Then, with a closer look, you realize the beauty of the trash hills are all captured resembling Chinese paintings. With Photoshop touch-up, the trash hills emerged as beautiful landscapes with gorgeous creek covered with mist.
These art pieces are messages brought across by the artist on how much rubbish we have discarded in a speedy developing city. Hopefully her art pieces serve as a reminder of how much our mother earth has been destroyed and a reflection of how we should cherish our beautiful earth like the exquisite Chinese paintings.
These are the words from a three-months old elephantcalf trying to wake up his dead mother. The mother elephant was found dead at the Gunung Rara Forest Reserve in Sabah.
Suspected being poisoned under mysterious circumstances, a total number of ten endangered Borneo pygmy elephants were found dead in the forest.
“We highly suspected that it might be some form of acute poisoning from something that they have eaten but we are still waiting for the laboratory results of the chemical analysis from samples taken from the dead elephants to confirm the diagnosis” said the authority.
“It looks like these animals are from the same family group, as the carnage took place on the same time and space. It was a very sad sight to see all those dead elephants, especially one of the dead females who had a very young 3-month old calf. The calf was trying to wake the dead mother up.” Said Dr Sen Nathan, Senior Veterinarian for the Sabah Wildlife Department. The baby calf was very distressed and had to be rescued.

The story took a step back 17 years ago when an infamous serial killer took the life of 10 women. While the police had no clue to pin the killer down, a young, good-looking guy – Lee Du-seok stood up by publishing a book “Confession of Killer” and claimed that he was the murderer.
With explicit support of the social media and expiration of the 15-year statute of limitations, Lee Du-seok became a celebrity overnight and portrays himself in the upfront. The publicity leads to confrontations between the killer, Police LieutenantChoi Hyeong-gu and the victims’ families.
That is how the race of confrontations and eye-popping action sequences begin….
Casts
Jeong Jae-yeon, 郑在咏 acted as a slobby detective (Choi Hyeong-gu) is a perfect task for him. A versatile actor like him portrays a tough guy and a dutiful son to his widowed mother. Combination of justice and humanity in this show is within his palm.
I love the eyes and the scheming smile of Park Shi-hu, 朴施厚. His good looks and taut build never fail to ogle the audience’s sight. His mysterious intention and appearance as a writer, Lee Du-seok exude his charm in this show and make viewers hooked on to discover more of this thriller.
Some scenes revealed
Du-seok attracts thousands of fans after his name was exposed. There is this scene in a temporary police lock-up while one of his fans got hold of his hands and is unwilling to let it go which later ended up in a hilarious chaos.
“Call the press, let’s put on a show too!” What a sidesplitting dialogue over the rescue stun scene!
“Should I show you who I really am?” The killer throws a question to lieutenant Choi after slitting his cheek.
Reviews
The rescue sequence seems dramatic but I don’t want to miss a single scene of it. While one victim’s family tries to capture Lee Du-seok, the chasing and rescue action flick between cars and ambulance is both serious and totally comedic. I believe this has to do with the style of Korean movie, not only a moviemaker but also a fun maker!
Sharp edges of the actors are flowing throughout the whole show. Conflicts, debate, emotion, forgiveness, justice are the elements to make up this exciting race. The cleverly twisted ending makes your dollar worth without further commentaries but sit back with a smile.

Lately, there’s a father of China mainland who put up a series of “百睡图” (Hundred Poses Sketches) in the website and got himself famous overnight. “百睡图” literally means “Hundred of Sleeping Poses Sketches”. The sketches capture hundred styles of sleeping poses of his young daughter.
This dad is an Architect and started his sketching hobby in early 2011. It took him more than a year to finish his works on his little daughter’s sleeping positions.
Though a dad’s love is always treated as secondary to a mum’s. But for this instance, it has proven otherwise. The scene is hardly found anywhere, it’s just like a male angel guiding over his little angel. How not to be touched by such love?
You may explore further to get the meaning of “百睡图” through some Googling. Challenge the creativity of this little angel or you may like to try it out yourself!
The mythology side of Lunar New Year was originated from a monster ‘nian’ (meaning ‘year’). The beast had a head like a lion and a body like a bull. It lives in deep sea for the whole season.
Every spring around the lunar month or Chinese New Year it will come ashore to destroy farms and attack humans. Villagers were helpless. They discussed how to make the ‘nian’ stay away from them and leave them in peace. So they started hanging red cloths and lighted red lanterns, pasting red couplet outside the houses in the hope to deter this ferocious animal. Whenever, the animal appeared, the villagers make loud noises with drums and gongs, chopping vegetables /meats loudly and ignite fireworks to subdue the beast. Somehow, ‘nian’ was back off by these intimidations. It left the village and never returned again.
Thus, the villagers realized that loud sound, the color of red, bright lights and fireworks etc were effective deterants to ‘nian’.
Since then, people have kept the tradition alive by beating drums and gongs on streets, and lighting fireworks to drive the beast away during the Lunar New Year or Spring Festival. They wish each other ‘Gong Xi” for a new life of survivor, this is the mythology of how the Lunar New Year come about.
The three scarlet friends humming along in their harmony home.
I love watching both western and Asianghost movies. These movies don’t scare me out of my butt but cheers me up. I’m not drawn by the scary costumes or distorted features but rather by the dramatic, or should I say the creative and elusive form of it.
I observe and make study about their special characteristic and the way they portray themselves. They come out with different attributes as I conclude them as follows…
