Sum bai dee

What happen in Burma ak Myanma?  The world still called the country Burma.  I do.  Yesterday, my sensei asked me about Burma.  He wanted to know if my country was hit too.  I told him no.  We are fine.

My encounter with Burmese is rare to none.  I fixed my car with a Burmese a couple of times.   He is Lory’s dad.  She calls me Uncle.  My friends told me about the shooting death of a Burmese.  It was an armed robbery.  The two Burmese was dropped off at the gas station near their home by their employer.  They went inside the gas station to cash their checks.  When they came out, they were approached by an armed man.  They tried to run for it.  Their homes were just a block away.  The gunman fired a few shot hitting one man.  He collapsed.  When the other Burmese called for help but it was too late.   The other night I sat at the coffee shop across the street from where the incident happened.  I wondered, how can you just die here?  Why here why now?  You came a long way.   You are far from home.  Then I thought about the surviving members of his family.   I heard the wife and the children are having a very difficult time dealing with the death the leader of the household.  Kum vane, Vane kum.

There are many Burmese refugees in Atlanta.   Some of the refugees in Atlanta are the minority groups from Burma.   Out of the tiny groups each has its own culture and beliefs.  They are not getting.  They can’t stand each others.   Little Lory said her mom is having a hard time because some of the Burmese the Chin rather refused help from her mom.  I asked why.   They need help and services, don’t they?  Lory told me the Chin were suppressed by the Burmese in Burma and they don’t like the Burmese.  They have their pride.   Surprised, I asked myself, what time of the day this is?

What are the chances that people you lost will come back and be with you again?  Chances that people that you care about will come back and care for you once more?  Slim but hopeful. 

“You don’t remember me do you?”  a man said to the woman at the airport newsstand.  The woman was puzzled.  ”Is this guy for real?” She thought.   “Look, you are frustrated, I am frustrated.  What do you say I buy you a drink?”  The man verify himself as a friend of a friend.  They met three years ago at a steakhouse in Houston.  It was at her sister’s birthday gathering.  They went and have a martini of course.

Chances are you will be with that person again if it is meant to be.  I met a lot of people who I love and care about.  Today I have hope that chance will benefit in my favor.

Today, we should learn the word Ki.  Pronouce with a short sound Kee; nounds means stool, doo doo, …  Adjective, means lazy.

If you are Laotian, you should know by know how we Laotian use ki.  Ki describe someone’s bad habit.  Ki this ki that.  Oh you name it.  All the bad habits has to follow the word ki.  Today, I am ki kan.  I went to the park and walk then jog then walk a little.  I did not complete the 1.4 mile.  I quit and went to get grocery and here I am…going to write but ki kan.  Lab is closing going home…

This song touched my heart even though I have not yet listen to it.  The computer I am using do not have sound and I don’t have earphones.  The rylics are great already.  I will hear his singing later.  It kindna good this way too I suppose.

Sometime the most beautiful sound I hear are from the sound that are muted.   Is that make any sense?
