Feasting and catching up

On Sat afternoon, I visited Joan's place and had fun making my own popiah, laughing how it turned out.

Joan and her parents are experts in making tight popiah that doesn't have the fillings falling out and juice dripping like mine. Each of us only managed to down 3 yummy popiahs. Uncle made refreshing lime and honey drink.

We then watched a documentary film, Born into Brothel about children of prostitutes in the slums of Calcutta. A Caucasian photography lady first got to know the prostitutes and later their children and tried to teach them photography and educate them about life. The children (mostly girls and 2 boys) are mature in their thinking and captured interesting perspectives of their life and surroundings through their film cameras. Their Auntie Zanna tried to get them out of future prostitution, drug addiction, etc by trying to find them boarding schools but it was not easy.

After the movie, Joan heated up the brownie that she made earlier in the week. It was yummy and we had it with warm chinese tea.


In between all these stuffing and catching up, Joan's dog, Harry also received some attention from me. Too bad I didn't take any photos of him.
