Gee

It has been only a short time for people to craze for K-Pop. And me, not a fan but still I know some of the must-know Korean songs.


  The first Korean song that I had contacted was Wonder Girls' Nobody. I found this song interesting when my friends sang it as their performance at school few years ago. I love the rhythm. It's fast, poppy and somehow rappy too! though they danced weirdly on stage.

  It was a long pause for me to hear any Korean songs since that time. Em, maybe two years? Them Gangnam Style came into the world. The chorus sounds great, but I don't like it. I mean, the song, the singer and more. Just like I said, I don't like things that many people like. But you know what, Taylor Swift's Begin Again turned out to be first song to dethrone Gangnam Style from its 5 weeks continuation top billing.

  So instead of loving this song, I fell for the dong, Gee, by Girls' Generation, which I only heard at the same period when Gangnam Style was red hot over the whole globe.


  Whoa, the nine girls do have unbelievable sweet voices, as I was told about Mr. Taxi, another hits by them. Such poppy and makes us wanna dance with them! XD. And months passed, Psy released another globally-boasted single, Gentlemen. I uh... I don't like it neither. Seriously. I never listened to the complete whole song, just a few parts and I'd already despise it.

  Then there was a song called I Got A Boy, by Girls' Generation too. :'( It sounds weird somehow... I think I only feel something special for the third verse (or maybe the chorus? I don't know). the-- I got a boy watch it, I got a boy, handsome boy-- something.,,

  Honestly, I don't understand why does people in my country enjoy listening to K-Pop so much.  Can they ever understand what they are singing about?

*Euan Thum has a word to say:
  Hi! Maybe you would notice that I didn't write much about SNSD (G' Generation), but I used their picture to elaborate my essay, hope you won't mind and like it!


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...
