A telly fan
During the last week, I had been under pressure for more than a couple of reasons. As a consequence, I lost my appetite. Not eating very well. Roast duck?, no way. My favourite energetic Raps and sensible R&Bs no longer accepted by my stupid ears. Woke up at the middle of the night with night mares. Poor concentration during the day time. Too much tired. I could not hear what they said. I had to use "sorry" "pardon" repeatedly at work as my mind was orbiting earth. Again, at home, I could not sit at one place. While sitting in the living room, I wanted to chat with someone. While chatting with drunken blogger, like Pauk ( I believe she drunk 2 consecutive days and was singing songs badly at blogger cheif's CBox) , I wanted to read medical journal. After 5 min of reading, I wanted to watch telly again. After 5 min of getting annoyed with boring news on BBC 24, I wanted to go out and buy something which was not really required.
On the other hand, my cat was different. He was able to enjoy his favourite adventurer program with full of concentration. Sometime, cat's life is much better than human being in term of quality of life, I think.

Pink shirts and me
"Wearing pink brings the king luck. I don't want him to be sick" Rose Tarin, civil servant. BBCIt happened in Thailand. In 2007, King wore pink jacket (coat: in American English) as royal astrologers recommended it is good for his health. As a result, there had been a sharp rise of pink shirt sale those days in Thailand. I came across this old news while googling something on the Internet.
I did not know if there is any royal connection of pink colour in Britain. What I know is Royal purple.
When I was young, I used to adore green. But since I arrived in the UK, that has been the only colour what I don't like. I sent any clothes with green to charity or binned. I believe I don't like any particular colour. But when I checked my wardrobe today, I found out these pink shirts among others. To be honest, I was not aware what is going on in my so-called collection. I just learnt myself this evening. For some reason, each pink shirt has their lovely story. :)

No alcohol, moderate alcohol and excess alcohol
We can say alcohol (also called ETOH at work) is the most easily available recreational drug or agent. Many patients are smart as they know what they are doing very well. During the medical interview last week, I asked my patient as routine "Do you like lager or wine? How much do you drink?, he answered " No too much, Doctor, only 10 -12 units a week, only weekend really!" . ( Gosh.. much less than my limit). Of course, this is in England. Most people have been familiar with alcohol units and recommendations. The UK authorities suggest that the tolerable maximum weekly consumption of alcohol for men is 21 units, and for women 14 units. Beer cans and all liquor bottles show up the formation of alcohol units as a legal requirement.
Obviously, we know very well alcohol excess is strongly associated with a wide spectrum of problems, from health issues to social consequences. If so, can we say it is safe enough to take a drink in moderation, that is, 21 units/week for men and 14 units/week for women?
According to cancer research UK, drinking 1-2 units a day can increase the risk of the seven cancers linked to alcohol.(Full story). I believe this is a reliable research report. What would be the next? Should we give up our drinking habit at the expense of our recreation?
At the same time, I am thinking myself why I want to live long. For what? For my patients? For my family? For human beings? For animals? I was so surprised to see a 81 year old man at work who kept asking me why he had osteoarthritis (joint pain), why he was not able to walk like others. Maybe he was demented. But at least he was not aware basically that it is inevitable for everybody to face the deterioration phase, like an old car, before going to heaven or hell, provided that the mode of death is not a sudden death.
Well, what I am trying to say is that so long as we know what we are doing, it is fair enough. No alcohol or moderate alcohol or excess alcohol, what ever it is. We still don't know what our mode of death would be yet :)
Here is the alcohol unit calculator. Really handy. You can know what you are doing easily.

