I thought I was gonna recorded each day as the monks march by my street and recapture and record the people's feeling and options through out the whole affair as they called it in Yangon now. But between government shooting at the protester , cutting down internet connection and my life affair I never get to post this blog more than one pages. Now that I have some free time on my hand I decided to wrote it all down before I get too old and forgot all about it.
I am really obsessed with what on peoples mind on time like that and what drove them on to walk straight into gun arm nothing but empty water bottles and a couple of bricks. Everyone in the west must have thought that all the average Burmese naturally hate military dictators of Burma long before this saffron revolution. That just what BBC and CNN want to cash it in and exile Burmese oppositions lobby for their lack of life and real actual purpose. Until now I can't still figure out what exile oppositions are doing in their respected exile countries but I am sure all their effort are fruitless judging by their work which bear no fruit for more than 20 years of opposing the SPDC. Burmese are poorly disorganized and ill disciplinary race in my options, I am a 100% Burmese by the way, not to mention the fact that most Burmese have very short memory. One minute, the solider were shooting against us and another minutes , you can see some peoples are making casual conversation with them. They are not even trying to flatter them for more special privilege and opportunity which I would have understand if they did.
But this saffron revolution change all that, peoples view and life were change forever I guess. Before all this, majority of the peoples weren't pro or anti junta. We were all just people who want what rest of the world have. 24 hours electricity, running tap water , secure job , car and a house and wireless cell phone which is a rare luxurious commodity that show the high social status. To get all that we are not afraid work with the junta or suck it up to them after all west having taken granted to all the thing we ever wanted and asked us to run straight into the guns man by the child solider on drug. After we had done all that all they every did was shout as loud as they can and they could not even pressure china to do the right thing. I remembers some peoples actually though that American were coming to drop a bomb into Nay Pyi Daw.
These 9 days that took place between august 19 to September 28 were the second most darkest time in my life. It was moment that all hell broke lose, Nargis was hopeless and uncertainty But the last day of fail uprising was pure chaos. I always like Hell riser movie sequel and those days I felt like demons were in control of Yangon city.And I actually understand what would be like to open the puzzle box and hell raisers went straight at you. The whole city of 5.5 millions peoples were empty and I felt as a City die suddenly as civilization vanish in thin air over the night. I lived with such fear in that time , I was prepared when Nargis came.
