Righty ?

When I say Righty in the title.
I don't mean I'm actually right-handed.
I'm still a lefty. (Additional info for those who didn't know)

So what's with the title ?
Well, I was doing this quiz the other day.
It was suppose to help identify myself as a left/right brain dominant student.
Apparently, left and right BDS have different learning styles.
To my surprise (because I'm a supporter of all things LEFT),
they told me I was a right brain dominant student.

I know I probably shouldn't believe these 'myths'.
But hey !
Everyone's curious about somethings, right ?
Let's see what the quiz has to say about me ?

You are a right brain dominant student!

You probably get bored during long lectures and
 prefer to take classes with a lot of freedom of movement and thought.
You like to write stories and even tell stories about your funny experiences.
 You might be a little suspicious of other people's motives sometimes,
 but that's only because you can usually tell whenever someone is lying or
 when they're up to no good.
 You are a little on the dreamy side--or a lot.
You plan books or movie plots
but you don't always follow through on things you think about.
 You should work on that. You are fun and spontaneous,
 and probably active in sports or clubs. Your feelings run deep,
 and it shows. You have strong instincts,
 and you solve problems on hunches and feelings.
You are artistic in some way.
You can believe in things based on experience,
without seeing scientific proof.
You might be a finalist on Survivor some day,
 since you know how to read people so well,
and you have great survival instincts.

DISSECTION TIME ! (Hope I interpret them correctly)

I do tend to fall asleep during lots of ceramahs. 
Especially if I did not get enough sleep the night before.
But then again, who doesn't ?
I do fall asleep in class though....quite frequently too...
I would like it if I was given more freedom during class.
But then again bad things always happen.
*Remembering all the chaotic PEKAs during Chemistry*
No hands-on please...

Back then, when you could actually write a story in your essay section,
I always wrote about real-life events.
Stuff like Epic Marching during Sports Day and 
Graduation Day.
I actually wrote a story about graduation for my SPM.
In the perspective of Lightning (I used her real name, Claire).
With an added pinch of romance.
I really thought it was corny and I didn't have enough time.
So the whole climax/'I love you' scene was pretty rushed.
Still got an A.

Well, I'm a really cautious person...at the wrong times.
I am kinda superstitious about what other people are thinking/doing.
Smelling through a lie is hard for anyone.
But if you give me just the tinniest hint.
I will HUNT you down through the excessive use of the World Wide Web,
until I find undeniable proof of whatever-I-wanna-accuse-you-of-of-being-a-*****
Well, depends on my mood.

I always love dreaming about stuff.
Especially when I'm sleeping... Feels so good !
When I was just got into Primary School, 
I loved daydreaming (or what my teacher told my mom "Building Sandcastles in the Air)
She was very true though.
I do daydream a lot in class.
Ironically, my first grade teacher wrote that I'm a very focused student in class.
Not so well in the second grade.
It was probably from all the cartoons that I watch 
(also the reason for my above-average English).
I still daydream nowadays, in class too.
Just about more practical and realistic things,
not how the Evil Emperor Zurg will finally defeat Buzz Lightyear.
Or how Queen Bansheera succeeds in destroying the Power Rangers' Megazords.
Or how Yugi can win in a duel with the evil Marik.
Oh wait, I still daydream about duels...
Haha, some people just never grow up.
Like I said, I love stories.
I love writing stories compared to writing those boring '5 points' essays.
Writting stories just allow for so much freedom.
I spent a lot of my time thinking about different stories too.
Animes are my main muse.

I ended up 'collaborating' with Crys and Char in Form 5.
We were suppose to make a Maple Story-based animation story.
But of course, we were young, gullible, oh and did I mention I procrastinate ?
We ended wasting quite a lot of time but it was very fun.
Turning what we dreamt of into reality (well, close enough)
We could decide what the main character's clothes, personality, abilities EVERYTHING.
Of course, we stopped at the animation part.
Because we didn't know how XD
And our animator, Crys, just didn't (ever) feel in the mood.
So the project was at a standstill.
All in all, it was really fun.
We were planning to call the show Oddsey 4, in case you didn't know.
You can view the tiny short 'teaser' video on my Facebook video profile.
And I was too lazy, and lacked proper vocabulary and skills to turn it into a short novel.
I'll try to improve my English while I'm over here.
And maybe write a little ameteur story or something.
Oh well, did I mention it was real fun ?
You should try it too !

