Imami:

That's sima yi?

Yup.
He wouldn't look right if portrayed in d role of Zhuge Liang, tio-bo?

limlim:

yes. this one should be the \"空城计\" that episode..?

Dis episode includes Zhuge Liang using \"空城计\" to deceive Sima Yi.
It follows d loss of d critical ground of Jieting due to Ma Su's incompetence n d eventual withdrawl of d Northern campaign.
2 lessons can be drawn fr dis episode:
1. Zhuge Liang gave in to Ma Su's loyalty n his desperate plea to command d critical ground of Jieting despite being pre-warned of his incompetence, resulting in a costly loss of men n materiel n also dat Northern expedition.
2. Zhuge Liang ensuring safety of Jiang Wei's mother in his retrograde plans thus winning over his heart totally.

u shd read concern2's post on lessons to be learnt fr JTTW.

me now can only recall n make up a rabbit's joke:
A pristine white rabbit (me will name it Mickey for convenience's sake) burrowed into Panda Jia Jia's enclosure when he was taking a crap.
JJ to Mickey: Ur fur is so pure n pristinely white, don't shit ever stick to ur fur?
Mickey: Nope.
JJ took Mickey in his paw to wipe his arse.

3 kingdoms are a good example for politic issue.
such as back stabbing, 2-headed snake, betrayal, power, women
The best don't trust people easily.

SDP to contest Punggol East if there is a by-election


SINGAPORE: It's shaping up to be a five-cornered fight in Punggol East, should there be a by-election for the single seat ward.

On Thursday, the opposition Singapore Democratic Party (SDP) signalled its intent to contest the seat.

The ward was left vacant after its MP Michael Palmer resigned, following an extra-marital affair.

The SDP said it has a slate of qualified candidates, and will decide on a name in due course.

At a news conference on Thursday, SDP's Secretary-General Chee Soon Juan ruled himself out as a potential candidate.

Dr Chee explained that he is not eligible to contest in an election until 2015.

He was given a fine in 2010 which disqualified him from participating in any elections for five years.....

i hope not :nailbite: :nailbite: ( we all saw what happened at the PE 2011 ) still feel sayang for Dr TCB :sad:

Better to be just a straightforward game of chinese chess

Though if there is a by-election at Punggol East SMC, and even though WP should be the opposition to make a bid, I shudder to think who else from their party they can select who can be outstanding and outspoken in Parliament if victorious ( no offence to LLL )
Bear in mind that Png EH ( again, no offence :oops: ) was the best they could do in Hougang By-Elections.

Personally I would prefer the people's person NS

but NSP has already declared they will not contest even if there is a BE.

But I am also a big fan of the eloquent VW.

Hope they will sit and agree on ONE on ONE, rather than the messy mahjong kakis. :evil:

Wouldn't it be historic if Punggol East becomes the first constituency where the PAP loses a multi-cornered fight?

Certainly will be historic. However, I doubt if this will happen. There is still a fairly high chance PAP will win, regardless of number of 'corners'.
