Updating those I care and know

SMS people I used to know.... writing letters to people I know even I am no matter how busy... Well, lately I have been wondering... why am I always doing this? I am always " The One" to SMS friends I used to know saying "How are u?" This has never happen to me the other way round as in others SMS me to say "Hey How are u?" Sigh... S A D & P A T H E T I C but true! Other people keep telling me how busy they are doing this and that but never got the time to even care to write and say hello to me either... So I GIVE UP! I can take the time and you can't! What's wrong with that! So busy until no moment to even SMS to say Hello? & for this reason and only one I never even believe when anyone tell me "Hey keep in contact OK!" sentence everytimg I move on to somewhere else.

Back Packs

I used to like back packs very much coz you can throw anything into it and carry behind you back with both shoulder weight but lately I have been thinking otherwise. Why? As Singapore grows more crowded then ever and MRTs get packed like sardine and boarding bus are gets narrow, back pack has become a nuisance. People who are carrying back packs like to do this.... pull their bag and not caring if their bag scratch someone behind them or even swing and hit someone face. When MRTs are so pack, they don't even care to bring it down so it is like the back pack occupy one human standing space. In-considerate people please bring your back pack down and stop swinging it. You bag don't hurt but other people's body or face does!

Meet the Parent Session Day

Today went down to see my girl's form teacher. Ok.. I displayed my displeasure about how the school let the teacher start this term in the school and resigned a few months later stating she wishes to get married. I believe getting married is not like over night plan ... for one certainly not a culture in Singapore... no offence to others... but this is ridiculous. So another teacher have to pick up the pieces from where she left all the shit. Then, I continue ranting about my girls habits and how the teacher need to be strict with her and punish her if must if not she will take her for a ride. Ok .. I may sound exaggerate a bit but she does take people for granted. The teacher wasn't much of a talker. Both teacher I talk to don't dare say much about my girl just say she ok .. hmmmm... that is so unsure... anyway... I heard what I need to hear... W E A K N E S S in her studies and where she needs to improve in.

Suprise part is last year in Primary 1, her Chinese teacher request for Meet Parent Session but this year Chinese teacher don't want to see me? Sigh.... so not standardize procedure. Change like this is not good! I heard from other parent that ... now a days school everywhere has the same problem ... Thus, the idea of transfer school is shoot down coz it is useless to do that.

Fulfilled Craving

Today on leave and go my usual favorite place to eat for lunch with my husband. International Lunch Buffet @ Vienna. Peaceful without having kids around. I actually eat until almost want to puke and that is how full I am. For such a long time I finally enjoy eating something not only I like but in peace and in slow pace. Sigh ...

I been having craving lately to eat oyster... plenty of it... and shashimi ... tons of it and also their popular rose tea. Wow what satisfaction. Every year I would also take leave to watch a movie by myself. The movie I would always catch is Harry Potter. I am a huge fan of Harry Potter show. However, the show have been delayed so long. Anyway, today I watch the Star Trek .. also a huge fan. Enjoyed the show except I miss in betweens coz I had to hit the toilet a few times due to diarrhoea. Not sure was it becoz I eat too full just now or really I got food poison by the so many raw food I eat. It was all worth it .... hehehehe

Jurong Island Bus Tendering Results

Now I can't complain TNC coz they are the cheapest bidder as you can see from the picture. However, I can continue to whine and whine about their poor service being late all the time and frequent bus break down and always unable to connect to the other bus.

Judgemental - Who isn't?

Ok ... I am guilty of being judgemental at times but who isn't? If you say you aren't then you must be kidding coz no one can or able to do that. Even the slightest thing you hear from your friend you start to wonder and that is call Judging. Judging weather what you hear is correct or not or do you have controversy to that statement.

So how can we avoid it? You can't really and there isn't a solution to it. You are constantly hearing what others say and seeing what others have done and comparing what your philosophy is.

Palm Sunday - What is all means?

According to Wikipedia HERE, Palm Sunday means A palm branch (or palm frond or palm stem), usually refers to the leaves of the Arecaceae (sometimes known by the names Palmae).
The palm branch was a symbol of triumph and victory in pre-Christian times. The Romans rewarded champions of the games and celebrated military successes with palm branches. The motto of the HMS Nelson and the University of Southern California is "Palmam qui meruit ferat", which means in Latin, "Let him bear the palm who has deserved it". Jews followed a similar tradition of carrying palm branches during festive times.

