MYANMAR'S RICHEST..NEXT FORBES'S RICHEST LIST

Who says we make headlines only at ASEAN meetings and talks?.. Who says our nation GDP is less than that of developed nations' individuals..?

Look at the Sale terms and conditions of Sentosa Cove super luxurious living space. And it was meant for high networth individual home and abroad that Singapore is trying to attract. The contenders? Needless to say.. mega riches..Media had it that the Benz, BMW and Lexus cars were such a pity next to Rolls Royces & Lamborghinis.

It's nothing. Here we are talking about a closed door auction for 12 prime spots for bunglow. And talking about world riches sipping wines and rubbing shoulders and upped againt each other S$20,000 from based price to secure one of it.

Looking at sale brochures! And by just reading how those riches are drived to get hold of the lands. They have money. They want it fast and furious and later raised the bids in grand hundred thousands. I was amazed. I was thrilled though I was just reading the after-the-action paper.

Still it was nothing until the conclusion that 8 out of 12 winners are Singaporean and the rest were foreigner. Ok that was it. It was just like another game that the riches play with their money. Just as usual I read on to complete the news...then I was...WHAT!!!!!!!! I read again.. That piece of a sentences stood me up. I rubbed my eyes and read again. I was.. maybe I interpret wrongly... so I started to read the whole sentence again.

"Of 12 successful bidders, 8 were Singaporean and the rest were from Malaysia, India, Indonesia and MYANMAR"

Then.. My mind went busy to list the latest myanmar tycoons. Who could that be? There are no Bill Gates of Myanmar. No steel magnet. And no big corporate that worth the talk or to think. Let's just think he secured the cheapest of the lots. It's still $ 5 millions. ( 4,000,000,000 Myanmar Kyats). wow..I have just been out of the country for a decade or so ...leaving aside those foreign related or JV..
most of the business entities are family run and are not well structured..( of course well connected)..and they do this well to amass this wealth??? Can even outdo more established regional tycoons to shop around...

Well..just like most of my fellow myanmar.... in their previous life, they did many good deeds... so now they are enjoying their deeds... duh....

PHYU PHYU KYAW THEIN...MYANMAR NEXT TOP SINGER..

I don't know, by now, she's changed her number or not yet.... But as far as I know she would be the one and only singer who broadcasted her number together with her signature..

Wow... who wanna talk to a singer with a sexy sultry voice.. Be quick..


And those of you who still didn't know about this website, LEXICONSTAR, visit it.There is a collection of Myanmar celebrities's signatures. It's not for someone of my age but for those of you who may love to collect it..

But I wonder how to come to use the word " HANDSOME" in such a way. " MANLY" is more appropriate instead..But hey... I am not an English professor. It's just my opinion.. Since it is a presfessional website, I mean commercial website which selling ADS space..right.. And I don't really think they need to use an English word there at all..."Chaw" is good enough and well understood...putting an English word there put the whole thing down instead of trendy...(when it is not proper)... And if they choose to use either one. In Myanmar or either "Handsome" alone..It should be clear enough to convey their intention I guess..

Don't take me wrong..It's a beautiful site and I browse through all pages. I just want it to be perfect and proud of it..and wish a lot more Myanmar site on www.

Talking about PPKT, I really think her vocal is great...I watch her MTV, the cover version of AIR SUPPLY's " Making Love Out of Nothing At All"...Fastastic...The Song, the voice and the Showmanship..Energetic... Electric...and Sultry..

Go to PHYU PHYU KYAW THEIN and double click on song no. 6 and enjoy..

MADONNA'S CONFESSIONS

Wow wow wow....... After uploading some photos and shooting off a title then I realized that another celebrity again on this page.

Not intentionally though guys. Believe me. I was like listening to radio and her songs was on air. Then I google..."Madonna"...Personally she is my all time favourite singer since her debut album..

Now, she is taking the world by storm with her "CONFESSIONS" Tour. Tickets are all sold out.

Say no more I guess. Her biography is well and over documented. So guys Let's just enjoy her musics..And if you wanna know about her..visit HERE ..and THERE


Well... Madonna is going round the world to confess..And her fans, too, got their confessions..

From Elizabeth, South Korea
I am an American living in South Korea. I have seen many of Madonna's concerts. Every one of them different from the past. Two years ago, I went to England just to see Madonna not to travel. Her Reinvention Tour was just out of this world. When a fan goes to her concert, you never know what she has in store for you. She is full of surprizes like having dancers fall from the ceiling on ropes, amazing latin american dancers, or even a bull on stage. I wish she could have a concert here in SOUTH KOREA>>> SEOUL>>> This country is great and nothing like any other country she has been to. It would be a new experience for her.

If she doesn't come here this year, I will be heading to Japan for her next concert!!! I expect her to be in leotards doing amazing yoga moves, and for it to be like a live show where the audience feels like they are in the show with her not just watching it! I hope she plays Hung up, what it feels like for a girl, sorry, holiday... Madonna is and always will be the best worldwide entertainer, singer, dancer, actress ever!! I wish Madonna all the best for the CONFESSIONS on a DANCEFLOOR TOUR!!!

From Charles, U.S.A
I will be going to the July 2nd concert in New York City. I was so thrilled to be able to get them through ticketmaster. I ended up having to go through brokers in the past. I have been a fan of Madonna since I was 13 and have followed her ever since. I will never forget dancing to her songs on my old boom box in my backyard back in Boston in heat of the summer, especially back in 1987 when I was grooving to "Causing a Commotion". I would love for Madonna to perform my favorite song: "Open Your Heart", I also love "Bad Girl"(one of her best).

You? Having something to confess to her..go HERE to confess and download her wall papers..

BEND IT LIKE DAVID BECKHAM..

