Confessions of a Teenage Twin

Not long ago, I did an interview for ‘Positive Parenting’ magazine for a feature on twins.

So here’s the Q & A and the featured article.

1. Growing up: What are some of the challenges that you face growing up as twins?

“wah, you two look so alike ah, I always cannot tell who is who ah, how to differentiate ah? Who is Tim, who is Jed?” Yet another aunty with the very common and torturous question directed towards the both of us.

As we both used to be dressed exactly from tip to toe, so that is among the challenges we have to face whenever we go out as twins. It’s not easy dealing with the whole wide world not being able to tell us apart accept for our own family.

And then finally one day, we grow up to be very different, from look to character wise, and then suddenly the world would have something new to hype about:

“Huh? You 2 twins ah? How come you two so different wan?”

Assumptions, people just assume all sorts of nonsense and that as twins we must be the same. We must go out together, have the same hobby, hang out with the same friends and we must see eye to eye on everything! People just assume we can’t have a different and separate life as a twin.

Finally, people never fail to stop comparing the both of us, Yes; I’m the smarter one or skinnier one, so what!!! :P

2. Personalities: Tell us how different/ similar the both of you are: In terms of interests, friends, studies, characteristics, etc.

As we grew older, our personalities seem to be more and more different. I remember that we used to sneak in to our primary school to play basketball, but now I have long abandon that sport and don’t seem to have interest in it anymore, but my twin still does.

We both have interest in art and craft since young, and till now that interest still remains our similarity. But both have quite different set of creative skills and we both excel differently.

As we both were together in the same class all the while in primary school, so we had the same friends and always hang out with the same bunch of friends. From Secondary school onwards, we were placed in different classes, so we hang out with different friends. And same goes with college; different college different bunch of friends.

We both excel in different areas. I’m more of the studious type and my brother is the total opposite, however we are now somehow “exchanging” career paths, as I am in the creative field and he in the engineering field.

People say we have the same voice and sometimes the same laughter but our characters are very different. How different? You tell me.

3. Twin rivalry: Does this happen to the both of you? Kindly elaborate.

There is definitely some spirit of rivalry in both of us. I remember competing to complete our home work while we were in primary school. Other than that, I can’t remember much of any intense rivalry between us.

I think there are pros and cons to the twin rivalry that goes on between us. I know what I’m good at individually and what he’s good at and that’s fine with me. We both have our individual strengths and we both excel in different areas.

4. Closeness: Do you see each other as best friends? (Doing things together, sharing secrets, etc.)

The only time I remember us being close was more than a decade ago when we can hardly remember anything. We used to quarrel and argue about a lot of things when we were kids, and now, we can’t see eye to eye on everything!

That’s the way we are for now, I’ve no idea when or how things will change.

5. Separation: How would you feel if you were separated from each other for a long period of time?

As we seem to be closer to our friends then to each other, I think there won’t be a problem for us being separated when we can’t seem to live under the same roof.

6. What’s the most wonderful thing of having a twin?

The wonderful thing is that we get to disguise as each other and fool the whole world! Just kidding, that is so LAME!!! By the way, that’s a very common suggestion by people who are in a bit to comfort me that being a twin is not that bad.

What is the one thing that celebrities and twins have in common? Well, they’re both famous! It’s just that twins are not born with wealth (I wish!).

You know those celebrity kids that just are famous for no reason other than being born into a famous parent. As for a twin, you have the fame just because people are intrigued by the fact that you are born only 9 minutes apart from the other and share the same birthday. Teachers including those who don’t teach us know we exist and who doesn’t realized there is a twin in their church?

People tend to remember us, as if we are the special human being with special “twin” ability. Sometimes when u introduce yourself and you tell people that you are a twin, their eyes will glow with intrigue and imagining another person who looks exactly like you. There aren’t too many twins around, so they feel excited whenever they meet one, and it will follow by a million questions about how you got or use your “twin” ability.

Well, I guess ‘with great power comes great responsibility’, so you see, using your “twin” ability to disguise as your other half is no good people! No no no good! So people! please don’t tell me to disguise as my other half.

Having faith in a God we cant see?

An Atheist Professor of Philosophy was speaking to his Class on the Problem Science has
with GOD, the ALMIGHTY. He asked one of his New Christian Students to stand and . . .


Professor : You are a Christian, aren't you, son ?
Student : Yes, sir.
Professor : So, you Believe in GOD ?
Student : Absolutely, sir.
Professor : Is GOD Good ?
Student : Sure.
Professor : Is GOD ALL - POWERFUL ?
Student : Yes.
Professor : My Brother died of Cancer even though he Prayed to GOD to Heal him.
Most of us would attempt to help others who are ill.
But GOD didn't. How is this GOD good then? Hmm?


(Student was silent )


Professor : You can't answer, can you ? Let's start again, Young Fella.
Is GOD Good?
Student : Yes.
Professor : Is Satan good ?
Student : No.
Professor : Where does Satan come from ?
Student : From . . . GOD . . .
Professor : That's right. Tell me son, is there evil in this World?
Student : Yes.
Professor : Evil is everywhere, isn't it ? And GOD did make everything. Correct?
Student : Yes.
Professor : So who created evil ?


(Student did not answer)


Professor : Is there Sickness? Immorality? Hatred? Ugliness?
All these terrible things exist in the World, don't they?
Student : Yes, sir.
Professor : So, who Created them ?