Go organic?
Over a decade ago, going holiday to an exotic place like Barbado was a sought-after status symbol. But, nowadays, our life style has changed a bit. Going holiday is a part of our normal yearly plan. At work, there are many occasions when patients requested to rearrange their follow-up appointment as their holiday was on that date. Of course, we have been practising patient-cantered approach.
In Britain, buying organic foods is for a group of people's preference. They may have their own reason why they go organic. In fact, I have been a partial organic member. My fridge has normally got organic semi skinned milk, organic eggs and chicken with the reason that they are tastier than regular ones. I must say I thought until this evening that organic stuffs mean only for foods. But after shopping at nearby town centre, I learnt that clothes are also available as "organic"
This casual shirt is what I purchased from Debenham's designer's section today. It is Rocha- John Rocha. It is claimed 100% organic cotton shirt. After organic foods, now organic shirt! What would be next? organic computer or organic auto mobile? I bought it as it looked nice , not because of being organic. I must say I have to learn more about the meaning of organic and its benefits.

Modern Burma? welcome!
It is reassuring that Burmese people inside and outside the country have been increasingly becoming open minded with the fading of Ne Win's influence, getting more familiar with western culture, despite the fact that the US and EU countries keep claiming there is no human right in that ASEAN nation. I know that there is a tough restriction of speech and activities, and the state controlled puppet judges give the Guinness recordable long prison sentences to the political opponents.
On the other hand, I believe that Burmese society has been updating itself, going westernisation gradually. During this Burmese new year season, there are loads of ordinary Myanmar nationals going holidays abroad, which was a sought-after opportunity only for high ranking officers in 1980s. It is nothing new to say. We can learn easily those changes from the people came back from Burma and on the Internet. Moreover, a sharp rise of blogging and using community net woks means we can check the recent development of the society easily although it would not cover the whole Burmese people.
The situation I like most is people have got more opportunity to write what they think, what they believe and what they experience on their blogs and social networks. This made, in turn, them more and more frank and open-minded while learning what is going on in the world. I noticed that some Myanmar girls are happy to show off their pics with short skirt and tight jeans on the net which was unacceptable manner in last 10 years of this ancient community. ( I know this is the happy time for comment guru like Strike :) .. )
Of course, we don't have a negative impact on them in this era when even gay marriage has been recognising in some parts of the world . It should be a part of the human right issue, isn't it? The more interesting development is even some Myanmar men have also been revealing their interest and desire on the net. We can not criticise someone else's personal choice, can we? But I must say bisexuality is too much for a Burmese, I believe.
As her video clip was posted on KMO's blog lately, I had a chance to watch her singing and dancing style. I must say this girl with Afro-Caribbean hair style, had a great effort in her performance but unfortunately not so artistic. In fact she is popular among Burmese audience.

Orientalised East London
10 years back, we needed to go to Greenwich or central London if we wanted oriental foods. I remember there was also a Thai grocery shop in Earls Court which is far away from East London. Around 2005, I found out another shop in Walthomstow market street. I think it was a Thai shop, but most oriental foods were available from a variety of vermicelli, glutinous flour to bamboo shoot, dumpling and Vietnamese chilli sauce. Next, I came across a small Thai shop in Stratford shopping mall, but it closed after sometime.
During the last a couple of years, at nearby Tesco Extra in Gallion Reach, Chinese and Thai foods have been on the separate shelves. I saw some ready-made noodles and sauces. In the vegetable and salad row, more kinds of bird eyes chillies (hot+, ++,+++,++++) are waiting for their customers . One great improvement is I can get ung choi. (ကန္ဇြန္းရြက္)
As you know London is a cosmopolitan city and several kinds of foods are available, such as Mediterranean, Latin, Arabic, Indian, Bangladeshi and so on. Well, Chinese take-away shops are every where. But when we need Burmese style foods, we have to depend on Chinese and Indian shops. It is not bad, I think. In Upton park, even baby mango appears in its season. We can also get catfish (ငါးခူ), labelled with produce of Myanmar, and banana tree (they called it like that), at Bangladeshi shop. These are important ingredients when we make traditional fish soup while some people use handy canned fish.

Jurassic coast
The 95 mile-long Jurassic coast is the world heritage place in southern England. It is very beautiful and interesting coastal area running from Devon to Dorset county. Cliffs, Arch and cove, formed by limestones, have been attracting over one million of visitors every year. I am one of them. Yesterday, I went to Lyme Regis and Lulworth cove.
Yesterday's my road trip. A: Lyme Regis, B: Lulworth cove, C: Home, London docklands.
A to C: just over 160 miles, Not too bad. (Singapore-Kuala Lumpur 219 miles)
Lyme Regis:
Yesterday, loads of Easter holiday visitors. Parking places with full of cars. So I had to leave my car 1 miles away from the beach.

