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.
