J-emine's reflexionando

Oops sorry for the radio silence 🙂

It’s been a merry, merry December filled with lots of wonderful gatherings, encounters, heart to heart chats, ponders, enlightenment and all that other bits and pieces that makes this month, my favourite. The collage above does no justice to the other wonderful beings/things that has bought so much cheer and colour into my life during this festive month. I love you all, but one of the most important lesson that I’ve come to learn over and over again..is how I need to love myself truly and embrace my innermost.

One of my favourite quote from weibo : 少欲，才是人生最大的幸福；知足，才是人生最大的富裕; 爱心，才是人生最好的良伴; 智慧，才是人生最好的明灯。幸福和快乐不存在于外境，而来源于内心的宝藏。如果你想获得真正的幸福和快乐，不要向外寻求，应当从内心中发挥和挖掘。

Sorry to digress 🙂

That scared weekend in KL – the decision to embark on that very special course was the best decision made this year. The course will continue on till March and even though it’s way too personal to share here, I shall just say it has done so much for my soul – it was the fertilizer that I dearly needed for my own growth, be it the mind or soul. And, how I wish this wonderful revelation and enlightenment on all those dear to me. One of my dearest gf is embarking on this self- discovery in March and I can’t wait to see how it works on her.

Everything kinda went into a frenzy after that particular weekend – there was the craziness of Xmas shopping, slotting in brunches with the gfs, dinner dates and making sure the house was ready for our small but cozy Eve dinner. This year’s Xmas had me missing my Xmas (es) in NY even more, especially after the meet up with David and Grace, whom last saw me when I was a wee kid in Mt. Vernon. Oh how time flies…

And, in a few more days we’ll be bidding 2011 farewell. This NYE, the fogies will host their annual party (in the past it would always be on Xmas Eve) to commemorate our last year in this house; we got two J’s celebrating their birthday (30th and 31st Dec) and Dad’s promised to bake them a cake. There’s going to be loads of laughter, togetherness, remembrance for those that have left us and gratitude for all that we have and the dear ones surrounding us.

2011, you’ve been full of growth and pain but I would never want it any other way.
