My name is Aung, pronounced “Oun” (similar to “sound,” but without the ‘d’ and ‘s’). It’s a common Burmese name that signifies “win,” “victory,” or “success.”

In Burma, names are often chosen according to the day of the week a child is born, based on the horoscope. For example, children born on a Sunday usually have names beginning with the letter “A.”

It’s not customary in Burmese culture to have family names like in many other cultures. Most people’s first or last names are not tied to their father’s or family’s surname.

So, a bit about me: I hail originally from Rangoon, Burma, then went to Bangkok, Thailand, to dive into college life. From there, I took a leap into entrepreneurship in Singapore before finally living in Australia.

Nowadays, people will find me juggling a few things. But when I’m not busy with that, I’m all about following my passions! I’ve got a real knack for photography, media arts and production. People often catch me out and about, travelling the world, hitting the golf course, or finding some peace and quiet with a bit of vipassana meditation.

Navigating Life’s Twists

It’s been a year since I laid out the second phase of the project plan, but life’s unpredictability has meant I haven’t been able to deliver on them. I had factored in the possibility of lifestyle changes and even had a contingency plan, but life had other ideas. As a full-time carer for the elderly at home, I now find myself with less time to research and work on my projects. Despite these unexpected turns, I’m determined to find a way forward and keep things on track.

Planning stage

It’s time to put what I’ve learned into practice. I’m now integrating real-world experience into the e-commerce system, particularly in producing and distributing technology-based products and services for people with disabilities and the elderly. This marks the beginning of the second phase of planning for the project. Exciting times ahead!
