I have problem with Word Usage
When talking to my friend, I’d like to say some events that we have done in the past. I am confused about the usage for this.
- “As far as I remember what we’ve done: (I'm beginning to tell) We liked to get together....”
- ”Let me try to remember what we've done: ( I'm beginning to tell) We liked to get together...”
Which of the above is correct? Would you please help to determine or you can give me another suggestion if needed. Thank you!

"As far as I remember" (or, more usually "as far as I can remember" is a concessive clause, meaning that the speaker is not certain of the accuracy of their memories, or wishes to claim that they are not certain of it. It is usually used as a clause within the sentence (separated by a comma), not as a separate sentence or colon-separated sentence.
