Remembrance

Many people know this, and I guess you know this too: I’m kinda fond of you.

  There were memories of us since 8. Like, the colourful caps of different mechanical pencils we found from the school compound, the three-word hyme which we twisted the lyrics and tonnes of laughter both of us could never forget. : ) I laugh as I remember. : ) They are sweet in my mind, though they’d been polished, and polished for times, they’re still crystal clear in my heart.
 
  Till we were 12, we shared the same idols. S.H.E & Taylor Swift. We taught each other with the latest news of them and shared their nicest song. *having a sheepish smirk now. Yeah, we went through A LOT and this was extended to last year, we were 13, even though we didn’t have much time spending together.
  Okayyy, honestly I used to think that I’m an unlucky person, with uncountable injuries in my pathetic childhood. Until I was 9, when I much-personally knew you, I didn’t get any severe hurts anymore. What I thought that time: I’m the lucky one! Trust me, knowing you wasn’t a regrettable issue. Your appearance taught me that getting dangers on myself was absolutely stupid and I had my mind changed, because of you! ;-)
 
  Have you ever noticed that there were bees buzzing around you? They aren’t sincere, they don’t take it serious to treat you like a real friend. I hope you know that. They don’t really know you like how I do. I’m not sure are you guys ‘Commensalism’, ‘Mutualism’ or ‘Parasitism’, but there is one great word to describe them. Bitchy.
 
My words carry on to the next part-
‘Lost In Translation’

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...
