Origami 折り紙

It’s a piece of art we’re talking about. That you use papers to make models and shapes. Creative, extraordinary, artistic.                    

  People might say that art is nothing, paper folding skills are nothing, Origami is surely nothing to be worth of for you to see or to learn about. No! In Japan, Origami is on the list of their cultures and it’s also one traditional skill that many youngsters enjoy learning. Notable model made in Japan is paper crane, which represents luck, hope and peace.
  Other kind of animals like fish, butterfly and many more are usually folded using paper too as they still stands a gorgeous side of traditional culture in the modern era of Japan.
  Not only animals, other things like plants, flowers, hearts, stars are also pretty famous in being chosen as the model to be folded using colourful papers. It seems like the Japanese has squeeze out their brain juice to keep themselves not only creative and brilliant in fashion or cuizines. Many schools also own teachers who are interested and capable to teach the new generation how Origami works, in order to have this beautiful culture carried on to the future and to hope that those magnificent artworks are able to increase the country income.            
 
  I, living in Malaysia, probably not a fan of Origami, but I really really like paper stars. I can fold them every day, as many as I want. This Japanese culture is not being too active here but there are still some people willing to sacrifice their time for all these awesome arts. People do love arts here and there.
  I like Origami too and I hope would be willful to teach me some of the skills in paper-folding. In exchange, I’ll be grateful to teach you how to make paper stars and also my very own “Hybrid Stars”!! Oh yeah, the gorgeous bottles with the stars are open for sale and the prices are discussable. Please try to message me via Google +, send me emails or comment below if you’re interested! XD
  Hope to hear from you soon, Thank You!!

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...
