A little update over here.
Everything is booked, the restaurant, the date for wedding, and we will be about 24 (including 4 children, (with my daughter ^^) )
The translator will be the woman who came before for the wedding contract. She said she was very happy to help us once again and the money she asks for the wedding day is 130 € (it is very good in fact, some others asked 200 € !!!!)
I have asked my ex (because of my daughter) if she would come for the wedding day, and she said no.
Things seem to be very good, because in fact, I don't really want her to come. and Liyan is also very happy, in fact ^^
Anyway, my daughter will be there and that is very important to me.
Some very good friends will be there, and some of the family, too.
But "because" I pay everything, I could not ask many many people to come

But well...
I think that sometimes, the quantity is not the quality. Even if, for a wedding day, we'd like to share that day with many people.

Liyan was a bit sad before yesterday. she knows that in one month, she'll get back in China, and as she told me "I know you really love me and I really love you, so I want to come back quickly". I guessed it will be difficult at the airport to not be sad but ... I'll try (as usual) to make her smile and to let her go with a smile on our face.

Yesterday, we talked to one of my neighbours and he said he was back from holidays in... China
So, for the first time, we were invited to have a drink in his apartment and talked about my lovestory with Liyan, and also, about holidays and his holidays in China, too. He spent 3 weeks there with his girlfriend (not a chinese woman), and they were in Beijing, Shanghai, and also, some other places very beautiful.
It was very nice for Liyan to "discover" again some photos from China and to talk about many things, such as famous places, the food and some other things

Actually, I'm at work and Liyan is at home, most of time, she's talking on QQ to her family and can go out in a "little park", walking and having some rest
She's learning french everyday, now some words are very good, some others need to be used more and more, but anyway, I can understand her

in 3 weeks, we will be married. It seems the time is "going" very fast, now....^^

[Sylvain D]

Many thanks, Sujuan and Ted, for sure, wel'll raise some glasses of Champagne in the restaurant, and I'll be thinking of all the Brotherhood

We also wish to celebrate our wedding in China for the Chinese New Year.

It is more special for me to see you Sly finding happiness finally , as we have met in Person in Shanghai . Qing and I will alays remember the time/day we spend together that one day in Sept. '09 . Good Luck and may all be a living dream for you and Liyan .

( thanks for the photo's )

[Martin]

Sept 09?  Was it really a year ago?  It does not feel like it has been that long!

[Arnold]

Yes Martin , it was on my Interview for Qing trip . I met Sly in SH and just missed him in Guangzhou some day's later coming back from Hong Kong .

[Sylvain D]

Yes, we met about one year ago in Shanghaï ^^ (I will always remember that morning spent most of time in the taxi just to go and meet Arnold & Qing..., because of traffic jam... )

Arnold, btw, you're welcome

Sly,

I have just brought myself up to date on your posts. I just wanted to congratulate the two of you and wish you all the best of luck and happiness for the future. In your travel plans, will you be in France at the end of december? I will be in La Roche sur Foron from december 14 to december 30. (My sister is turning 50 and we are having a surprise birthday party for her) I think that Paris is only 4 or 5 hours away from there and I have never been there. I would love to come meet you, or you and Liyan if you are going to be in town.

I will raise a glass to you on september 18th and toast the two of you and wish you a long and happy life together. I am very happy for the two of you.

Bee,
many thanks for your reply
Yes, we will be in France in December, whatever happens.
If you wish to come in Paris to visit, we would be very glad to meet you

A bit some update about Liyan and me.
Actually, Liyan is a bit ill, she caught a cold on last Saturday and is a bit "warm" (temper?) since yesterday night.
Yesterday night, she didn't feel fine, so I gave her some medicine.
Tonight, when I will be back from work, I will see if she feels better or not. If not, then we will go and see a doctor.
I will let you know about it.
I just hope she will feel better asap

[Scottish_Rob]

Sly I don't drink, but on the 18th I will raise a glass just for you 2...Hope Liyan feels better soon buddy

[Sylvain D]

Hi there
Some "short" updates about me & Liyan

3 days remaining, then we will get married ^^'
Liyan feels better, but since one week, I'm not very fine... I don't know how to explain about it, but it seems I got like a "mycosis". Nothing related to food, or washing, but maybe because of "stress", I don't know.
The fact is, I got many "buttons" on my body, whatever it is under my arms, or downside, on the upper legs ...
But well, maybe I'm lucky, nothing on my hands nor than on my face.
I got a treatment for 4 weeks.

Anyway, I just wish I can still be a little bit "handsome" for Liyan for the wedding day, and that my face wouldn't be lighted by sparkling buttons.. (welcome to "Disco"... haha)

Tonight we will go and see for the flowers she will also have in her hands, and another one she'll have in her hairs.
Liyan is very very happy, I can clearly see it everyday when I am back from work

Oh, by the way, we found a place where she can learn french language. About 15 € / year she spent 2 hours there before yesterday, it seems that she likes it, but as we talked about it too, she prefers to go back there when she will come back from China, because she'll leave on the 26 September, up to.... no date fixed for her return but we will check for her flight ASAP.

And for the good news going on, we will move soon in another apartment
My parents helped us to find a bigger one, about 63m² against 32m² actually.
2 rooms, one showing-room, one living-room, one kitchen, and also, when opening the windows, man can see the school and park, behind the town hall. The place seems to be very quiet and also, quite beautiful
We are also waiting for someone to buy the studio, we had a few visits, but nobody wants to buy it at the price we would buy it... so, we will wait a little bit anyway, just in hope to find "the good buyer"

I'll try to give a little update later, and before wedding, anyway

[Martin]

Good to hear everything is going ahead as planned Sly.  I hope this "mycosis" gets better.  Best of luck to you both.
