Dearest Suu Kyi,
I know this might be weird but i do need to express my gratitute towards you. It was a starstuck moment for the first time I saw you. I was just 12 and was sitting in the living room watching the 8 o'clock news with my family. Then I saw you, standing behind the house gate of yours, waving your hands towards the supporters outside your house. The calm posture of yours, those tenderness eyes and the graceful way of yours waving your hands, "WOW" was the only word I had said after that news.
After that, I found out more about you through my mum and the papers and the internet.
I was stunned by who you are and what you did. Who could imagine that a woman with a charming feature and those slim limbs could have such strong and determined characters, using every strength she had to fight for her country. (Her calmness and polite manners whenever facing various situation and obstacles makes her even more respectable and I do believe this is one of the factors she was being given the Noble Peace Prize in 1991. However, she choose not to receive it because she was afraid that she won't get the chance to step into her own country again if she went abroad.)
I would really like to thank you as somehow those endless spirits of yours had rekindles my passion towards politics. I hope that someday I will be somebody who is as kind-hearted and passionate as you.I shall end my letter by wishing you good luck and success for the hardworks of yours throughout these many years.
( Dam Suu means Mother Suu by Burmese )
P.S. Please forgive me to address this lady of the century without the politeness of using either "madam" or any other suitable callings.
