The Grease Musical

Grease is a famous show which they sing plenty, just like High School Musical. But......a nerd like me have never heard of the name until "Woodplank", a friend from a school named Convent told me about it.

  Okay, to admit, she didn't mean to introduce me the movie, but to advertise an event held by her school. It was The Grease Musical, proudly brought to the people by SMK IJ Convent. I did not pay much attention for the event at first as I didn't know things about the Grease, secondly the ticket price was kinda high.


  But later when another friend, who was also a Convent girl (whom I have a crush on), asked me whether if I am going to the event or not. It's a golden opportunity! Hence I gave her a call as to get myself a ticket, and that she asked me to sit right next to her, WHY NOT?

  The show was in the late morning of 13 April, 10am to 12pm. I got there early and waited for her (though she became the one to find me first....). The two-hour show amazed its audience with the performers bringing the musical to life. It was totally splendid with jokes, songs, dances and more. I'd got two stunning badges that day, look up there, cool huh?

  The female lead, Sandy, was impersonated by one of my juniors' elder sister. She looked pretty cute in that "Sandra Dee" 's style, but just making her to seem a little easy to be bullied....


  I was wandering in town after the Grease. Walking around, snapping pictures, waiting for my father. It had been a long time since I last saw the girl, so there's no doubt to be hard for saying goodbye.

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...
