Letter #39

pp.163-166

TSU went to his first movie in thailand and he really liked it

idk if the film name is “Cheng Si Mui“ or not

one great advantage of film over live opera is the sense of reality that can e conveyed

AB nek norm him tv merl and yy roum tv he enjoyed it alot

he also talk abt the Pao Kong

The movie theatre is near to the shop

TSU didnt allow the older children to go because he thinks its too crowded and unhealthy there a

He thinks that it is the mother’s fault for bringing their child to the theathre cz kid nature is that they get bored easily

After he left the theatre he met his nemesis- beggars. Beggars begging him for money. Seems like TSU really despise beggars

They then stop at a noodle shop that AB suggested for a snack

Suddenly theres a women with baby begging for money

When TSU was abt to give money, AB stopped him and gave her food

the beggar stared at her fled away

TSU asked why did AB did that

She says that kinds of beggar is the worst,s he aint hungry nor the child, she rents the baby and beg at places with women

She also them that there tactcs sometime requires them to steal baby

TSU dont like that type of beggar. He was like “Do they have no shame? “

He really dun like it

ANyway Suang U had a really fun evening and he didnt work for 2 more days. WOOW thats a big deal considering he is a workaholic

i guess he also tender hearted since he really was affected by the beggar and the baby
