My daughter just got married :-)
albert yian
Dear friends,
Sorry for the delay to show you my daughter's wedding pictures.
My daughter Rebecca got married last Sat. (5/21). It's a small wedding at a local
Japanese garden, Hakone Garden.
My daughter and her fiance Chris planned the wedding so I did not have
the chance to invite my friends. All the guests were almost all relatives from
both sides ( our side only has several relatives from L.A.). My daughter and her
fiance tried to cut the cost so they almost only invited relatives.
Her husband is still a graduate student at the medical school so my daughter
and her husband will move to east coast after their mini honeymoon. They met at
UC San Diego while they were students. Chris was older and with major of human
biology at UC San Diego.
My daughter has been working for a medical doctor after she graduated from
UC San Diego's Biology major 2 years ago. My daughter will need to find a job
later to help her new family.
Her husband is a 4th generation Japanese American. But my daughter's mother-in-law
is from Taiwan about 50+ years old. We can communicate in Mandarin easily.
Rebecca's husband can speak some Mandarin due to her mother and grand mother's
teaching of Chinese.
May God bless you all.

| Albert, I am so happy for you. Rebecca is your only daughter , I am sure you have mixed feelings for the wedding. In one hand, you feel happy for her but in the other hand, you would rather she is not going to be far away... I really like Rebecca since I met her. She is very sweet, cute and considerate (like her father). Congratulate!!! Tao --- On Thu, 5/26/11, albert yian <alyi...@yahoo.com> wrote: |

Dear Albert:
Congratulations to you and Rebecca. It is a wonderful news.
I still remember the time you took me to the Stanford Univ 13 or 14 years ago, Rebecca came with us. She was so cute then, I bet she is a grown, sweet girl now.
Life now enters a new stage. Whatever it is, learn to enjoy it.
As for my elder son, it may be several years before marriage. But I can wait.

Hi Albert:
Thank you for sharing your happiness and your daughter's wedding pictures.
Rebecca is sweet and beautiful. She came to our classmate reunions to prepare the healthy potluck dishes and took the pictures for us. I am sure that you and your wife will miss her. So will we.
Congratulations from my family!

Thank you very much for your congratulations.
Yes, you came here with another Tsing Hua alumnus ( aprofessor at Chung Hsing
university) for some international conference in 1998 when our classmate Shiuh Chao
was a visiting scholar at Stanford university. We had a great classmate reunion at a
BIG park (Vasona park) then.
Yes, we need to be thankful at our ages for God's blessings.
We are blessed by having good families, good classmates, good
friends, good children and good grand children (for Wan and Weiheng, Tao and
Pei according to my knowledge). Having good health is also very important.
Thank you again.

Yes, she came to our classmate reunion few times and really enjoyed the great
reunion party. She was very happy to talk to our classmates and next generation
kids ( Wan and Weiheng's kids, C.K.'s kids, your kids...etc). She also played Poker
game with those kids in 2006 when we had 30 years graduation anniversary at C.K.'s

You and your wife Eugenia (Phys 78) came to our home in 2001.
Time flies. It has been 10 years. Your daughter just entered UC Berkeley then.
Your son also came to San Francisco area for study.
Surely they had graduated and are working now.
They probably also got married and having good families now.

Thank you for your reply and good advices.
Yes, "As this age like us, it is the best happiness to play with grandchildren."
We like to play with grandchildren soon but they are buys now so they plan to have
kids few years later.
My daughter is still 22 years old and her husband is 24 years old.
They love to have children but not now.
We only have 1 child so my daughter one time told me that she would like to have
4 or 5 kids. My daughter felt very LONELY when she grew up. :-)
Thank you again.

Thank you for your reply and nice offering to help my daughter and her husband.
Yes, they may not be too far away from your home and Pei-Yu's home in D.C.
Her husband will practice at the 3 hospitals in Pittsburgh for 2 years. My daughter
will try to find some job to work at hospital.
Pittsburgh is close to Philadelphia too, right ?
Maybe they will have chance to visit Wan and Wei-Heng also.
Thank you very much.

Unfortunately Pittsburgh is not close to Philadelphia, at all, and even further from DC. I am not sure how long the drive will be. We will see.
I want to come to SF to see my son. Don't know when, yet.

