Palm Sunday...the start of Holy Week

...Got this from Google..."Palm Sunday falls on the Sunday before Easter. The feast commemorates Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem, an event mentioned in all four canonical Gospels".

....."according to the Gospels, Jesus rode a donkey into Jerusalem, and the celebrating people there lay down their cloaks in front of him, and also lay down small branches of trees.




......"John more specifically mentions palm fronds. The palm branch was a symbol of triumph and victory in Jewish tradition, and is treated in other parts of the Bible as such"


cheers!

Lent.....

Why is Lent always coloured purple??


updated 1 April:...think i got the answer today on Palm Sunday..."the Roman soldiers draped Jesus in purple cloth and mocked him the King of the Jews after which they put his clothes back on before they crucified him"

cheers!

Oktoberfest in Ipoh???

On a cool night in Ipoh whats one to do after a hard days work..but..head on down to Frens Corner towards the Kinta river bank at the end of Jalan Tun Sambantan after Maybank.;;(picture below of Frens Corner..just open air corner with tents.. the tall building at the back is Maybank / Wisma U-Meng) Actually Frens Corner takes up the back portion of the Chinese Tin Miners Club building.

...interestingly that night there were these "Tiger Ladies" in Oktoberfest uniforms...Apparently only Tiger has done this promotion...and its nice..Oktoberfest with local Fraulines...an interesting gimmick..but that's not all....the cost of the beer is RM12 only..."while stocks last"...can't complain can we???

....a little spirit with the usual variety of cuisine...

..nice open air environment...its a nice way to enjoy the night...


....btw...saw this on the wall going to u-no-ware...which incidentally was clean enough...

cheers!
