Lost In Translation

Ooh your sweet disposition, and my wide-eyed gaze; we got lost in translation, 'cuz they were ALL TOO WELL.

Undeniably, my feelings towards you was like the picture above, there was a overwhelming gorgeous flower that made me want to know about, a lot more, emotionally beyond the details that I'd already known, like how you feel. But, there were also thorns and spikes, planted by uncountable aspects, preventing me from knowing more about you. Such passionate, but miserable.

Having a crush on you was like Poison Ivy stealing essence from a beautiful flora, she could never stop, just like how they couldn't stop themselves from taking drugs. It was all burning in red, and I liked the feeling, pretty much.

Oh what happened?! We used to have so many chances to meet, at school and at tuition classes, we had so many issue to talk about. And now I guess that it was the secondary school life that changed us. We got less chances to meet, less and less it went. That's not a problem, I thought, just appreciate those little chances.

Then it was divided into two different situations. First that we were shy and embarrassed to talk while being together. Remember The Grease Musical? We didn't talk much there, we didn't know what to talk about. By The Way, your "annoying & can't-stay-away" fans were there too. Buzzing in a whole group, could we ever talk privately with them all around?

Secondly, we held class parties and you weren't there. I invited you to my school's IU Day, and you never showed up. Please my girl, at least give a call or pick up my calls. But you didn't and I wished I could just say that your apologies were TOO LATE.

The Moment I Knew

You should've been there, and I would've been so happy. At the moment after me expecting your arrival for 6 hours, I desperately felt nothing but to despair. Just right at the moment, I knew, you were trouble.

Carry on to the last part -

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...
