Parties, School and Life Part II - June, July, August, September 2011

Today is supposed the start of Year Three! But lessons are only officially starting tomorrow and therefore I'm taking this chance to blog a little before going out to meet Baby later. Yes. 2012, has been quite an ironic year. This has gotta be the most probably depressing first half of the year for me I guess. And my dear boy has gotta be the only thing that is the best thing that ever happened to me this year. Well, but before I start blogging about the first one-third of 2012, I'mma start blogging about the second half of 2011 first. :)

And so continuing on, June 2011 started off with me visiting Choir Camp'11! The alumni sang Come Travel With Me and being there as an audience was really a nostalgic one! :') Those memories that Dunman Choir had pieced up throughout my Secondary school years is really an unforgettable part of my life. Then come mid June, Brother got enlisted into Army just like every Singaporean Son. The trip to Tekong with Daddy, Mummy, Sister and Vanessa was a fun one! :) Brother got into Kestrel Coy and we bid him goodbye for two weeks. Then come my holidays and we headed to Jakarta as usual for Father's Day and Grandpa's birthday. We celebrated Father's Day Lunch at a vegetarian restaurant different from 2010. And then Grandpa's birthday was celebrate at Teochew Palace in Mega Mall. It was truly an unforgettable night. But never did we all expect that it is the last birthday that we were to celebrate with Grandpa...












July was like a new start for me in school with new group mates and all. Then there was the class first chalet at Coasta Sands (Pasir Ris). We had great fun and I had a new nick name "Esteecia" just because I couldn't stand the stickiness of the floor when we first entered the chalet and started to mop the floor with the cloth while the rest of the class were just staring at me. Hahaha! :) But it was really memorable with Joshua telling us stories about the different dimensions of the world and the most unforgettable part was when I seriously thought I head a snake sound coming from under the bed and I screamed and Aaron jumped along with me! Hahahahaha! :) And so Ophys has a meet-up dinner too and I attended with Darling Dee! It was pretty fun meeting up with the people! I really kinda miss camp but honestly I don't have the time to commit, which is why I didn't dare join DOC for both years despite Si Tian's encouragement! :/ Towards the end of July, we celebrated Mama's 81st Birthday at Er-yi's house! It was fun as usual just meeting the cousins and all! :) 













August! Apart from the busy schedule at school, I basically get to meet up with the RHG people for a dinner at INSOMNIA@CHJIMES! The place serves really great food and the al-fresco dining was not too bad! :)  And I remember Brother making me really angry on a certain day and I refused to forgive him! Then Mummt planned this dinner at Astons@Changi Airport as I happened to be doing work then with Elson at Starbucks! To please Mummy, I just had to forgive him and he pinched me when we patched! -.- Oh and there's Sister's birthday celebration at Sizzler! That place is highly recommended for salad bar buffet! It's really good! :)











Start of September and the sad news hit the B's! Our Dearest Wai Yan Hazel B. Chin has to return to Malaysia to serve her nation! Yes, Malaysian girls has to serve their nation as they go through balloting votings! And so Clarissa and her planned a chalet for her friends to have a last reunion before she bid us goodbye for 3 months with no contact! Then the following week, I attended the Not-Too-Identical Twins 21st Birthday at the same chalet but different unit! I volunteered to help Mr Chow be his photographer and ever since then I have been taking up voluntary projects of many many birthday celebrations! I'mma happy girl with a camera to capture the happy memories! :D We got to met two new friends, and among them has gotta be one special one hehehe! :P Okay, not gonna disclose anything much yet because it's supposed 2011 September post! I'm really glad and thankful to Mummy who allowed me to stay at the chalet for two consecutive nights, allowing me to have so much fun with my Bros and Sistas! :)

Of course why Mummy allowed was because I was to start working at DHL for that whole month of holidays, which is another thankful matter I've gotta thank Mummy once again! The pay is really good and I really enjoyed my whole course of working at DHL along side with the bimbo Vanessa Chong! I met so many wonderful colleagues which includes Michelle, Jonathan, Fauzi, etc. and DHL really taught me a lot! It was a job that completely trusted us part-timers to work on our own. I had to lias with other countries DHL staff and send formal emails and this job really taught me a lot about the working society. :)
















 Okay, seems like I gotta continue October, November and December another time round! Really gotta start vacuuming the floor a little and start preparing to go out to meet my Baby Dearest! Till next time!

