Quality Family Time in the Day... War at Night... and Oh. Birthdays too~

October is bankrupt-month for me, due to so many family members celebrating their birthdays within such a short span of time. So we decided to celebrate it all in one go, by spending the day out with the family having a lunch buffet at Sakura's (sushi!!!), relaxing at Changi Beach, before the day built up to a climax at Kak Husna's Pasir Ris house at night... where the family was divided by war... amidst the pizzas and other goodies served, there was bad blood to be had, as family members took sides for the crunch football match between Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur...!!
!
On the Arsenal side, there's my dad, eldest bro Beg Fan, and BIL Abang Hisyam...
Waving the flag for the Spurs were my 2nd bro Beg Mal, and Kak Syai's husband Abang Herman...

Of course, me being the lone Manchester United fan in the family, I was decidedly neutral...

...and if any of them tried to claim bagging rights, I just shut them up by showing them the golden patch on my jersey sleeves indicating that WE ARE THE REIGNING CHAMPIONS, as opposed to the rest of the league, who merely sport a silver patch... Heh.

Anyway, a very HAPPY BIRTHDAY to the following family members!!!

29th October - Ibu (Mother)

30th October - Arwah Atok (late grandfather) =(
