My name is Aung.
Aung, pronounced “Oun” (rhymes with “sound,” without the ‘d’ and ‘s’), is a common name in Burma. It means “win”, “victory”, or “success” in Burmese.
Burmese names are traditionally given to newborns based on the horoscope for the day of the week that the child was born. Typically, names for a child born on Sunday begin with “A”.
In Burmese culture, a person’s first or last name is not necessarily the same as their father or family name. The majority of Burmese families do not have a family name.
So, a bit about me: I hail originally from Rangoon, Burma, then made my way over 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.
This site will reveal more about my personality and experiences.