Love, Estee

Parties, School and Life Part I

Well well well, ironically it's my first blog post of this year when the year 2011 is about to end. The thing is, with Twitter, there isn't much a need for me to blog. But since I chance upon my blog, thought I might as well just blog a little something. Well, this year has indeed been good and bad at the same time.

January was pretty awesome with the New Year celebration and Pre-CNY celebration. Shopping for CNY clothes and all. I highlighted my hair for the very first time! It was a whole new experience and it didn't turn out as I thought it'd be!


And moving on to February was the CNY celebrations! Sister's Year of the Rabbit. As usual, we headed to the various house for visiting! It was also the last year that we were to celebrate CNY at 二姑姑's house in Bedok Reservoir before she moved to Marsiling. Then there was Li Yun & Brother's 21st Birthday! Love and missing Bro's 21st celebration at The Aranda. Was busy preparing the proposal for his birthday alongside with my other I/C Zerlina. :) It's so funny that I came up with the Word Proposal for his birthday plan. There were the usual games, performances put up by Zerlina, Davin, Nicholas, myself and the birthday boy himself!











March was crazy crazy Project 1 production! The stop motions, 2D animation, 3D animation, Sound recordings! Those were really the days. :) Even when there were miscommunication, disputes here and there but we still hang on together as a group. Joanne, Mildred, Rafiqah and Ying Hui. Thanks girls!







April was Happy Holidays! Started out with WeiYing's 21st birthday celebration in the first week! Yes, the funny fact about this year's 21st birthday parties for the cousins - It's all held at Aranda Country Club. And as expected since it's the long holidays, I headed back to Bureau Veritas to work again! It was also Qing Ming Festival and as usual we headed back to Tg.Balai to pay respects to our ancestors. Food there was awesome as usual! Kim Yong Da Mee, Bak Kut Teh, Rasa Sayang Seafood, Long Beach, Murtabak, Bakso, Heh Pia, Gado gado and so much more! Can't wait for 2012's April! :)









May! My Birthday Month! :) And it was also the beginning phase of Year Two. Time really flies. And the end of the first block was the party weekend! Friday was Delia's 18th! And it was my celebration with my Poly mates. Thanks to those turned up. :) Benjamin, Joanne, Joshua, Mildred, Rafiqah,Uriah and Ying Hui! Thank you girls & Benjamin for the Birthday Hat. :) We dined at Tampines One's Secret Recipe at about 9 plus because it was submission day and everyone was rushing to submit the Final Assignment for 2D Animation Techniques!






Then Saturday was supposedly set to celebrate with the B's but due to some mis-plan, I the birthday girl decided to plan Delia and my 18th at Timbre! :) It was a lil' awkward because I asked DASERS along too and yet Delia's friends were not able to turn up! But everything turned out pretty awesome except that dear Wai Yan couldn't make it. :/ But nonetheless we had fun. :) Kathy had to leave at about 11 plus and so Ziyi and Delia with her. While the rest of the DASERS who turned up decided to head down to Clarke Quay for some drinks by the bay. Lee Hao bought me Vodka as a present and so we open it up and got Jason to buy drinks from Macdonald's! It was a nice night as I got to meet Rebecca for the first time that very night! The other half of the DASERS couldn't make it because they were at Taiwan but it's fine! There's always next year guys! :) Delia, Kathy, Zi Yi, Cheng Hua, Rebecca, Andy, Rahim, Lee Hao, Jason, Xiao Zhao and last but not least Jerome Kho. Thanks for celebrating this day with me. :) Love the presents too! Thanks all :)










And Sunday, which was my actual birthday was dedicated to my family! :) Just had a simple dinner celebration at Sakae Teppanyaki @ Airport and I swear I'm going back there every year on my birthday! It was Sister's treat for me and we bought a cake afterwards to cut at the end of the day! Thanks all for making my 18th a memorable one! And of course those long text messages by my dearest friends who made an effort to text and not FB! Haha! Just kiddin'! Thanks all who wished me!







Love,
Estee.

It's so fast that a month has past since I started my new temporary job at Harbourfront! It just felt as if I was going to start work tomorrow! The people there are nice, it was as usual tough coping at the start.. Never knew why it always happens with all the crying and fear within me. What a joke right, never knew that Estee's like this. Sometimes, it's tough to put up a tough front. But oh well, :)

Headed to the temple at Bedok today to pay respects to Gong gong. :) Lunch was at Changi V's Ubin afterthat! Mama's treat, and wow at the price man. But lunch was great nonetheless. Thank you Mama :)

And hi I miss you, dumbass. Studying should be fun tomorrow. :D

More than words to show I feel.

