The 4th anniversary of Tangmo Nida's passing is approaching. Recently, there was an opportunity to meet Mo Amina, Tangmo's close younger sister, who attended the DPU: The Future of Human Potential event at Dhurakij Pundit University. She spoke about her late sister, saying she always remembers her. On the anniversary, she usually makes merit and visits the church where her Protestant father and siblings sing prayers at the place where Tangmo's ashes are kept.
Regarding Bird Technique, whom many believe Mo has issues with, Mo said this is not true and they've never had problems. If he introduces a new partner, she considers it his happiness because he is like a brother to her.
Is it almost the 4th anniversary of Tangmo's passing?
"It's on 24 February this year. Actually, I do the same every year. Usually, I make merit and go to the church where my father and siblings, who are Protestant, sing prayers at the place where Tangmo's ashes are kept. We hold a ceremony there."
Do you do this every year?
"Yes, every year. Honestly, I never return to the pier because I prefer going to the church to sit and talk to my sister's ashes there. It feels more peaceful. Looking back at the pier the first year was depressing, so I didn't want to return."
Is there anything special this year compared to previous years?
"I always tell my sister that whatever I said, I do consistently. I do the same things, taking care of everyone and supporting what they do. Whatever we talked about, I continue to do the same. There is nothing new or 'wow' this year; I just keep doing it as usual so it’s better than leaving things undone."
Is Bird's mental state fully recovered now?
"Honestly, I speak from my heart. We don't really keep in touch much now because everyone is busy with work. Like Hippo and Poodle, we still talk sometimes. I just feel concerned—not that I’m not concerned—but we are all grown up. I believe everyone can take care of themselves and live their own lives."
Many people wonder if you have problems with him?
"No, we have never had any problems. Everything in the group chat is the same as before."
Some link Bird's previous posts to you, wondering if there is a problem between you two?
"No, what posts? It’s definitely not me because I’ve never had any problems with him. No matter what anyone says involving me and him, it’s impossible that it’s true in the way people think. He has his own private life and lives it."
Do you often meet or talk with Bird?
"I always say if there’s an accident, just raise your hand and tell me—I’ll come. Just like I told my sister, 'Be happy, don’t think about me. If someone does wrong or hurts you, tell me. I’ll be the frontline for you.' I’m okay with being the villain (laughs)."
Many worry about Bird's mental health, especially after recent losses, including his grandfather?
"Everyone heals differently. We all have our own ways. It's not that we don’t feel sad, but it's in the past. Everyone has to move forward, remember, and do what they can for those lost, but not stay stuck to the point they can’t get up. No one can stay stagnant all the time."
Some think you might have problems with Bird because he recently introduced a new woman?
"Why would I have problems with him over that? If he introduces a new partner, he’s like a brother to me. If he’s happy, I must be happy because he can finally move forward. I’ve seen his posts if it’s about this."
What’s your view on this? Many years have passed, and he has the chance to start anew, though opinions vary.
"I just feel he probably loves her a lot. Maybe he feels lonely and wants someone to talk to. But when the time comes, I don’t see him with anyone. Maybe he does or doesn’t—I don’t know, but I don’t see it. All the time Tangmo was alive and Bird took care of her so well, it was wonderful that one man could care for a woman so much. That was already great."
Do you understand if Bird decides on his love life from now on?
"Yes, because I saw him with someone before and he is truly a good person. After this, it’s his private life. I believe he’s still a good person."
Any updates on Anna?
"We keep in touch all the time. I want to visit but couldn’t because Poodle went first. We talked and he said I didn’t need to visit because Anna is a celebrity and it wouldn’t look good. So I send money through Poodle when I know he’s going. I ask about news and how she’s doing. I know she has to take medication related to her illness, so she’s hospitalized often. I always ask about Anna because I know Poodle visits her regularly."
There were recent reports that Anna is seriously ill, which shocked people?
"We were shocked too, but I feel Anna can survive and endure."
Did she have suicidal thoughts before?
"Yes, when she was outside. (Does she still have them now?) I think it depends on her thought process. I understand that inside it can be stressful and this can happen because a friend is ill. She’s not getting treatment as well as outside. I’m not saying inside is bad, but the medication has to be stricter. I understand that part. For example, if she’s on antidepressants, the dose inside might be limited. It depends on treatment and Anna’s mental state."
Do you know how many years the case will continue?
"I’ve asked secretly but I’m not sure if it’s true, so I prefer not to confirm. If one day Anna sees this news, I want to tell her I always worry and ask about her. She’s still my friend. I may not take big action about Anna’s case, but I always ask. I never wanted to avoid it but I understand why. I support her and will support her when she’s out. I don’t care what others think. She’s still my friend."
Are you helping behind the scenes?
"Always. If she’s out, I will help. She’s my friend no matter what."
