 Video Tale Click Here



Saya telah menghasilkan sebuah cerita bertajuk 'Keris yang Berbisik' untuk pembaca berumur 8 hingga 12 tahun yang mengisahkan tentang pengembaraan sebuah senjata sakti yang hanya berkomunikasi dengan mereka yang berhati jujur.





Malay: Keris yang Berbisik

Di celah-celah debu arkib lama Muzium Negara, tersisip sebilah keris yang hulu gadingnya sudah mula menguning. Namun, di sebalik sarung kayu jati yang usang itu, bilah lok tujuhnya menyimpan satu rahsia kuno. Ia bukan sekadar senjata; ia adalah penimbang nyawa. Kononnya, besi kawi itu hanya akan bergetar dan membisikkan kebenaran kepada mereka yang berhati jujur, manakala bagi si pembohong, ia hanyalah sebilah besi buruk yang bisu dan dingin.


English: The Whispering Keris

Tucked away amidst the dust of the National Museum's ancient archives lay a keris with an ivory hilt that had begun to yellow with age. Yet, beneath its weathered teak sheath, the seven-waved blade held an ancient secret. It was more than a mere weapon; it was a weigh-master of souls. Legend says the sacred iron only vibrates and whispers truths to those with an honest heart, while to a liar, it remains nothing but a piece of mute, cold scrap metal.

Tôi đã viết một câu chuyện khoa học viễn tưởng dành cho các bạn nhỏ từ 9 đến 12 tuổi về hành trình của một cậu bé tại thành phố Hà Nội lơ lửng giữa tầng mây năm 2100 và phát hiện kỳ diệu về một hạt giống từ mặt đất cổ xưa.

Vào năm 2100, Hà Nội không còn nằm trên mặt đất mà bồng bềnh giữa những tầng mây như một hạm đội ánh sáng khổng lồ. Giữa những tòa tháp bạc và những con đường tơ lụa kỹ thuật số, cậu bé Minh vô tình nhặt được một vật thể kỳ lạ bị vùi sâu trong lớp bụi rác thải điện tử: một hạt giống nhỏ bé, nâu thẫm và đầy nhựa sống từ "thế giới mặt đất" xa xưa. Đó là mầm xanh duy nhất còn sót lại trong một kỷ nguyên mà thiên nhiên chỉ còn là những ký ức được lập trình.

The Crow’s Collection

 



Video Tale Click Here


A story for children aged 6 to 8 about a clever crow whose collection of shimmering trinkets reveals the hidden history of a bustling town. I hope you and your young reader enjoy exploring these metallic treasures!



The Crow’s Collection


The town of Oakhaven didn’t keep its history in dusty ledgers or marble monuments; it kept it in the hollow of an old cedar tree, guarded by a bird named Silas. To the locals, Silas was just a nuisance with a penchant for theft, but to the crow, he was a curator.


Every silver thimble, rusted key, and discarded locket was a chapter of a story only he could read. He tucked a jagged shard of cobalt glass—the remains of the 1924 apothecary fire—beside a tarnished brass button from a soldier who never came home. As the morning sun hit his hoard, the light fractured into a thousand shimmering memories, a resplendent mosaic of everything the people of Oakhaven had loved and lost. Silas didn't just want the shine; he wanted the weight of the years that came with it.

The Indigo Thread

The Indigo Thread


The Indigo Thread

High above the clouds, a vein of shimmering sapphire ice cracks, releasing a tiny, crystalline explorer. This mountain-born traveler tumbles down slopes of slate-grey stone, churning into a frothy marshmallow white as it leaps over waterfalls. As it reaches the valley, the water calms into a deep emerald pool, reflecting the ancient ferns that lean over its banks.

Suddenly, the wild journey is harnessed. The river enters the great iron pipes—a dark, hidden world—where it is scrubbed until it sparkles like liquid diamond. Finally, a silver handle turns, and the mountain’s long, colourful trek ends as a cool, translucent arc splashing into your glass.

The Investigator’s Ink


To capture the mystery of Clover Street, use a palette that highlights the eerie absence of darkness.

  • Daisy’s Gear: Colour her iconic trench coat a classic tan or muted beige, making her stand out against the landscape. Give her spectacles a bright tortoiseshell frame and her magnifying glass a gleaming silver rim.
  • The Environment: Use a vivid, saturated grass green and a brilliant sky blue to make the scene feel unnaturally bright. Without shadows to provide depth, the world should look almost "too" sunny.
  • The Clues: Use a misty, charcoal grey or soft lavender-grey for the trail of dust. This subtle, ghostly colour should represent the missing shadows, looking like a faded memory of the darkness that used to be there.
