Hi! sorry guys for those ofyou who came to check my post but found nothing new for the past few weeks! I was terribly busy with works, attending to many technical and site issues and juggling with many reports.
But thanks to Jim(Sai Tun Tun), a friends of mine from Australia (Brisbane)who's dropping by on his way to Chaing Mai, I managed to have some fun shopping,drinking and going places. I felt bad for poor hospitality that I could extend him. But dear brother I knew you enjoyed my company..the photos say it.. haha...
Jim Sai Tun Tun is a shan like me and we are from the same hometown. A small town in northern Shan State, Kyaukme ( Black Stone City). Acutally I was born in Namkham, a small, beautiful border town but grown up in Kyaukme. He is a few years my junior and when I was in University he's still in high school. He's my mate for coffee and games during my holidays when I went back to Kyaukme.
We have not been seeing each other for more than a decade since I came to Singapore. I am really grateful that he made an effort to get my contact from my family and keeping in touch with me throughout these years.
His visit brought us back all the memories and we were talking like no tomorrow. We shared our life experiences and asking each other about our small town and friends. We talked in English, Myanmar and Shan. I managed to squeeze my time and prepared some shan food for him that he longed for. He will be spending his holidays in Chaing Mai and I may join him to celebrate Water Festival in Thailand.. But for now..gotta get back to my hectic and robotic routines...hmmmm..
