Photographic Memory?

Al said I have the gift of photographic memory. I wonder how deep true this is. He said that cos I can read maps and know how to put it to reality. He said I can draw out the venue plan just like that with 1 glance. Yeah. I can do that. Went into a house for first time, I can draw the whole house plan (not at scale of course) out.

Went to a restaurant, I know how to work things out. Draw the plan. Decide immediately what I can do for my event on that place. Yes. No. Stuff like that.

I can do that even on the first day I worked as an event organizer. Which impressed my then-manager. Hah.

I think I can memorize certain things. Just not words. Just not words.
Until today, I cant speak good grammar english language. I am still struggling to get words right. While speaking, sometimes I am lost in words. But when typing out like this, I can do it.

Yeah. I failed stewardess exam cos of public speaking. I remembered I was asked to speak for 5 minutes in front of 800 people and 10 judges. I remember me constructing what I wanted to say before my turn. But when I was on top, no matter what I wrote on the hand, my mind goes blank. Nothing come out from my mouth.

Maybe I have photographic memory.

I can replay chess position after 1 game last time. I can see what the author of the story book brings me to. green grass on top of the hill, a girl spreading her hands wide open, breeze sweeping across her face..flowers dancing together with her..stuff like that.
But I think this is not photographic memory. This is imagination.

I can remember practical stuff more than theorical. I never like reading whole bunch of news and remembering all words. Not like Kim Peek (see the case of Kim Peek). I guess I remember some stuff better and other stuff not.
