The picture i took in Monyo this evening..
I went there to support flood victims.
I saw water flooding the villages around that area.
When i came back from there, I saw a sunset on the way, very spectacular and magnifecient.

Developing website is tough.
Today, my hosting account has expired. It happened while I was editing website live .
Both my visa card and paypal account were unable to use. I requested my fri from Ausie to help. Luckily, he helped me immediately and my account was recovered. Nothing was lost .
I spent 7 hours straight in front of computer to edit that website.
The trouble I faced was unable to run wordpress on local server .
I tried to move web from live to local server . Something was wrong . I tried 5 times to upload on local server .All the contents posts and pages were missing everytime I tried.
Since I am not professional in this area, the problem I encountered was huge.
Ahh! My back are strict and neck also. I am still working on it.
I know I should be rest . But I can’t .
I can not stop until I found the answer.
I have known something ,the reason why i was feeling so tired and stressful although I actually don’t have any regular work to prove.
Because, unemployed doesn’t mean I have anything else to do, literally I have so many works running the same time. They can be assumed as works or not real work.
Reading is my routine work to do day by day.
It includes reading english texts such as news, and medical articles especially the disease and treatment popped up in my head. Not only reading , listening Ted talks, english podcast and conversations took too much time and eating,driving and even sleeping are all counted on those listening time. I do this because I want to be fluent in english .
Practicing old questions , figuring out the questions and strategy to get high marks in test are not an easy one.
Besides all those things, I have to read and study current treatment to be able to give proper management to patients. I don’t have my own clinic .But there is a charity clinic I used to sit on some days. i have been lacked of practice for long term.
Beside those tasks, I am working on IT projects .
Rally headaching and totally not my professional field. So, i have to put so much effort to understand .
Everything was started from scratch.
After doing all those works, what i realized is I don’t get paid for what i did.
May be a little.
Financial task come after those tasks. I try not to forget What I have to obtain .
That ‘s also a concentrating work. I have apps running on their own and small amount of money comes from that apps everyday. I have 5 apps in total , 3 apps can make money everyday.Although they are all self-running apps, little time for maintenance is necessary to make sure whether they are running or not. Because of the sanction, money from oversea can not directly come into my bank acc.
That’s why in indirect way, my friend in oversea received what I have to get and transfer back to me.
A little complicated and there are unsolved issues still existing and some of my money are under their restriction.
So, if i wrap up all the tasks I am handling , I am unemployed, but not really a stress free man.
My family and my environment want me to see a working man in somewhere they can see visually.
But the kind of work they mention is not actually a work for me. It’s kind of boring even though I was paying every month. Not productive ,not exciting..
My current situation is no leisure time but I have to work every minutes,seconds and hours of my day.
Stressful, no off day, no night out , no girl friend, no encouragement , no respect, no fun…
I am sick of this life and really wanna quit.
Want to be active and work independently .
Wanna work with people.
I am thinking to work in NGO (MSF doctors without border). I think it will be kind of exciting and will have fun caring people and helping out.
But on the other side, a scholarship i am waiting is not responded yet. I didn’t hope too much in the first place. It was my first time applying for scholarship and I didn’t know strategy and neither to show off my IELTS certificate.
But if i can hear a good news from them, it will be very great for me.
A bless I dare not hope.
Although I thought to apply another scholarship to catch july deadline , not having IELTS score is a burden for me .
I collapsed to make it .
But , I am sure I will the IELTS test in September .
Will make sure to get satisfied score I hoped for.
The end .

Hi.
Here is my sample prototype for English Myanmar Medical Dictionary.
I am sure I can not collect all the data alone.
So , I open it to public to collect as many data as I can.
I accept medical words and their definition in both unicode and zawgyi.
Of course, unicode alone will work in final version.. But for the convenience of data filler., I need to accept both version then I will convert them to unicode later.
So, If you use zawgyi to fill the data , plz go to tinyurl.com/mdzawgyi
If you use unicode format to include data, go to tinyurl.com/mdunicode
Thanks a lot..
Let’s make this together ….
CHEERS 😀