At first, the movie " Bend It like Beckham" then.. the world take him from head to toes.... He is an icon. He is in some sense bigger than hollywood stars. Just think about it. I never watch a match in previous world cup or put it this way, football! to me is like people kicking ball in the field. Nothing much to be excited about. But OMG...so much so about this celebrity footballer Beckham in the media and the hype that I come to know about this guy and yes Manchester United, MU. That's all.

Well, as I target my blog to be all things men..I think I am obliged to write something about football, which is all men' favourite but I knew nothing about football other than 2 teams are up against each other to kick and shoot more goals.

But guys, I write something related to football ok..so lets Bend It Like Beckham.


Oh no.." shave it like Beckham" .. A ha..... I don't know whether who is cashing in millions..Beckham himself or the companies that featured hin in their product campaign...

And now...he is launching his signature fragrance "Instint". And there we go " Smell it like Beckham".

Take a look at photoshoot that featured a much celebrated couple.
And as all you soccer fans out there know that he's been dropped from Team England, and he would have more time to make it up for his family.
Will there be more spice between Beckham and Victorai? Or will there be more conflicts just because now there are more chances to discover personal differeces? Sometimes, a little space does wonders in between couples. Don't you think so?
In this Era, being a worldly sportman is incredible. Million Bucks a month. And sponsorship and endorsement fees. Sure they have their fair shares of stress and pressure to perform well. What about us? The time we put in, the effort and the pressure? no less either. But our annual compensation package is not even near a fraction of their weekly fees.

If ever I could start all over again....

CASTING CALL......MYANMAR MALE MODELS..

Ummmm.. I am not setting up model agency guys..but just wanna share bits & pieces about male models..Myanmar Male Model Scence in particular...

Dreaming to be one when I was in my teen(with zero possibility), I keep tabs on male grooming, male model scences, who is hot and not of the world male models whitin my limited reach all this while. Two decades ago, modelling is non-existence in Myanmar. Movies stars fronted all the commercials and catwalk modelling is very foreign. Through outdated imported magazines and from some translated versions, we learned the glitz, glamour and of course the scandalous stories of super models.
[D & G Summer 2007]
Well! Apart from having to wear fashionable gears, I would say the travelling and the bucks that come along attracted me. Uh!!!!!! you mean fame? Ummm maybe but at that point of time "fame" was not really in mind ..But hey! funny thing is that I know I am far from being qualified to be a model..let alone supermodel haha... But since we are all entitled to dream whatever we want.. why not..right!!! I know I dont have edgy look and height.. Being hopeless did not put me away from wannabe. I live my life being my own model. Reading...watching all things model whenever I got chances.. groom and dress myself..And those people around me know that I do stand out among the crowds... haha..(But now.. if you see me..please ignore what I said)

OK! rubbish aside, let's go straight to the point why I write this post. When I was about to leave the country back in mid nineties... modelling is all in the rage and everyone on the streets seemed attending modelling courses and shows are all around the corners. Needless to say, quality is nowhere to be found. Any Tom, Dick and Harry became models overnight and disappeared the next. And mostly, sons and daughters of who and who front the shows for only they could afford to buy expensive wares.

Nevermind, it was the infant stage of Myanmar modelling and Fashion Industries. For sure, no one can't make a living out of the catwalk. So I was hoping, over times, things would be better and my fellow Myanmar Men could be out and proud and doing their rounds in Asia if not on the world stages and earning big bucks and jetting around.

To my dismay, this is not happening.I scamble through myanmar model angencies websites, online journals and news. I bought Myanmar Karaoke VCD, view them online. I bought Myanmar Fashion and Entertainment Magazines like never before. It's been a good 2 decades and Myanmar Modelling and Fashion Scence as a whole is still undergrown infant. What's going on?
[Ricardo Almeida : Sao Paulo fashion week ss 2007 Runway]
Industry is not growing as well as the people of the industry. Tin Moe Lwin and John Lwin are trying hard and still fore-runners. I can feel thier enthusiast and pulses to build up the industry not just to hold their rice bowls but as a passion. Kudos to you guys..

I looked at the shows.Model girls are great and well groomed and exportable. I think they just need to brush up some survival English Proficiency. Male Models? Not more than one or two are good enough. Not well prepared to take the model world. Style Sense and their bodies. Guys buck up. For models, regardless of sexes, your body is your asset. It's not girly thing anymore to maintain your shape.

I am disheartened to read what Tin Moe Lwin said on some of her agency's clients. " Don't bring male models, I dont want to see them. It was such a questionable remark. I wonder why he got the models? To get them to bring up his commodities, products or to quench his hidden( or unhidden) thirst(lust). In the sense, I really wish the next generation businesswomen rule Myanmar Economy so that there is a market for male model. There is no demand at this moment for male models. So not much people wanting to invest to poslih up their talent. Look! guys don't be so dishearten. Just try your best and maybe one day you will have a chance to work with Agents from Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia and Hong Kong. We are natural born tanned and you know what!! tall, dark and handsome are IT things. So just polish up your image, shape your body and learn to speak the language.
Maybe John and Brian could help you guys to get some contracts in Singapore since they are the familiar face of the scence here. Whenever I see those Thai and filipino models doing well here, I really want to see my fellow talents doing the same.
Mario Queiroz : Sao Paulo fashion week ss 07 Runway (Part 1)
Well male model wannabe and guys! Look at the videos. The latest runway shows. Hope I can give you guys some inspirations after reading this post.

Ummm.... tired of being an Engineer. Isn't it a good idea to open an Agency? Bring in Talents for assignments here or arranging all necessities for wannabe to live and attend modelling and grooming courses here.. hmmm... Guys wait for my casting call..Alright!
