Word of the Day

I'm sure everyone has encountered a situation where you know you know a word but at that point in time, that word had slipped your mind. It is a frustrating and funny scenario that just bugs your mind all day.

For me, it's usually an image in my mind where I can see the definition but not the word itself.

Thanks to Dictionary.com, I finally found out that there is a designated word to express this condition - "Lethologica". So the next time you can't recall a word, you can proudly say that you have lethologica. Unless of course, if the word you're trying to remember is 'lethologica' itself!

Trudging Uphill

I used to think that I adapt to changes quite well. But this, by far, is probably the most challenging change I'm trying to acclimatise to. Every day I'm on tenterhooks, half expecting something unpleasant to fall unto me - either something that I could've missed out or done wrongly or forgotten to do.