Before this special day ends, I'd like to say dedicate this post to my precious girlfriends.

Christy - 3 Years Friendship Anniversary


Dear Christy,

Thanks for being the best angel ever for three years and counting... There's no amount of Thank Yous I can say cause it'll take my whole lifetime. Thanks for appearing in my life and take care of me all this time, listening to my sorrows and happiness and withstand my weakness and imperfections to build up this friendship make it such a special one. It hasn't been a smooth three years for us, of course. Every friendships has their ups and down, but without your persistent and belief in me, we wouldn't have come this far. It's fate that brought us together three years back, now it's destiny that we would still be friends for years to come. And I'm confident, though you're SP girl and I'm TP girl, our friendship will still last for many years to come till death do us part. :)

Yours Sincerely,
Estee


Dear Delia, Kathy, Wai Yan,

Though we've known each other at different timings, but I sincerely thank god for you girls as my girlfriends. Indeed, as what Delia said, It was never easy to sustain this friendship. We have our differences in views of different matters, but still these differences complemented each and our strengths and weaknesses. It's been a month since we pledged as 'The Four Bs' at Century Square's Popeye's. And come one month after, we celebrated our pledge together despite our busy schedule. It's really heartwarming to know that we are able to come this far together, being there for each other. Recently, lots happened. Quarrels, misunderstandings, bitchings, hatred, etc. But still, we overcame this obstacle and pulled through to bring a new start for this friendship. No one is irreplacable. I'm sorry if I've ever hurt any of you with my words, and sorry for being so dumb. :( I can't help it! But nonetheless, it's our imperfections that bring our friendship to a higher level of mutual understanding and love for each other.

There's really nothing more that I can express through these words, but earnestly, I would keep all the memories we had together, precious ones. Once again, with more than words can say,

I love you girls, my bimbos/babes! xoxo'

Yours Sincerely,

Estee B. Kho

I'm stuck in this life I didn't ask for.

Tell me when do you all ever spare a thought for me? Tell me who will always be the one giving in? Tell me why must I always try to think for you all and not the other way? Tell me why should I not be feeling miserable with such a life. Tell me why am I not dead.

And I say goodbye to you, goodbye to everything that I knew.

I finally understand why... And know what? I'm happy for you for because it's the wisest decision you've ever made. I won't forget all that has happened between us, but I'd just keep it and not look back. I've never been looking back ever since I've got him. I moved on first, you moved on too. So, we're presently happily with someone we love now. I will cross my road, you will cross yours. This is the end and I wish you both all the best. Do give me your blessings too yeah? :)

And yes, at least I came to realise how much I did not matter to you afterall. Thanks!

This feeling I'm feeling is something I never know.

The feeling of earning my own buck again is simply awesome! School's been really... slack this block I guess. Creative storytelling. I'd say it's not a very interesting module but it's definitely one that can overkill your brain cells for coming up with a story. Right, assignment two is tedious. And considering the fact that I spent my day today working and tomorrow Sentosa. That means I've only Sunday to work on it whole-heartedly.

Oh, I was brainstorming on the train just now. It's funny how I just took out my foolscap pad and pen and started working on my layout for assignment two so that I'll be able to focus more on the writing on Sunday. Ha! Talk about treating it as my own home.

Wed's dinner with B's were super hilarious! Met up with Kathy and Delia after class and headed to Tampines Central to walk around first. We had several stuffs to get. Ultimately, Kathy's Salsa heels were priority! Oh, no! My socks were of a necessity! Now the back of my feets have really awful abrasions. :( It sucks when your skin tears! Pain to the max! :(

But ya as I was saying, it was so hilarious with the B's! Wy joined us after her class! Delia bought a pair of boots from Mondo at an unreasonably cheap price! Her smile was priceless! I swear De's smile always brings joy to me! It's just so nice to see her smile! :)

Our dinner was chapalans from various basements of malls. Tori-Q was our main course. De and I shared Sushi too! Kathy and Wy bought their own sushi sets! Omg, joke ttm man! We ate on the bench like it's our house! Practically moved the bench here and there! Hahahah!
Alright, mum's nagging at me to hand over the comp now! Nights! :)

All about Gemini!

