Take me to your heart
hiding from the rain and snow trying to forget but i won't let go looking at a crowded street
listening to my own heart beat
so many people
all around the world
tell me where do i find
someone like you girl
take me to your heart
take me to your soul
give me your hand before i'm old
show me what love is
- haven't got a clue
show me that wonders can be true
they say nothing lasts forever
we're only here today
love is now or never
bring me far away
take me to your heart
take me to your soul
give me your hand and hold me
show me what love is
- be my guiding star
it's easy take me to your heart
standing on a mountain high
looking at the moon through a clear blue sky
i should go and see some friends
but they don't really comprehend
don't need too much talking
without saying anything
all i need is someone
who makes me wanna sing

This song was inundated with fans here in China,but I stand by and see them like that. But it touched me when i watched a stage show tonight by a chance.Maybe it reminds me someone who were in my mind long time ago.

When I visited Angkor Wat ,it remind me Pugan og Burma.Pagan was the capital of Burma between 1044 and 1287. More than 2000 Buddhist monuments have been recorded at the present-day site which measures 13 by 6 km and includes the villages Nyaung-U, Wetkyi-in, Old Pagan, New Pagan, and Minnanthu (see map). They are temples housing one or more Buddha images, or stupas which do not have an accessible interior.

But they are GORGEOUS!!!

This is most glorious ceremonial in Burmese family.

Recent incidents of sexual violence by the Burmese military regime's troops in western, eastern and central Burma have lent urgency to demands for an immediate end to war crimes in Burma made by the Women's League of Burma in a position paper released today at the United Nations in New York.



On 9 October 2006, six soldiers from Infantry Battalion No. 9 gang-raped three Palaung women, including a 14-year-old girl, in southern Shan State; one of the women died of her injuries. On 10 October 2006, three naval cadets gang-raped a 14-year-old girl in Sittwe, in western Burma's Arakan State. On August 22, 2006, a Russian-trained Burma Army officer raped a 17-year-old village girl at gunpoint near Tada-U Airport in central Burma while on security duty. None of the rapists has been punished.



In the position paper released by WLB for the Sixth Anniversary of UNSC resolution 1325, the WLB reiterates that the sexual violence being committed by the regime's troops in Burma are war crimes. They are not committed by rogue elements within the military but are systematic and structuralized, and central to the modus operandi of the regime.



"These political rapes, these war crimes, have been continuing because of the system of impunity that exists Burma and the complete lack of any improvement politically inside Burma" says Thin Thin Aung, a WLB Presidium Board member, one of the WLB team lobbying at the United Nations Security Council in New York.



The position paper also exposes how the regime's increased militarization and prioritization of military spending has seriously affected the social sectors of health and education, with dire impacts on women and children.



The WLB team is currently joining the Women, Peace and Security Advocacy Week activities at the United Nations, where it is using UNSC Resolution 1325 to lobby for a Security Council resolution on Burma, and for an increased role for women in peace-building processes.



"The UN Security Council must pressure the regime to implement an immediate ceasefire and cease all war crimes against civilians in Burma," says Thin Thin Aung. "Then the UNSC must ensure that an irreversible peace and reconciliation process takes place."

Creating Heroes
( http://www.tayzathuria.org.uk/notice.htm)

_ by Jim Mcnalis

[Jim McNalis is the creator of the very well known sculpture of Aung San Suu Kyi. Jim made the sculpture with clay from Burmese soil which he secretly packed away in his suitcase on his returns home from his occasional trips to Burma. He presented his famous sculpture of Aung San Suu Kyi to Burmese government in exile who later relayed it to Aung San Suu Kyi's family in Britain.

Jim also made a sculpture of Saw Bo Mya, the much revered leader of Karen National Union (KNU). Lately, Jim made sculptures of the three famous comedians in Burma, called "the Three Moustache Brothers" who bravely make jokes on SPDC military regime .]

I have just returned from another trip into Burma and am filled with the usual combination of emotions: elation at the beauty of the country and the wonderful people; sadness at the continuing injustice under which the people are forced to live; and an anger bordering on rage at the behavior of the regime to its people.

I, along with the rest of the civilized world, was shocked by the re imprisonment of Min Ko Naing and his colleagues. What the regime fails to understand is that they have not created prisoners, they have created heroes. Like Daw Suu Kyi, they are unable to break down their opposition. When they temporarily release these moral warriors from their cells, they are expecting broken, grateful kow towing silence. It is not to be. These people have a moral superiority and a strength the generals will never comprehend. They all possess what I referred to as a "nobility of the human spirit" in describing my sculpture of Aung San Suu Kyi. People with this "nobility of the human spirit" ennoble us all.

It is time now to insure that Min Ko Naing's heroic defiance of injustice are honored. I hope BURMA DIGEST readers can also answer the call for reference material on Min Ko Naing.

I WILL NEED: (Anything that can be emailed or sent to me would be greatly appreciated.)

1. I would like any written materials, biographies or interviews that will let me understand his personality, intelligence, humor or other characteristics that make him unique...all these features must be incorporated into the sculpture.

2. Any and all photos of Min Ko Naing. While a good painting can be done from a good photograph, a good sculpture requires photos of many different angles...Full Front; 3/4 views and any left or right profile shots would be extremely useful.

So I ask all of you to help me honor this brave man and guarantee that every minute the generals make him spend in prison will not make him a prisoner, it will make him a hero.

The generals are fools. They are actually guaranteeing Min Ko Naing and all Burmese who they imprison will be heroes and that through the example of these courageous people the regime cannot survive.

Please join me in this effort to resist the regime. Please join me in honoring a hero. I thank you all in advance for whatever helps you can provide. [If you send anything related with Min Ko Naing to burmadigest@tayzathuria.org.uk , it'll be forwarded to Jim.]
