Andrew Koenig
Andrew Koenig (actor) who had been missing for nearly two weeks, was discovered in a Vancouver park Thursday as reported. “He committed suicide” his father said. The park was known to be one of the actor’s favorite spots when he lived in the city in the early ’90s.
The actor was born in August 17, 1968 and was 41 at the time he passed away. Koenig traveled to Myanmar/Burma in July 2007 and visited Burmese refugee camps in Thailand with his father as part of the U.S. Campaign for Burma. (ref: wiki)

Myanmar traditional song singer Viva Hein became so popular through her album “Byo-hit-than” especially in upper Myanmar. In Yangon, she is renowned for her copy version of Tokyo Drift. You might wonder why a traditional song singer would sing that kind of song.
Viva Hein, Myanmar traditional song signer and celebrity
Well, maybe that’s what makes her popular enough to perform 20 shows a month.And her dancing skill, that’s another reason for her popularity. She said she learnt dance from J-Lo, Britney and Shakira. (By watching their music videos of course.)
Now, her second album is in process to release. So let’s wait and see if that album could make her perform 30 shows a month.

Myanmar director Nyi Nyi Htun Lwin
As we all know recently in Myanmar, 7 Academy awards were given for the year 2008. Surprisingly, out of 7 awards, 4 awards are connected with director Nyi Nyi Htun Lwin.
Because Khant Sithu (Best leading actor), Khin Moh Moh Aye (Best supporting actress) and Myet Chel Film Production Company (Best film) were awarded for the film directed “A-Myar-Ne`-Ma-Thet-Sine-Thaw-Thu”.
And Nyi Nyi Htun Lwin, himself, was awarded as Best director for that film too. So, in a way, we can say that the films he directed won 4 Academy awards.
(4 awards!! That’s even more than 50% of the total count.) It is too rare a case in Myanmar Academy awarding history as I remember.
So let us all congratulate him. And tell me what your opinion is_ “Was year 2008 the year of Nyi Nyi Htun Lwin?”

You might not know Pan Ei Phyu who is pretty and skillful singer, actress and music producer if you are not a traditional music crazy but she’s the sweetheart of Myanmar traditional music lovers and.
And we obtained that she’s also good at doing business like to promote her own VCD. She said “I bring the VCDs of my album whenever I go on a tour and sell them before the show starts. And while I’m singing my colleagues sell the VCDs at the backstage.”
The VCD of her album “ Linkar-Dipa-Ashin-Thu-Lo-Lu” was released on last December 4, 2009 and it reaches almost everywhere in Upper Myanmar within 2months. Impressive right? That’s why we said_ “She sings, she produces and she sells!”
(Moral of the post:If you wanna be a successful singer, you’d better learn how to sell VCDs of your album.

Htun Aeindra Bo, Myanmar actress and singer, is planning to release new duet album with Myo Kyawt Myaing, who is known as her last ex-boyfriend before started her current family life and well-known rapper in Myanmar. The album will be released within this week according to Htun Aeindra Bo’s status on facebook. The Album title is ” Ta gae ma chit bae nae” in Burmese which seems a bit strange or trick for their fans since it has the meaning of not really loving each other before or intend someone else .
The singer says that “I wish all of my fans will going to buy the original Tape and CD. Most of the songs from this album are own tune and hope everybody will love my new album.”

We believe most of our visitors known already about the recent winners of Myanmar academy awards which was held in Nay Pyi Daw last night (Myanmar time) and Khant Sithu was awarded as “Best Lead Actor” in movie of “A Myar Nint Ma Thet Saing Thaw Thu” as predicted before in our post.
The actor was seen in the movie as mentally retarded person and he did portray his character brilliantly. We believe many of Myanmar fans are satisfied with the result though we don’t hear any feedback so far.

It is unclear that if Htun Aeindra Bo will go there alone or with her lovely family. On her fb page, she says “Hello my dear fans… I will go to Nay Pyi Daw tomorrow morning to attend the 2008 Academy Award Ceremony.” Good luck
