Blossomy

Before Taylor, I was actually so obsessed with a Taiwanese girl group. Well, ya’ know, I used-to-be day dreaming in class about the complicated Chinese-musics industry. And their song did really appeal to my eldest brother and I.

  I used to enjoy listening to Chinese songs in my primary school-life. Jay Chou, JJ Lin, Rachel Liang…… Their work done for the music industry had never been tedious. But as time went by, many new young singers rose up and honestly, their musics were like ‘ew….’ to me. Perhaps other people liked them, or my elder brother liked them too, but I didn’t. And then I found the English showbiz eccentric, so I became a fan of it.
  Kay, kay. Come back to the story.     
           
  S.H.E, a famous group formed by three gorgeous Taiwanese ladies. The group was made in 2001 after a singing contest. Yes, you got it right. The three girls were the participants in it and they won the first three places respectively. Since that year, they recorded up to 13 studio albums and several EPs. My house even owns four of them including the latest one which was released last year.
  Selina Jen, 32, Hebe Tian, 30, Ella Chen, 32. The threesome group’s music styles span around the genre of country and country-pop. Most of their songs were about sad breakups or heart-warming stories about love. That’s why my brother and I loved them. Their voices were utterly impressive and magnificent, which made them never loses to any other celebrities.             

  The group took a long pause in their singing career in 2010 due to Selina’s unlucky involvement in an explosion accident while acting for a movie. But after a 2-year rehab, the girls amazed their fans with a legendary comeback single, Blossomy. It’s beyond spectacular, and poppy, unlike their past works.
  I don’t know if I’m still so obsessed with them. But their hits have never been forgotten till this very moment. Still, the three pretty ladies are stellar, and even beyond fantastic.

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...