Albert, Great. Pittsburg is about 5 hours drive from Philadelphia. It is about the same distance (I guess) from DC. Regardless, it is much closer considering it is more than 2000 miles from where you areJ. Meanwhile, University of Pittsburg has a great medical schoolJ. Wan

Thank you for your clear direction about Philadelphia, Pittsburgh and Washington D.C.
Yes, it's much closer than San Francisco to Philadelphia or D.C.
Rebecca's husband just finished 2 years school of medicine so he will start practicing at
hospitals for 2 more years.
I am sure later they will have time to visit your family and Cou-Way's family.
Maybe my wife and I will visit Pittsburgh too after they settle down.
You, Wei-Heng and Cou-Way are welcome to San Francisco/San Jose too. :-)
Please take care.

Hi Albert,
Congratulation. How lovely is the wedding. Your daughter and son-in-law are so blessed. Though I haven’t seen her for many years, but I remember the picture of Rebecca when she was a baby. I also remembered a story that you told about a situation when San Francisco earth quake occurred. A book shelf fell not far away from baby Rebecca. It must be an angelic protection. During the years of love and care and now she has grown up to be a lovely lady. This is the familiar tune that we always dreamed singing when we were young.
"Is this the little girl I carried?
Is this the little boy at play?
I don't remember growing older --
When did they?
When did she get to be a beauty?
When did he grow to be so tall?
Wasn't it yesterday when they were small?
Sun-rise, sun-set, sun-rise, sun-set, Swiftly flow the days;
Seedlings turn overnight to sun-flow'rs, Blossoming even as we gaze.
Sun-rise, sun-set, sun-rise, sun-set, Swiftly fly the years;
One season following another, Laden with hap-pi-ness...and tears.
Now is the little boy a bridegroom,
Now is the little girl a bride;
Under the canopy I see them, side by side.
Place the gold ring upon her finger,
Drink the sweet wine and break the glass --
Soon the full circle will have come to pass.”
Now we can really sing it loud. As a father-of-bride two years ago, I share your joy and some subtle feeling which is quite described in that song. Anyway, come to visit us when you have time to visit Pittsburg. Drive 5 hours toward south east, and you’ll reach Philadelphia or Washinton DC. Drive 5 hours toward west and you’ll be Dayton, OH. Either way, you’ll be joined with friends. Hope to see you soon.
May the grace of the Lord be always upon this lovely couple, and your family.

Thank you for your reply and congratulation to us.
Even we have met for almost 20 years ( you came to bay area
about 20 years ago and we had a Phys 76 dinner gathering), you still
remember well what I told you then.
Yes, during the 1989 big earthquake in San Francisco/San Jose area,
my daughter ( about 8 months old) was taken care by an old Taiwanese lady while
my wife and I worked. This old lady told me " Your baby daughter had a
great fortune. A big bookshelf fell down during the big earth quake on the bed
where your daughter was sleeping. Fallen bookshelf was just about 1 or 2 inches away
from your baby. It was very dangerous." We thank God for HIS blessing or our
baby could be hit seriously by the big bookshelf.
We watched this beautiful " Fiddler on the roof" while we were in Tsing Hua. Later
I watched this movie few times also in U.S. at home. I understood more and more the feeling
of the father when I got older and older.
Although I am happy to see my daughter married a fine Christian young man but it's
still sad to see her away from home. My daughter is one of my best friends. We as parents
have or will experience this kind of complicated feeling. But it's good that our next generation
kids all grown up now and life continue to move on.
When our classmate Shiuh Chao visited Boston few months ago. I had a chance to
contact Hoton How and Ben-Ren Chen on behlaf of Shiuh. Shiuh and I were happy to know
Hoton How's only child, a daughter, was graduating from Harvard university and will enter
medical school this Fall. Actually Huei-Mei and Chien Chiang's daughter entered medical
school last year also.
It seems more next generation kids are choosing medical industry for their career now.
But very suscessful companies like Google, Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin...etc have hired or will
hire more software people so the traditional Electrical Engineering or Computre Science major
is still a good choice. :-)
I have not seen you for about 20 years. But we saw Cou-Way and his family in year 2000.
I have seen Wei-Heng and Wan also few times since year 2003. Maybe my wife and I will
drive to your home to visit you and your wife to catch up for the past 20 years.
May God bless you all.

our daughter's family. We will let Pei-Yu and her husband Tse-Ming (Phys 72)

Hope to see you all in the near future. :-)
It's always my great pleasure to share good emails with Phys 76 and
many others worldwide. I just like to share the good things with many people

California is a "Golden State" for lots of sunshine. You and your family were
