Waiting Sucks

I was so looking forward to Sunday 26th June.

Why?


Last season I bought each episode from iTunes the morning after it showed on pay TV here in Oz. Which was very soon after it aired in the States. So all was good. Each week I got my fix and stayed up to date with True Blood related gossip on the interwebs.

Monday morning I checked iTunes. Nothing.

Tuesday I checked the Aussie pay TV program for signs of Season 4. Nothing.

Wednesday I posted a question to the True Blood page on Facebook. Someone replied telling me she had downloaded the episode (I assume illegally) because she couldn't wait. More power to her. I don't know where to go to download it illegally. I'm that lame :(

Today it's Thursday, and still no sign of True Blood Season 4 Episode 1. Boo :(

In happier news, can't wait for July 17th! It's my hubby's 40th and we have tickets to see...


Yay! If I can't have my vampires, then at least I can have my wizards :)

Sometimes I suck, but sometimes it's blogger's fault

You may be thinking that I've been a bit slack on the blogging front lately. Not many posts. Not many comments left on the blogs that I follow.

Well it's true. Sometimes I suck. I get lazy and don't take the time to blog.

But the commenting thing. Sometimes that's Blogger's fault. Sometimes I get stuck on your comment form on an endless loop that keeps asking me to sign in to my Google account. I bet that happens to some of you guys too.

I'm still visiting and reading your blogs.

And when inspiration strikes, I'll be sure to write it here.

My heart

Now that's what I'm talking about!

Winter sunshine and family. A weekend in the country. Fresh air and food and wine and the most beautiful country house in the world.

My heart is full!


This photo makes my heart smile. My two beautiful children, my brother's three beautiful children and my sister's three beautiful children. All is right in the world.



It was brilliant for Josh to have a weekend of unstructured time to just play!



Alana and the bigger girls got all artistic and created a fantastic picture of the farm.


Am I not the luckiest Aunty in the world? Feeling the love :)


HTC incredible S... blending into my life, *Warning* - read AFTER meals.


HTC Incredible S has slowly blend into my life... especially when I'm traveling from one place to another. The build in function FM radio keeps me updated with the latest news, music records from our local radio stations...


CLASS 95... my preset channel. I can be quite a boring chap, sometimes tuning into News Radio 93.8fm too. Haha. (I'm serious)


Apart from plucking in those ear phones, with the bookmarks widget, I'm able to surf my favourite websites easily on the go!


Another widget available for me to browse easily, emails. Synchronizing all my mails from gmail, hotmail, everything at one go. Sometimes, I really want to take a nap on bus, but HTC Incredible S has simply too many stuff for me to explore ! Really get my fingers busy all day!


Nowadays, I don't bring my digicam around. With HTC Incredible S, 8 megapixels shot, I can just easily slot the sleek phone into my jeans. It's damn convenient! Well, it makes no different from the digicam I'm using. Look at the 8 colorful xiao long baos, drooling now? Save it, cause more food pictures captured by HTC Incredible S coming up!


18 June 2011:
Taken at Orchard Ion, Paradise Dynasty, 乐天皇朝. The signature xiao long baos cost $13++ .
Ranging from Ginseng, Cheese, Garlic, Original, Spicy, and many more. Worth the try... =) But original is always the safest choice.


Seafood La Mian. $15++ Fresh prawns, scallops, crap meat. And best thing was the noodles, man-made, instead of machine. Trust me, you can taste the different. Thumbs up!


Cold Tofu with Century Egg. A simple dish, but the combination of Century Eggs and Cold Tofu brings wonder.


25 Jun 2011:
Checked out this place at King Louise Grill & Bar, Vivocity, located beside Daiso. Food was not bad, abit costly though. Saw some negative reviews online, well, perhaps there was some change of management. Personally I felt not as bad as it was reflected. Well, if you are going down with a group of guys, don't order the banquet (comes in King's and Queens Banquet). Looking at the picture above, I'm sure it will not satisfy your cravings. Can't exactly remember the price though, but if I'm not wrong was more than $60 for the banquet set. As for the taste, will give it 3.5 stars out of 5. Freshness is there, especially the cheese prawns and fillet.


Well, some of us was quite hungry and ordered steak and ribs too. Ribs was good... don't ask me bout the steak, can't take beef!


There's happy hour on Saturday, discounted price for Hoe Garden beer. =)


On the same day, we moved on to Udders at Novena after meal.


Udders serve alcoholic ice cream. So kids who are below 18, I'm sorry! You gotta miss this.


Try going for Lychee Martini and Choya. Not too strong, the taste is quite refreshing though.


Together with Shoel and her kakis checking out good food.

SEVEN


I have worked for SEVEN for a little over 7 and a half years. I think I was the 7th or 8th stylist hired. I've seen the salon grow from one 10 chair salon to two salons. One in Bellevue with 36+ stations, the other in Seattle with 49 stations and company wide 100+ stylists. Out of the many reasons I wanted to work for SEVEN, one stands out in particular...Potential. Even though it had only been open for 9 months when I started, I saw potential for growth and opportunity. What I got was tons of opportunity for growth in many ways I couldn't have even imagined when I started 7+ years ago. As any great business knows, in order to stay in the game and grow you have to reinvent yourself, even in the most minute ways.

With that said, I am happy to announce that we have launched our new website, new packaging and our new logo. The website is very simple in design and very user friendly. There is a well done bio for every stylist, not to mention a black and white picture of every single one of us. Here's one you may recognize...Click.

I've never thought too much about branding until I arrived at SEVEN; however, the hours and the dedication that go into every detail is very admirable. Have a look and check out our new website and logo. Pictures of our revamped product line will be up shortly. www.7salon.com

In the words of our founder... "If you are done growing, you die." A lesson I have taken to heart over the last few years.

Happy Father's day to all the amazing fathers out there! Love you Daddy!

Xoxo,
Jaclyn

The convenience of HTC Incredible S!


Ever since I started endorsing HTC Incredible S phone, many had asked, "So what's so special about this phone? " or " So how is this phone better than XXX phone? "

Well, to be frank, before I started using HTC incredible S, I really knew nuts about this product. But after started exploring, HTC Incredible S is more user-friendly than I actually thought.


Since I have been repeating many times about these 2 functions which I seriously like about HTC phones to my friends, guess I shall share it with my readers out there. Now, HTC incredible S can actually auto-synchronize your friends' information from facebook, twitter, whatsapp and merge EVERYTHING into their profile! This is not an application but this function is inbuilt within the phone!

I don't have to log into my individual apps to find out the information about my friends. Everything is within a touch! I can now just open my friend's profile within a single touch, and decide what actions later. That save so much time!


Well, apart from that, "Friendstream" is another function which's very useful to the social media addicts. With Friendstream, you are now able to view all your friends' status updates in facebook and twitter at one go! In addition to that, you can also update your status once, and it will be broadcasted to both fb and twitter! It's so convenient and saves so much time. Of course, you also have the option to post to either fb or twitter too.

With HTC Incredible S, it's so much convenient now!
