Saya U Kyaw Thein (Civil)'s health
Ko Than Win, Dr. KNNT, Ko Aung Kyaw Thaike
excerpts from RIT Burma Yahoo group
=====================================================================
27 Jul 2004
Dear Ko AKT,
He (Saya U Kyaw Thein) was totally unconscious when he was admitted to
the THU KHA Clinic. However, he is recovering gradually. Now, it has
been about 10 days and he can open his eye and a little bit, can move
his hands and seems to be responding with the guests. I have arranged
150000 Kyats of donation on behalf of 1987 and 1991 B.E (civil).
As far as I know, he needs to change the blood totally. If he has to do
it, it is necessary to move him to YGH. I will let you know if I know
more about his health. I will go to that clinic today again. Of course,
I appreciate if you can arrange to collect the donations from our
friends over there. It is obvious that he is needing our assistance.
With best regards,
Than Win
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear Ko [Aung Kyaw] Thaike,
Please collect 100,000 Kyats donation (one hundred thousand kyat only)
from WRTC office in Yangon. Contact Daw Shwe Shwe Sein Latt. WRTC
office address is Building 6, Room (16), Myakhantha Housing, 2 quarter,
Kamayut T/S. Please tell Ma Ma Sein and Saya U Kyaw Thein that I will
visit them in December 2004.
Thank you,
Dr. Khin Ni Ni Thein
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear Sayama DKNNT
I will arrange to collect your donation in YGN. I had informed to Ko
Myint Aung who is conducting for collection of donation here and always
contacts with Saya Dr Soe Thein.
I will also send email to Dr Soe Thein for your donation to be
collected. If I got the confirmed information for collection, I will
inform you asap.

Saya U Sein Shan's health
by Daniel Tint Lwin (Mech 69)
=====================================================================
Just to inform you that recently Saya U Sein Shan had a ballooning
and the insertion of 2 stents, one for the vein to the brain and
another for the one going to the heart, at Bumrungred Hospital in
Bangkok. He is recoverying from his operation at the time I talked to
his wife on 26 Jul at about 10pm. I understand that Ko Toe is taking
care of him in Bangkok. Before going to Bangkok Saya Gyi was having
difficulty walking because of low blood flow to his brain.
We hope and pray for his speedy recovery.

No 319, 8th Street (South), East Gyogone
Insein, Yangon
Tel : 641604
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Report (dated Wednesday, 21 July 2004)
Saya U Kyaw Thein was hospitalised on the night of Sunday, 18 July
2004, and is in Intensive Care Unit (ICU) of Thu-Kha-Kabar Clinic.
He is still in unconscious state as of today (21 July 2004). His wife
Daw Mi Mi Sein, daughter Aye Aye and elder son Tay Zar are around and
the younger son, Zay Yar, who is working in Singapore is arriving
Myanmar today (21 July 2004). Thu-Kha-Kabar Clinic is located between
Prome Road and Insein Road around San-Yeik Nyein Bus Stop. Please pray
hard for Sayagyi U Kyaw Thein to recover quickly.
As the cost of the hospitalisation, especially intensive care unit,
is very high, I would like to request our alumni to initiate in groups
and collect some medical fund for Sayagyi U Kyaw Thein. We have started
collecting medical fund locally also. You can send the list and fund to
me. My email, contact phone no and home address is given below. I will
update the condition of Sayagyi U Kyaw Thein daily.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Report (dated Thursday, 22 July 2004)
As of today, Saya's condition is improving a lot. On 20 Jul 2004, he is
virtually unconscious. On 21 Jul 2004, he could open the eye only.
Today, 22 Jul 2004, He not only opened his eye he could also move some
of his body parts. I hope that he will be recovering slowly.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
In early May, Saya U Kyaw Thein was first hospitalised for about a
week in a private hospital near Institute of Veternary, Insein. His
recovery was slow since then. He did not recover fully. He stopped all
his regular activities such as attending meetings etc.

