Just the other day, I got an email out of the blue, from my cousin who I haven’t heard from for absolutely ages. He said he was planning his annual holiday and would be passing through my city on his trip and could we meet up. I was over the moon, I mean, he’s someone I get on really well with, but since he moved abroad to study for university, we just lost touch. When I was young, he lived next to my house and we always went to the park in the vicinity every afternoon to play badminton. He is the one who teach me how to play it. It turns out he’s married now, with a kid, and he wanted me to meet the whole family. I was thrilled to bits, and was really curious about meeting his wife and child. The only hitch was the dates he was proposing, as luck would have it, they clashed with a summer trip I had with my family. Luckily, he was letting me know in advance, so I just got back to him and suggested he came a few days later. We sorted that out without too much hassle, and now they are coming for a full weekend. To be honest, I can’t wait. I am really looking forward to meeting them all. My family have decided we will invite them round to our place for a bite to eat one evening, and then take them to around the city the next day to let them see the changes of HCM city. You know, he has gone abroad a long time. So that’s the piece of news I recently had and it makes me really happy.
