Craniopagus Twins

Hi everyone, this might be the last time i am blogging before the SPM examination.. Well, holidays are coming to an end..time flies during holidays but creeps during exams.. i wasted the whole of last week doing basically nothing. i read novels, laze around the house, staring at the sky , just to mention a few.



Last Saturday, i visited the MPH book fair in BBT One tower. Got myself a few books with reasonable prices.

1) The Girls by Lori Lansens(RM10)

2)A Place Called Here by Cecelia Ahern(RM15)

3)The Last Breath by Denise Mina(RM15)



i have read The Girls and it turned out to be an awesome book. The story revolved around the lives of a pair of craniopagus twins (Rose and Ruby). i should not reveal the entire synopsis of this story here as you should get your hands on a copy of it. This is how a pair of craniopagus twins looks like



(Maria Teresa and Mara de Jesus Quiej-Alvarez)



after reading the book, i started wondering about what it fells like to have another human attached to your head, precisely your sister if you are a female or a brother if you are a male. Conjoined twins will always be of the same sex. i do not have a sister. Hence, i treasure the idea of having a sister and in this case a sister permanently attached to my head. initially, i thought of it as a fantastic idea as 'we' can share our thoughts and feelings. My 'twin sister' might even be able to read my mind. However, i later figured out that conjoined twins cannot live without each another if not separated which means if i have an aneurysm, my 'sister's' life will be at stake too!!! So, it wasn't a great idea after all. I do not want to be a murderer........

Bye, that's all. Hopefully, i will be back in no time..
