A small piece of Hope


Day "13" of Quarantine

Well........, it has been almost 13 days I arrived Thailand for the third time and the first time to Asian Institute of Technology. Of course, the Pandemic did not post an easy entrance to Thailand. Starting from the closure of Royal Thai Embassy and waiting for almost a month for the reopening of Embassy in Yangon to the process of doing quarantine for 14 days at the University was already proven my tough journey into Thailand. On the other side, nothing can stop my enthusiasm to come to Thailand to fulfill my long awaited dream of studying Master degree in the area which I really do want to explore.

It is a long story to write about my enthusiasm here, so let me just leave that part. I will be coming to that part at some time.

Do you think staying in an almost 18 sq meter room for two weeks is easy? I don't think so, but I do have much big problems. Sometimes I am just gazing at the big greeny trees from my balcony and wish to walk around the campus. Sometimes I can't stop my mind thinking about wandering the campus when I see people biking around from my balcony. Sometimes I imagine I was taking a long breath at the top of very beautiful mountains. Sometimes I imagine I was sitting beside the beach at the gulf of Thailand holding a can of beer in my hand and feeling the toughness of the waves coming to the beach. Sometimes I imagine I was in a camping holding a cup of coffee and gazing at breathtaking views of the mountains ranges in the morning when I wake up from bed. Sometimes, when I heard the aircraft flying over the sky at night, I imagine the stunning clouds above the sky. Sometimes, when I felt hungry at the middle of the night, I wish to go the 7/11 to pick up my favorite yogurt drink. Sometimes, when I can't eat the chicken curry in the meals, I just wish to eat my mom's curry. 

Anyway, if I get tested negative for my last Covid swab test, I will be able to move to self-isolation phase and I can take breath the air of AIT campus outside of the small room for 180 minutes per day at least. That's a small piece of hope that I have for the day after tomorrow!!!!!

Tragedy of Life

  May be this is the time that I should stop getting back something in return from my job applications. Looking back at the story, it was since December 2022 that I had been looking for jobs. At first, I had been looking for jobs with good salaries so that I can build the house in Mrauk U. I keep looking for that without losing a piece of hope. I came back to Myanmar at the end of July, 2023 after finishing my thesis. My plan was to take a rest for a while, until the end of December, at home since I was too tired from my thesis writing and all the related stuffs. However, I got an offer from a local organization after one month at home to work at Sittwe for an emergency response project. I decided to accept the offer to stay with my sister and support her education since she would have to attend her second-year distance education in law in Sittwe and I also had to work there. Seems like a good choice! I enjoyed my work. I stepped into the very first management job. I enjoyed working th

Personal Transformative Story with Jeff Satur

Image
It was June 23, 2022 that I first met the person, who transforms my life into a miracle. A miracle for my life, a miracle throughout my two years journey in Thailand. I met him for five times in one year outside. Every time I met him, I felt lucky. I auspiciously got the chance to meet him from quite a closed distance. Here is the story. One of my friends in AIT used to introduced me with the BL series named Kinn Porche the series. I started to watch it. Jeff played the role Kim in the series and he is not the main character there and his screen time is very few. His first appear in the series was in Ep 4 if I was not wrong and he did not even show his face at the time. Just seeing his back made me so interested about him. However, I was not into him that much at first but gradually and slowly I thought he was unconsciously in my mind all the time. One day, he appeared in my dream and I realized that omg, I became too much into him. You know what, the next

Who Creates Climate Change and Who Suffers?

 Who Creates Climate Change and Who Suffers?   When I was 19 in 2015, I experienced the most serious flood of my life in Mrauk U which is my hometown. The water level was increasing immediately and the flow of water was too strong, if you passed it, you can be floated with the water flow even if you can swim. Me and my sister were sent to neighbor's house from the highland area. My mom and dad were being busy with keeping the household accessories in the place where they thought the flood could not reach. There were a few boats in the flooded main road in front of our house. Here was the question that came up in my mind after flooding. What made this flood happened? At the age of 19 who was in the second year of University, I could not really figure out the answers for the question. However, I come to know gradually that flooding is that the problem that me, my family and my community has been facing. It is obviously a worldwide problem. There are some facto
