hi mar_mum, my gal may b able 2 sit stil 4 a while, but ur planning is superb. u hv arranged gd 'seats' for her & others
hi Abyane, u say ur gal like boy? wait until the next gathering where the chldrn get to run abt, than you wl notice who the real rascal is ;-P
hi earnestmum, when we arrange 2 meet cat, we shal count u in.
hi ling, the other day we were discussing abt lefties, unfortunately not-so-gd-thgs. JP & I are lefties, & we did/ do nt enjoy being 1. For JP, her dad needed 2 buy left-handed tools 2 aid in her work during younger days. 4 me, besides being 'clumsy' & 'messy' all the time (which results in low esteem), i did nt encounter other disadvantages, until, aft i got my rite-handed guitar & when i become a 'household manager'.
nt sure abr JP, but i'm relieved rei is likely a rightie. hey JP, how abt u?
nonetheless, fret not 4 ladies who hv got chldrn who are likely lefties. since we are getting well informed ea year abt the rite-brainers (lefties, that is), we wl b able 2 tap on their potential, noeing the dos & donts when handling a leftie.
Oh yes, here are facts abt lefties dat mommies wl b hearten 2 c, & 4 some, avoid lah!
1. During ancient times, lefties are mostly considered 'evil', 'sinister' etc. but in this era, research has shown otherwise.
2. Officials in Mensa, the high IQ society believe as many as 20% of their members are left-handed.
3. Popular lefties: Bill Gates (bizman), Albert einstein (scientist), Michelangelo (artist), Leonard Da Vinci (artist), Jean-Paul Gaultier(designer), Tom Cruise (actor), Nicole kidman (actress), Brad Pitt (actor), Agelina Jolie (actress), Whoopi Goldberg (actress), phil colins (singer), Kurt Cobain (singer), Pablo Casals (cellist), celine dion (singer), Mozart (composer), david foster (composer), Paul macCartney (guitarist/ writer), jimmy hendrix (guitarist/ singer), jack the ripper (serial killer), black panther (famous murderer), Dylan Bennet Klebold (gifted but ended up Columbine High sch massacre), Winston Churchill (leader), Lee Hsien Loong (PM), Julius Caesar (King), Alexandra the Great (King), George Bush (leader), Bill clinton (leader), Joan of Arch (saint), son of ronald reagan, john f kennedy (leader), Steve forbe (bizman), thomas jefferson (leader), prince william, henry ford -father & son (inventor & bizman).
4. most lefties excel in arts, music, IT, acting, business, sports - baseball, football, scientists, entrepreneurs, inventors & leaders. in fact, 1 1 in 4 Apollo astronauts were left-handed - 250% more than the normal level. & the 1st astronaut is a leftie.
5. Lefties are great in one-handed/ legged competitive sports. Eg, Football, table-tennis, tennis, baseball, basketball, boxing etc.
6.docs have difficulty adjusting 2 right-hand equipt, & get cold feet when a right-handed senior coach them (this means they have to pick up skills themselves). abt 45% of leftie docs do nt wish another leftie 2 operate on them.
7. Lefties are more likely to suffer autism, ADHD & dyslexia than righties.
8. do lefties feel advantaged or dsadvantaged? over 50% say no diff, over 30% say disadvant, 19% say advantaged. I belong 2 the 30% grp, basically becos i'm nt in the above recommended careers, & my sports are nt related 2 handedness.i wl consider gettg in2 such careers & games in future.
hope these help prevent another chld fr getting 'victimised'.

chic_mum - Hey, no worries about being a left-hander lah! The world is improving. My cousin who is a surgeon is also a left-hander and now they have tools designed for left-handers. We may have some difficulties in the 80s but once I am in the working world, everything is OK lah.

Hi Ladies,
Wow, I'm sure I've missed out lots. Back from Shanghai with my girls. Hubby still in China.
I'm sorry that I would not be able to host the 13Jun meeting. It's my DD2's 4th birthday and that afternoon, my hubby is leaving for China again! Our family will probably be at the airport at that time.
Hope you ladies can find an alternate location. Have fun.
