Look at this photo, don't you feel that the red rose is showing its full strength for the next generation.
Our mother, DASSK is also trying her very best for her people, for the next generation in Myanmar. Now I am feeling a bit guilty for living in comfort zone without contributing to our motherland.
We'd also show what we can do, for our next generation...
Ciao!

Full Moon Day

Wishing everyone to have better health and peaceful mind...
Thanks!

Mixed Messy Miss
We fought until we strike.
Sometimes we got backstab by many knives.
Then we said ‘better to live with the family’.
Yet we cannot decide what to do firmly.
We visited home to stay with them alone.
But we got better-life missing syndrome.
It’s hard to take everything together.
To get the life we got, never say never.
Past taught us to be clever to endeavor happy forever.

Tamarind Buds
I went to Lake Side to take some photos of Chinese Garden for my designers this morning. The weather was perfect for photo shooting; sunny with blue sky. When I was ready … and click… cannot fire… What’s wrong? … Check… no SD card… WTF. I forgot put the SD card back to camera after transferring photos to computer last night. I remembered to take the card before leaving home. Unfortunately a client called me while I was preparing to leave. After the conversation, I left home without taking SD card…
Hiyo…
Anyway, I decided to go back home and take the card. Otherwise we will not finish the design in time. When I get back to Lake Side the weather changed. It became cloudy. What the luck? I was disappointed as my effort to come here early was wasted. Anyway I took some shots of Lake and temples and HDB and so on…
I walked along the jogging track beside the lake… and I found a tamarind tree and I was so excited. It has new leaves and buds. I was happy taking photos of tamarind leaves.
It really makes me to remember my home town, my mom and my mom’s cooking. She would make a salad with those tamarind buds, butter bean and onion. That salad is very simple yet very delicious.
I miss you, mom… and your delicious home cooking.

Life Stage
And all the men and women merely players;
They have their exits and their entrances; … “ (more)
In our life, there have been many exits and entrances. Sometimes the entrance is previously exit and, vice versa, the exit is previously entrance.
We cannot take everything as a constant.
Nothing is permanent.
Now I am going to exit from the entrance and going to enter to the exit.

Do what you love
It’s easier to talk than do. The sentence and the meaning seems to be simple but it’s complicated, you know.
Because it is different between what you really love to do and how you really want to do what you love. Let me tell my opinion. I really love to read any kind of writing since I was young. I can remember every single word if I really like the writing. When I was in middle school, I read a play (Yay Thel Pya Zat) from my elder sister’s high school textbook, I like it very much. When I had to learn that play as my lesson in my high school, I started to hate it. Because I cannot enjoy reading it, I need to memorize and rewrite as what teacher told me to. I wished to read to enjoy and analyze myself rather than I am asked to.
I realized that same feeling apply to my photography too. I love photography but I do not enjoy taking photos at events or model shooting much. That’s why most of my friends complained that their photos, taken by me, are not great. I agree with them because I don’t enjoy taking photos with restriction. I need to open my mind more.
Even so, I have done photo shooting for 3 wedding receptions and 3 birthday events with my humble D60. This photo was taken during one of room-mate-cum-brother-cum-friend’s ROM (Registry of Marriage) ceremony.
I do love photography but I don’t like to take photos for events because I feel that it restricts me a lot. ‘Do what you love’ is not simple as you see, right?

I should be like this Vodka
The client sent an email attached with a photo of sliding windows and called…
Client: Can you make animation with the photo to show how the windows open and close?
Me: Sorry, we can’t make a static photo to animate. We need to create 3D model to animate.
Client: Why? It’s a very simple job; just make the windows open and close. That's. Simple, right?
Me: Photo is static, so we can’t make animation with it. Perhaps, you take video of windows, so it’s animated and your clients can see windows as real one instead of a model.
Client: It is not easy to take video, so I ask you to crate it in simple way…
Me: '......'

Don't waste precious water!
As water, another important thing we shouldn’t waste in our life is TIME. "You will not get back the time that you wasted...". That’s so true that I regret the time that I wasted in the past but I didn’t learn. I am still wasting time again and again. I would like to spend the time wisely but I am a little bit emotional than other people. So I follow feelings rather than plans.
When I stop what I am doing and think but there are dilemmas … I think “What if…” Then my thinking stops there and I do as my feelings again…
I really need someone to give me a warning to stop wasting my time… In our life, no one will give you that kind of warning but yourself. Fortunately, I have great parents who always think about their kids and gave advices or suggestions or warnings whenever they think that they should.
So … you know?
I don’t know what will be next …

Great Gathering
Let me share the history of how we know each other because the way we met is little bit interesting, I think. I attended a class to learn basic Mandarin speaking in 2006 together with 2 of my friends. I didn’t learn a lot of Mandarin words but I got 5 incredibly great new friends, 2 New Zealanders (Reuben & Kim, they are couple), 2 Singaporean Indians (Durai & Shahi, they are friends), 1 Japanese (Chikako) and, of course, 2 Burmese who are already friends before attending the class. Even though we have different backgrounds and professions, we can get along very well surprisingly. We know that after a drinking session in Chimjes. Whenever we have gathering, we could eat and talk for more than 6 hours.
Among those friends, Reuben, Chikako and I are interested in photography. One day, we decided to meet on weekend to take photos together, so we can share our knowledge and ideas of photography. Reuben used Canon DSLR, Chikako used Olympus SLR and I used Nikon DSLR. Above photo is one of photos I took during the photo taking session in Hort Park which was on 21 Feb 2009.
Not long after that Reuben and Kim moved to Australia. After they moved, we didn’t meet as everyone is busy. Another reason is that Kim is the best organizer among friends. Since she is not here, no one can organize and plan like her to have a gathering.
Last Saturday, we met all those friends again. You guess what. Kim arranged that meeting too. Reuben and Kim were going back to Australia from India where they had their holidays. They transit in Singapore for 6 hours. So we had a chance to meet with them for about 3 hours. Kim knew what she wanted to have for lunch. So she arranged to meet in Jumbo Seafood in Clarke Quay. The food was nice. The talk was great. The feeling was happy.
By the way, I gave photos as present to them. One Bagan photos from Ko Ye Tun whom I know in Flickr and One Miyajima photo which I took during my trip to Japan. They liked both of photos very much.
I am sad to say good bye to them but I am really happy that we had a nice gathering again. I really feel that I am very lucky to have them as my friends. See you again guys!

