Is this an okay translation of 'why didn't I think of that.'
I want to say 'ah, good idea, why didn't I think of that!'

The only way I can think to translate it might be '啊，好主意，我为什么不是这样想的呢！

Is this okay? How would you translate it?

Thank you

Answer

I think the translation about ＂Why didn't I think of that＂is better to be 我为什么没有想到（这个好主意）呢？For the translation of 我为什么不是这样想的呢，I think the sentence should be ＂why didn't I think like that！＂For your reference. ：）

Answer

啊!對呀,我怎麼沒想到呢?

Answer

哇，好主意，我咋没想到呢？   你那个也可以呀

Answer

You could just say :"啊～對 我怎麼沒想到呢 or 咧？(didn't think of that idea at first)

Answer

通俗一点，可以说：对呀，我怎么没想到呢！？
