#3: Stay Home

Photographs connect us, even though we are apart. This week, we ask you to take photographs from wherever you are - take a picture of whatever is close to your heart during these uncertain times, or help anchors you to a sense of normalcy in this turbulent period. Are there common items we all relate to? What stories can we tell behind these everyday objects?

Bagai sayur kurang garam
Daun bawang penikmat goreng telur, apalah aku ini hanya seorang Wanita yg mengais rejeki demi masa depan Riken

In this closed room
With gaps in the window grille next to the bed
When looking at the sky
That's when I remembered my mother
How long do not call "mother, mother".
It seemed like a chest to call
The inside is dry,

YOU'RE not ALONE

Sometimes you think you'll be fine by yourself

'Cause a dream is a wish you make all alone

Its easy to feel like you don't need help

But its

harder to walk on your own

You'll change

Inside

When you

Realize

The world comes to life

And everything's bright

From beginning to end

When you have a faith 

By your side

That helps you to find

The beauty of all

When you'll open your heart and

Believe in

Being at home is made easier when you have an ever loyal animal friend- here is KopiO - rescued as a kitten from the side of a flyover.

My boss's daughter gave this to me when I was admitted in Tan Tock Seng. She told me, it will be  my companion as they couldn't visit me often. It helps, because since then Potpot as i call it became my companion especially this Circuit Breaker.

I pour all my emotions to her, shes my stress reliever, absorber, and forever companion.( she has pen mark because of my carelessnes , shes always with me while I'm writing)

As Circuit Breaker started. Days are getting longer. To kill the time, i played with my best friend!

Dear, my precious dog Mr. Tiger. Your not a human being or a thing. 

But during this turbulent time of grief and isolation.

You are my everything. 

The closest bond that connects me to my haven. 

You made me feel I'm worthy valued and important. 

Unconditional love, endless loyalty. 

What else  a lonely human being like me 

 could asked for

your more than a companion. 

Thanks for keeping my sanity.

It might be a uncertain times, but there's one thing that I'm sure in the name of certainty. 

Your the one so close to my heart. 

I'm hoping we will never part. 

Through my poems, your always a part of my great work of art. 

Your my one big inspiration, helps me for my motivation. 

My self confidence leads me on to face the challenges in  this covid 19 situation. 

Thank you for your company through this poem and photo showing you my respect gratitude and appreciation.

Hatiku yang sudah kau bohongi selama Dan dikhianati. Tak Akan rapuh terlulai Dan jatuh. Seperti Kain perca yang dibuang masih bisa ku desain menjadi Gaun yang indah.
