The Shoulders

She carry us all so strong on both of her shoulders. Those broad and steady ones are very distinct from her other small stature but she carry them with such grace & gratefulness. 


She carries all the loads, the should’ve and must haves; everything and everyone that crosses her paths. All will be taken a very good care of & by the end of the day, she’s just grateful that she manages to be a good listener, a wonderful spouse & one loving mother.


“But then who carries her when time gets tough?” you asked.


Well, that’s the amazing thing about her family. They carry her back. Gestures that is albeit small, but very meaningful.


The instantly answered call whenever she needed (whenever he can), a come-back home even for 1 to 2 hours only, a hug that lingers a little longer & the reassuring smiles with those hearty and teasy laughs.


And one little hand who reaches out to her over and over again with endless hugs & kisses, often times accompanied by a gentle stroke on her back.


So the shoulders might slumped from time to time but there will be moments for them to straightened up again, right?


Please look forward to those slumped & upright times because c’est la vie. We should enjoy it while we can 😉

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...

Heart Will Tell

We were once 25 and 25. Young, wild, but never free. We were attracted so much with each other and being sure so well that we’re engaged on our first month of meeting one another;  married exactly six months later. And the rest is history. We travel, we eat, we laugh, we love. It was a straight out of an eat, pray, love movie-kind of relationship. But we also fight. We fight & flight, we learn hard to swallow our pride, we listen to each other’s bicker and snide, but we always  got our spouses back and side. Because they are our one, true love after all.  Marriage is a long shot on the long run but  it will be a joyful long-ness if you’re  in it with the right person. And the heart will tell. Your heart will tell you who, when & how this person will turn up.  And it will always; most definitely &  most certainly worth the wait 😊 Ananda Khaira Azizah, Pekanbaru, 19 Juli 2025.
