Happy Birthday to Granduncle!!

For once, a light-hearted entry (lol)
You know I usually don't do this much,
but here's a little glimpse into my family anyway.

This post is a little late. Since his birthday was yesterday.

Yep, yep. Yesterday.

New Year Day is a busy day can?

Spent yesterday cleaning up the house, then showered and went to Granduncle's house.
Dad was waiting for us downstairs,
We went down, found him standing outside the car,
and so I conveniently plopped myself at driver's seat (lol)

I didn't even bother to ask, ha ha.

Some time coming to the end of December, I remember writing on my cousin's facebook wall,
whining that I've not seen him for a long time,
and the next thing we know, we saw each other yesterday!!

Ha ha.

So he managed to get out of camp (lol)
I called him on Boxing Day and he told me he had to spend X'Mas in army camp, ha ha ha!!
No life!!!

And my darling little boy was there❤

And I managed to get great shots with my iPhone.I carried him with one arm, and snapped the photo with the other.
The boy is getting heavy, can?

And I managed to get a few sneak shots.You must understand that the big boy dislikes being photographed.

And the photos turned out quite nice, even though I couldn't see what I was taking (lol)

Great expressions of the 2 brothers watching Power Rangers =)

And oh yes, before I continue with the upload of photos,
I gotta mention that soon after snapping photos,
it was time for dinner (since caterer had arrived) and there were many guests who had yet to appear,
so we had to eat first and clear the space for those on their way.
So I got dinner for the big brother, while my dad snapped at me for not getting him his food.

Can't he see the 2 small ones are more important!?
Grr...
So I took my revenge, by giving him all the chili garnish on the noodles, and spammed curry sauce on it.

Anyway, the younger brother was so totally engrossed in watching Power Ranger,
he split his lime juice on himself and had to change out of his clothes.

While I cleaned up the chair he was sitting on, and the floor.

That felt really familiar...

Didn't I just clean the floor in my house 2 hours ago!?!?

Yes, yes, I'm auntie-fied.

Not to mention when his parents went down to buy the birthday cake (we were all wondering where they were, lol)
I shared my dinner with the small boy, who after changing his clothes, continued watching Power Rangers and in no time got totally engrossed in it (lol)

It was the longest meal I ever had in my whole life.
I was just sitting there, feeding him, watching his mouth move and chew the food until I think he swallowed and fed him again,,,

I kinda forgot to feed myself, lol.

Damn, is that a mother in the making? =S

Oh yes, many of granduncle and grandaunt's friends (from the Japanese Buddhist Society) were there, and they were like, "Isn't this the kid that they took care of last time?"

"Yep"

"Aiyo!!! Grow so big already!!"

"Ha ha, yeah."

"Got boyfriend already?"

"No"

Oh please, say they won't start some stupid matchmaking for me.

Yes, apparently, I was quite popular with the aunties (lol)
Auntie-killer much? LOL

The wife was called out from the kitchen (where she had been the whole time round),
and I took another candid shot.

I love this picture really.
It's like symbolic of the wife saying "I'll stand by you through thick or thin",
And certainly, they have been standing by each other all these years.

It's simple actions like this that show love.

And they don't really express love for each other.
If you hear them talk, you'd think they're gonna argue (-.-)

And both of them have a smile on their faces =)
The beauty of their love for each other seems to accentuated in their smiles =)

Or maybe I just think too much

And the youngest grandson being carried by his grandfather.

Happy 71st Birthday, Granduncle!!
