We got Yelp!-ed

Is this what turning 30 is all about?

Technology illiterate?!

Am I already that kind of mom who doesn't know what my son knows? =P (Good thing he's only 17-mos, but he loves clicking on the mouse and keyboard already!)

I am on Facebook, but not really really on it like most people, and one of my past clients just suggested that I create a Facebook page of my business. It took me so long just to figure out yelp.com and now I have to figure out another website? Is all this technology just too much for someone old like me?! There are a million things I would love to do for my business and I wish I had all the time in the world to do them. I wish I could be online all the time too, like I used to before the baby. But now, all moms would probably agree that we just don't have that kind of time anymore.

But after some nights of yelp!-ing around, we have 5 star reviews!

Re-launching www.anniesiu.com!

Finally it's here! The re-launch of our website - http://www.anniesiu.com/ - with many new features, including a new gallery of our best of the best, the press page, and of course our blog! Unlike all other blogs, our blog will not only be about recent weddings/events, but the real life of being a mom, a wife, AND a business owner. So ENJOY!

This was the best birthday present ever! Thanks so much to http://www.cambridgeomnimedia.com/, whose work I've always admired since 5 years ago when I created my first website. I wanted to keep him a secret, but his work is just phenomenal that I had to give him his well deserved credit!
On a side note, good luck to your wife with the birth of your first baby girl, due tomorrow!

We got our new car!

Finally! We were so tired of our white Pilot that we decided to cancel the lease early and get our new car! This time no more leasing, but financing a top-of-the-line Odessey Touring with automatic trunk, sidedoors, 8-passenger, dvd, navigator AND mp3 player, and not only one disc, but SIX! PLUS, THE BEST PART...it's in my Baltic Blue color!

Of course I'm the type that could wait until the lease is up to change cars, but now I understand why people say when you see the other person happy, you are happy too. I've never seen BA wanting something so bad, especially a mini-van! I've never stepped back far enough to see that if I let go a little sometimes, it would make the other person so happy. But I know that deep down he only wanted the new car for me.

My iPhone

I never thought I would need/want an iPhone. I always believed that a phone should be a phone, a camera should be a camera, and the internet/emails should be left to the computer. That is until my husband secretly bought me an iPhone for our two-year anniversary (11.12.07). I'll admit, I was completely unappreciative of it at first, not thinking that I needed all these new functions. I thought having emails so handy would mean I could never get away from my work, when I was already on my computer enough.

But it turns out I love my iPhone and it’s going to be one of those things I can’t live without, and that’s okay because I am not dependent on it (not yet =P). It’s great to be able to check emails (set at every 15 minutes automatically =P) so that I don’t have to run to my computer and check it all the time. I can be free from sitting in front of my laptop and run errands and never be worried that I’ll miss a client.

Plus, I am addicted to You Tube! You can find all kinds of videos on there, SO easily, and it’s been such a new concept that my husband and I have stayed up past 2AM just watching videos of Raymond Lam, Charmaine Tse, Linda Chung, etc. If it had full episodes of our current Chinese soap opera, then we’d be set, and maybe then, I’d be dependent on my iPhone. =P

So if you don’t have an iphone, your phone is so out…that’s what I tell my husband all the time! =P But once you have it, you can’t go back. I can’t even imagine using my Sony Ericsson anymore. =P

PS. Of course I jinx-ed myself (see last posting). He napped all day that day, but yesterday, was a big struggle. I just won't mention n-a-p-p-i-n-g anymore. =P
