The folklores say, If you don't see PADAUK FLOWER, we don't call it THINGYAN. Yes, people from those days believe that PADAUK opens the New Year season. The flowers normally blooms a week ahead of festival days. Due to abnormal weather changes this year, we see PADAUK only today, the 3rd day of the festival.
|
This yellowish flowers used to overwhelm the whole city. But nowadays, you rarely see them. To see, you have to go and find it. It does not bloom in vast anymore, for which I would say "the symptom of metropolitan life".
|
This PADAUK tree is located right at the junction of IN-SEIN Road and THA-MINE Road. I went along couples of miles just to get this shot. Finally, this yellowish thing makes me SMILE.
|
This shot is dedicated to those who are longing to see INYA ROAD. Do you think I can squeeze in2 the crowd? No wayz. Even if I got in, I won't be able to find way out. Hundreds of thousands of people there.
|
Have you ever heard of a saying, "a picture says a thousand words"? Yes, the saying simply coincides with this shot.
|
Do you see many cars making their turn back?? Yub, I was one of them. Lolx.
|
Is she drunk? Or hold back?
|
I'm not a girl, not yet a woman. Still enjoy THINGYAN with full festive mood. Yea??
|
Ma Ma Gyi (Big Lady) shagging with her shorties. People here, old or young, rich or poor, ugly or handsome… we all celebrate together. That's called NATIONAL SPIRIT.
|
You have any comment for this shot?? I know you guys simply love seeing such things.
|
Yea. This is for you guys!! A band of FAGGOTS rocking on a JEEP. How is that sound?? It's nah discrimination yea?? Let me confess. I hate FAGGOTS.
|
Dancing Mood plus Myanmar Beer. A perfect companion??
|
Girls here love wearing socking. But how come this one wears HAND SOCKING?? Neva heard of it b4. Is she an ultimate trend-setter??
|
A snapshot of 2 little girls on a LiteAce.
|
Rhianna? No wayz. Not Rhianna, but Banana. ROFL (Rolling On Floor Laughing)
|
3 gals curiously looking something. Girls here become quite trendy in terms of outfits. But when they wear make-up, why do they need to apply like 1cm thick??
|
Once they arrive in front of MANN DUTT (Station), they have hundreds of things to hold >> sunglasses, their hair, towels, their boobs, their butt and the likes. Then why don't they stay home?? LOL.
|
She is wearing yellow color jacket, huh?? What if she wears a bunch of PADAUK FLOWER on her head?? This year, I rarely see girls wearing PADAUK FLOWER. In fact, PADAUK is PRIDE and ELEGANCE of typical Burmese girls.
|
Don't you think they become DARKER?? Of coz!! How many hours you normally spend for a sunbath?? 2 hours?? 3 hours?? Well, these people spend about 10 hours taking sunbath at the temperature of 41. Can you believe that??
|
Yea. I have been longing to have such shot. That's 2008 THINGYAN HAIR STYLE. They paid couples of thousands to do that. Don't know how to call it in English. Poor me!!
|
A guy sitting beside the girl looks quite WEIRD. He thinks he's on HEAVEN or what?? Seeing the girl delightedly??
|
Yea!! That's what I hate about THINGYAN. What would he do when he get drunk?? Look for troubles?? If so, people put him in jail. Any benefits for him??
