The Sad Moment

Our country, Malaysia, has not gotten a gold medal in the Olympics yet. Dato' Lee Wei was our hope to get the first gold medal, but he only managed to win a silver medal.

  Dato' Lee Chong Wei, 29, a Malaysian badminton player, won his second silver medal in the Olympics Badminton Men's Singles Final. His target was to win Malaysia's first Olympic gold medal but he couldn't reach it as his nemesis, Lin Dan, the Chinese player, blast out his real talent and on the match.

  Dato' Lee Chong Wei lost to Lin Dan with the result of 15-21, 21-10 an 21-19. Everyone felt sad for him. But it's not his fault, at least he tried he tried his best. So people, don't ever blame him for your holiday and ice-cream.

  As for our Badminton Men's Doubles, Koo Kien Keat and Tan Boon Heong had lost to the players from South Korea.

  Now, let's turn the scene to diving. Pandelela Rinong, our Princess Of Diving, got the 8th place and 7th place in her first two synchronised events with Cheong Jun Heong and Leong Mun Yee respectively.


  Anyway, we can be better. The Olympics ends on  the 7th of August. Let's try to win at least one more medal during the remaining events. All right, Pandelela? You're our next hope.

By,
Euan Thum.

The Human Being—A Complex Organism

Human beings are complex and special organisms as there is a complex organisation of cells in the human body. The organisation in the human body is summarised as follows: Cells—> Tissues—> Organs—> Systems—> Organism.   The same type of cells which carry out a specific function are organised into a tissue. For examples, a group of muscle cells form a muscle tissue while a group of nerve cells form a nerve tissue. They are organised to work together to perform specific functions as the result of cells in the human body do not work individually.     An organ is a group of tissue that cooperates to carry out a specific life process. For examples, a group of muscle tissues, epithelial tissues and connective tissues form blood vessels. Several organs are organised into a system. Each system consist of several organs which are organised to carry out life processes such as respiration, reproduction and digestion.     Various systems in th...

I am Euan Thum. This is my story.

No one is born a leader, but no one is born to stay shy and quiet forever too. I was a timid and unconfident boy who grew to celebrate individuality.  I discovered my passion in poetry in high school and I never stopped exploring what I can create. I co-founded a society in college to share the love for poetry and had organised poetry recitals to help others discover its beauty. My poems have now been featured in several international publications and journals.  During the global pandemic, I released two poetry collections for charity, which have raised more than RM1k combined! Poetry was an incredible flotation device and artistic outlet for me during the pandemic, and being able to share my art with the world allows me to connect with others in ways I never imagined before.  Over the years, I became committed to enrich the community around me through volunteering and fundraising. This propels me towards fighting for important causes in our society including wildlife con...

Working With Passion

I've long worked behind the lens. When I started experimenting with photography almost a decade ago, I was heavily criticised for the wrong angles, the misfocused subjects, and my pointless artistry. I tried and tried without proper equipment or professional guidance, but the determination to validate my photography skills had kept me going against the currents of criticism. In the midst of helping others 'capture a moment', as I would call it, I saw myself starting to request for similar photos to be taken for me, in hopes of keeping memories of my own in photographs. One person told me once, 'You're kinda like a model'. That was about 4 years ago, when I had finished high school for a couple of months. My hair was flowing a little freer than before and I had more time on my hands to run around Johor Bahru with my friends, looking for adventures and photoshoots. That 5-word line was an inspiration I did not see coming. In fact, I did not realise it had done the...
