Ko Phyoe is just married!!!!!!!!

Ko Phyoe is just married. We have 11 cousin in our Compound, which locates in Hledan, Kamayut, Yangon. With the thanks of my Grandmother, we are living there together. It is a big compound with 4 houses. From this four families we have 11 cousin.

The oldest one is Ko Win Min, who is still singel ( Lu Pyo Gyi), then Ma Cho,Ko Gyi( two days older than me), Shinlay, Thin Thin, Ko Myo, Ko Zaw, Pauk Pauk, Pae Pae, Ko Phyoe and Ko Zay. Among us Pae Pae married first, then Shinlay, Ko Gyi, Ko Myo and now Ko Phyoe .

I have a good memories for our childhood Life. Ko Gyi and I grown up together under my Grandmother. I liked to play with other children and my grandma didn't like it.
because of my guidence, Ko gyi followed me to play with others. After that we had problem with Grandma.

Ko Win Min and MaCho lived at that time in Thuwana. So we visited them or they visited us.
when we were in Thuwana, Aunty Mu, the mother of them, bought us Mont lout song.
They had beautiful fishes.

When I was in Kindergarden, Ko gyi's family moved to Taunggyi. So I was alone in Hleden.
They came back to Yangon when I was in 4th Standard. I visited them in Taunggyi one time. Pauk Pauk was born in Taunggyi.

ko Zaw, Pae Pae and Ko Zay lived at that time in Khine Shwe Wa Street. But most of the time they were at our place.

Ko Phyoe is the 10th one of our generation. When he was born we were already grown up.

Thin Thin and Ma Cho were passed away. Now we have only 9.
Now Ko Gyi, Ko Myo, Pauk Pauk and Ko Phyoe are living in Singapore. Shinlay is in Germany, Ko Zay is working at a Shipping line, and Ko Win Min,Ko Zaw and Pae Pae are in Yangon.

Pae Pae has two children, Thu Thu and Bi Bi Lan ( Sithu Aung). Ko Gyi has one child, Nyi Htat Aung.
Last year I was in Yangon and Ko Gyi was also there. So we went out one evening. Ko Zaw invited us.

This is about our generation. Now Ko Phyoe , the second youngest one is already married.
Slowly we are not young any more.

Hey... I can cook Dan Bauk!!!!!!!!!!!!


Last Sunday I tried to cook Dan Bauk. Before I cooked it I had to ask advice from Ma Myint Myint Sein and Aunty Ohnn. They explained me how to cook it.

Thomas likes it very much. In Yangon he ate it often. Tin aye Dan Bauk shop is near our Appartment. So it was good for him. Now here in Germany we have no Tin Aye Danbauk, no Nilar Dan bauk. So Shinlay have to cook it. So let's call Shinlay Danbauk...

Beacuse of excellent instruction from my friends, my Dank Bauk was very delicious. Thomas said Oh it is like in Yangon. We ate it with Thayet thee Thanet and Nga pi kyaw.

When you come and visit me next time, I will cook it for you.

Christmas Eve 2008

Yesterday was X'mas Eve 24.12.08. Here in Germany they call this day Heiligabend. This day is very important for the Family member to celebrate Christmas time of the year. The shops and some office open only half day.
People bought the best food for this day and excitedly prepared for this fest. All family members come and meet at the parents house. They eat together and give presents each other.
We have actually no other family member in Germany. So this day is for us no significance. This time we planned to do something instead of sitting at home. We went to a restaurant ( some restaurants open this evening ). The name of this restaurant is Cheers in Emmendingen, which is 40 Min. drive from our House. The owner is the brother of my working colleague, Gavina. She and her family also came there and we sit together.
It was a nice time for me and for Thomas also. We talked this and that. Gavina's mother gave me a present. It was a book for Christmas cookies.It is a nice present for me. I can try my baking talent. Danke Mama!
At about 22:00 we were back at home.
This was my first Christmas dinner in Restaurant at Heilegabend.
