Those Were The Days

I strayed into this web by chance. Regret to note that my dear friends U Thane Hlying, and Dr.Win Hetin had passed away. We had good time together when we were students in UK. U Thane Hlying was in IC London and Dr.Win Htein was in Durham. I was in Sunderland, close to Durham and so often spent lots of time with Dr.Win Htein who was a great story teller and a good ales drinker. When in London, we had great fun in Holland Road with our compatriots and pots og beer provided by U Thane Hlying. My other close friend U Myint Thein, Rector of University of Pharmacy, Myanmar is also gone. I do miss my student days in UK!

Dr.Marlar Myo Myint

So nice to see this website. It brings my memories of Geoloogy Dept. I hope I can bring some of the pictures from Geology and post. I donot know this website and I was writing some article with one of my friends website. Next time I will share of my experiences from this web.

In Memory of U Thane Hlyne and Dr. Win Htein

U Thane Hlyne
I would like to express many thanks to U Thane Hlyne for producing the photos of the graduating class of 1978 . U Thane Hlyne and U Zaw Thet dedicated a lot of time taking pictures of each of the 300 students and compiling into one big photo. Their one square foot project is invaluable to all of us now as a record of our university years. He made a picture of the teachers of the Geology Department too. He said that he got this idea from his dorm in England.

In April, 1978, we took the final year field trip to Mye Taung and Lune Kyaw, east of Kyate Se, supervised by U Thane Hlyne and U Khine Shin. On the way back to Yangon, He got off at Taungoo station to see his wife who was a nurse at Taungoo hospital at that time.

When I was a student, Daw Nander Oo ( Ma Ann from AGD) recalled his scholar life in England. His close friends knew him by Mr. Guinness, named after his favorite drink.

I was so sorry when I read of his tragic accident in the newspaper. I could not pay my respect since I was in Mogok.

Dr. Win Htein
Dr. Win Htein, from AGD was a substitute teacher for Dr. Yin Yin Nwe for a few weeks in 1977. He gave lectures on optical mineralogy in my third year in Hlyne Campus.

We had a DAG field trip to Bawdwin with Saya Htein and other teachers in the summer of 1980. He treated us more like a friend than a student.

In the early 1980’s, he translated English novels to Burmese and published them. His pen name was “Padamya Win Htein”.
I remember one evening in Kandaw Gyi Hotel in the early 1980’s. While we had beer and enjoyed the Kandawgyi lake view, he told me about a novel he had completely translated but never published as a book. He was not only a very good teacher but also a very good raconteur. We’d lost track of time when he finished the story. After the ending the story, we realized that I was not the only audience, a couple of waiters were standing behind us and listening to him. If I’m not mistaken, I believe the name of the novel is “The November Man”.

I was very sad when I got a short message from U Aung Myint Thein (Canada) : “Our beloved D Htein passed away yesterday”.

Rest in Peace U Thane Hlyne, Saya Htein and Daw Nander Oo(Ma Ann).
Please see the attached photo worked by U Thane Hlyne.

Thank you very much.

Geophysical Advisor, TEP USA, Myint Thu

Thank you for creating this valuable web site, especially for the 1981 batch student like me. I am glad to read the news, stories, comments and look at the photos. I even found myself in two photos. Although I had good friendship with many friends at that time, I hung out most often with Wai Lwin (now in USA), Than Htut (Lada), Nay Win (Saya Paing), Moe Nyunt, Hla Thu, Aung Khaing Swe (now in Singapore) and Myo Nyunt (Mutu) (you may or may not recognize me in the group photos with them in the last page). My field teachers were U Myitta, U Min Swe and U Moe Kyaw for third year and U Khin Maung Latt and U saw Pe for fourth year.
When I worked for MOGE between 1984 and 1994, I was always away from Yangon that I started losing contacts with many of my friends from the school. Since 1996, I have been working abroad and it becomes more difficult for me to meet with friends. However, I always tried to meet friends whenever I visited home. Last time I visited Myanmar was in December 2008. I visited Geology Department and met with Win Naing, Dr (professor) whom I happened to meet in France in 1998. I also met dozens of friends at Soe Nyi Nyi’s place and we were able to discuss about paying homage to our teachers. But I could not attend the ceremony as I had to be back here.

Thanks again for your kind creation of this web site.

Dr Win Naing

Sayar U Thane Hlyne
Dear Ko Soe Myint,
First of all, thank you so much for creating such a lovely web site allowing geologists to meet, share experiences and provide updates.
I have to admit that I didn’t visit your website recently until today.
To my surprise “comments by Dr Yin Yin Nwe and Ko Myint Hlaing (NY)” were posted in end of September and early October 2009, respectively, with my name mentioned in comments/stories.
Well, I would like to take this opportunity to add a few to their comments.
Sayar U Thane Hlyne (Dr Yin Yin Nwe spelt it correctly) was a very talented, energetic, self-sacrificing person and a devoted geologist/teacher.
He also did great contribution in field training, particularly surveying and geological mapping. His approach was a bit tough though but in those days physical and mental endurance played a pivotal role in becoming a good geologist. Dr Yin Yin Nwe was one such geologist, right?

He was a great photographer. We had a “dark room” in the department for developing negative films and printing. He was helping research geologists in making “slides” from negative films for presentation at the Annual Research Conference. Personally, I owed him in this subject. When I had to prepare slides of photomicrographs for a research paper presented in 1967 he worked with me in the dark room till 4:00 a.m. He would never spoon-feed you but you have to learn by watching him.

