W3: A Day Without Water

Date:Saturday,July5,2025 Location: Kuala Lumpur (KL), Malaysia      This morning started just like any other lazy Saturday. I had planned to finally enjoy a free weekend, go out, and maybe explore a new café. I stretched, yawned, and went straight to the bathroom to freshen up, but when I turned on the tap. I was shocked because there’s not a single drop of water coming out. I stared in confusion for a second, then quickly grabbed my phone to see what was going on.      That’s when I saw it “ Kuala Lumpur to face one-day water cut due to extreme heat and prolonged drought. ” I was shocked.  I'm living alone in Kuala Lumpur for my studies.

I had no idea this was coming and this the first time I'm facing this situation alone, I hadn’t stored even a single bucket of water.      My perfect Saturday was ruined. ...

W2: My Invention to Save the Earth

AquaGuard : The Ocean's Smartest Sharks The ocean is the heart of our planet, yet every year, millions of tons of plastic and oil spill into our oceans. This makes the sea dirty, harms marine life and accelerates climate change. To help save the Earth, I invented a special robot called AquaGuard.

It’s made of ocean-friendly, corrosion-resistant materials and is powered fully by solar energy. Large solar panels are built into their back to charge itself while it swims near the surface, this allowing it to workday after day without harming the environment. The AquaGuard robot's "belly" acts like ...

W1: "The World I Want to Live In"

Image
The world I want to live in is a world filled with warmth, not from the sun, but from people. A world where everyone, no matter their background, gender, or beliefs, feels welcomed, respected, and safe. That is the world I aspire to live in: a peaceful, just, and inclusive one. 🌍 What Would This World Look, Sound, and Feel Like? In this world, there are no sounds of bombs, gunshots, or angry shouting. You can hear children laughing in the park, music in the streets, and kind conversations between strangers. You would walk down the road without fear of being judged, hurt, or excluded. The community I imagine is like a big family. People help one another without expecting anything in return. Neighbors know each other’s names, children play together no matter their race or religion, and everyone feels like they belong. No one is left out. Everyone has food to eat, a place to stay, and someone who cares about them. Justice is not just an idea; it’s real and lived. In this world, e...
