If only life is fair... -Double Trouble-

It's not long before I got to see double. Yup, it's time to bring in the twins into this story cause every story needs a guy in it, but this is better cause the guy happen to have a twin brother.

Usually, Haliunaa, Hooi Ling, Nicole and I would always go to college together on the shuttle bus together in the morning for our morning classes. We would always arrive 15 minutes early to college and just spend that time talking in front of their English class since I and Hooi Ling had nothing better to do in the morning. It was still that period of time where Hooi Ling and Haliunaa kept teasing Nicole with the twins. I'm curious to see them and so was Hooi Ling but the boys weren't there till the last minute. We were leaving for our class and Haliunaa pointed out the boys. They were climbing up the stairs and cause I was rushing for time since I didn't like to be late for classes, I only noticed one of them. His name is Bayarbatar but call him Baadai, same age as I, wearing white with a red checkered shirt on top, short trimmed hair and kind of cute. Oh yeah, and he had piercings in his ear. How cool is that? Maybe I had glaced a moment at the brother, but I just can't remember and I didn't dare to stare at them for more than a second cause I wouldn't wanna be caught staring. The twin brother, his name is Bayarbat and we know him as Badu. Haliunaa asked my opinion on how they looked and I said, not bad. Haha! They were cute but still average looking and common. Lol.

It wasn't hard to differentiate the two apart. One had really short and trimmed hair and the other normal with a slight faux hawk hairstyle. Besides, one likes to wear black and the other is always seen wearing white. How cute is that? Their face is also different but I just can't figure out what the difference is. No doubt they look really alike since they were twins, but there was a feature in their face that made them look different. I guess I'll never figure it out cause till today, I just can't figure it out. Haha...

Then, came the day Haliunaa wanted to introduce I and Hooi Ling to the twins. We planed to eat at some Mamak shop the twins wanted to bring Haliunaa to, which the twins thought was an Indian shop. I had to work in the I-lab that day and Hooi Ling accompanied me while I was working. Sudenly, one of the twins came in and I just couldn't help smiling cause I knew him but he didnt know me and he had no idea that we were about to eat lunch together very soon. Ironic right. It was hard comtrolling my facial expressions and Hooi Ling was like telling me about the ironic information. That was the first time I had clear sight of him and the irony continues when I had to help him with the printer thing. Stupid Queueserver thing! Thank God I don't have to deal with that problem anymore today since they upgraded the server. I acted as if he was just another student and wanted to do something funny, but of course I didn't. Haha. He left after he printed his assignments.

Haliunaa and Nicole was waiting outside and after I finished my shift, went to meet up with them. It seems that we will meet up with the other twin which was Baadai downstairs and wait for Badu before going down. He must be handing in his recently printed assignment and when he was walking towards us, I just didn't know where to look at. He was suprised of course and we introduced each other. We didn't shake hands or anything, just acknowledged each other and I guess we were all shy accept for Haliunaa of course. I notice that Badu is kind of shy and a little bit more to himself kind of person. Quiet and reserved. When we met Baadai downstairs, the way he greeted us was totally different and that was when I noticed how different their personalities was. Baadai was cheerful, friendly and had the joyous smile I've ever seen. I was shy and just said a simple hi to him. I think he noticed that and just smiled at me. Hooi Ling on the other hand, got a hand shake with him. Haha! She was suprised and all shy about it. Lol.

We walked and we walked till we reached the shop. It wasn't easy to feel comfortable with them cause everthing felt so awkward and funny in a way, but I still tried to be friendly and just smile. They did asked me some funny questions and I felt happy to answer those questions eventhough they had no idea what the hell I was talking about. Haliunaa had to translate everything and most of the conversation was between themselves which was really interesting to me. I love listening to people communicating in their own language eventhough I have no clue whatsoever what they are talking about. For me, it's just so interesting. Even sign language is fun to watch.