He was also a manager/coach of geology soccer team. And, the dinner would be on him whether the team won or lost, at “U Chit Tea House” near Ramanya Hall (University Teaching Staff Residence). He stayed at an apartment in Ramanya Hall with his family (Daw Tin Pu, wife/retired matron, Cho Bu/Myint Hlaing and Cho Too). Ma Ma Pu is now in Singapore with younger sons and a granddaughter.

He was the first one who brought a text book for “Plate Tectonics” when he came back from London University to collect data and materials for his PhD thesis. Dr Mg Thin used it for Physical Geology course to introduce “Plate Tectonics” to students. In those days, continental drift was still a controversial topic at our Geology Department (Yangon).

Of course, while sayar U Thane Hlyne was at Imperial College, London, Daw Yin Yin Nwe was at Cambridge University and I was at UNB, Canada. We were all doing Ph D. Those were the days.

It was a tragedy in 1987. We lost a true geologist. We pray for all late teachers of GEOLGOY annually on 9 August 2009 at the Burmese Buddhist Temple in Singapore.

“We were born innocent. Experiences, environment and society shape our perception of what is right and wrong”.

Dr. Yin Yin Nwe,  UNICEF Representative to China

I would like to tell everyone about one of our sayas, Saya U Thane Hlyne. As you can see from the previous message, he was Ko Myint Hlaing's father.

Saya U Thane Hlyne was my teacher and taught us structure and survey, and on my second year field trip to Aung Ban, he taught us how to map the terrain (among all those pine trees and limestone outcrops) with survey instruments. I was one of Saya U Thane Hlyne's favourite students. He used to call me "Shan Ma." We used to go and eat at his house when he was living in Yamanya Hall (yes, back then Yamanya Hall was a residential place - Ko Myint Hlaing's mother, Ma Ma Nge will know me.)

On our general traverses, when we had to walk more than 20 miles a day uphill and downhill, Saya used to test me by asking me to carry big rock samples, sometimes even bigger than what he gave the boys. He would often throw me those rock samples, saying "Yaw, Shan Ma, Hpan!" (here, catch!).
I often tell my own students that Saya U Thane Hlyne gave me such good training that it's made me really tough!

When he died in 1987, falling off the Mandalay night train, I was in Kin-Tar Hse area, on an field trip with my M.Sc. students Khin Sanda, Ko Htin Kyaw, Cho Cho Oo and friends. Later, when I went to see Saya U Thane Hlyne's wife, she told me that Saya had talked a lot about all of us geology students, including me, just before he took that fatal train to Mandalay.

I am the same batch with U Khaing Shin and one class younger than U Win Naing. I was in Cambridge University doing my Ph.D. when Saya U Thane Hlyne was studying in London University, Imperial College.

General
Thank you very much for your Geologist related website http://geologist-myanmar.com/ .
I’m not a Geologist but I know a lot of Geologists because my dad U Thane Hlyne was Geologist and he passed away in1987. I found U Par Toe (U Min Swe), U Myitta, U Ko Thin (Dr Maung Thin), U Win Naing, U Khine Shin, U Zaw Thet and others people’s phone numbers and address in your website. That’s really helpful for me. I left Burma in 1997. I never met most of them since 1987 when my dad’s funeral service was held.
Now, I’m in NY with my family and thanks again for your contribution.

Thank you, thank you, for the beautiful song!
I hadn't visited this site in a long while and what a pleasure to visit this time and find one of my favourite songs on the site -- Mya Kyun Nyo Nyo Tekatho. What beautiful and poignant memories it brought back! Let us hope that we will one day meet again, on the beautiful University Campus, under the fragrant gangaw trees in early summer, and under the red sein-ban trees in the monsoon rains.....drinking tea under the bandar trees.

with metta to all my students, friends and sayas.....

This website really is a nice one for all of us to exchange our feeling, contact info and memory. I am from '87 batch.

I hardly have a chance to get back to meet friends since I left Singapore in 1999. Luckily, I have had a chance to meet with many friends out there in Singapore. We have had a nice gathering down there in Pennisular Plaza. I guess, many of our friends are doing good in Singapore.

Hope we will meet again. Please email to me at: "naingkyaw@hotmail.com".

Cheers!

Ko Soe Myint,
Very much appreciated for your effort.
I am one student from 1981 batch too and now in Singapore.
The first photo of third row ( 4 guys with blue shirts) were taken on Hakha Ship to Mergui(myeik) in 1981 when we first worked as field geologists around Mergui Archipelagoes under DGSE. They are Than Tut, Aung San Win, Pe Myint Oo and myself. I have one old group photo (taken in 1980 in Southern Shan state forest) and will send to you later. Thanks a lot.

First of all I want to say thank you for creating this site.I was graduate in 1978 and DAG 1980. I am very glad to see the recent photos of all my great Saya and Sayama from our Geology departmant. Reading all the Geol's stories bring back all the memories I had. I used to work with Maung Maung Kyaw at TSC, last time I heard about him is,he is still working in Mogoke.
Glad to see Saya Tar ,who has a great sense of humour and always stand for his student.

I just found out this website with surprise since I have never heard about, and didn't imagine to have one too. Fortunately, I found it useful, and hence I have even forwarded to my Burmese Geologist friends working here in Singapore. I am sure every Burmese Geologist would love it!

When I see this website I really feel like I am visiting our Geology Department and remember all those days. Anyway, I am greatly appreciate of such a wonderful idea. Well done!!!
