like my own hp number after not using it for a few months,
the day i entered the army,
and certain facts which everyone seems to know about.
like handphone models, and if you're a guy the different types of cars...

Depends on the amount of interest that u have in the information. If u connect it with some other event, possibility of ur remembering it is better. If u donot use ur memory faculty much, it tends to die down and this is exactly the reason for senility in old age. The first symtom of loss of memory comes in ur capacity to reproduce the names.

There is nothing wrong there... just because you can't remember small things like that doesnt make you mental... You cant remember your own hp number because you've only started using the number not long before you stopped. You cant remember the day you entered the army? I cant remember the day i entered high school.
You can only remember things if you made a mental effort to remember them. I don't know the latest handphone models, especially if it is not Nokia since i am a loyal Nokia fan, and i only make an effort to learn up on the latest models when i need to buy a new phone.
You can't remember certain facts which everyone seems to know about because you probably didn't know about those facts in the first place.
Either that, or you're just plain forgetful or suffering from amnesia

There is a thing called selective memory, or short term memory. As we get older, we realize that to keep on learning and to keep on observing, we have to let go of excess information.

Injuries, anaesthesia during surgeries, traumatic events, are some reasons why we dont remember as much as others do.

maybe you don't remember things that you are not interested in.
guys can remember different type of cars, because they make the effort to remember so that they can compare with the next type of car they see.
like me, i'm interested and intrigued with numbers, so i remember all the numbers sometimes down to the very last cent of whatever i saw last week.
different people have different type of memories.
you will be different in your own way and you will remember things other people don't.

Not everyone can remember that stuff easily.I can't either!There is so much going on in life that your brain eventually sticks things it doesn't currently need to the back.If there are things you need to remember,make a list or something and glance over it occasionaly.
