Twins.

I have recently found my long lost twin's blog. You see, despite the fact that we are twins, I was born September 4th 1989 and she was born September 9th 1988 (note the difference in years). We live far apart from each other: I in Malaysia and she in Glasgow.


I remembered the first time seeing her. It was during my boarding school orientation week, in the dining hall having supper that i realized i saw someone really familiar. I mean how can there be another beauty such as i myself in this world! (Oh didn't i tell you I'm a narcissist?) Anyway, back to the story, I was rudely staring I'm sure.... She had long hair, (Ikal mayang?), tan skin, big dark brown eyes, gleaming white teeth and a bright smile. I was awe-struck! Cantiknya! Macam muka aku!I was seated right in front of her. Or wait, maybe diagonally. My weak human brain has a fuzzy memory of that part. But i was like sitting in front of a mirror. The night ended shortly afterwards without me knowing her name. I knew i was looking for a tag but I couldn't find any. HAH!

Later on, I realized I didnt look anything like her. I just thought that we had the same tanned skin (VERY TAN =)) and button noses. I mean, my teeth will never be that white or huge! hehe. Oh and we had the same build (before she went all anorexic on me - its a natural course for her. runs in the family. she's not an actual anorexic). So I left that train of thought wonder off on its own.

Then, when I finally got accepted to KYS, i found out that she was too. She was friends with Arthini since birth maybe. And she cut her loonnng loonnng hair! We were not close to begin with but I was close to Arthini so our bond sorta grew. Little did i know that soon, after a few months, or was it a whole year. I noticed that some students or teachers would call me Izati instead of Elisha. Elisha kan lagi sedap namanya. But Izati lagi popular. NGEE!!

And so the story where we got mixed up continues despite the fact that we are entirely in different classes for three years. What entails are far more important.
It wasn't the fact that we had similar features.
It wasn't the fact that we were indistinguishable.
It wasn't the fact that we had our birthdays close to each other.


It was the fact that we grew inseparable.
It was the fact that we shared secrets and carried burdens and solved problems together.
It was the fact that we somehow have a mental connection and can finish each other's sentences.
It was the fact that we laugh the loudest, cry the hardest and love the deepest.
It was the fact that we were the craziest and we gossip only among tight 6-lady group.
It was the fact that if i were to lose her one day, I'd feel a big part of me gone too.



And for that, we called ourselves twins.
I'm Twinz, She's Twinzy.

Somehow miraculously, our bond was never ruined, if not tightened, over the years that we grew apart physically in different continents. Half way across each other's world. A call to Glasgow ain't cheap! We manage somehow with technology. What with msn, and facebook, and blogs. To begin with, we don't usually see each other and have girls day out. But we have the IZATI-ELISHA ANNUAL SLEEPOVER! Haaa power tak?? teehee. But next year i doubt it can happen cause I'll be in Seremban and she might be coming back for only three weeks. I don't want to be selfish. Maybe i can bunk in with her this time. Seremban and Kajang is closer than Kota D with KJ right?

I look forward to seeing her become a successful pharmacist.
I look forward to having more trips with her when we're older and have lotsa money!
Basically, I look forward to being the one by her side till I'm old and wilting.

Love you Izati Md Ikram

Ever ready to extend my hand of friendship. Welcome to my blog.