(Student had no answer)


Professor : Science says you have 5 Senses you use to Identify and Observe the World around you.
Tell me, son . . . Have you ever Seen GOD?
Student : No, sir.
Professor : Tell us if you have ever Heard your GOD?
Student : No , sir.
Professor : Have you ever Felt your GOD, Tasted your GOD, Smelt your GOD?
Have you ever had any Sensory Perception of GOD for that matter?
Student : No, sir. I'm afraid I haven't.
Professor : Yet you still Believe in HIM?
Student : Yes.
Professor : According to Empirical, Testable, Demonstrable Protocol,
Science says your GOD doesn't exist. What do you say to that, son?
Student : Nothing. I only have my Faith.
Professor : Yes,Faith. And that is the Problem Science has.

Student : Professor, is there such a thing as Heat?
Professor : Yes.
Student : And is there such a thing as Cold?
Professor : Yes.
Student : No, sir. There isn't.

(The Lecture Theatre became very quiet with this turn of events )

Student : Sir, you can have Lots of Heat, even More Heat, Superheat, Mega Heat, White Heat,
a Little Heat or No Heat.
But we don't have anything called Cold.
We can hit 458 Degrees below Zero which is No Heat, but we can't go any further after that.
There is no such thing as Cold.
Cold is only a Word we use to describe the Absence of Heat.
We cannot Measure Cold.
Heat is Energy.
Cold is Not the Opposite of Heat, sir, just the Absence of it.

(There was Pin-Drop Silence in the Lecture Theatre )

Student : What about Darkness, Professor? Is there such a thing as Darkness?
Professor : Yes. What is Night if there isn't Darkness?
Student : You're wrong again, sir.
Darkness is the Absence of Something
You can have Low Light, Normal Light, Bright Light, Flashing Light . . .
But if you have No Light constantly, you have nothing and its called Darkness, isn't it?
In reality, Darkness isn't.
If it is, were you would be able to make Darkness Darker, wouldn't you?
Professor : So what is the point you are making, Young Man ?
Student : Sir, my point is your Philosophical Premise is flawed.
Professor : Flawed ? Can you explain how?

Student : Sir, you are working on the Premise of Duality.
You argue there is Life and then there is Death, a Good GOD and a Bad GOD.
You are viewing the Concept of GOD as something finite, something we can measure.
Sir, Science can't even explain a Thought.
It uses Electricity and Magnetism, but has never seen, much less fully understood either one.
To view Death as the Opposite of Life is to be ignorant of the fact that
Death cannot exist as a Substantive Thing.
Death is Not the Opposite of Life: just the Absence of it
Now tell me, Professor, do you teach your Students that they evolved from a Monkey?

Professor : If you are referring to the Natural Evolutionary Process, yes, of course, I do.

Student : Have you ever observed Evolution with your own eyes, sir?

(The Professor shook his head with a Smile, beginning to realize where the Argument was going )

Student : Since no one has ever observed the Process of Evolution at work and
Cannot even prove that this Process is an On-Going Endeavor,
Are you not teaching your Opinion, sir?
Are you not a Scientist but a Preacher?

(The Class was in Uproar )

Student : Is there anyone in the Class who has ever seen the Professor's Brain?

(The Class broke out into Laughter )

Student : Is there anyone here who has ever heard the Professor's Brain, Felt it, touched or Smelt it? . . .
No one appears to have done so.
So, according to the Established Rules of Empirical, Stable, Demonstrable Protocol,
Science says that You have No Brain, sir.
With all due respect, sir, how do we then Trust your Lectures, sir?

(The Room was Silent. The Professor stared at the Student, his face unfathomable)

Professor : I guess you'll have to take them on Faith, son.

Student : That is it sir . . . Exactly !
The Link between Man & GOD is FAITH.
That is all that Keeps Things Alive and Moving.


NB:

I believe you have enjoyed the Conversation . . . and if so .. .
You'll probably want your Friends / Colleagues to enjoy the same . . . won't you?
Forward them to Increase their Knowledge . . . or FAITH.
That student was Albert Einstein.

The Tale of Colours

Why ‘PAROIMIA’?

Paroimia means parable. In Greek. But in the words of Shakespeare’s Juliet, “…a rose by any other name would smell as sweet.”

And so, whatever it is called, Paroimia is essentially, a parable. “But what is a parable?” you ask.

A parable is a story with a deeper meaning; a meaning that goes beyond the words used or the story-telling methods employed.

“So what’s the deeper meaning?” you ask. First, let us tell you the story:

Once upon a time, a prince was born in the Golden City.

His name was Prince Elyon. That same day, the commander of the Golden Army, Kieron, led a rebellion against the King and stole away the citizens.

It had been long foretold that a day like that would come, when a savior would be needed. He would have to die in exchange for the citizens' freedom. His blood for theirs.

Prince Elyon was to be that savior.

Will he be able to wipe the darkness of Kieron out? Will the people ever be free from the clutches of Kieron?

Come and watch Paroimia.

Let the colors whisk you away to the land where the Golden Command upholds justice...
the Dark Legion threatens peace & harmony.
Is there hope for the imprisoned Grey Doldrums?
Can the courageous Blood Army bring restoration?

17th April (Friday)
18th April (Saturday)
24th April (Friday)
25th April (Saturday)

The story will unfold from
8pm to 10pm
at the Main Sanctuary of FGA KL.
