reunion dinner with my indian friends

we had our annual chingay watching get-together at my place. for dinner, we had yu sheng, prawn fritters, combination of shellfish, locus (abalone style shellfish), jelly, century egg and ginger, stewed mushrooms with dried scallops, assorted vegetables, fried spring rolls, bbq pork and chicken parts cooked with chinese chestnuts.

as we aged, we are getting more health conscious, more wary of eating too much meat. so, the amount of vegetables easily exceeded the quantity of meat. in the past, we used to have roast duck and braised pork.

i am glad for my indian friends because of they have all raised successful children.

nara has three daughters, two of them are doctors and the third is a lecturer in dentistry.

victor's younger son is also a doctor and his daughter is also in the medical line. his elder son was the top indian psle performer in his cohort. he is now studying for his masters in performing arts in the united kingdom.

balendra has one son who studied law but ended up as a teacher. his other son, who has a master degree in counselling, is working in the institute of mental health.

rama's son is a qualified dentist with his own practice in melbourne. his daughter, also a graduate, is a very good classical dancer. i was invited to her public performance at jubilee hall.

i do not know much about sethi as he does not talk much about his family but i am sure his children are also doing well. all i do know is that he dotes on his grandchild.
