  • Monday Night Photos


    This one was taken on Sunday evening in front of Naypyidaw Cinema. Ninja Assassin was playing at the cinema.

    Monday, I went out to Chinatown with a couple of colleagues for a night of fun and food (:


    Waiting at the Bus Stop

    I forgot what this road was called. All I remember that it's near a hospital.

    Durians

    I've never really liked durians. My mom loved them though, probably  because she lived in Mon State when she was young. She said she eats them with rice. @_@

    Grilled Fish in Aluminum Foil


    Fish Curry, and Marlar Vegetable Curry

    We also went to buy some Spy wine bottles and beer bottles at the store near there and we all shared the drinks together. I stayed off the beer, but I took a sip of wine. It made me dizzy. :P

    You might see that dust particles on the photos. I forgot to wipe the lens.

  • What Would You Suggest?

    Have you ever used Google to search, and then raise an eyebrow (or two) when you see the auto-complete drop-down suggestions?

    I found my way to this site called Autocomplete Me, which has a lot of these weird suggestions. I've been laughing my head off! :D


    ok this one's not really weird.. (from here)

    Have you seen other types of weird suggestions?

  • Grilled Fish @ Hledan

    Well, this weekend had been quite a busy and fun one for me. :)

    On Saturday, I was at Barcamp Yangon from 8:00 a.m to 6:00 pm. I volunteered as a translator, but I was really slacking off and just listening to others' workshops. :P I will write more about this later on.

    On Sunday, I was at an work-related event the whole day. But after that, a few of my colleagues  and I (all together 4) went to Hledan, and ate grilled fish at a street vendor shop there. Afterward, we window-shopped at Sein Gay Har Centre. :) It was fun because these colleagues aren't the ones I usually hang out with, so it was fun getting to know each other and socialize. I feel like I'm a social butterfly... ;)

    Photo Time!

    GRILLED FISH!!!!
     

    You just have to choose which fish you want: the smaller ones were 1000 Ks. and the rest were 1300 Ks. per piece.


    We chose a small one and a big one.


    A close-up look at the fish
     

    Half-way through.. Those dark green bits were some stuffing inside the fish.

    Hey, I just thought of something.. I'm going to learn how to grill this type of fish and blog about it! My cousin knows how to do it.. :)


    All finished. The other dish with the spoon was "marlar" dish, but they said it wasn't very good so I didn't even tried it. I've never eaten marlar dish before.

    ----

    We've arranged to go out and eat another time at the end of this month. This time, it will be at a place downtown, and it will be crabs and marlar dishes... Yummy!

    --Update--

    I forgot to mention that these grilled fish are also called "marlar grilled fish". (You can see it on the sign in the first photo).

  • A Chance to Explain


    ရွင္းျပခြင့္
    ရိန္းမိုး


    ရင္မွာကိုယ္စီ ရွိထားခဲ့တဲ့ အျဖဴေရာင္ႏွလံုးသား စြန္းထင္းေလၿပီ
    ပိုင္ဆိုင္မႈမရွိတဲ့အခိုက္မွာ သံသယစိတ္ေတြလႊမ္းၿပီ
    ခ်ည္ေႏွာင္တဲ့ ႀကိဳး ျပတ္ေတာ့မွာလား

    ရင္မွာေပ်ာ္ေနတဲ့ အသည္းအိမ္ကို ေဝဒနာဒဏ္ခတ္ စူးနစ္ေလၿပီ
    ကံၾကမၼာရဲ႕ ထိုးႏွက္ခ်က္မွာ ယိုင္လဲသြားၿပီအခ်စ္ရယ္
    မဆံုႏိုင္တဲ့လမ္း ေ႐ြးခဲ့ၿပီလား

    Chorus:
    (တို႕ႏွစ္ေယာက္အတြက္ ဒီအိပ္မက္ဆိုးေတြ
    လွည့္စားကာသြားၿပီလား... အခ်စ္ရယ္
    ရွင္းျပခြင့္မရေတာ့ရင္ ကိုယ္ေလ ေသႏုိင္တယ္
    သံသယေတြ ေျပပါေတာ့ကြယ္)

    (Verse 2)
    (Chorus)2

    (သံသယေတြ ေျပပါေတာ့ကြယ္) ၃


    Translation

    When we cannot have each other, suspicious have overcome us
    Would this string of attachment be cut soon?

    My heart which had been happy, is now filled with wounds
    Due to fate's cruelty, I had fallen down
    Have you chosen the path where we would not meet?

    Chorus:
    (These are nightmares for the two of us
    Have they disillusioned both of us?
    If I don't get any chance to explain, I will die
    May these suspicious fade away... )

    I came across this album of Rain Moe (ရိန္းမိုး) while looking for one of his songs.  I've never heard of his songs before actually. But some months ago, one of his songs (A Yan Pal Chit Nay Pyi - I'm So In Love With You) was shared in forum, and I really liked it. At first, I thought it was sung by Han Tun because his voice really sounded like him, but after some searching, I found that it was actually sung by Rain Moe. The song I downloaded wasn't a good quality so I tried to find a better version and came across his album via Myanmar Mp3 Albums website.

    I like all the songs in there, and I thought I'll share this song from the album first. Like all the other songs of his, it's really a slow & simple melody, with only guitar music... I just love it. Listening to songs like these makes me want to learn how to play a guitar. ^_^

    *sigh* I just love his voice. And I don't even know what he looks like! Oh.. nevermind.. I found it. :P I thought the name was "Rane Moe" (ရိန္မိုး) but it's "Rain Moe" (ရိန္းမိုး).. In Burmese, "Moe" means "Rain", so it's like "Rain Rain"! ;)
