Everyone in my family wears their watch on the right wrist. But the only lefthanded one is Edrick. It was just a matter of preference, at first. And when we realized that many of us have been doing so, all of us somewhat decided to make it sort of a ‘family thing’ kind of thing. Like, yeah! Let’s all wear our watch on our right hand, Supian Clan!

It once became a discussion between myself and Brother Jay who looked at it from the practicality point of view. Well, I do understand why a watch has to be worn on the left wrist if one is righthanded, and vice versa. Nice and practical, yes. But all I go by is comfort. I like wearing my watch on the right wrist and I don’t know why. I don’t have to know why. And since my siblings, my dad and mom felt the same way, we just did it and now keep on doing it just because. We don’t have to have a reason. Or do we?

I guess being a practical person like Brother Jay, everything has to adhere to a principle as well. As practical as not getting one’s watch shaken too much by the superior hand, one shall wear the watch on the subordinate hand. Fine and dandy. And that’s the way it should be, eh?

Hmmm… patutlah!

I wear mine at the same place too. But now I think I know why the rigthhanders should wear on their left hand.
It’s because we do most of the things with the right hand like washing and cleaning and bathing kids or cats or apa2 je la. And I always and always forget to take it off, so basahlah jam dan rosaklah jam murahan I tu. But still I wear it on my right hand.
I wear my watch on my right hand 🙂
