In the Lift all by Myself!

I was never so scared in my life. I was all alone in the lift, imagine that, just me in that small box!!! Can only see my own reflection at the mirrors surrounding me...
I was waiting for mummy and daddy in the lift and the next moment, I saw the lift closing! Ahhhhhhh....I panicked! But I can only cry..
I saw the last bit of mummy and daddy when the lift went down. My face turned as white as sheet...What is going to happen to me!! OMG!
Will I see my mummy and daddy again?? Mama!!!! Mama!! sobbb......
At last the lift stopped at the first floor, I must have pressed 1 for the ground floor....I dashed out of the lift immediately, but I couldn't see mummy and daddy so i dashed into the lift again...
At that moment, someone grabbed my hands....
Yes, it's my daddy and mummy...I am so happy !!!!
But I still threw up like usual whenever I cried too much..Yucks!! Wasted nanny's food...sigh..
Luckily mummy and daddy came to my rescue on time.
Will never go into the lift without holding hands now. Not when i am much older...

How long do u need to remember 20 items in the correct sequence?

Memory Management

When I was asked this question for the first time, I was really stumped. Really, I don't really know whether I could do that. But I really did it after visualising and associating the items one after another and i could really name these items in the correct sequence...in less than 3 minutes.

See if you can do it too.

National Library
Book
Feather
Eye
Car
Aeroplane
Stadium
Soccer
Scooter
TV
Moon
River
Flowers
Rocket
Traffic Light
Monkey
Swimming Pool
BriefCase


Haha...not bad. can still remember 18 out of 20 words in the correct sequence..after after few days later..

At least prove one thing, this technique really work!

I can still remember the story associating these items...

"Imagine you are at this National Library, opening a book...you see a feather..u use the feather to poke your eye and out from your eye came out a car...The car flew into the sky like an aeroplane..crashed into a stadium..in the stadium, there was this soccer ball...u cut the soccer ball into half and u saw a scooter inside...behind the scooter there's a TV...On the TV, there's a moon, the moon fell into the river...On the river, there were a lot of flowers...the flowers shoot up into the sky like a rocket...and crash onto a traffic light....then there's the monkey on the traffic light and it jump into the swimming pool...in the swimming pool, there's a briefcase..."
