Hi club ppl

I got some summary to conclude here coz they were just short notes only and not a full messages.

1. Because of parcle post charge are jumped into the FEC rate, ppl outside burma would not have a chance to eat MhoHinnKha Dry Parcel by paying in US$ 10-20 from nowon sent by their loved ones from Burma. Now my parents are trying to write alot of very long letters and post it to me immidieately coz they fear that letter postal charge might follow to FEC market sooner or later.So we could call that it's Burmese Market Economy.

2. Some ppl might know San San New (ThaYaWaDi), a prisoned writer of Burma together with her elder daughter, who now suffering liver and kidney problem in Insein Jail. I jus want to remind myself that now MaThiDa (SanChaung) and NyiPuLay (LuDu, Mandalay) are recently freed from jail and they are writing with their pen in magazine n novels but ofcoz, Journalist U Win Tin is still under the darkness and Maung ThawKa (poet n satarist) has passed away behind bars. I still remember him talking to me when i met him there while we were waiting for Jail Doctor to check on some ill-treated prisoners. He had said to me, read out a poem in Eglish, " The body could b hold n locked behind bars, walls and chains but soul is and will be always free forever.."

3. So I jus make myself clear that when I forget what i hav come though, I always say it to myself, the price of freedom is not for me to get taken for granted but for others to suffer or dead and they jus passed it over to me with their bloodied hand with their wish of living future fearless.

4. So how much FEC would charge to u for a small packet of parcel, it's because we asked for it in exchange with a price, against of our will or not is always a question....

Thanks & Best Regards
