Marry The Night

The night.
The silent night.
I love the night.
Let's marry the night.

  I doubt that no one had ever listened to Lady Gaga's Marry The Night, which was one of her hits. She sang it about her wildness and self-confidence as she encourage people to boast theirs. The music's pretty cool, man.

  When the dark crepes into the world, the nocturnal creatures will be there wandering around and searching for food, trying to have their hunger relieved. Or maybe there is cannibal tribe somewhere in the woods, waiting for both carnivore and herbivore animals, or even lost tourists. The hunt would only be in a few minutes, which blood flows and....you know what revolting would happen.

 
  Ooo....please don't think that way. Beautiful things always happen in the sacred Mother Nature, try to think: a silent night in the forest, which only has a tall tree, stars and lights from the darkening sky, and breeze blowing everywhere. Everything is romantic, still and nice.

  We might can only see things in the day but the night shows both the darkness and the beauty of the colour black. Human beings invented light bulbs for convenience, but with them, we get to see in the dark, believe in miracles and get to know more about the wondrous world. I'm so amazed.

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...
