Sleep Well, Squeeze Tight

Do you know how to hug your child?

I hug him sweetly,

I squeeze him tightly,

I hold him frequently.

Do you know how to kiss your child?

I kiss him playfully,

I kiss him longingly,

I kiss him lovingly.

And do you know what I get in return?

My loving, playful, and sweet, sweet child.

Who hug the way I hug, kiss the way I kiss, speak the way I speak (and laugh the way I laugh) 😂🤣

Boy have I ever been so in love 🥰

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. Ananda Khaira Azizah, Kota Malaka, 5 April 2025.

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.
