Elly in Her Wonderland

Assalamualaikum,

Tajuk dia tu sebenarnya diinspirasikan daripada cerita Alice In The Wonderland - my all time favourite cartoon.

So, yeah. Pehal tetiba tulis cerita ni en?

Semalam. Tengok Alice Through the Looking Glass dengan Aini and Elly menangis teroxx. Dua tiga scene jugaklah scene dia yang mampu menggetarkan jiwa jantan kau en. Dengan quotes dia bapak awesome. Wallahi

Okay. Elly bukan nak review cerita tu (obviously Elly akan kata best since im biased)

Cuma nak cerita something bout me. Since tak ada yang sudi dengar selain Allah SWT (i once told this story to Him. True story) so yeah i decided to share it here

I was known as the "Weirdo" of the family (or still am?

Just like Alice, Elly sorang je in the family yang ada imaginary friends and her own fantasy world. Plus, i got few bears and one doll padahal yang lain ada satu or langsung takde

It all started after my dad left us. Mak kata Elly change 360°. Dulu jenis ramah and nak dekat dengan orang. Makan banyak, kuat nanges macam biasa

Tapi after he left,
Elly menyendiri. Duduk dalam bilik, makan tak lalu. Selalu cakap sorang-sorang. Tak berapa nak bergaul. Asyik menangis.

Well, probably I was missing my father but I dont know how to express it. Untuk orang yang sentiasa berkepit 24/7 dengan ayah dia, yang baru belajar nak sayang someone and then poof. Hes gone  mestilah peritkan?

Umur 4 tahun. Manalah reti nak berceloteh sangatkan.

So, yeah. To recover from missing him i began to have my own imaginary friend. Larry and Lisa (the name were taken from English textbook - darjah 1), my furry, friend, Beary, Coco, and Johan (the doll).

They were my besties back then. Just like Alice, i was consider as weirdo and ridiculous.

"Scarynya cakap sorang-sorang"
"Mak risaulah tengok Elly tu. Dia macam caka dengan something. Nak kena bawak jumpa ustaz ke?"
"Elly ni kalau cakap dengan dia, dia selalu tak dengar. Macam dia ada dunia sendiri"

And yes. Really. I got my own world.
Kakchik, Angah, Along duduk asrama
Amin kepit dengan mak
Kakdilah and kakdibah berkepit time tu
So , i end up left along

I was an introvert back then. Cikgu pun bising Elly pendiam sangat. Dah sekolah menengah kena complain bising pulak hahahaha

Well, just like the Cheshire Cat said,
"Imagination is the only weapon in a war against reality"

I create my own world as an entertainment.
Create it to escape from reality
Create it to avoid my own feeling
Create it to keep whats hidden inside me

I had a wonderful time with them (my 'friends')
Setiap kali menangis, diorang pujuk
Bila sunyi, diorang temankan
Bila kena marah, diorang tempat mengadu
Bila rasa seronok, dia tempat berkongsi

For you, it might sounds weird.
Tapi siapa yang pernah ada their own imaginary world or friends,
Diorang akan faham seronok dia macam mana

Later, when i find out about Alice in The Wonderland

Elly terus jatuh cinta because Alice is so relatable with me. Punya suka sampai email pun bubuh Aliceally. Dahlah nama lebih kurang en 

So,
If you notice someone like your lil sister, cousins ke yang ada imaginary friends
Yang rajin interact dengan diorang
Bukannya anak bunian ke jelmaan jin macam dalam movie Conjuring tu,

Trylah get to know them better
Cuba join in ke layankan je
Kids.
Bila dia tak tahu nak express something,
bila loner and tak tahu buat apa
Dia akan create something liddat

Jangan marah dia. Jangan kutuk ke apa
Sebaliknya terima and layankan je
Slow - slow benda tu akan hilang jugak
Macam Elly. Darjah 2-3 camtu hilang dah

Mana tahu, imagination dia dulu boleh jadi sumber creativity dia masa akan datang.
Boleh jadi profit. Boleh jadi sumber inspirasi dia untuk ubah imaginasi itu menjadi reality ke

Imagination is a gift
Tak semua lahir dengan creativity untuk berimaginasi
Galakkan mereka untuk asah creativity dengan rajin berimaginasi
Trust me.
Kalau tak ada imaginasi,
JK Rowling takkan jadi millionaire
Takkan wujud Lord Of The Ring,
Star Wars, Alice, Star Trek,
Semua tu debu je if imagination is nothing

If you shared the same experience a i did,
Then dont worry.
Its okay to be weird
Its okay to be different
Chin up and embrace it
Proud of it

Kadang-kadang dunia ini perlukan kelainan dan orang macam kita yang 'lain' inilah perlu buktikan

Kelebihan kelainan
Kelebihan menjadi lain 