I guess the friendship started when the boys moved into the same building as us. we lived in the fifth floor and they moved into the eight floor. Their first visit, it was still all awkward and silent. I remember I, Hooi Ling and Haliunaa just came back from watching Alice in Wonderland 3D that day. Nicole, Huei and the other girls went back to their hometown as usuall. First it was Baadai who came cause Badu was still on his way. I and Hooi Ling was so shy that we kept hiding in our room and Haliunaa kept asking us to come out to socialise. It was so funny the way I and Hooi Ling were trying to pluck up enough courage to go out there. When we came out, both the twins were there and we decided to play some card games. That was then ice was broken and we finaly felt comfortable with each other. It was the first time I saw Badu open up, be cheerful and enthusiastic. We had fun playing cards and laughed at the silly moments during a snap game. I was so bad in that game cause I'm still not comfortable touching anybody's hand aspeacially boys. Shocking for those who knew me during Primary school I know, but being in an all girl school can change a person dramaticly. We even talked about movies that night and If I'm not mistaken, we did watched 'Meet the Fockers' that night.

Not long after that, they visited our hostel weekly and kept playing cards. Baadai is such a player and all he wants to do is win, win and win. Most of the time, it's always Baadai who come down to play regardless the time and Badu will only join us sometimes. There are times I feel like going back to those days and relive the moments. I trully miss those times and could never forget it no matter how hard I try cause those moments are just to wonderful to forget.

I know most who read, if anybody does read this must be wondering who is 'The Guy' in the story... Well, for Haliunaa it's a different guy. A friend of the twins which I would tell in the continuation of this series of post. For me, I never thought 'The guy' in my story will happen to be one of the twins, cause I've never really seem to be interested in any one of them, but everything changed after that thaks to one beautiful, almost magical and panoramic night I will never ever forget for my whole entire life.

If only life is fair... -Really Good Times-

During the Chinese New Year, I invited Haliunaa to celebrate the celebrations together, from Butterworth, Penang to my home in Taiping, Perak. I wanted her to experience the culture and what Chinese New Year is all about here in Malaysia. During her time in Taiping, we went to the Taiping Museum and visited the zoo with Hema, Hooi Ling and her sister. Hooi Ling just had to loose her purse at the zoo. Haizz...
The best part was the open house I had at my home for the festivities. Hooi Ling and her family was there, Hema and her family was there and Johnny was wearing his new chinese Sam Foo... Haha! He looked so amazingly cute and adorable. It was my dad's birthday too and we all did a stupid suprise for him. Haha! The fan was on and the candles went off. It was so hillarious!

The time we had in Taiping was fun of course, but we had to go back to Penang and the fun continued there. I can't remember what occasion was it, but I could only remember one thing. Well, two actually... Pizza and Alcohol. Hahahahahaha.... It was a girls's night at the hostel(Shh... Can't bring alcohol into the hostel lol). We had 2 cans of Carlsberg, 2 bottles of Vodca and one bottle of red wine. Total percentage of Alcohol combined, I guess it must have been 40% at least. We played 'Truth or Dare' and could not stop laughing our ass off. I will never ever forget about that night cause I was the only one brave enough to choose dare since everyone kept sticking with truth. No fun it all we do is tell the truth... Lol, so in the end, I was the craziest girl that night. Not drunk, but crazy. Haha!

Before that night, we had another outing together, the 5 of us. I guess it was the last outing we had with Huei cause the rest of the outing was without her. We went to Queensbay and just being funny, I suggested to have our dinner in T-Bowl. A toilet concept restaurant serving really delicious chinese and western food. Haliunaa was kind of grossed out with the concept of the restaurant, but in the end she still enjoyed the whole experienced. Hooi Ling wanted to taste the Poo Ice cream. Haha! Thank goodness she didn't cause if she did, I would have a hard time controlling my laughter. After that, we decided to take photos together in the picture booth. I was so excited cause I've never taken pictures with friends in a picture booth before and I was so noob about it. We went into the booth, and that is when all hell broke loose. The shop keeper must have thought we were a bunch of lunatics cause we couldn't stop laughing in histerics... It was so hillarious and I think that was the happiest moment I ever had in my 18 years of life! The pictures came out beautiful and each of us had two to keep. I'll never forget about the way we laughed in that small crammed photo booth. Trully the best!