I was trying to make english myanmar medical dictionary by myself.
Actually, I already have some eng myanmar medical books . What I wanna do is to convert them to electronic dictionary to use in mobile devices.
I literally don’t want to use every words from books , I rather want to define more precisely than in dicitonary book.
That’s why I created a form and spreadsheet in google to start a project. I and my friend will input data into that sheet.
It will take time of course, but we really want to make it happen.
Here is the form to input data into dictionary.
This is the last essay I’ve ever posted from Zenbook.
I bought this ASUS manufactured Zenbook which is stylish and sexy , one of the top devices in the world. I fall in love with her since my first sight. So, i decided to buy it immediately even though I don’t have enough cash in hand.
Total cost of this device is 750000Kyat (639US$). I ordered it via one of retail stores in Pyinmana. They said the colour is gold but not genuine gold in my eye. I barely see the golden color in its metal body . It has efficient battery ,slim body , HD display and convenient keyboard. The one downside of this product is few hard disk spaces and low RAM. To reduce the noise of device, the firm used solid state hard disks which are more expensive than ordinary hard disks in our former laptops.So, if i want big enough space to store data in zenbook laptop, the price of this device will soar up . 128 GB is very limited choice for people like me .
Another disadvantages of zenbook is 4GB RAM. That is very few . I can not do multitasking as I wish. My pc doesn’t hang but perform slowly when i run browsers and some programs at the same time. That kind of little inconveniences made me upset. That’s why I always wanted to resell it .Today I posted an advertisement about my notebook which I am going to sell. People interested not only the device but also the price I had lowered down.
One of my facebook friends contacted me via messenger and we made some negotiation.
Finally, we had a deal with 6.2 lakh. I had to lose 1.3 lakh for just one month use. Device is almost new and also a good bargain for him. Although I loved this type of notebook, its performance can’t allow me to operate as I wish. SO, GOOD BYE. I have to save money for another device .Perhaps, I would buy another zenbook with higher specs or Macbook air or the eye-catching one . I haven’t decide yet. If I buy a note book again, I have decided to use more than 4 years . So, even the price is a bit high for me, I have decided to pay if I really like.

Which kind of music do you like to listen?
When I was feeling down and bored, I used to listen some inspired music .Sometimes classical tunes and sometimes club beat :D.
Yeah, I like to go to club but I’m not a party animal. The first time I went to club was in 2006 with my best friend. We both were just 16 years old at that time. He just lived in an apartment next to the hotel. And there was a club in hotel. My very first club experience was really awkward. I was hesitated to dance with other people . Techanically we both were under age and weren’t supposed to drink. But as usual, there were no strict rule . So, we shared a mug of beer . Every one dancing under spot lights seemed to be older than us.
College student life in mandalay was not like in Hollywood movies. We didn’t have home parties or other places to celebrate events. Yes, no club either. Local authorities didn’t allow clubs in mandalay. Sometimes, we had chance to go to clubs which were not legally opened.
But, most of the time, we faced with fights in the club. Some young men didn’t like to enjoy peacefully. That was a problem.
Therefore, I had very few club experiences .
When I had chance to stay longer in Yangon, I went to some clubs. Of course , there were friends to celebrate together. I understood the culture of clubbing when I have visited to most clubs in yangon. I used to enjoy to dance under lights and with DJ music. My favorite DJ was Avicii. A memorable time in a club and the music I heard was “Waiting for love -by Avicii”. Everytime I hear that song , I was like in the club.
The moto I always hold is “Work hard, Play hard” . I was a conservative man before .Though I always wanted to be happy like other young people, I used to control myself very strictly. When I realized that I didn’t have much time to celebrate my youthful life, I always let myself free . I allow to myself to explore everything what I haven’t found yet. I decided to live happily while I was torturing myself with suffocating thoughts .
I believe everybody should have a night life to relax, to reborn strength for another day..We should pass our daily lives energetically ,actively with fresh ideas.

