS forgot! and kept it in my drawer...and whenever i open my drawer i'll remind myself "must remember to bring for them tomoro..." so when its 'tomoro', it just slipped my mind....and i reminded myself again the next time i saw it...day after day...i reminded myself of the same old thing and day after day i kept forgetting it....

i did try to put it on the table to remind myself....but it didn't help...and finally one day my mum nagged at me again to keep my table tidy and keep only the necessary stuff on my table...i dumped the photos into my drawer again....

Case 2: a friend of mine Lemon Tea just got her 21st birthday present from me yesterday.... after almost 5 months?? so why did i owe her for so long? according to WaLu's Theory of Excuses, there are a couple of explanations...
1) forgot her birthday, so forgot to buy
2) remember her birthday, but forgot to buy
3) remember her birthday, want to buy, but don't know what to buy
4) remember her birthday, but don't want to buy

so which is the worst??

for me i think this case shld classify under explanation 2 and 3....initially it comes under don't know what to buy.....slowly it evolved into forgetting to buy......ahaha....but for 5 months...hm...like the first case...this is atrocious...haha....even i myself can't believe it...

why the delay in both cases? only one word to describe this....LAZINESS....i tried to find excuses for myself by telling myself that i'm just being forgetful....but that's not the truth! its because i didn't put in enough effort to remember it! i'm just too lazy to remember it...ahahaha....
if i actually make an effort to remember...i would have given the photos long ago!
if i actually make an effort to buy Lemon Tea the present, i would have been more enthusiastic in asking her what she prefer....and wouldn't have waited so long to buy her a Lemon Tea fragrance from Body Shop! by the way, Lemon Tea....thanx for waiting!

this has been a bad habit ever since young.......whenever my mum told me to do something i'll always reply her "give me a moment".......in the end, i'll forget what i'm suppose to do....ahahah....how can i ever get rid of this bad habit of laziness?? I need some help....
