MY 2013 BIRTHDAY

NEW YEAR WISH – 2013

Dear Families, Fans & Friends .. As usual, I was very much busy during the year end .. So I am here with a belated new year wish but an elated one for everyone of you .. Since I was young, I love to explore English sayings especially those written in simple language .. I like to note down those popular philosophies and critics of the world’s renown people .. Every weekend, my sister and I was sent to St. John Convent (now Basic Education High School No.2, Latha) where we spent the whole day learning English from Catholic Nuns .. I was only 4 when my Dad forced to use Merriam – Webster dictionary .. Those days at St. John Convent were indeed a good memories for me .. Honestly, that was the very foundation of my English today .. And that was also when I fell in love with the walls of the convent with full of sayings from Christian philosophers .. Thus in memories to my childhood days, I decided to pick a new year wish that reveals the inspirational words of the late American literary icon, “Thomas Stearns Eliot”. He welcomed one of the new years with a very simple phrase, “For last year’s words belong to last year’s language and next year’s words await another voice. And to make an end is just to make another beginning.”

Like he said, New Year is the ideal moment to wrap up all the fateful incidents of last year and get ready for the upcoming year .. Let’s welcome year 2013 with fresh, tiding and cheerful mind .. The following photo is for all of you to welcome 2013 ..

Look up for light to guide you – and God will direct your path ..

ME, JANUARY 12 & MY HONOR TO THEM

Lots of you might have already known, January 12 is my Birthday .. Yes, I am a very open-minded, meticulous and humorous Capricorn born .. Love to listen the melodies of my ego, interpret them with my personality and situations while preserving strong traditions of a Cantonese Chinese Family .. I mentioned more than many times about it, my Dad is the most influential navigator in my life .. He is the one and the only living god with the VITO to drive me .. Dear Par & Mum, I will not be able to thank you enough for raising me up to this stage and nurturing me with crucial talents to embrace in the world .. This photo is dedicated to two of you on my birthday ..

Affirming words from moms and dads are like light switches. Speak a word of affirmation at the right moment in a child’s life and it’s like lighting up a whole roomful of possibilities ..

2013 JAN 12 & ME

This year, my Birthday is extraordinarily unique .. There will be 2 merits rejoice at the same moment .. I have set to do my ROM (Registration Of Marriage) on my birthday .. The ROM date has been chosen based on Chinese traditional Feng-Shui practices and Myanmar Lunar Calendar .. Both methods disclose the same best date which falls on my birthday .. So this 2013 birthday for me is god-gifted special day of my life .. I have become a HUSBAND on the day I turned to my 30 .. I believe, 30 is the right age to build up an own family .. Just wearing a charming ring on my left Ring Finger simply calls for a burden of responsibilities ..  Does it mean less photography time and more money making time ?? Or less coffee breaks and more home stays ?? So this picture is a little dedication for our marriage ..

Meeting you was fate, becoming your friend was a choice, but falling in love with you was beyond my control ..

FESTIVAL OF THADINGYUT 2012

GREETINGS

Dear Families, Friends and Fans! How are you all? I know it’s been a long while that I did not show up. No new photos, no new blog posts, no updates, huh?

HAPPY, PEACEFUL, PROSPEROUS & AUSPICIOUS THA-DIN-GYUT to you all !!! Along with this heartiest festive wish, may I convey my sincere apology to all of you for my absentees on my blog during the past months.

ME, MYSELF & THA-DIN-GYUT

I love Tha-Din-Gyut. I do am! That is the reason, I have a chronological assortments of Tha-Din-Gyut photos here on my blog.

– 2009 Thadingyut pictures have given me a big mark indeed. The pictures of various religious activities and happenings on Shwedagon Pagoda have cured the homesickness of Burmese people who are oversea and given them a very chance to pay homage to Shwedagon Pagoda on the auspicious full-moon day.

– 2011 Thadingyut pictures said to be one of my favorite documentaries series too. The photos were captured on the same Shwedagon Pagoda yet 2011 pictures unveils a huge difference in terms of angle, subjects, tone, and the overall mood (composition). Featuring the amazing event of 9,000 Candle Light Offering, I am thankful all of you for leaving hundreds of supportive comments under the photos.

*** Historical background of Thadingyut Lighting Festival, can be found ::: HERE :::

THA-DIN-GYUT aka FESTIVAL OF LIGHT

Thadingyut is the descent time of Lord Buddha from heaven after he preached the Abidhama (the most difficult of Buddhist teaching) to his mother reborn in heaven.  We, Burmese people, celebrate the festival throughout the county during the Burmese Lunar month of Thadingyut which normally falls in the 3rd or the last week of October…

People celebrate Thadingyut in different forms. Paying homage to Lord Buddha, taking sabbath and doing good deeds, offering alms to the monks, paying homages to the parents, teachers and the elders, and the likes.

Apart from these religious activities, there is another big Thadingyut celebration, “YAE KYAW THADINGYUT NIGHT BAZAAR”. Yae Kyaw (pronounce as Yay Kyaw) is located in Pazundaung Township of Yangon. Every year during Thadingyut holidays, people celebrate a five-day YE KYAW NIGHT BAZAAR. Sharing lots of similarities and merits of Tazaungdaing Night Bazaar, Yae Kyaw Night Bazaar, in fact, occupies larger areas and greater numbers of shops. Throughout bazaar days, famous Bogyoke Aung Sann Road being transformed into open-air shopping arcade, with hundreds of thousands of daily visitors. Every year, people from different regions and provinces come to bazaar to open stalls and sell their local products to the visitors. From tribal food and medicines to clothes and electronics, from tattoo artists and magic shows to ferriswheel and ice-cream stalls, everything is available at one place!!!

With my sturdy aim to offer you different chapter of Thadingyut episode, I have selected “Yae Kyaw Night Bazaar” for this 2012 Thadingyut.

DEDICATION – 30 OCTOBER 2012

This year, Thadingyut Fullmoon Day falls on 30th October 2012. In chorus, 30th October is also the “Auspicious Birthday” of my beloved girlfriend. For those who have been asking me about my soul-mate, name’s May Thi Hnin. Many prefer calling her nickname, Lilly.

So this Thadingyut post is my dedicated “Birthday Present for Lilly” !!! Wishing you a very Happy Birthday and many returns of the day , Chit Lay …

SHOOTING

Arrived there 8:00PM sharp, the Bazaar was unbelievably crowded. Stalls allotting and event management is helplessly poor. Can you imagine the burning temperature of Yangon and the heat emitted by the crowd? With unbeatable gut to capture photos, I didn’t give up. “Multitasking” was truly challenging too i.e. hunting through the viewfinder, taking care of my girlfriend and being cautious about my Wide Angle lens (it is truly troublesome to squeeze  into such big crowd with that Nikon 14-24mm f/2.8 ED Nano).

And this is the very first time I allowed my girlfriend to join me doing Street Photography. We had a solid agreement that she will never ever disturb / discourage me from doing my photography works. But I purposely took her to Yae Kyaw Night Bazaar as she had never been there in her life. She was shocked seeing the crowd, holding my hand firm and moving in the crowd. My camera was in right-hand and I was holding my girlfriend with my left-hand. I need to adapt into this “Multitasking” shooting style as I “always forget about everything” whenever I hold my camera. J/K. She actually ended up helping me; borrowing plastic chairs from street vendors, holding it firmly for my favorite high angles shots. My special thanks to her!

HAPPY THADINGYUT TO YOU ALL …
