Salam everyone!
Huarrgghh....aku mmg da jd Vampire ar skunk.
Siang2 tido, mlm2 bjage.
I think I'm experiencing Insomnia or something.
Well, this brings me to my topic for this entry.
(Not about insomnia or vampires if that's what
y'all thinking)
Calling all Lefties! Yes you!
For my discussion today will be about you.
Well, about us actually.
Ngahaha...
Korunk mst tau kan ape itu left-handed?
Well, trimas utk Mr. Wiki, it's actually a preference for
the left hand over the right for everyday activities such as writing.
Ok2, klu dlm BM kidal la.
Tp aku xske sgt pkataan tuh.
Xtau la nape. :P
Being a lefty I can say there are lot of pros and cons to it.
But, let me make myself clear, I am 100% proud of being a lefty.
Of course being a left-handed individual, I often take interest in others
that share my...well, UNIQUENESS.
Yes, I am excited to use the word 'unique' given the fact that us lefties are unique.
Bcoz we are among the 10 to 30% of people that use our left hand to do stuff.
Msti korunk ttnye kan nape skunk?
Why now the sudden interest.
Setelah 21 taun aku idop bru skunk nk amek tau.
Ngahaha...Ske ati aku lah.
Anyhoo, aku nk cite la sket facts about lefties nih.
Asal usul nye smpai skunk xde lagi kajian mnyeluruh pasal ktrg ni.
Bnyk gak la kajian (ade yg mcm merapu) dan cite2 dongeng zaman2 dulu.
Tp, setelah aku mng'yahoo' kat Mr. Tenet nih, dpt la bape2 theory.
Again, ehsan dr Mr. Wiki, one theory says that lefties are suppose to have twins.
This theory is called Vanishing-twin theory.
This theory says that left-handed individuals were originally part of an identical twin pair.
But the right-handed twin failed to developed.
(So, does that mean I was supposed to have a twin? Haha, imagining 'two' of me is making me laugh!)
Of course lah kan, sounds crazy ain't it?
Theory ni mmg kne pgkah awal2 by researchers.
Moving on, 2nd theory, Long-term impairment of the right hand.
Meaning klu tgn kanan kt cedera, automatik tgn kiri akan amek alih (takes time)
dan akan jd permanent walaupon after tgn kanan kt da sembuh.
Sweet huh? Our body works on such an amazing ways kan3?
In other words, ini bkn left-handed semulajadi yer.
Left-handed semulajadi starts in the womb.
Specifically, which hand is held closer to our mouth.
Ok2, ade lagi lah theory.
Based on my own digging, I've come to realized that,
org zamn2 dulu had bad ideas on lefties.
Well, mainly the word itself.
But, it's not about our hand orientation isn't it?
Quick, interesting facts about lefties (some can be argue):
1) More men than women
2) High tendency in twins for one of them being a lefty
3) Most left-handers draw figures facing to the right.
4) Left-handers adjust more readily to seeing underwater.
5) Left-handers are also known as 'southpaw'
6) Have a sense of leadership, a quick thinkers and likely to be gay (don't look at me)
7) Independent : we have to get along in a world that's not made for us (i.e. tools)
8) We are adaptable cause we can use our right hand to do tasks much easier than a righty can use his hand. Left-handed people seem to be able to switch over more easily.
9) Have a slight more resistant to stresses
10) Generally believed to be more artistic, and perhaps even more prone to genius – this is given the fact that the right side of our brain, which controls visual and creative functions, is more developed. (I like this fact haha..)
11) Tend to be more awkward and clumsy (yea, sometimes...ok all the time)
12) Once believed that lefties or Southpaws were more likely to be dyslexic, schizophrenic and stutterers (I am definitely NOT all of these! Thank God)
Ok, so actually there are loads more of those facts.
But er, I think my entry is getting a lil' bit longer than it should have.
Btw, sape2 yg kt org lefty xidop lame, is totally WRONG!
Jgn percaye. Drg percaye cmtu sbb yelah, org kidal kene gune brg org tgn kanan.
Of course we'll get hurt.
Wokeh, I should probably stop now.
Like I said, some of the facts are open for debate, but some seem to hold true.
Anyhoo, I like being a lefty.
Cause I like being unique.
Owh, and for all of lefties out there, Left-Hander's Day is on August 13th.
Hahaha...
p/s: ske tgk guys yg lefty. Sgt chumel!
