To those of you who are a big fan of Kate Hudson, you might’ve seen the movie ‘the skeleton key’, which kinda stands out only cos ‘horror’ was never her genre. She’s more of a romcom actor. After watching that movie, it made me question why the worst happens to the best of us sometimes. A nurse who’s willing to do anything to save lives and before you know it, the whole horror shit strikes her and shit happened in the end.
So, I’ve thought of helping out pay my mom’s debt. Yes, there are a lot of things mom did that I was never proud of but given I could’ve done a lot of things she might not have been proud of, it’s only fair that I’m there for her. So, I came up with plan A, which kinda backfired and partially it’s caused me to not see my boyfriend for six days. Plan B was kinda tough but I had it going on.
Currencies in Myanmar are a bit complicating. You got the OTHER currencies like euros and dollars. Then, you have kyats, which is the official Myanmar currency. And out of nowhere, you have FEC, so called the Burmese equivalent of one US dollar, which is a bit of a lie. So, basically 1 USD gives 900 – 1000 kyats. Ok, so you might probably think that’s the same thing as FEC. WRONG! It’s always slightly 50-100 kyats lower. So, if 1 USD gives 950 kyats, 1 FEC would give 900 kyats.
Now, I get paid in FECs sadly. It’s not by choice but what can I say? I swear there are shit loada things I’m kinda sacrificing for just cos I’m working for the UN. I’m not really happy with my salary or their paying system or the whole ‘O we pay you in USD’ in the contract but not in reality, where it’s always FECs. I can’t complain. I do like my boss and the fact that he’s given me a place here is good enough for now. And, it’s not a long contract anyways.
Go go gadget calculator…. So, basically I have things planned out for 1 FEC equivalent to around 900 kyats. And I would chip in from my actual savings to make things better. But guess what. These days, 1 FEC is actually 700 kyats. So, if I were to sacrifice 10,000 kyats in the beginning, I’ll have to sacrifice something like 30,000 kyats now.
So, this is where I question ‘fate’ or ‘karma’. What’s wrong with wanting to help my mom? Why are things being so hard to save her from debts? Now, I’m a bit in a daze on how to deal with the dude who would be around the corner asking me for the mu lah! Oh why oh why??? Why can’t shit like this happen to those who are wasting their mu lahs on paedo porn? I mean, those guys should rot in hell and leave kids alone, eh?
Why do I have to suffer when I’m actually trying to do something good? Why would Kate Hudson face a bad ending when her only intention was to save people? You tell me!