Zodiac Signs - Gemini
Gemini Astrology May 21 - June20

Gemini Strength Keywords:

- Energetic
- Clever
- Imaginative
- Witty
- Adaptable
Gemini Weakness Keywords:

- Superficial
- Impulsive
- Restless
- Devious
- Indecisive
Gemini and Independence:

Gemini are extremely independent. They will not be pinned down by anyone or any rules. They need to experience the world on their own. Change and freedom are extremely important to Gemini, they will never let anyone dictate them, they are extremely independent and freedom is essential to their mental well being.


Gemini and Friendship:

Gemini make very interesting and exciting friends. They like to leave their mark on everyone they meet. They are very flighty and will disappear for a long time as they meet new friends and explore new places. But when they come back, they will have new thoughts, opinions and interesting things to share and ideas to teach. Life is very interesting and fun with a Gemini friend. If you need any advice, Gemini is the one to ask. They are masters of communication and they can help you get what you need by helping you with persuasion and enthusiasm, and they give good advice too. Do not however, bog a Gemini down with all of your emotional problems, they are not want to deal with it because it depresses them and steps on their freedom if you need too much long term help, support and follow up. A Gemini friend can fill you in with the latest gossip and if you love conversation, the Gemini delivers! They are very generous with their friends, they will spend lots of time with you and share everything with you. Even though Gemini is a social butterfly, they always need time for themselves and that should be respected.
Gemini and Business:

Gemini tends to disperse their energy on different tasks and not just focus on one thing thus leaving a trail of unfinished projects in their wake. If they were to focus their energy in one place, their cleverness and intelligence would allow them to complete their project with success and creativity. Gemini makes an excellent manager, they can motivate a team with their enthusiasm and vitality. They also make excellent salespeople because their ease of communication allows them to be clever and make a comeback to anything a person says. They can persuade and manipulate very well. They can easily justify any move they make and explain any action.
Gemini Temperament:

Gemini have the ability to react instantly to situations, and as a result, they have a very nervous temperament. They can be compared to a wound up spring as they attempt to absorb everything they can about their surroundings at once. The fact that they enjoy various situations and people add to their nervousness and that means they are almost constantly wound up. However, if they experience boredom and have nothing to survey, they get the same emotions, the need for excitement and variety. This is the Gemini duality, constantly conflicting emotions in one spontaneous, excitable package.
Gemini Deep Inside:

One downfall of Gemini is their superficiality. Instead of looking deep into a person's real qualities, Gemini will judge a person by the way they treat them. This can lead Gemini to have wrong impressions of people and can cause problems ion relationships. Gemini's can have feeling of discouragement and moodiness although they never allow this to be seen by anyone but heir closest friends or family. Gemini usually want everyone to think that they are always happy and doing wonderfully and stress never affects them.
Gemini in a Nutshell:

Gemini people are many sided, quick both in the mind and physically. They are brimming with energy and vitality, they are clever with words. They are intelligent and very adaptable to every situation and every person. Gemini are curious and always want to know what's going on in the world around them. They are not one to sit back and watch the world go by, they want to be involved. This can sometimes make Gemini nosy, they do not mind their own business! This is because they really enjoy communicating, more so then most other astrology signs, they are the ultimate social butterfly. Gemini can talk and talk, but they have interesting things to say, their talk is not mindless babble. They have interesting opinions and thoughts on things and are not afraid to speak their mind. They are always in the know and are the one to see for the latest juicy gossip. Lacking perseverance, Gemini easily goes off topic to explore another thought or idea. Gemini are superficial, they will form opinions on matter without diving into them and exploring them fully. This can lead them into thinking they know everything, which they usually do but their mind is too busy to be concerned with fine details. Routine and boredom are Gemini's biggest fears. Gemini would rather be naive then know the depressing truth, they do not want anything putting a damper on their freedom or positive energy.



Gemini Love, Sex and Relationships

What it's like to date a Gemini Woman:

The Gemini woman is truly enchanting. However, dating her might feel more like a friendship then a real relationship due to her casual nature. This is not necessarily a disadvantage, for the casual man who shy's away from overly romantic emotions, she is the perfect woman. Since she is the astrology sign of the duality, she offers quite the challenge. One one hand, she needs to be nurtured, loved and catered to and on the other hand, she needs stimulation and novelty. She is very demanding and if you do not provide what she wants, she will be off onto the next adventure pretty quickly. To keep her interested is a challenge, not completely impossible so she is the perfect woman for the man who likes stimulation and a challenge. She needs a partner with a quick mind, she tends to poke and prod at the emotions and the minds of those who are mentally slower then her, make sure you can keep up to her wit or you will briskly be left behind. She is prone to keeping men on a string, not completely heartlessly, she is evaluating if the man is worth her attention and her time she has no time to waste with a dull man. Once you have her approval, she can easily become jealous. The reason for her is jealousy is that if she is going to open up to a man, when she rarely completely opens up to anyone, she does not want to risk her being deceived or hurt. If you are with a Gemini woman and she becomes jealous, you are on the right track to true love! Gemini women are so exciting that they are worth the effort, you will remember her forever!
What it's like to date a Gemini Man:

