Myanmar's Day

IT was a fine Sunday on 22th September morning. 6000 strong supporters are busy with getting RWS revenue in time. Some supporters who mind a place in front even put better effort to fulfill their desire. I heard that some of my countrymen even slept on Sentosa island on the fortnight so that they could ensure leading the snaking Q in front. Some woke up as early as 3:00am for 9:00am-11:00am meeting with our leader. My wife and I woke up 5:45am & left room on 6:00am approximately. As it was Sunday morning, the public transport commuters are less and most of the MRT seats were occupied by Myanmar nationals who go to Sentosa meeting. It is overwhelming experience to see most of my compatriots wore traditional attires proudly on public. I think we never felt such feeling to wear own costume before. Our leader has made our mindset by example.

It was snaking Q when we reach habour front MRT on about 6:45am. We were discipline in order not to spoil the meeting. All goers seem excited and happy in queue and can't wait to see their beloved leader in person for first time.  There were few Buses ferrying crowd between two sides of the bank. We were greeted by another long queue when we reach Sentosa. The atmosphere is quite good to feel Myanmar nationals in very long queue. As there are different entrances, people keep asking not to make any mistake and there were enough volunteers to answer queries. When we reached in the hall, about 2/3 of the big hall has been occupied and we quickly take nearby seats. Since the tickets are subject to free seat, seats are serving first come first serve. There is no complain from late comers. The meeting went well and there were some ethnic entertainers on stages to kill some time before ultimate leader arrives on stage. The atmosphere is unforgettably sweet and amazing. The RWS's conventional hall immediately turned to Myanmar town under watchful security team of foreign firm. I see a lot people take photos by their smart phone and keep busy with their opinion exchange. I comfortably able to think that Myanmar's day has come to the shore of tiny state.