Christianity term

Early Christians used the palm branch to symbolize the victory of the faithful over enemies of the soul, as in the Palm Sunday festival celebrating the triumphal entry of Jesus into Jerusalem. In Christian art, martyrs were usually shown holding a palm frond, representing the victory of spirit over flesh, and it was widely believed that a picture of a palm on a tomb meant that a martyr was buried there.[2]
Origen calls the palm (In Joan., XXXI) the symbol of victory in that war waged by the spirit against the flesh. In this sense it was especially applicable to martyrs, the victors par excellence over the spiritual foes of mankind; hence the frequent occurrence in the Acts of the martyrs of such expressions as "he received the palm of martyrdom." On 10 April 1688 it was decided by the Congregation of Rites that the palm when found depicted on catacomb tombs was to be regarded as a proof that a martyr had been interred there. Subsequently this opinion was acknowledged by Mabillon, Muratori, Benedict XIV and others to be untenable; further investigation showed that the palm was represented not only on tombs of the post-persecution era, but even on pagan tombs.
The general significance of the palm on early Christian monuments is slightly modified according to its association with other symbols (e.g., with the monogram of Christ, the Ichthus (Fish), or the Good Shepherd). On some later monuments the palm was represented merely as an ornament separating two scenes. Palms also represented heaven, evidenced by ancient art often depicting Jesus in heaven among palms

This Church explains it,

Palm Sunday is the beginning of Holy Week. It is also known as Passion Sunday.
It refers to Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem for the Passover. It was a time when Jerusalem was packed with many times the normal number of inhabitants, and Jesus was acclaimed by excited crowds who threw cloaks and palm branches onto the road in front of him.
It is common practice now for small crosses to be given out on Palm Sunday in memory of this occasion. The crosses are usually made from folded strips of dried palm leaves.

Gentleman?

Are there no more GENTLEMEN?

Just that day I was catching the bus to work and this man may be in his 40s keep cuting infront of me to get on the bus. PLEASE ... not like that is no seat but even you rush up the bus, the bus also won't move immediately what. It still have to wait for other passengers who want to take the same bus to board. Anyhow, I let him go.

Then that evening again there a another man who cuts infront of me to tap his ez-link card so that he can get out of MRT soon. This is really sad to know that GENTLEMEN are getting few or none.

Pansy Shoes

Recently I bought this shoe at Tan Tock Seng Hospital and found it to be similar to the bran Scholl but slightly cheaper then Scholl. Besides, Scholl designs is just so "Auntie". Meaning, you wouldn't caught dead wearing it if you are someone younger then 50s.

Pansy shoes have this three acupressure points made into the inside sole of the shoes which helps to make walking comfortable on the heels. So far, I find that my heals are not so hurtful like it use to coz I always walk in a rush to get home. However, I do find that their rubber sole under the shoe isn't quite as good. It seems to wear off a bit too soon. How I can tell coz the rubber staring to have like a torn cloth effect.

Overall my feedback for the shoe is 3 star out of 5. Read more about their online store here

Can't Connect Bus Again!

Jurong Island bus service is currently being serve by Transit Network Consortium (TNC) and their service SUCKS!

Since this year the service going in and out of Jurong Island have turn worst. There are several occasions that the bus breakdown and needs repair so not enough bus running from Jurong East to ferry to Jurong Island Checkpoint. Thus, long waiting time. As if before that the waiting time is already that bad enough, now breakdown even worst. When cases like this happen, if you are heading to somewhere far inside Jurong Island and needs to transfer to another number bus, you can't even connect. Thus, I am always late for work. When I complain that their bus is always late, they complain they are not earning enough from this. I say.... how can they earn enough if their service is so bad? Bus break down and timing cannot connect and bus driver not on schedule timing? No wonder many have drop/ avoid taking the bus. I have no choice but to endure the aggitation.

School Exams Month

This month is a very busy month for me as my girl starts her mid-term examinations. Every weekend is burnt to core and scream like HELL break loose to make her study for her exams. So hardly got the time to even write my thoughts down. As you can see I have been too busy since my last post. Besides, haven't have any good topics in mind to add.
