Stuck on You

27 Jan

Eggnog Emporium of Candy Crush was relatively easy. Within a week, I made short work of it and have gone on to Fudge Fjord, the next chapter, and moved rather fast. But I should have known. The minute I thought I had my mojo back and moving smoothly in my games, it’s useless.

Between the three games that I usually play, I am not sure which one is the toughest! Stuck at Level 170 for Candy Crush Soda, Level 653 for Farm Heroes and Level 789 for Candy Crush.

However after the update last night, Candy Crush Soda was easier and I managed to pass Level 170. So one down, two to go.

I foresee it’s gonna be a while before I progress on for the other two. Super sigh…

The Reluctant Candy Crusher?

22 Jan

The last several weeks, I have been so derailed by Level 758 of Candy Crush, I was quite reluctant to play it. It was so hard to pass this level, I knew I’d just end up frustrating myself. The other games have progressed well, Level 159 for Candy Crush Soda and Level 646 for Farm Heroes,

But on Sunday, whilst waiting for the family to get ready to go out for lunch, I thought I’d give Candy Crush a try. And voila!

Not only I passed it, I even conquered the equally difficult Level 765 and have marched on to the chapter, Eggnog Emporium, now at Level 776. Maybe it’s good to step away for a while, recoup and try again.

Insomniac Maniac

16 Jan

Lately I have been having sleepless nights. Hubby accuses me of my obsession with my games more than anything else. Day and night, I am at it on the iPad or the laptop. But of course, the stubborn me begs to differ and refuses listen to him, therefore the sleepless nights persist.

The fact that I cannot pass Level 130 of Candy Crush Soda for so long is eating my nerves like crazy! Nights when I resist the iPad, I end up reading and it’s two books at one go: an old Nora Roberts title and a new Jennifer Probst’s. The voracious reader in me just can’t read one title, it has to be two. The things I do to myself!

Finally, I managed to cross Level 130. And it was in the office during lunch time. But the success came with a price: I had to use my gold bars, twice, because I was so close yet so far, I couldn’t just waste the sudden breakthrough. I am now at Level 143.

Hopefully, no more being an insomniac maniac from here on.

A Matter of Time

12 Jan

I knew it was bound to happen and a matter of time before I made it pass Level 755 of Candy Crush. The game felt easier to handle. Also, I have progressed on to Level 634 for Farm Heroes and Level 130 for Candy Crush Soda. The mojo is back.

True enough. Within a few shot effortless games several nights ago, I made it! I am now in Chewy Citadel at Level 758.

Are Journals Dead?

8 Jan

It is several days into the new year and every time in the year prior, I would debate whether to get a good old physical journal or diary to document the coming new year. This year hubby ‘decided’ for me and gave me a leather orange diary which he received from TNT, our business partner. And like every year, I would contemplate should I use one or not.

Last year, I got myself a small little Moleskine diary which sadly, I used only to keep a record of all my passwords for things that require remembering passwords. Frankly, between the Calendar, Notes and Reminder apps in my iPhone5S and iPad Mini plus my daily blogs, there is no more need for a journal. Accessing and documenting information is always at my fingertip with hardly a stretch of my hands to my ever close-by devices. The diary however, has become an obsolete object or relic of sorts, because it is always in the handbag, office bag or at home, untouched.

But the orange TNT diary is rather beautiful looking. Maybe I will transfer all my passwords from the Moleskine to the new TNT diary. After all, I did the same the year before, transferring all these information from an earlier diary to the beautiful Moleskine.

A Good Start

1 Jan

Although I was ready to start my Nora Roberts’ novel, the obsession with my games was, well, an obsession. The last two days in the office, I was alternating between popping soda bottles and rescuing bears, crushing candies and harvesting crops in between working on a few projects due in January. I persevered if you may (for my games rather than work), hoping there will be a positive outcome into the new year.

As you know, I have been agonizing over my lack of progress especially for Candy Crush but was determined to beat it. Thank goodness for my persistence because I was finally rewarded for all the games! In Farm Heroes, I progressed to Level 623 and Candy Crush Soda, to Level 112. As for Candy Crush, the one game that I feared I would be stuck forever coming into the new year, not only I finally conquered Level 751 (Woohoo!!!) and came out tops , I moved on to Level 755 and on the verge of embarking in the new chapter!

A good start to kick off the year as I sense a better 2015 ahead. Happy New Year!

Back to Reading, Part 2

30 Dec

With the frustration of being stuck at Level 751 for Candy Crush, maybe I should go back to reading to regain some sense of calm and rid myself of all these frustration and despair. To make matters worse, both levels of Farm Heroes and Candy Crush Saga that I am currently at are no piece of cake either! Hrmph… is all I can say.

So it is a good thing I have gotten the latest Nora Roberts’ title, Whiskey Beach – I shall immerse myself in this book to clear my mind as I don’t fancy ushering in the New Year with all these negative feelings.

Back to reading it shall be for me!

Mixed Feelings

29 Dec

This year’s Christmas is a rather long break for us. Hubby and I opted to close the office on Boxing Day too as things are rather slow. With a four and a half day break, all we do is eat and make merry.

We managed to sneak in a golf game to reduce the guilt of eating too much. Other than this, it’s just vegetating on the couch and not much else because weather has been crappy, raining all the time, staying home was a much better option than being out. But of course there’s the candy crushing, farm crop harvesting and soda popping, all couch potato activity.

On the game front, Farm Heroes has progressed on to Level 619 and Candy Crush Soda at Level 105. Even my Zookeeper Battle, I have surpassed my 7000th battle. But Candy Crush remains status quo. I have not moved at all from Level 751 and this is creating a lot of mixed feelings in me. Agony, frustration, annoyance… Sigh.

Aarrgghhhh…

My ‘best’ attempt had 44 candies left, hardly qualifying as ‘best’ I think. Am I losing my candy crushing ability, I wonder? I just hope I don’t usher in the new year still sitting Level 751 for my Candy Crush. Double sigh…

Not Much Progress

26 Dec

With the holiday season around, I have not been playing my games much, not even golf. As far as my virtual games are concerned, I feel as though I have been stuck forever at Level 751 of Candy Crush! It is just so hard. Maybe I should go watch some YouTube posts on it for ideas. Although the other games are just as difficult, I managed to move on: am now at Level 614 in Farm Heroes and Level 101 for Candy Crush Saga.

I wonder if I can overcome 751 before the year ends?

Remember These Numbers

16 Dec

It’s a known fact that I play only four games on my iPad: Candy Crush, Farm Heroes, Candy Crush Soda and Zookeeper Battle. Now remember these levels for all mentioned except Zookeeper, they are just so darn hard to pass – Level 751, Level 597 and Level 90 respectively.

Many times I wonder why I subject myself to such unnecessary stress and emotional turmoil especially when the games become so intense and always at that so near yet so far moments. Sigh…