Am I fun ?
Am I spontaneous ?
Well I wouldn't wanna humbrag (being humble+bragging at the same time).
So I won't answer my own question.
But people used to describe me as "random",
before Sonia's mom from PLKN gave me the perfect word
to describe myself :
ECCENTRIC.
And I like it =P
*humbrags*

I feel that it's quite apparent,
but I'm not active in any clubs whatsoever.
As a matter of fact, I kinda hate exercising.
Well, going to the gym is the only way I can burn off some fats.
I hate jogging in the park, where you cover ACTUAL distance,
might get lost and have to walk the whole way back to the starting point when you're done.
Am I active in clubs ?
Does the library count ?
I wouldn't wanna sound like a nerd sticking to his library or anything.
But I had fun. I kept me alive and made me feel 'useful' in a way.
It also made me feel 'used' in a way. LOL.
I can safely say 'I've learned a lot from this experience'
I browse like a pro in the library over here.
It's awesome when you know where to find the books that you want.
I hope I can still be an active part of my future clubs.

My feelings run deep ?
Well sometimes.
I still can't cry unless something really bad happens.
Or if it's a Chinese made-for-tears movie.
I don't think I'm THAT transparent.
People don't usually ask me "What's wrong"
So  I suppose I'm covering up my feelings pretty well.

I've never tested my instincts before.
But I always have trouble thinking and deciding over the most trivial things.
Case in point :

*Waiting for bus at bus stop*
OMG OMG OMG Where should I sit.
Can't afford to go on bus then decide.
I'll be blocking the people behind me.
And if I hesitate they might overtake me and steal my seat.
Ok I should walk in from the back door 'cuz they're usually more seats at the back.
NONONONO most of the passengers go out from the back.,
They'll delay me and the other people who went up from the front would've gotten all the seats.
Then maybe I should board the bus from the front.
OMG But the other people waiting for the bus are senior citizens.
Can't disrecpect them, must let them up first.
So I guess that means I'll have to risk boarding from the back door.
Old people are usually slow right ?
What if they are walking past the back door while I'm boarding ?
Should I let them go pass me first so should I seize the opportunity and rush to the back ?
*Keeps on thinking*
OMG BUS IS HERE !?
Ok I'll just line-up behind the seniors.
It's not like I can't stand right ?
*Doors open*
OMG No one is coming out from the back door.
I can rush in !
Oh but that'll look so uncool.
What if the other passengers saw me ?
*Moves a bit but hesitates*

And it goes ON AND ON AND ON AND ON.
I could keep going, I won't.
For your sakes =D
In short, I have terrible instincts.
And I thought "feelings" are the reasons why bad relationships turn out worse ?

Ok, I'll be frank with you all.
I suck at arts (pardon the vulgar. I just thought it was necessary).
When I was a little boy, my second ambition was to be an artist.
However, I soon found out, I just didn't have it in me.
Perhaps I'm more of the calculative type ?
Nope sucks at Math too !
I remember my mom asking me when I was entering my final year of Kindergarten :
"Do you want to take part in any after-school activities ? Like Drawing or Music ?"
What I heard was :
"CHOOSE.ARTS.MUSIC.NOW ! Or else you won't have a future. You'll get expelled !"
So I chose Arts.
I love Arts (at that age).
Until I found out it was boring and tough.
I wasn't so interested.
I would've chose Music.
But learning an instrument is tough.
Those music notes were like a foreign language to me.
Didn't know whether I could handle it.

I think experience is a very important thing.
It's CRUCIAL....
And it's true.
I just feel that there's too many factors affecting something.
Scientific facts might not always be right.
Remember. Random Errors.
And I more of a Trial and Error kind of person.
Maybe it's 'cuz those Errors always happen so unexpectedly.

Nope, I'd probably lose in Survivor.
I can't even survive in my backyard for one night.
Perhaps I can read people well enough,
but still I suppose I lack innovation...
And once again, I have BAD survival skills.

Well, that's all for now.
I'll do another boring long short post again soon.
