Phaww Shaww

We were busy day and night while there were having Wars in Kachin State.
All the people in the Department Head were super busy including from the Vice Commonder to the lower workers.

There’s also some unneeded wprks like moving things to one place than after a while, they said ‘ Who told to move these ? Move them back to their place’

You know what, it is really tired.
We don’t even know why we we’re tired.
We are like the ants.
Go here and there . Come back and go back. It’s sounds crazy right!?

There’s one Lieutenant Colonel Man in the department head.

He doesn’t like if someone stay calm while he is deadly busy.
If that person is younger than him,
he said ‘ You are terrible guy ‘
‘Selfish people ‘ ‘You don’t even know to help the elders. Bullshit people.’

I hate people who thought themselves equally to the youngers .
Like we are the same age and find the way out.

It seems like he does’t know that he can’t be the same with us for some small cases.
That’s because of our different status with him and the rest of us.

We always act like we were busy in front of him.

The worst is that if he heard something happen in some places,
he shouted like
‘What are you doing?
Where was that come from?
What happen?
You don’t even know to ask!
Call them. Ask them. Than tell me what happened! ‘
He always blames us if he have done something wrong.

He swears us if he has been sweared.

One day, i heard the big sound come from the city.
As his custom vibe, he asked the same words that we already learned byheard.
“Where? What happen? You guys can stay damn calm. Call. Call them now.
Than tell me back. “
And come out of his room and swears whoever he sees.

Unfortunately, i was like walking towards him.
As soon as i saw him spoiling by walking towards me, i suddently take out my phone and call the random number.

Before the call accepted, i said
“Where? What happen? Check it out, etc…”
When he saw i was on phone, he said
“Yes…that’s what i’m talking about.
Be like that.”
He was priasing me and go.

Than the real call comes and i heard my wife voice.
“Have a meal yet. Take care. I’ll call you back.”
I ended the call.
She don’t even know what happen.
(I am sorry Ma Su Thet 😁)
I held my laugh.

It’s just Phaww Shaww.
I got good brain tho.
The others were scolded beacause they don’t have a brain like me.

Than we, we know the case by wach other from the persons’ words.
The bomb went off near the security police office in front of the distract office.
No one hurt.

I told the old man that no one hurt and where it happened.
“If there more news they will tell us.”
“okok . It has to be that help. “
He was sastified.

Most of the military like Phaww Shawws (for show) and lies.
You will be beaten if you tell the truth.
There’s many example of that.
I’ll tell one of the example.

There was a man from the military come to the pig farm.
The guide was followed by him.
The man said,”Ha….You have many pigs.”
Than the guide follow his flow,
“Yes Aba(Call Dad in other way)
We have many pigs.”

“Arr…good. Is that Yorkshire?(Pig+sheep)
“Yes,Aba. It is Yorkshire.”

After reaching near that pig,
the man said “It’s not Yorkshire. It’s a female pig. Ha….there are some piglets too.”
The guide again goes by flow .
“Yes Aba.It’s not Yorkshire. It’s a female pig. There are some piglets too.”

The man told him, “Ha….You are a Phaww Shaww guy.”
“Yes ,Aba i am a PhawwShaww guy,”
said the guide smile with a bald face .

The man laugh and not angry to him.

Nowadays, the leaders in military like
Phaww Shaww.
They like people who talks about what they talk and who does what they does.
They accept the Lies .
That’s why people who have right minded and accepting the truth can’t have place in military.
There are much many people loss their work because of they don’t like Phaww Shaww.

They have to rest their heads saying they are wrong even though they are right.

So that’s why i would like to tell the good officers who are accepting the truth.
“Get out of being used and fed by them .
Get out as soon as possible from those who were learned to be Phaww Shaww since young and raised by Phaww Shaww.