Sailing in Lyme Regis
Can you see me?
Life boat is stand-by to rescue me. No worry. A kid donating some money.
Lulworth Cove:
From Lyme Regis, we drove to Lulworth cove, where we went hill climbing so that we could enjoy the spectacular view of cove and around.
The cove and cars, the view from half way to the hill.
before reaching at the top of the hill.
I was on the top of the hill
Going down now. I was on the similar hill you can see. Interestingly, those 2 hills are human breast shaped

Cat dinner and my dinner
This is my fav cat. I leant that he had no gravy or jelly. only biscuits left. I know I need to buy some.
After eating dry ones, he was drinking some water.
For me, I don't need to drink water too much. I drank a pint of lager. Then, I enjoyed Indian style variety vegetables hot and spicy soup, together with chicken curry.
I needed 3 bowls of this soup during my this Easter holiday dinner. You may know ingredients, nothing special. Aubergine, potato, coriander, pea, cauliflowers, lady fingers, turmeric , Indian seasonings and usual stuffs. Fantastic. Elaine also tried.

Casablanca
I would say today is a lucky day. Such a long time, I have been looking for this song on the internet what I did enjoy a lot when I was young. You may have watched the classic film Casablanca. In this 1942 black and white movie, the song was not this one, but also good. The Casablanca song was also based on the film. I still remember the phrasal verb "go by" was learnt from this song. :)
Casablanca: by Bertie Higgins
I fell in love with you watching Casablanca
Back row of the drive in show in the flickering light
Popcorn and cokes beneath the stars became champagne and caviar
Making love on a long hot summers night
I thought you fell in love with me watching Casablance
Holding hands `neath the paddle fans in Rick`s Candle lit cafe
Hiding in the shadows from the spies. Moroccan moonlight in your eyes
Making magic at the movies in my old chevrolet
Oh! A kiss is still a kiss in Casablanca
But a kiss is not a kiss without your sigh
Please come back to me in Casablanca
I love you more and more each day as time goes by
I guess there`re many broken hearts in Casablanca
You know I`ve never really been there. so, I don`t know
I guess our love story will never be seen on the big wide silver screen
But it hurt just as bad when I had to watch you go
Oh! A kiss is still a kiss in Casablanca
But a kiss is not a kiss without your sigh
Please come back to me in Casablanca
I love you more and more each day as time goes by
Oh! A kiss is still a kiss in Casablanca
But a kiss is not a kiss without your sigh
Please come back to me in Casablanca
I love you more and more each day as time goes by
I love you more and more each day as time goes by

Steve's roast duck
Today, good Friday. I have no on-call. That means staying at home, reading books and trying to eat something special. A few days ago, I got a whole duck with discount from Sainsbury. This is the good time to roast it.
It came out of oven after over 2 hours.
Ready to serve. Someone will come to my place this evening. I have got some marinades. Unfortunately, no big knife to chop it.

