im yet to continue doing kueh now cause im watching Culture X on okto. Good show so far. Im hooked because the topic they're doing today was about re-incarnation, surrogracy and gender-determination. Basically, its about life lah simply. The fist part of the show was in Thailand - about re-incarnation of souls after death. Like where you're souls go or transform after you die and they have this death-coffin experience for you to try and cleanse yourself.
The second part was about India- surrogracy. They're specialized in surrogracy and its like poor people are paid to become surrogate mother to a complete stranger. They are paid handsomely and usually, these women are mothers. Mothers who took up this job to make sure they have the money to give their children the education they need. These mothers sacrifice their 9 months to carry and protect this baby and afterwhich after giving birth, they were not allowed to see the baby as it is part of a agreement signed by both parties.
The third part was about China. The policy of having two kids - a boy and a girl. I mean, the couples there took medications so that they wouldn't like have two children of the same gender or else they are fined, kicked out of the village or burdened.
The last part was about Philipines. The Philipines practice the method of giving birth under water. Like in a bathtub because they believe this is a thing of welcoming the baby into the new world. Like really, in a tub and then just give birth lah. Blood all.
Giving birth is indeed a true and pure miracle. But honestly, its scary and the pain - gosh, no words can describe it i guess. Its just too much. Like Egpyt, a women's body is a temple. Then the surrogracy. I mean, we should all appreciate what we have now. Because in other parts of the world, surrogracy is a job. You become a surrogate mother to earn money for your family - buy a home and educate your kids. Just sad but thats life. I watched the show and it really touches me about mothers. Then the giving birth part, i feel so lucky and so wonderful to be here!
I love my mum and i cannot imagine the pain she goes through. I cannot imagine life without her and i thanked her for giving me life. I LOVE MY MUMMY. :)
I truly believe that giving birth is a the most wonderful thing when you think of life.
