Life model David Chappell, 82, at a life drawing session with amateur artists in North Point, Hong Kong, on March 10, 2021.
South China Morning Post
It s Wednesday night at the Hong Kong Art Tutoring studio in North Point and David Chappell is in a familiar position: standing naked and statue-still in front of a group of strangers.
Chappell is a life model and at 82 is believed to be Hong Kong s oldest. For most people, the thought of disrobing in front of strangers is out of their comfort zone. Not for Chappell. He s at ease with being seen naked and first started posing for artists when in his fifties while living in his home county of Lincolnshire in England s East Midlands.

Smokey Robinson’s “Timeless Love” CD was released. Since then, Smokey – along with Motown’s original Miracles of which he was lead singer – has been honored with a star on Hollywood’s Walk of Fame, and was the 2016 recipient of the prestigious Library of Congress Gershwin Prize for Popular Song.
And now, after six decades, Smokey remains relevant on today’s music scene. This is a Black History Month tribute to Smokey Robinson!]
He’s been hinting to us all along! Smokey Robinson’s newly released CD titled “Timeless Love” (New Door Records/Universal Music), a set of musical standards, is a testament to all the subtleties he’s been rendering in his songs throughout the years.

Malaysian hawker fare without pork
Boleh Boleh!, a pork-free version of the Malaysia Boleh! foodcourts, opened at Clementi Mall on Dec 25 with 28 stalls selling mainly popular Malaysian hawker dishes like Penang char kway teow and prawn mee soup.
Operated by Fei Siong Group, some of the stalls also hawk Singapore fare such as fried Hokkien mee. The difference is that pork and lard traditionally found in these dishes are replaced with chicken and vegetable oil.
Its halal certification, which is expected to take more than a month, is still pending though.
I recommend the Prawn Mee Soup ($4 and $6), which comes with slices of chicken, half a hard-boiled egg and prawns. The broth is sweet and boasts good body.
