Renounce Renounce Renounce !!

Hmmm.. the start of 2008 is quite a dramatic change to me.

I've renounce my life long name Naing Ko Ko Lwin and officially going to change to Leo Lu

I've renounce my Myanmar citizenship.

I don't know. Somehow or rather I felt it is quite a big decision n impact I had made for myself. Good or bad.. I still can't really tell. But somehow I felt a bit of strange feelings. Parting of the own identity for something new is not as easy as it sounds I guess. Well.. At least for me. Felt like I am turning alot of things into a new direction. Whether it is a right or wrong direction? I think it is still a big unknown for me at this point of time.

Finally can relax a bit!

I was a bit worried about the SharePoint Migration I needed to do for my work in the past few weeks. There's quite a limited resources on how to do the migration properly and it's also very expensive to outsource other companies to do it. After spending quite alot of my time researching and testing on the possibilities, this week we manage to test out the migration scenerios in the test server environment and it's all went quite well. Feeling very happy and relief. At least now I sort of know what to expect when we commence the actual migration process.

Such an expensive local fare!

Yesterday I went to Straits Kitchen at Hyatt for buffet dinner sponsored by my department heads. It's a local food buffet with all the Malay, Chinese and Indian variety. The food was really quite nice. Especially I like the Malay curry prawn. Very succulent. And I love the carrot cake there too. Really had a very very unique taste. Anyway, having quite a hard time after eating all those. I am not the guy who can actually eat spicy malay food and I have quite a funny feeling inside the stomach after the dinner. Anyway, it's really a good experience to actually try out all the local variety at one place. Quite satisfying. But ... I find it quite expensive!! $52++ for local food? And no free flow drinks included!!

Back in action!

The last few months of 2007. My blog has been totally inactive. My laptop breaks down and it took so many trips to toshiba to get it fixed. I've been out of action for too long and alot of things has been going on. Guess I can't possibly note everything down here.

But I would say most are the good things. =) 2007 has been a pretty good year than I thought it would.

I had a new job at a new work place.

Really have some touching moments in 2007 by some of my good friends. =)

Manage to pass 1 semester successfully with a distinction in 1 subject.

My Singapore citizenship has been approved.

I was actually feeling kind of down at the start of 2007. And my good friend Raja was kept asking me back then what new year resolution I would made for 2007. I told him I just don't wish to expect anything out of it and feeling so exhausted trying to achieve the goals that I'm setting for myself. I've been tired of setting goals and trying so hard to achieve from years to years. At least I am quite happy with whatever outcome I get from year 2007. Really a good year. =)

Here I'm now at 2008 and I wouldn't write down every single things I wanna achieve as new year resolution for this year anyway. But well, roughly I know what I want and most probably may be I could achieve some of it at the end of 2008.

And 2 things I will try to keep track for the whole of 2008.

My health and exercise

And the way I spend.

Since I've learnt quite a bit of economics. Now I promise myself I will try to make good use of my money and try to make more earning than spending.

For year 2007, I think I shall personally thanks a friend as well. Thanks Sheralyn for helping me out with my problems and also helping me to get a new job. Really must thanks her for all the things she has done for me.

And thanks Han for the wallet you give me as a christmas present. I really like it and kept using it happily. Something that I've been really needed it for quite awhile.

Recent Happenings

I guess it's been AWHILE I last updated this blog. Was busy with my exam, finding job and also my laptop was down for a few days. Finally now all these are over. My exam has just finish. Now crossing my fingers that I score high enough to get some distinctions. And I've gotten a new job. I will be started working on 6 Nov at Science Park. That is like coming tuesday! Gosh! Didn't even get enough time to rest after exam. Well.. anyway.. no choice I guess. And my aunty is here in singapore for a visit. She's really fussy about the food la... haiz.. Everyday scratching my head thinking what she would be eating..Anyway, it's a good thing that I get to meet up with her for awhile in singapore. Must treasure the re-union time.

Alot of happenings -NO TIME

Alot of happenings these days. I think I've not blog for about a month. I really do not wish to blog certain things also. That's why my blog is inactive for a period of time. The situation in my country is bad. But I guess I am not gonna talk muc about it.

I had quit the job. And I think quite lucky enough I managed to secure another job very first. But I am not gonna start committing my new job any time soon. I would start by 3rd Nov.

Now I am busy studying for my exam. This has to put the first priority for now and I promised myself I really have to do a good and proper job for this. Just after my exam I am gonna start working again.

My Aunty gonna come over to Singapore by 30th October. This is not bad definately. In this kind of situation in my country, I think it's good that she comes out here. Well, at least I would have someone to talk to for a period of time as well. Which is not a bad thing I suppose. =)

Not action pack but satisfying weekend =)

I've been very busy these days. Didn't even get to blog regularly. Busy with work and school as usual. And work is driving me crazy actually. Anyway, I've "not so bad" weekend. And also much thanks to my friend Raja.

Yesterday after my class at SIM, I went down to vivo city. Actually I ask Raja to help me pick up the Halo 3 promotional item which I get it by answering some dump multiple choice from xbox website. I would say the cap is quite not bad. It's green color military cap with the Halo 3 logo on it. And it looks pretty cool IMO. And I manage to buy a box of moon cake from Raffle the plaza. I would say the moon cake is really nice. And must thanks Raja for queing for the freebies for me at Halo event.

And today, I didn't get to study much. But I get to do a bit of alot of things. Morning went for gym. Afternoon I manage to restore back some energy by a couple of short nap. Manage to study a bit. And I manage to jog pretty much furthur than usual with Raja. And also get to play my favorite new game "Bioshock". It's not much of a happening week or relaxing week. But I manage to do a bit of alot of things which I think is quite satisfying.

Tomorrow is Monday again.... shittttttt...
