#26 - Kidal

I am lefties. Dominannya aku kidal. Menulis, angkat barang, menjahit, pegang mouse aku guna tangan kiri. Melukis, mewarna and pegang shopping bag guna tangan kanan. Aku kurang suka dengan gunting, can opener and semua yang sekutu dengannya sebab ia menyusahkan aku. -.- tapi legties lebih mudah adapt dengan tools yang didesign untuk righty sebab yes, our world is so full with it compared to righty try to use a leftie tools.

Pengalaman aku dalam lecture bila duk scribble notes yang penting, my left elbow selalu terkena dengan kawan di sebelah yang righty. so I tend to find a seat yang di tepi sekali.