Hi All,
Just to make all of you aware of two things.
1. Be aware of "phising", some of you must have received it before,
this is the newest and most dangerous form of PERSONAL THEFT, and DO
NOT respond to any of the request. The request is disguised as an email
from your financial institution, and would request you to update your
account/password. IT ALWAYS is not from your financial institution but
it looks very much legitimate. NEVER EVER RESPOND TO SUCH MESSAGES. You
should forward the messages to the respective institution's fraud
group, if you could.
2. Please update your computer with the newest patches,
ms04-022
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/Bulletin/MS04-022.mspx,
ms04-023
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/Bulletin/MS04-023.mspx
and ms04-024
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/Bulletin/MS04-024.mspx
IMMEDIATELY.
Better process is to go to http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com,
and click on the "Scan for updates". You can pick and choose the
updates, as they are called patches, but it is recommended you select
all of them if possible.
Thanks

Career Seminar
=====================================================================
20+ youths (mostly grads or in their final semesters/quarters)
attended the "Town Hall Meeting" on "Career Advice" conducted by BAPS
with the help of distinguished guests: Saya U Aung Khin (Mech, Patron,
RIT Alumni International), Saya Chris Lee (Elec, President of BASES),
Saya Allen Htay (Civil, President, RIT Alumni International), ...
The panelists also include Saya U Nyo Win (Mech, Past President,
BAPS), Ko Benny Tan (Mech, Past President, BAPS), Ko Maurice Chee
(Mech, President, BAPS), Saya Ko Thein Aung (Met), Daniel Maung (son of
Saya Mao Toon Siong (Mech), co-webmaster, BAPS), Jonathan Shu (son of
Ko Aung Khin (James, Mech), co-webmaster, BAPS), Ricky Chen (secretary,
BAPS), ...
The session which lasted approximately 3 hours include: introduction
of the panelists and attendees, tips on different phases of job
hunting, importance of internships, networking, voice training,
personalization of reusmes, short but effective cover letters, follow
up of resume submissions, career fairs & open shops, emphasizing one's
strengths rather than shortcomings, answering questions with poise and
confidence, how/when to smile or to be serious, anecdotes, ...
Ko Maurice Chee has once again demonstrated his culinary skills.
Several people proposed Ko Maurice to be "Head Chef" in addition to
being President of BAPS, and Treasurer/Financial Controller of RIT
Alumni International.
=====================================================================
Short Notes
=====================================================================
Ma Pam, spouse of Saya Chris Lee, offered sa-pa-lin (lemon grass) to
several sayas and alums. Ko Maurice [jokingly] said: "Ma Pam is an
expert in win-ka-woat-ti (indirect way of saying). She is hinting
people who receive the sa-pa-lin to cook mohinga [for her]."
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Saya Mao Toon Siong won his first Burma Table Tennis Championship in
1954. The Inter-Varsity Team events, however, were not a shoo in
despite being a national star. [One reason is the use of non-standard
rackets in local tournaments.]
In one match, the score was tied at 2-2. Saya was trailing 10-20 in
the final decisive game. He managed to win 22-20. That was a "turning
point" which boosted his confidence and the belief that "good things
can happen at any moment".
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Saya U Aung Khin is a man of few words. When we mentioned the good
things that happened after each of his visits to the Bay Area, Saya
said, "a critical mass already existed [and were simply waiting for his
visits] for the good things to happen".

20+ alums [and some spouses] attended the mini-reunion dinner in
honor of Saya U Aung Khin (Mech), who is visiting the Bay Area. They
include:
Saya U San Tun (Mech), currently host of Saya U Aung Khin => about
to welcome a daughter-in-law
Saya Mao Toon Siong (Mech), former Burma table tennis champion =>
looks youthful thanks to jogging, table tennis, ...
Saya U Kyaw Myint (Mech), Beijing [doing assignments after his
regular stint with UNESCO projects there]
Saya Chris Lee (Elect), President of BASES, Southern California =>
David Tun Tin, suffering from "irregular" and "skipped" heartbeats,
signed VP Saya Chris Lee to take over the BASES helm
U Tin Hlaing (ChE 65, retired in Feb, 2004 from Singapore Poly) =>
has new e-mail address
Saya U Maung Maung (George Chan, ChE)
Saya Ko Thein Aung (Met) & San San Nyunt (Sandra, Mech)
Ko Benny Tan (Mech), past President, BAPS
Ko Maurice Chee (Mech), current President, BAPS
Ko Walter Tan (Mech)
Ko Aung Thein (John Yeo, Mech)
Ko Myint Thein (Ba Thein, Mech), now doctor in Civil => "Pha ta
baing nga ta baing"
Ko Myint Ngwe (Met)
Ko Aung Chein (Mech 72), currently in Southern California [after
several UN postings in Asia for the past decade or so]
...
After one of Saya U Aung Khin's visit to the Bay Area, BEA and
BASTS merged to become BAPS. After another visit, the Northern
California alums and the Southern California alums agreed to work for
the first RIT Grand Reunion and Saya Pu Zaw Pwe. Based on past history,
something good should happen to the Bay Area Alumni organization and
its members.

way in near future. The only thing you do not know is that when, how
