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 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.

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...
