Midnight Fantasy: Die Young

The world spins in a lightning-fast speed, and that just simply made one second a little not enough for everything to encounter.


  Smoke screen of lies are set everywhere, all can't be seen nor can't be sensed. A single word can change the meaning of a whole paragraph, so, who will exactly understand the story behind? Humans are sensible beings and their feelings are the very essence of their own. Heavenly, purgatory, enchanting or traumatic. We should have them all written down, right before fate can push us out of this world.

  The negativity devours the positivity, one by one, making our lives full of petrifying danger and treachery. Demons enjoy reading people's diaries and leave them lying to the universe, just to attack them from their victims' hearts, cheap tricks, lousy traps. I will still say that the surrounding atmosphere is a tough cry, 'cuz no one is there to influence me the good things when someone is there to influence me the bad stuff.


  But having a life so much more enviable than the men on the streets in all possible ways, why sigh then? Nothing beats you, not poverty; not illness; not boredom. Perhaps, the only thing that holds the ability to pull you down to the dead-end of despair, is mortality. Death. I comes in various forms with the presence of any opportunity, so swift, even much faster than the wind and passionate as the satanic sin.

  Life and death, the thin tiny gap between them is only an undeniably hazardous, fragile line. A mistaken footstep will lead to the end of your breathing era. But since life has given you plenty of wonderful things that are way beyond enthralling than the most bewildered dream you have ever had, why is there the existence of excuses when everything finally comes to an end?

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...