Afternoon tea
Afternoon tea is a light meal typically eaten between 3pm and 5pm. It originated in the United Kingdom, though various places that used to be part of the former British Empire also have such a meal. However, changes in social customs and working hours mean that most Britons only take afternoon tea on special/formal occasions.
Traditionally, loose tea would be served in a teapot with milk and sugar. This would be accompanied by various sandwiches (customarily cucumber, egg and cress, fish paste, ham, and smoked salmon), scones (with butter, clotted cream and jam — see cream tea) and usually cakes and pastries (such as Battenberg, fruit cake or Victoria sponge). The food would be often served in a tiered stand.
While afternoon tea used to be an everyday event, nowadays it is more likely to be taken as a treat in a hotel, café, or tea shop, although many Britons still have a cup of tea and slice of cake or chocolate at teatime. Accordingly, many hotels now market a champagne cream tea.
Anna Maria Stanhope, Duchess of Bedford, is credited as the first person to have afternoon tea in England.
High tea
High tea (also known as meat tea) is an early evening meal, typically eaten between 5pm and 6pm in the evening. It would be eaten as a substitute for both afternoon tea and the evening meal. It is now largely replaced by a later evening meal.
It would usually consist of cold meats, eggs or fish, cakes and sandwiches. In a family, it tends to be less formal and is an informal snack (featuring sandwiches, biscuits, pastry, fruit and the like) or else it is the main evening meal.
On farms or other working class environments, "high tea" would be the traditional, substantial meal eaten by the workers immediately after nightfall, and would combine afternoon tea with the main evening meal. See also The UK Tea Council Definition.
In recent years, high tea has become a term for elaborate afternoon tea, though this is American usage and mainly unrecognised in Britain. Such usage is disfavored by etiquette advisors, such as Miss Manners

A mistake
Lately I drunk. And I browsed websites. I came across cheap monitors on ebuyer.com. I confused monitor and TV. At home, my 37 TV consumes 100 Watts. So thinking to buy a small flat TV for news. By mistake, I added this monitor to shopping basket. After a couple of more clicks, emails came in, telling me that I had successfully purchased and the item would be dispatched in 24 hours. Today I received it.
I am testing my monitor. Useless
Wondering if someone can tell me how I can watch Tv on the monitor in the cheapest way. I have got a free view receiver which has got scart connection. This monitor has only VGA port. I found scart-VGA connector on ebays and Amazon. Dont know it is working or not.

Steve was born in Burma. Graduated in Burma. I did not come here for that purpose. My seniors are not Burmese. My juniors are British. Did I come here as a slave? :) . A slave has the right to go anywhere he wants during a holiday? A slave has the right to run a company? A slave has the right to buy properties? A slave has the right to own a BMW? Well, if you are weak enough, you have to serve me, regardless of your ethnicity and nationality. If I am weak, I will serve you. Simple, isn't it? don't blame any body. You create your life. You create your fortune.
Well, if you still want to stay as a slave, it's up to you, mate! No need to compose a poem.

My shopping basket
Yes, I know today is Monday. I should have bought my foods during the last weekend. But for some reason, I forgot every thing. I had to rush to nearby Tesco which is a medium sized branch. Saving money means less ready-made.
Living in Britain is to enjoy foreign produces. You can see it. Banana from Columbia, Cucumber from Holland, Lettuce from Spain. Wine from Italy, Knoor sauce from Holland again. I don't know about pork and chicken, maybe produced in Britain. British beef is famous., well here in Britain.
Sorry, I did not intend this post for UK residents as we already know our daily life very well.

My last dinner?
Some people die easily. While driving, while walking, while playing. Some suffered a lot before they go. Some were not. After seeing several dying people and certifying death bodies, sometime I think about myself what my mode of death would be. Tragic accident on motorway after seeing Elaine? Plane crash after enjoying in Amsterdam? Murdered by a Singapore blogger? Liver failure due to too much Vodka after someone dumped me? Very difficult to tell for the time being. But now I am still alive and going to enjoy my dinner, which is rice and turkey curry. Unfortunately, no veg today.

One night trip
It was one night trip. Yesterday, I drove to Sheffield to see my friends. Sheffield is just over 260 miles away from my place according to navigator. More or less the same on Google map. But it took up to 5 hours 30 minutes to get there because of loads of road works on M1 motor way and nasty traffics.
I just get back now after stopping at several service stations. So total time was nearly 7 hours. Like driving in Burma. It was when I was 24. I drove (our driver was sitting next to me) from Yangon to Mandalay. I think distance was about 400 miles. I left Yangon at about 0430. I saw Mandalay airport at about 5PM. It was my best ever record . But I found out that the coconut oil tank put in the boot had already broken.
A is Sheffield. B is my work place.
Travel Lodge: £43 per night for single. (extra £10 if double) B/f and parking fee excluded. But fair enough as it is only max 10 min walk from Sheffield central. Night life was nice.
