From Hot Brazilian girl to Sweet Vietnamese twins

The summer holidays witnessed the mass exodus of the female hostel residents for their summer holidays. This includes the so called "Hot Brazilian girl" aka "Hot Ballet dancer". I'm not quite sure if they will be coming back or will there be new residence once the university term starts. But the absence of female residence is somewhat noticeable.

The starting date of the summer holidays and the starting of the new term of each University in Germany are not all the same. Some start as early as the beginning of September, some start in October. For some students, summer holidays provides the opportunity to work part time, in restaurants or factories depending on their skills and qualifications. For some students, it is compulsory to so their industrial training. Just like in Malaysia, the student will do about 3 months of industrial training and then write a thesis when they get back to University. This was the case for the Vietnamese twin sisters that just moved in a couple of weeks ago, the Nguyen sisters.

These sweet and petite girls are inseparable. They study the same course (economics) in the same University, in the same class and doing their industrial training in the same company (but different departments). Like every other friend in my floor, i met one of the sisters for the first time in the kitchen. Her name is Mee...something (i don't remember...paiseh). Previously i did notice them moving in but this was the 1st time we actually met. That was also when i knew she didn't know how to cook. Well, it was the same case with the other sister actually. So we talked and exchanged YM addresses. She had a problem with her internet untill now, but she gave my YM to her sister and later we had a short introduction.

It was not until last Saturday that we decided go out together with my fellow trainees, Liu Shu (PRC) and Evgeny (Russia). There was this free movie screening in an indoor swimming pool which they fixed a screen and a few rows of seats (not many, at least not enough for us). The movie was a musical from the 1940's about swimming girl, people playing music and cha-cha dancing. The movie was accompanied by a real life synchronized water dance. I guess thats why they screened it in the indoor swimming pool. It was an American movie but dubbed into German, which made in not understandable to us. About 10 minutes into the movie we decided not to waste time watching that movie and we went to drink and have a chit-chat.

Now, when we mention twins people will always think of Siamese twins. These sisters were not Siamese twins due to the fact that they were Vietnamese and they look similar, but not the same. Most obvious was the shape of their faces are different. Now, I didn't study biology when i was in high school but my mom is a biology teacher and I used to "ambil upah" typing my mothers schools biology exam papers (with answers). That's when i learned about the concept of twins and how they come to be. Seems like the Nguyen sisters came from 2 different eggs fertilized by 2 different sperms. Thats why there is a difference in how they look. In fact if you look carefully, if not for the same hair style and physical size, they look just like normal sisters rather than twin sisters. But i know which one looks cuter though...hehe

Before i go further, it is probobly a good thing to inform my readers and friends that both sisters have informed me earlier in our acquaintance that they already have boyfriends. This is typical for girls who want to define their boundaries to other men. Well i think its a good thing to do to avoid misunderstandings. However, they are very sweet and friendly. In fact Mee....something (i don't remember her name...paiseh) was the one that initiated the conversation when i first met here in the kitchen. Not that i didn't want to start the conversation, but she started it before i could say "you must be the new vietnamese girl, arent you". But since she still hasn't had her internet fixed, i have been chatting with her sister, Kim Hee for the past week. She's the cutest between them..hehe.

Well, i think this is as far as i can tell you guys about the Vietnamese twins. Besides i only have known them for over a week. But, i don't have a picture of them but , pretty soon i will. For now i just have the lousy picture taken at the movie screening with just Mee...something(i don't remember her name...paiseh) and us trainees in it.....
