Pray.

She's there. Lying helplessly, in pain. Yet she's not alone, but I can do nothing to her aid. So hereby, I pray, for her. Please, stay strong and get healthy, be with us.


  She's not my mother, but I treat her as one. I give her respect and relative-love. She's funny and I can always grin when I'm back to my hometown. Maybe I can say that she's "naughty" too, I mean, the way she can handle children. I fell for it back then. No matter how I count, from handling the housework, growing kids or enterprising her husband's business, she's capable, way too capable to describe.

  She's a great mother, I can tell. Just look at her children, her grandchildren. She teaches them in a special way which can absolutely make them behave, or to sit still to concentrate on their studies. Now that they're even staying with her at this every moment as they know the should.

  So now she's sick. She's lying on a hospital bed. They say her body is weak and she feels dizzy. She can talk, but can she ever describe her pain? Maybe she's right there thinking:' What is wrong with me? How long does this lasts?' I can't tell. No one can. Even the doctor has no dare to say. Maybe she has thoughts of giving up. But NO! She can't. Her family needs her, we need her.


  Things get better when you are brave enough to go through them. Please! Put faith in yourself, stay strong, get healthy and give everyone your sunshine-smile! Hereby, I pray, for you. Nothing is impossible. When there is a poison, there must be a cure, pull yourself together and defend the illness. We are all here for you, 'cuz we love you.


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...
