Between

In between is a very difficult process. Neither this nor that...

'tween (preposition, adverb)
Definition: (archaic or literary) same as between [13th century. Shortening]

'tween = between.

Tween normally refers to a human being who is between kid and youth.
Tween gals. Tween guys.

So in English, there's a word for 'human beings who are between kids and youth' - TWEEN.

During my tween years, it was a weird yet exciting time.

Tween was a time...
I hated shopping + clothes even though I needed it.
I wanted to fit in with my gang.
I wore 3-quarter sleeve tee most of the time.
I wondered why I went to church every week.
I was super emo and super sensitive.
Kids started to call me 'che che'. *bangga*
I had a fat-cubby-overweighed piggy bank.
I went to the freaking scary+big secondary school.
I watched TV3 'Nightline' because the newsreader, Gerard Lam had a cute way of saying 'goodbye'.
I was too eager to grow up and finish schooling.
I hated every kind of skirts.
I ate one tub of ice-cream without gaining any weight.
I didn't know who I was.
I couldn't find clothes that fitted me.
I was not a kid, not yet a youth.
everything seemed so wrong in my life.

Anyway, at least I was a TWEEN.


Now, I'm a human being who is between youth and young adult.

In English, is there a word for 'a human being who is between youth and young adult'?
I don't think the word exist, or at least not in my dictionary.
Please tell me, if I'm wrong. I'll be super duper glad!

There are clothes, movies, activities, toys, and books that specially cater for tweens. Spoilt tweens!
But what about stuff for 'human beings who are between youth and young adult'?
No. Kosong. Nothing. Zero. Tak ada.


'Human being who is between youth and young adult' is a time...
I love shopping + clothes even though I don't need them.
I have tons of friends but few true friends.
I wear polo tees most of the time.
I wonder why I am who I am.
I am super talkative and super moody.
Kids started to call me 'aunty'. *humiliated*
I have a thin-skinny-undernourished piggy bank.
I'm going to the freaking frightening+gigantic university.
I watch 8TV 'One In The Million' because of the judge, Paul Moss sarcastic remarks.
I don't want to grow up cause working is freaking my out!
I like flair and flowery skirts.
I only have to eat one tea spoon of ice-cream to gain weight.
I know who am I but confused.
I can find tons of clothes that fit me but the price tags don't fit my wallet.
I am not a girl, not yet a woman.
Everything seems so unpredictable in my life.

Anyway, at least I am still breathing.

Let everything that has breath praise the Lord. Praise the Lord!

Focus!!

In the meeting, the leader said,

'Give constructive criticisms. Focus on the problems and not the person.'

In the church, the pastor said,

'Give your heart to Jesus. Focus on Jesus and not your problems.'

Focus on what?

Confusing!

I love...

I love God the most. I want to love Him more and more each day. I love Him because He first loves me. Be God's reflector is my ultimate goal in life. My life is in His hand. He died because of me and now, I live because of Him.

I love my family tons. How blessed I am to have a family who will stand by me. No matter what happens, I'll still have my family. I'm so thankful for each of them! My family means so much to me.

I treasure all my true friends. Friends who are true to themselves and everyone else. True friends are willing to go through ups and down, left and right together. True friends make planet earth a better place!

I like my church. It's a place where I get an abundance of love, inspirations, blessings, encouragements, wisdom... Most importantly, a place where I get fired up for Him! I look forward to go every week. Truly. Amazing. Church is alive!

Blogs that I stalk religiously

I am and will be a super busy bee, oh i mean owl for awhile since I'll be a MAHASISWI in few days time. I'll update Desperate-Witty-Owl when things are more settled.

And these are some of the award-winning-blogs that I read to waste my precious time. You, too, can waste time reading it.

*WARNING* these blogs are very addictive like drugs. So, be careful.


Karen Cheng
www.karencheng.com.au

I started reading karencheng since 2 years ago. And since then, I felt in love with her blog. I love her blog's design to the bits. Somehow, I hope she could design my blog too.

She's an Asian living in Australia. She takes great pictures. Plus, she's a great story teller. She blog about her family, shopping, nice places, awesome websites, witty events... If you can't get enough of her, her sister, Christine has a blog too.


Heather B. Armstrong
www.dooce.com

Recently, I just discovered the joy of reading dooce although I knew this blog for a long time. I liked it so much till I started reading from her 1st post in 27 June 2001. After weeks of usaha, I have reached 29 March 2005.

She is married and a mother to Leta. She's been a housewife since she was fired because she crapped about her work place at dooce.net. She's an extremely witty, entertaining, detail and sarcastic blogger. She openly blogs about her adorable daughter and many other random stuff. I really think her daughter, Leta will sue her for humiliating her. Muahaha... Undeniably, pasti, a super duper blogger.


Kenny Sia
www.kennysia.com

Kenny Sia is our very gila-gila Kuching blogger. Funny blog with Malaysian oomp! He always talk about current issues but in a witty yet frank way. For those people who are too lazy to read and yet want to read blogs (confused personality), this blog is certainly for you!

I like to read the blogs that he reads too, especially minishorts.net (she don't wear hot pants but her posts 'claim' to be mini short)


(If your blog is not up there, don't emo with me okay? Tell me, I'll surely promote for you later! muahaha...)


Enjoy reading it! I got to go to pack my stuff...

True Friends

To my dearest my extraordinary one kind one of a kind special cute smarty cat and true friends and the others,

Friends are like the million of stars in the sky
Easily spotted but only appear at night, sometimes only
True friends are like the beautiful pearls in the deep sea
Rarely spotted but once found, always there

Friends are like golden dust
Attractive and eye-catching but fake
True friends are like gold dust
Few and high price but genuine

Friends are many
Like the hair on my head
But, true friend are not many
Like the hair on a 100-years-old man's head

Friends comes in many kind
Just like the many kind of laksa sold in Malaysia
True friends are uniquely special
Just like the authentic seafood nyonya laksa sold in Jonker88

Some friends are like an unreachable dead link
And, other friends are like irritating mozzies
True friends are like a faithful smarty cat
And, some are like sticky never-let-go leeches

When friends run away
True friends stand strong like a solid rock
When friends doubt
True friends trust like the faith of a child

To have a fun, exciting time,
Friends are what we want.
To have the joyful, meaning life,
True friends are what we need!

Don't stop at just being a friend
Be a special someone
Be more than a friend
A faithful close true friend!

Luv,
RojakLaksa + Deadlink + IT'S ALIVE + TomYamLaksa + 3for10Earrings + PrayerWarrior + Touching True Friend