Today I want to tell you how did I learn English .
My former English skill was terrible . When I was in high school, English is one of the essential subjects in curriculum.
But even about 10 years of studying English in school can’t help me to be a fluent speaker. So, what was wrong with that?
Most of the time, our English teacher instructed us to memorize vocabulary by heart and to learn English grammar structure. There in exams, they gave us sentences to convert one grammar to another style. So, we had to remember formula to be able to convert such kind of sentences. Memorizing vocabularies were the most difficult part for me. English is one of the subject in matriculation examination. In exam, there were closed up type questions to fill up the blanks with proposition ,conjunction and so on. But all the paragraphs were from text book . So, if I can memorize all the essay in text book, I could pass that test. There was an letter and essay writing in exam , but I could not write with my own style either. Seems like my English foundation was a bit weak.
When I was in medical school, all the subjects were learned in English . 2nd Year was my most difficult time because I confronted with many strange terminologies and reading and writing were still weak. But, some how I did pass all university years .
When I was young ,opportunity to watch English movies and English speaking programs were so rare in my hometown . My home didn’t have satellite TV and there was no English speaking television programs either. Therefore, my listening skill was also zero. During my first year of college, the country became more open up and English speaking movies were easily accessible.
At the time, I could not even read English novel and watch English movies without Burmese subtitle. I was starting to use Internet . I watched many movies and series during my student life. I tried to watch with English subtitle whereas Burmese translations were unreliable. Since then, I always watched and listened only in English and totally neglect Burmese subtitles.
I practice my English writing in facebook .In that way ,I possessed a satisfactory level.
I didn’t have a partner to practice English .Therefore, I used tools like internet, e-dictionary,ebooks,music,movies and grammar check software to improve my engish.
It doesn’t actually reach a certain level I really hoped for .But, I have reached a certain distance and I am keep walking .
One day, I must be the one who can fluently speak and write as a native English speaker.
When I was a little boy, I read a story in comic book for children.
It goes like this..
“Long ago, there was a professor and his students. He taught to his students according to their intelligence.
Therefore, some students had chance to learn more than one subjects so they possessed many skills.
There was a least intelligent one among outstanding students. Meanwhile, his friends were discovering more than one skill, his capacity was limited and only able to learn one learning.
So, the professor taught the easiest one to raise it as his career. That was pottery.
After all school years passed and professor believed his students were ready to go into realy life .
And then each and every one returned to their nations and applied knowledge they acquired in university.
But, the students who had learned more than one skill were not quite successful as they anticipated.
But, for the stupidest student who learned only pottery.
He didn’t learn other things, he only did pottery everyday and eventually he became a professional and getting rich by making pots.
When other students heard about him, they complained to their professor that why he didn’t teach them the way to rich,why the stupidest one became more successful than any of us.
The professor didn’t give an answer immediately, but asked his smartest student to climb along a bamboo tree in his backyard.
When he was on the tree, the professor asked other students to shake the tree hardly so that he could fall off.
The guy on the top of tree jump out to another one when the branch he hold was shaking.
When he reached on another , his friends on the ground did the same way to tree he was holding.
He was moving from one tree to another whenever he almost fell off until he realized to hold a strong and bigger tree to keep stay on top.
Finally, the professor told his students that you will never be stable and rich if you are switching your career one to another..”
That story always remind me of the work what i am doing.
I am not smart , but .. still doing many things. And no profession anywhere.
Sometimes you have fought the whole day and you are feeling weak ,looking for a comfortable place ,kind of paradise. If you ever need that kind of moment in your life, music are the best companion to make you relax.
The rain is falling outside. Drizzling rain ,smell of ground and the chilling breeze slip through on my cheek. I was sitting in front of my notebook . My sub consciousness is thirsty for a music.
The rain usually make us feeling miss to someone in our past memories. The song I have chosen was
“Finding Hope “ (You & Me) .
Nothing would be perfect than a song, quiet place except the sound of rain drops on the roof and the breeze.
I was angry , sad and feeling miserable when I came back from work. I felt like I was totally lost and I am worthless, useless . There is nothing I can do .
But , the bad vibes influencing me has gone away since I hear this music.
I have regained my strength from music.
That’s why I am being a music crazy.
I still want to reach the horizon I can barely see. I totally want to escape from my environment .Even it won’t be forever , I still wanna try .
I want to rewrite my history starting from a new chapter.
Bless me GOD.
I know I am weak and fragile, easy to persuade, not have strong decision. But I want to achieve something in my lifetime.
