Welcome to Wonderland




“Nothing around here is quite as it seems
Not sure if anything's real or a dream
And the only thing sure from the start
Is the song that's inside of your heart
Don't let it leave”
Welcome to wonderland – Anson Seabra

          The “wonderland” that I’ll be talking in this script is about the wonderland of your dreams. My junior once asked me about my writings, “Where did you get your inspiration? How can you make such writings, a lot of them, even, in a brief period of time?” And I replied, “I get my inspiration from anything, from anywhere. It could be from my own past experiences, some words in a book that I like, a fraction of lyrics, movies or anything. And believe me, the more books that you have read, more movies that you've watched, more writings that you’ve done, and many songs that you've listened to will contribute to your ideas, it will makes your words flow like a river. Instantly.”

          It’s true. I often do that. I listened to a song, I conversed with my friends, and suddenly an idea popped in my head. Things get better if I write all of that down right away, though. But if it’s not, the idea will come back to me sooner or later, it always does. But one thing that I must do is I have to write that idea down, so I have the gist of what I want to write, at the very least. I can always develop and finish that idea later.

          Like Anson Seabra said on his “Welcome to Wonderland” that the only thing that is sure from the beginning is the song that you have inside of your heart, you should never let it fade away, ever. Hold your dream real tight, in your heart, and never let it go. No matter how dumb or how weird your dream might sound. I have a dream for my blog to be published in the form of a book, honestly. I have that one specific big dream in my heart, and I hold it close to me.

          So, welcome to wonderland! The place where you’ll find your wildest, most discrete, most joyful dream ever. May you have the best time of your life! And remember, everyone that leaves has a heavy heart. O Wonderland, I love.

    "Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
    The jaws that bite, the claw that catch."

    My mind is full of 'beware' Nan, sometimes it's become out of control somehow 😅.
    In my most 'Jabberwock' moment, I sublimate, I do journaling too.

    "One two! one two! And through and through.
    The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!"
    Typing or writing, my pen or qwerty is my 'vorpal blade', 'snicker-snacking' my own evil.

    "He left it dead, and with its head.
    He went galumphing back."
    After finish and reread, dayum, that's a lot of 'blood' there, I learn a lot by your writing, especially the neutrality, mine is so much affect dominant and unfeasible by public.

    Keep it going, chase your dream Nan!

A Letter to My Baby

I want you to see, baby. I want you to see that we’re just a human as much as anybody. That Mama sometimes cry and a little sappy, that she might even cry when she’s angry. Your Papa is generally funny but  he might be quiet when he’s worry. We love hard & play hard but of course we still fight, we talk good and do good but mistakes will still be made. I want you to know that it is okay to be mad when you’re angry; to be sad when you’re lonely, to be jelly, to feel icky and to  experience any emotions other  than feeling happy. Sometimes people still smile even when they do not feel so smiley. It’s the thing people do for many reasons, really. They are just complex with all of their story. And we human often are difficult with feelings, but it is always good to let things out than to bottled it up. Because the explosion might not be pretty. So please just be kind to everyone, baby. Because we all deserve of being loved just as much as everybody. The messiness, the cra...

The soft orange wall

There’s a nice glow from the room outside. It was warm, inviting, pretty. Ever so beautiful like we live in the golden hour, all time glow. I hope the new room will bring new adventure to baby. With its soft orange colored wall,  surrounded with toys that he likes and people that he loves. I hope he’ll grow as warm as his new wall.  Bold but not too bold; brave but not too brave, only enough. Enough to make people sit & feel comfortable with him and his presence.  The wall is cautious, warm & beautiful. An instant homely feelings will be felt when you take your first step into the room.  I hope, oh I hope that room will always remind him of home. I hope it will always remind him of us.  Ananda Khaira Azizah, Pekanbaru, 27 Maret 2025. Hari Kamis, pukul 10 pagi.

The Family Who Read

         I was raised in a family who appreciate reading. It’s all started way back when we were young. We grew up reading comic books, our parents often gave us books as our “naik kelas”’s gifts. So we ended up looking forward to books. I remember the feeling when we were anxiously waiting for our packs of books to open, couldn’t wait to read it as we already waiting for it for a long time. And as a continuation of that, by the time we were a teenager, we expand our liking to novels, and our house filled with fantasy books such as “Eragon”, “The Bartimaeus Trilogy” by Jonathan Stroud, books written by Cornelia Funke, “Maximum Ride” by James Patterson and the likes which supplied by our mother. So myself in particular found solace and curiousity in fantasy books.           So then we developed our love for books. Growing up, each of us found our own genre, as my brother likes “Haruki Murakami”, me and my father...
