Nude pictures and Zhu Geliang

No, these two things are not related. Just 2 in 1 (2 topics in one title).

Last night I was looking through some old Chinese newspapers and movie posters in a website. It says as early as 1953 there was this small newspaper in Singapore which featured a nude picture on its front page. That was 53 years ago! Got nude pictures already! Now open your eyes big...


Here is an old movie poster on a show about Zhu Geliang (Kong Ming), the great strategist and a wise man. He served as prime minister to Liu Bei during the period of The Three Kingdoms.

This morning I read about three of the new candidates for the coming election. They are bicultural and they love Chinese classics. Two of them, Lee Yi Shyan and Baey Yam Keng, say that Zhu Geliang is their hero. Vow, if they got elected we would have two potential Kong Meng in the government!

Frankly hor, if you are PAP candidate, u don't need to be Zhu Geliang calibre to be voted in. In fact, even if you are not voted in, u can still join a GRC.

Finally a humsup post in your blog too, eh? Haha. Too bad, I wasn't born in 1953 yet. Even if I was, I guess I wouldn't have missed much - the photos are so grainy and in black-and-white - it looks like they have already been automatically censored. No wonder they were allowed to be published in those Victorian Times, er... I mean Victorian times, haha.
