so cute

went to furong's bday celebration today. it got so heartwarming when his mom kissed him on the cheek like he's her everything..wow. you just know it's love. :D
u noe.. we were talking about 21st birthdays. it can get pretty lonely when you invite many many different groups of friends? but on the other hand.. u wanna celebrate this wonderful occasion with everyone you know.
so now, klang's having the headache on how to celebrate her 21st birthday. how where when?? lots of questions and planning. im so excited for her. hee..i always think birthdays are worth celebrating..~. haha.. well, maybe when you're like 50 plus it can get pretty dreadful? u noe.. old and sagging. haha
hmm.. talking bout BIRTHdays, i saw an actual chid birth on national geographic today. trust me.. its no pretty sight... well, it's AMAZING~ but definitely not beautiful. my goodness! they had a camera in her womb for us to see the contractions and all.. so we could see EVERYTHING. internally.. externally..
when i saw the crowning of the head, i almost fainted. and when the head was out, i thought the worst was over. omg.. the shoulders! i almost died. haa.. but when the whole process was over, u see the mom beaming, together with tears of joy. *sobs*
well, i think its crazy that tom cruise wants katie holmes to have a silent birth. all in the name of scientology. ??!?!?!?!?!

According to the tenets of Scientology, known as "Dianetics," words — even loving ones — spoken during birth and other painful times are recorded by the "reactive mind," or subconscious. Those memories, adherents feel, can eventually trigger problems for mother and child.

What the doctrine doesn't say is that laboring moms can't make some noise during delivery.

"We're not going for absolute silence," said self-professed "Scientology mom" Michelle Seward. "If a sound is made, that's OK."

After years studying the faith, established in 1950 by fiction writer L. Ron Hubbard, Seward went the silent route for the birth of her son, Sage, five years ago.

Seward drew up a birth plan and discussed her desire for a wordless delivery with her doctor.

In the hospital delivery room, she used hand signals to communicate with her husband and mother. A nurse tapped her on the shoulder to tell her it was time to push. When a complication arose after 30 hours of labor, the doctor whispered to Seward that she would need an epidural.

"I had a happy, calm baby," she said. "I know it's because of the way I delivered him."

huh?~?!?~!??~!?!?~
