The new friends I make will discover that I don't that any Mother Tongue,
And thus would proceed to ask me.
"Why arh?"
And most of the time,
I only know how to respond with a unsatisfactory
"Oh, it's a learning disability."
So, if you've ever been one of those people who have asked,
But yet still wonder, ponder,
And check wikipedia only to find nothing understandable,
This post is for you.
And I'm lazy to come up with my own material,
So yeah.

Dyslexia results from a neurological difference; that is, a brain difference.
People with dyslexia have a larger right-hemisphere in their brains than those of normal readers.
That may be one reason people with dyslexia often have significant strengths
in areas controlled by the right-side of the brain,
such as artistic, athletic, and mechanical gifts; 3-D visualization ability; musical talent;
creative problem solving skills; and intuitive people skills.
In addition to unique brain architecture, people with dyslexia have unusual "wiring".
Neurons are found in unusual places in the brain, and are not as neatly ordered as in non-dyslexic brains.
In addition to unique brain architecture and unusual wiring,
f/MRI studies have shown that people with dyslexia do not use the same part of their brain when reading as other people.
Regular readers consistently use the same part of their brain when they read.
People with dyslexia do not use that part of their brain,
and there appears to be no consistent part used among dyslexic readers.
It is therefore assumed that people with dyslexia are not using the most efficient part of their brain when they read.
A different part of their brain has taken over that function.
And if that was too "chim",
Dyslexia is an inherited condition that makes it extremely difficult to read,
write, and spell in your native language despite at least average intelligence.

And that is why I don't take Chinese for my "O" levels,
I tend to miss out my contractions while speaking and
Why I take a longer time to understand math.
But it's also what makes me unique.
Today, I didn't really do anything notable.
I had Band practice,
Had Remedial,
Went to make my passport at the ICA where I waited for 2 long hours,
Had Piano lessons,
And learnt how to play "Rooftops" by the Lostprophets on the acoustic guitar.
The end.
