When the Screens Went Asleep

When every digital screen in Kampung Seri Paya suddenly goes dark at exactly 7:17 a.m., curious Eddy and his friends Arif and Mei Lin discover an abandoned signalling tower, a mysterious blue machine, and a forgotten experiment designed to preserve the sounds of village life. But when the machine begins collecting memories and growing stronger, the friends must uncover its secret before the entire kampung becomes trapped inside a world of recorded memories. Along the way, they discover that some things—stories, laughter, friendship and the memories shared between people—are far too precious to leave inside a machine.

The Map That Led to Nowhere (And Everywhere)

When Eddy stumbles into a leaf pile — and a mysterious, hand-drawn map — his quiet kampung afternoon turns into an all-out neighbourhood mystery. With his sharp-tongued sister Anna and treasure-obsessed best friend Eu Jun in tow, the trio follows wobbly pencil lines to a hidden well behind the old clock tower, unearthing more than they bargained for: a rusted tin of photographs, a decades-old promise, and a secret two beloved kampung adults have carried since childhood.

What starts as a scavenger-hunt caper soon becomes something far warmer — a story about growing up, staying rooted, and discovering that the best treasures aren’t buried in the ground but planted in the people and places we call home. Set against the sights, smells, and rhythms of a lively Malaysian kampung, The Map That Led to Nowhere (And Everywhere) is a heartfelt, funny, and gently mysterious tale about friendship, memory, and the maps we all carry back to where we belong.