He is a great date - charming, witty, funny, clever, talkative, creative, adventurous, just make sure you can keep up with him! Women are drawn to Gemini men because of their zest for life and their vitality and enthusiasm. You may have competition to if you are trying to win his heart. Do not expect to win him and keep him all to yourself. He is flighty and dictates his own,. He will not allow himself to be pinned down and ruled by a woman. You are going to be his sidekick, not his passionate lover. He loves women and is very good at persuading them and manipulating them with his cleverness getting them into bed, he will say anything to get what he wants. He is the master of seduction. If you are looking for a great fling, the gemini man is your top choice.

How To Attract Gemini:

Love to talk, that is the first rule about impressing a Gemini. Be knowledgeable about that you talk about too because Gemini are intelligent and have lots of knowledge about many things. If you are an expert on a certain topic, teach them about it, you will impress them because this know-it-all sign is does not usually know fine details about a lot of things, they are too busy to bother to learn. Speak your mind, engage them in a friendly debate but never be too conservative, they find this dull. Be honest and loyal to a Gemini, once they have had their trust broken they usually will never get it back again. Gemini are easy to date, they will do any activity anywhere. Just have fun, like you would with a friends because that's what Gemini are, a great friend.

Gemini Erogenous Zone:

Gemini's hot spots are the hands and arms. These are very sensitive regions and are very receptive a massage and a gentle touch or stroke. This also calms the high-strung Gemini and relaxes them, setting the mood for passion. Gemini's usually love their finger being sucked or nibbled, a great integration into foreplay that will heighten the mood. Gemini women love it when a man grabs their hand and kisses it, like a princess.

Sex With Gemini:

Gemini loves to experiment and sex with a Gemini is full of novelty and excitement, trying anything and everything nearly anywhere. Gemini is not for the faint of heart or the shy and secretive lovers!

I'm so over being blue crying over you.

I don't wanna know, I don't wanna know, I don't wanna know!

You said the same thing too you know.
But never once, out loud.

I'm falling fast, but the truth is I'm not scared at all.

Back from Jakarta and there's so much to say! But I am thinking, blogging isn't gonna be easy. So I'll just keep the memories within my heart and mind. :)

I lack the motivation to come in blogger and blog about my happenings already. Cause it doesn't feel right at all. Now that I've got twitter, I find it easier to connect my thoughts with just sentences instead of paragraphs. Lately, so many sad incidents are happening to my close ones. I can't help but feel, affected too. But, I don't want it to be a problem for me. I'm not seeing it as a problem now, but I hope I don't in the future.

In Jakarta, one of the many long-hours ride made me ponder and think - Life's too short to have regrets. I thought of someone. Then another face appeared. And another, and another..

Right, I used to stubbornly insist that Estee Kho doesn't regret. But in actual fact, who doesn't? Don't blame a Gemini for her stubbornness, cause it's just it. Somehow, I couldn't swallow the fact that I've been living for 17 years. How the 17 years just went by like that, How much did I go through during this 17 years, How much ups have I felt rather than down and vice versa, etc.

I'm an aunt now. I've got nieces and nephews now. I'm 17 with a mind of my own and I have to choose my own direction I wish to head, with who I want, with what my goals are, etc.

I want to go back to my childhood so much, I want to have a child so much too. I just want the past and future, but not the present. It's a wonder why people say the present of my life now is the best, when everything seems to be a dead end with problems falling on me like a pile of bricks. It hurts. Then again, my resistance makes me feel, good. I don't wanna crumble under that pile of rocks. I don't want to succumb to fate. I want everyone around me to be happy. I want to be happy. But, how?

Tick, Tock, Tick.

Life is an irony,
Love is an agony.
Living is painful,
Loving is hurtful.
Look as it happened,
Leave as it dampens.
Learn to accept,
Lie to reject.
Level to your limits,
Listen to your minutes.

Tick, Tock, Tick.
