Have you seen elephant paint?

Now..watch this video where an elephant who was rescued from abusive treatment in Burma, now paint an amazing self portrait. You’ll be amazed at how her talent unfolds.

ExoticWorldGifts.com now supports, “Starving Elephant Artisans” by selling their paintings so they can continue to have a new life in Thailand.

Amazing talent isn’t it???

Many say that it is all in psychology. How well they are rewarded due to their training… some argue that it is an abuse.

It is simply irritating when I saw one of the comments which one person commented that animals are low retards..and they cant possibly able to apint or do anything like humans do unless they are being abused to doing it.

In my opinion…..

What that person said is
a TOTAL BULLSHIT.

Animals are not retards. They are smart. And from what I know, maybe they have what scientists called, “Mirror neurons.”

Scientists have been experimenting on monkeys, to investigate mirror neurons and how those neurons are fired whenever they saw a human pick up a peanut, the neuron “mirrors” the behavior of another animal, as though the observer were itself acting.

Don’t understand what I’m talking about? Go read it up.

But in my view, I think it is based on this mirror neuron concept that the elephant was able to paint herself, through the imitation by watching how human paints.

I dunno if this concept can be applied to elephants as from what I know…it is tested that it is applied to monkeys, humans and most birds.

Maybe elephants do have mirror neuron system?

A debate/discussion about this is always welcome. =)

Indonesia’s former & 2nd president, Mr Soeharto, passed away today, 27 January 2008, 1310 hours in Jakarta..he was one of the longest ruling president in Asia, having to rule Indonesia for 32years..However, the recessions and several riots brought upon his reign down in 1998..Since then, there was Mr Jusuf Habibie, Mr Abdurrahman Wahid (Gusdur), Ms Megawati Soekarnoputri, Mr Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono who took over the president role till now…

As i would see it..its such a real pity for him to be down, as it too somehow brought the slight downfall of Indonesia Crisis till now..Though Mr Bambang, president of Indonesia, is keeping tight on securities and all, i believe Indonesia hasnt been at the highest state as it used to be during Mr Suharto reign..

Mr Suharto will be sent back to Solo, and buried alongside his wife tomorrow morning..

Well, after writing this, i was just thinking to myself…how come people oni think of e bad things…though its true that he may have corrupted, but life wasnt bad during his time!! haiz…anw, i am too small a figure to make any views =)

 hmm btw, kind of Mr Lee Hsien Loong to be there now at Mr Soeharto’s Jakarta Residence at Jln Cendana no8 =)

The JAE event in TP takes place from 25Jan to 28Jan. As a student guide on the first day of the event, I met potential students and ushered them to their preferred diploma booths where they are met by ready lecturers who counselled them on their choices, and advised them on a course that would meet their requirements and expectations. Most of the students who turned up at the event were international students who were enthusiatics in learning more about TP curricumlums. Local students who came requested specifically for a course offered only by TP. Others simply wanted to “look around”. The turnout for the first day was reasonable, and more were expected to visit the JAE booths in TP over the weekend and on Monday.