Pre-Birthday Reflection
This year the first digit and the second one will become same, after 3 years of first digit changed.
I have got very lovely parents and siblings who always wish my birthday in early morning. On my bright day, mom would come to my room in the early morning and wake me up with Happy Birthday song when we lived together. After that she would ask me to pray the Buddha with items to offer like flowers, fruits and breakfast.
We normally have special lunch and dinner to celebrate on the day.
Now I am living in a place which is quite far from home. Even though we can’t celebrate together, my family still call me in the early morning of my birthday to wish me. They are really lovely and the greatest gift for me.
I have no doubt that they will call me tomorrow to wish me “Happy Birthday”.
When I look back what I have done for them, in fact, nothing really much. I feel that I am not doing I should do. Really!
What I want to do to on this year birthday? I don’t have anything in mind yet. But friends booked Chalet to have BBQ party. Thanks you guys.
Wishing everyone to have peaceful mind.

Homesick
Start feeling homesick syndrome
After 10 years away from it
Still feeling same away I miss
When I was at home
The world is like Rome
The time I was out from it
The world is like full of culprit
As I can’t go back my home
Will make any place as home
To drive away my homesick syndrome
One day… I will go back home
Anyway…
Home
Welcoming me always
Like hugging from mother
Wish I could be there forever…

Someone
You can't eat,
You can't sleep
You can weep when you love someone
Feels extreme when you dream, and you scream when you love someone
If you feel that strong
Can you see that one?
**
[ Let me be your...
Someone to hold you tight
Someone to make you feel All right.
Everyday and night
I wish I was your someone
Someone to hold you when you're weak
Someone to make you feel complete
Every day and night
I wish I was your someone ]
Don't you know, I will go, if you show that I can break through
Feels extreme when you dream, and you scream when you love someone
If you feel that strong
Can you see that you're the one?
[**]
And I hold you tight
You're still on my mind, I can't stand to live without you
And I can't forget you
Wherever you are, you're still on my mind
[**]

Happy Birthday - ii
I wish your happiness to extend
Parents may talk about your age
How you go through stage by stage
Pay respect to your mom and dad
Ever give things anywhere you can't get
Not only are you helpful
But also mindful
Those make you beautiful
The friendship that we made
I hope that will not fade
I wish to give something today
No one can it take away
That's a piece of my heart
It is not hard for you to take apart
I hope this poem makes you smile
When you read it for awhile
Now I am away
Can't be with you today,
But I dearly wish you Happy Birthday!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY
When I am posting this poem, the radio, Class 95 is playing 'HERO' by Enrique Iglesias... I am really missing you, my dear...I want to be your hero baby...
To my special one on your birthday day.
“I am grateful to have you such a way“
You are everything for me weeks of day seven.
Later we can have so much gain.
There is nothing together we can not start.
Just call me you need whenever.
Though that is something you don't love.
I'll keep it silent in my heart.
But I dearly wish you Happy Birthday!
Imperfection!
Imperfection!
Like flowers in winter
Like a diamond or a shining star.
That makes him ugly.
His heart beats faster
His eyes look brighter
Nothing more,
She has no idea how much he loves her.
She would feel the same way too,
But the world isn't perfect…
I Love You
I am here
Thinking about how much I love you,
Thinking about how much I admire you,
Thinking about how much I respect you,
Thinking about how much I miss you.
Wherever I go or whatever I do
I see you in my mind,
I see you in my dream,
I see you in my feeling,
I see you in my heart,
I am here
Dreaming about how frightening I will be if we can’t be together,
Dreaming about how brightening my life will be if we are together,
Always dreaming about the life with you,
I love you.
I Miss You
Though I can’t write or call you
Though I can’t chat or email you
As often I would like to spend time thinking about you.
It is a memory of something we shared
No matter what it is in my mind
I want to write and call you every day
I miss you...
Will I fall in love again ...
Will I fall in love again if I have no hope to be with my special one? I figure, well, I know I will love again but the love I have for my special one is like once in a life time love. There is no other thing to compare with it.
Life is so strange! I am not the sweetest, kindest person all of the time and, God knows, I am not handsome. But there is a gal out there who will see me for who I am and love me anytime. The problem is I can’t love or even like her. I can’t stand the way she is. It’s as simple as that. I know she wasn’t happy, but you know something, I couldn't do anything about it.
Now I'm okay. I still smile and I still laugh, but as before....I still think about my special one a lot. She is my first true love and that’s gonna make it very hard for me to truly get over, but I don’t think I want to get over her.
For one reason....to remember what real love feels like.
