The Mother’s Lair

Welcome to the mother’s lair.

The lair is humble from the start, then it gets even humbler when her child enters the frame.


Now let me tell you what you might see there :


You might see her shoes scattered around because her child always gave it to her asking to go out.


You might see the toys going places because they did go everywhere the child goes; you might see his animal figurines at the far end of the room because he throws them so, very far away and you might find little things hidden under the fridge; bed or anything with spaces underneath for the child to tuck in his small, precious things.


Then comes the second lair is her car. Now the car is her second home then of course it became her child’s second home too.


You will see that the balls are there (so many of them), his slippers; shoes; fresh diapers; wet wipes and anything else. You can also find his hat & his busy board.


But underneath it all, you will see the mother who did her best. In every level at literally everywhere.


To keep the house clean, the fridge full, the groceries running & every need of the household met.


It sure takes two to tango but our contribution is not nothing, right? So please be proud of who you are & what you do. Really believes & really models them too because your child sees and your child copies.


A good and happy mother always equals to a good and happy child. So you take care of the mother, then the mother will take care of everything else.


We will take care of everything else.

The city of Malacca

I always love photography and this  piqturesque city is just a great fit for me. With its rich history and the red square that’s very touristy, this walkable city  is one of UNESCO’s world heritage;  along with Penang and its George  Town famous mural on the wall. Oh thank God my place is near this beautiful little town. It’s my third time here and  still, an all time favorite all in all. This time I’m here with hubby, hoping  next time we’ll be back with baby. Pretty sure he’ll enjoy this city  just as much as mommy. The vibrant color, its laidback atmosphere with beautiful lights show all over the city is really one to die for. This city has pulse, so alive in its own way. The city that instantly & completely feels  like home. I hope, oh I hope each of you also  has one particular city that hold your heart forever, I hope you find your  own home away from home.

The House

The house is the perfect copy of our old house. That’s why it’s very precious to me. Its front, the layout, the stairs, the room arrangements, down to the balcony. The place where both of my grandparents were still healthy. I’ve been missing him since yesterday, you know. And it didn’t dissipate until today, it gets worse. I hope he’s okay there. By this time I know that once someone is gone, you really never see them anymore. Not even in your dream. And I started to lose any ideas of how to see him, when his old photos begin to blur just as much as the memory. We miss you, Angku. We miss you so much and we don’t know how to deal with it.  I hope life after life treats you good. The only thing that we can give to you now is our prayer and our never ending love.  Please, can you just visit me in my dream from time to time? I’m just missing you a lot and it might’ve lessen the pain a little bit. We love you, Angku. Ananda Khaira Azizah, Pekanbaru, 11 Juli 2025. Hari Jumat, pukul...

Laughter in The Fire

There’s this laughter in the fire So amazingly free, it baffles everyone who see. “Does she have no worries?” Everyone asked. Oh but she did, darling. She just choose to laugh her heart out in that moment of fire. For the fire’s too pretty, Too fierce to be weight by our past and present worries. Tomorrow we’ll have all day of everyday to get back to that. But for now, let’s just laugh with no worries. For we need that laugh to keep us going. Ananda Khaira Azizah, Pekanbaru, 21 Mei 2025.
