U Thein Oo
- He was known as “Ah Thay Lay“.
- He is another example of “Great men are short“.
- He is an entrepreneur (since his school days).
- He supposedly paid his school fees from his winnings from “Ta Chut Hmok / Show” (and similar card games).
With great control and having excellent strategies, he was never victimized by “over-emotional” card players. - He was also good in sports :
as a “lifter” in volleyball
and as a “smasher” in table tennis.
- He received B.Com in 1969
- He joined the Department of Commerce
- He later transferred to UCC as Application Programmer along with Bo Shoke, Ko Htin Kyaw and Ko Tun Shwe.
- His mentors include Saya Dr. Khin Mg Kyi (who attended the University as a monk & is known for his debating style).
Ko Thein Oo is equally good as his mentor and may be even better. - Saya found his soul mate (Than Than Tint) at UCC.
Or is it Thant Thant Tin (or the permutations)?
On their early date, a Sayama from Commerce Department saw them and broke the news to UCC Sayas. - They and their family members (son, daughter-in-law) operate ACE and its subsidiaries.
- Ko Thein Oo and Ko Tin Win Aung co-founded the first “training & services” company.
- Ko Thein Oo has served in various capacities (President …) in MCF and similar organizations.
- He would entertain (e.g. with Naga Ni song) at the UCC and ICST Gatherings.

Tin Tin Myint (Emma, ChE70)
Sayama Emma wrote on her 73rd birthday (on December 6, 2018)
Today is my birthday.
Am now listening to U Su Mingala and will meditate to start my next year.
Hope to do more Taya and less of everything.
I thank everyone in my life.
Love everyone.
I ask forgiveness to those whom I unknowingly did wrong.
Likewise I forgive anyone who did to me.
Am grateful for my family, my Husband, my Daughter, my Son in law and my delightful grandchildren.
Am indeed blessed.
** Editor’s Note :
Wishing Model & Minthamee turned Mae Daw Gyi & Phwa Phwa a Happy Birthday and many more to come.
You can perform Parahita and also practice Meditation.
You can also continue to enjoy the simple pleasures like Pon Chan Chan parties (with music, dancing, and cooking) and spending quality time with your lovely grand kids.
You can gain merits repeatedly by contemplating on your kusala and how you had taken care of your beloved mother.
Have a balanced life and live beyond the 120 years mentioned in your natal horoscope.
