She's tough. She tries to hide it. She's difficult. But if you make an effort, she's worth it. She's worth the effort. ~Grey's Anatomy

"I'm selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes. I'm out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best." ~Marilyn Monroe


I’m Esther Chin and I’m hot. Hot tempered, that is. I'm a serious person, by nature and I severely despise kawai nonsense. I'm sarcastic, analytical, calculative, persistent, confrontational and very realistic. Money is a need, not a want. I have disagreements with trust, he looks rather distorted, don’t you think so? I used to play truth or dare when I was younger. But after giving it a thought, I decided to just play dare. No one tells the truth around here anymore. When someone tells me “I lied to you because I love you.” I reply them “To hell with you! That is infinite blasphemy, an unforgivable case.” I rarely give people the benefit of the doubt, just coz…I don’t. I’m addicted to heels, handbags and pretty dresses. Isn’t it obvious enough that I’m a sassy chic? “Reason” is only a prettier word for “excuse”. People try to cover up by 'explaining' too much ‘reason’ as to why they screw up and I think that’s unhealthy. Risks are meant to be taken. It adds life to our monotonous days.



I turned 21 years old on the 15th December 08.



Standing at only 5 feet 5, I often find myself a failure when compared to my mummy who is half a head taller than me. Well, at least it comforts me that I’m still taller than average Malaysian women. I never had short hair after schooling days and prefer straight hair over my natural big wavy hair. My typical Chinese, almond shape, ‘sepet’ eyes had always been commented and laughed at, by others as either unique or ugly. I used to hate them, but I’m happier with my appearance as I grew up. My tall nose is r-e-a-l and I got it from my daddy. (No, not all Chinese have flat nose, damnit!) And yes, my mouth looks normal, thank you very much.

I like to see myself as Amy March from the Little Women novel. Growing up as the only child in my family, I often find it hard to associate with people around me; hence my popularity being the odd one out would disturb me from time to time. Sharon, my adopted sister came into my life when we were both 12 years old. We did not get along very well, not until after we left high school. I love her as much as I love my family.

I grew up in Seri Petaling and later on moved to Cheras with my parents. Being a typical city girl, I can never live without electricity, Internet connection and shopping malls, although, it's been a challenge to keep up with my Internet and shopping addictions since I've came to USA because my life is different here. While studying full time, I also work part time in a restaurant but the money I earned would go directly into my living expenses funding, unlike back in Malaysia where my money earned from fun freelance jobs would go straight to my shopping expenses. I miss those days.

One of my freelance jobs even landed me on The Star newspaper (post *here* and *here*)


I'm currently perusing my Degree in Mass Communication at Western Michigan University, Kalamazoo, Michigan. I made up my mind to study in United States of America during my Work and Travel programme at Cedar Point (Summer 08) which I encountered a great experience there. Against all odds, I made it through the process of getting into WMU for the Fall 09 semester, thanks to my parents.


The decision to finish my studies overseas changed my life in a way. I am forced to grow up, stay on my own and work to cover my living expenses since only the tuition fees is paid for. I've learned to be more thankful for things that I have, as opposed to how I used to be unsatisfied with too many things that I have (I'm still like that tho, but not as much as before) I learn to appreciate my parents more and realized how much they love me when I see them willingly sacrifice so much for me and my future. I miss my grandparents, especially my paternal grandfather. Then again, I'm blessed to live in an era with modern technology where I can just use Skype to call back to Malaysia at a very low price, therefore I would try to call my parents, paternal and maternal grandparents every once a week, if I'm able to. Also, I have come to understand that family always comes first no matter what the situation is because for me, only family members would be the only one left where I can run back to and will always accept me for who I am.

p.s.: I miss MALAYSIAN FOOD and my 2 Australian Silky Terriers too.

Says

"Sometimes its the memories of the past, perseverance in the present and hope for the future that keeps us alive." - Esther Chin

Live life, no regrets.

Everyone's idea of happiness is different. Pursue your own happiness and not what others say it should be.

Never let anyone push you around. Stand up for yourself and don't back down. Know your rights and always be prepared.

TAKE the road less taken. Challenge yourself and pursue your dreams.
