…Is not an easy task. Honest. Usually when we have this family outing to shopping mall (for time being only to Equene’s Jusco nearby), it would be like a caravan of circus (that’s my view), with the stroller, the twin’s traveller kit (basically a backpack containing their milk supply, their snacks, pampers, spare shirts and shorts for each of them and some other additional items.) and yes, we will put Adam and Ariff in their stroller as I dun have any intention to carry them during the outings and neither do wifey.

Most of the time, the shopper at Jusco Taman Equene will greet us with,

“Eh twin.. Best nye…” or “You are lucky to have twin,” or “Twin.. Jelousnya..”

every time they saw our twin. Of cause we usually will always give a nicest smile as possible to those comments and compliments. Yeah, we are proud and feel lucky indeed with the twin.

But like one of my friends said,

“Twin, twice the joy but doubled the work.”

I dun have any intention to dispute that. Especially when the twin now know how to walk (I think I did saw Ariff is running or maybe walking in faster than usual pace”. Yeah we do have out-of-bound places for the twin especially the kitchen , the stairs and yeah to their own cupboard.

They now know how and love to climb our Japanese style dining table and playing with their sisters stools. As now they can eat by themselves, they will try their best to make sure that the food in their hand will be shared with others via the sofa, the floor and even via my working pants. Adam has this habit to climb the door’s grill to reach out for the keys or padlock while Ariff has this habit of clinging to wifey whenever he saw wifey around.

During nite time especially the bed time, Ariff will sleep with wifey while Adam with me. And like any other kids, they will playing around, tiring themselves or perhaps trying to find some sleeping mood before eventually go their respective sleeping partner ;P  While they want to achieve that sleeping mode or become tired, the usual spot for these two boys will be wifey make-up table. They will try to squeeze all the bottles/tubes whatever on the table through the holes on the chair. So most of the time in the morning I will end up sprawling under the make-up table looking for my comb.

Anyway even sometimes I do loose my temper and shouting all the times to the kids, but deep inside I know that all the hardship, all the restless nite and days and all the pain that me and wifey endured while raising these kids (OK include their sisters as well) are worth every single moment. It does make me appreciate more on the hardships that my parents had to face while raising me and my siblings and like my best friend said,

“Twin, twice the joy but doubled the work..”
