Enduring the pain of letting go :(

Posted on August 7, 2008 by jj326
Love is such a fragile emotion, the symbol of love : A HEART… it breaks and damages so easily with the slightest intentions or negligence.
How do you find something that would mend a depleted and hurt heart?
Is it something other than ‘love’ that would fill the missing pieces? It’s happiness.
Happiness guides you out of the dark, it comes hand in hand with love, If you find happiness…. u can love again.

Another ‘love’ could approach you, but without being happy, love would not surpass the obstacles u’ve put up.
Obstacles such as lost of trust, lost of commitment….. How can I break through and love again??
 Untangle yourself from worry and doubt~~~~~~~~ because love is like a butterfly, the more you try to catch and possess it, the futher it flies.
Let it go, set it free and it will find it’s way back at the most unexpected times…

Self-encouragement for the day : Keep your head up and don’t lose faith, Jen !! 🙂

I’m an aunty :)

Posted on February 5, 2008 by jj326

I’ve been an aunt for about 7 months now. What a weird, different feeling. hehe 🙂 My baby neice is adorable!
Can’t believe that my sister’s finally a mom now. I’m so happy for her ^__^.
Makes me recall how little time I’ve actually spent with family. Living away from home for 3 years now.
It’s quite unbelievable how quickly time flies. As a whole there’s been so much experience gained, so many lonely nights, yet tremendous personal growth!
People come to turning points in their lives and sometimes I look back and wonder if I’ve chosen the right roads.
Where and who I am today has been altered as opposed to if I’ve decided to stay with family.

Relationships also seemed hopeless, but I’ve begun to discover what true happiness is. It’s not how other people make you feel, it’s how you choose to feel.
People can make you happy , sad… but you can find that spending time with yourself uncovers a deeper understanding of self-realisation.
You don’t need external factors to adjust or elevate your moods. It’s easy in words, but really difficult to master.
I can be happy single or in a relationship 🙂 I guess it all depends on the mind and attitude towards life!

Xmas in Cape Town

Posted on January 13, 2007 by jj326
What a relief from the stress at work. Finally I’ve had a chance to go on vacation since I’ve started my career here 🙂 It was desperately needed. It was absolute freedom when I felt the ocean breeze to my face. Although a bit short, we managed to cramp all the tourist attractions into our tight schedule. I got sunburnt badly on my face though. How awful!

Work work work!!!!

Posted on October 16, 2006 by jj326
This new job is seriously killing me 😦 What a stressful industry!! I’ve almost had enough and it’s only been the beginning of my third week there..awww, I feel so drained and exhausted.. Gosh, I’m feeling that I might get grey hairs soon..hahaha.. (a very broken and forced laugh there)  .. I guess it’s a challenge, if I look at it from another angle~~ Well, what can I say, I’m young and this serves as a major boost for my learning curve… Learn learn learn, ask ask ask!!! This is a tiring job though, need to think sharp, respond promptly and prepare for WAR with shipping lines and transporters…aaah!! Took a break in September, about a week’s duration to spend with my family back home in Bloemfontein, it was such a pleasure to be able to feel free and relaxed again. A well deserved rest, peace and quiet from the busy city life in Johannesburg too. I can’t live without nature, being the outdoorey person that I am, too much of the urban life would frustrate and bury me. I miss the beach…………..

New job offer :)

Posted on September 9, 2006 by jj326
I’ve been offered another job, went for the interview twice and I made it! 🙂 YaY!!! I got notified yesterday, quite shocking! Never would’ve expected it. It’s quite a big company, internationally recognised, can’t wait..I’m so excited..
Well apart from the good news out of the blue, we’ve also had another unfortunate incident that happened to my sister 😦
She found out that she had a miscarriage.. It’s horrible, seems like this is a year filled with ups and downs for me 😦
The family was shocked to find out, once again another heartbreak~ I guess after all these mishaps and unfortunate events, we’ve all learned to grow from our experiences. We were all so happy and looking forward to expect a new member in our family, but I suppose things happened for a reason. Maybe the baby didn’t have a bond with our family and wasn’t meant to be born yet……. *sigh*

Gran’s Passing

Posted on July 1, 2006 by jj326
My grandma passed away yesterday morning..She had brain cancer. We first discovered brain tumor two years back. She had been struggling for so long 😦
It was painful for us to see her suffer in pain, so the only way our family can comfort ourselves is to see her passing as a relief for her. My gran hasn’t even reached the age of 70 yet.
 
Life is too short, I haven’t been able to see my gran often because I came to South Africa when I was 3 years old. Till now, I’ve only managed to see her 4 or 5 times. Even though we live on different sides of the world, I feel so close to her. Each time we’d have to part and come back to South Africa, she would cry 😦
 
It was shocking to hear, my day at work went upside down, I couldn’t think and everything I did turned out to be mistakes. It’s so depressing when you have to let go of someone so dear.
 
In the Chinese culture, they believe that they return to see their families on the 7th day after their passing, to say their goodbyes. People usually see them in their dreams. Hopefully I’ll get to say goodbye to her too…..
