The Story Of Us

Yup…those were the most frequent and famous questions asked from many of our friends…i couldn’t agree more with Emy’s answers. i would have answered the same…hmm..i guess only a twin knows how it feels to have a twin..hehe…

Well as what Emy has written in her version,we really did spend years of wonderful and unforgettable moments together..i will never forget the times when we shared our meal together, went for outings,attended classes and everything lah!

We even attended the same job interview and guess what? Both of us got the job at the same workplace,Kolej Yayasan Terengganu as English lecturers. The students there got mixed up and confused between us.Haha pity them..There’s one student of mine, a boy who was really confident that he greeted me and gave a smile to Emy (actually )and eventually was embarassed of his mistake. Emy’s student was smarter to take note the difference between us at that time.She noticed that Emy’s pencil case was pink in colour and mine was blue so she had no problem to identify which one was which.We got to know about this when she herself told the secret.

So ,that was our first experience working together.Then we moved on to our seperate ways but still in the same line-teaching..Now both of us are married and less time are spent together. We only get to see each other during the weekends.Luckily both of us are not that far away!

Another memorable event that i will never ever forget is our wedding day.Yes..you got it right.Our wedding ceremony was on the same day.What a double celebration we had! Luckily our spouses are not twins as well!

i also want to take this opportunity to jot down a few words to my deraest and beloved twin,Emy. Firstly thank you for your kind and thoughtful words which really touched my heart.You’ve really done so many great things to me and my family.Always know that even we are not so close as before because of time and distance,my love for you is always the same.No one can take your special spot deep in my heart.Thank you too for being the greatest friend..

Are you guys a twin? Who’s the elder one? Is it fun to be a twin? What was it like to be a twin? Have you ever quarelled? How do we differentiate both of you? Do you both like the same things? These were the popular questions that we had to encounter when new people get to know us. Luckily, we learned to be used to it. Sometimes when we were walking to the market, people will stare at us as if we are aliens! Haloo..seeing double eh? Actually we’re not identical twin, we’re fratenal twin, but many people said we look very much alike. Those who are very close to us can know the difference, right!

Wonder why we shared the same account for friendster? What! You don’t get it do you? It’s simply because to enable friends out there to reach us simultaneously. Is’nt that great? By the way, don’t you think it’s unique? 2 in 1 haha..

To answer some of the questions above, well for me, I would say being a twin is the best gift that Allah had given me. We had gone through a lot of wonderful and painful times together, shared from tiny to big secrets, wearing the same but not similar clothes, gone to the same classes, school and university and even had the same course! Are’nt we lucky huh? Boy, that was the sweetest moment we had, our journey from matriculation to degree. Imagine for 6 years we managed to stay in the same hostel and room! Haha..we were like "belangkas", everywhere we go must always be together, but there were times that we had to go separately because of different schedule. That was not a problem at all!

Hmm..to flashback our times during secondary school. We went to the same class until form 2 then starting from form 3 to form 5, we were in different classes and different streams. I remembered when my class held a class party somewhere like at KFC, I would invite Eny to join along. It would’nt be fun if she’s not around. Same goes like if someone treats me with some chocolate, I would’nt eat it on the spot instead I will save it and share it with Eny. During my form 5 farewell party held at PCB, Eny also joined the club. It seemed that all my classmates understood and they can accept Eny very well. It’s kinda difficult to explain why I want Eny to involve in every occasion that I had, probably because of our relationship that we shared is so close up till now. I think twins out there can understand right?

My aunty once joked that both of us are inseparable and sang a phrase from a famous song which sounds like this " Jangan pisahkan…aku dan dia…" It’s not like that we could not live apart from each other. It’s just that we want to take full advantage of the time we have and able to share together. We wanted to spend and cherish our time together as much as we could. So when the times come for us to lead our own life, then we welcome it with open arms and heart.

So I would like to take this opportunity to express my feeling from the bottom of my heart to my beloved twin, Eny. Though we rarely say it aloud or express it through writings, I just want you to know that I will always love you, care for you and be with you through ups and down, lend you my shoulder to cry on and pray for your happiness with your family. Although we now have our own life and family, but the sister bonding that ties us close will never die. Thank you for being such a wonderful twin!

Love, Emy
