cousin engaged

I got an email from my cousin and there're several engagement photos attached. Time sure flies. I hate repeating it but time really flies. It's been about 5 years since I last met up with him. As if it was only yesterday we quarreled about the stinking fish tank.

That's a long story btw. I was away on vacation so I asked him to take care of my fish. I even wrote out a detailed manual of how to clean the tank, when to feed and how much to feed etc. AND GUESS WHAT. When I came back, the tank was green with moss and one of the fishes, a cute little (unknown speices with eyes like bloated up water sacs) had one eye sacked... Basically I was so angry I ended up firing all my complaints at him, not only the fish tank but also nitty gritty grudges that got accumulated over the period he stayed at our house. He moved back to his dorm right after that and vowed never to return again. Well, he did return, after about 2 or 3 weeks of cold war during which I refused to apologize even though my parents made an effort to make me visit his dorm and hope I'd say something nice. He was just as obstinate as me and instead of hitting the target, we talked about how the cockroach which got trapped under his mug was gonna die pretty fast...
'Just now a cockroach was crawling on the table so I trapped it with that drinking mug.'
'So it's gonna die from suffocation.'
'Yeah.'
That's about the only conversation we managed.

Then he went to Singapore for his B.A. After a year I went there as well for my high school. But he left again for England for his master degree in law right after I got there. We were out of touch for some time. Except I know he adopts Chirstianity and he met his taiwanese girlfriend at a subway station. How romantic. Now they're engaged... I do wonder where life leads... anyway wish them happiness and hopefully I can attend their wedding next year^^
