A Very Good Day!

3 Mar

I must admit in between the precious moments with M1 before she leaves, I have been at my games as well. I have made much progress for Candy Crush, Farm Heroes and Candy Crush Soda, at Level 844, Level 701 and Level 223 respectively.

I was stuck at both the candy games for sometime but today proved to be a good day; I finally succeeded for Candy Crush and waiting for tickets now to move on to the next chapter and also for Candy Crush Soda, at Level 225 now.

But the day got even better as we went to school to get M1’s SPM results, released today after the three month wait. I am one proud mama to say that she scored straight ‘A’s for the ten subjects she took! It was tears of joy as I hugged my baby.

A very good and happy day.

What! No Wifi?!

23 Feb

The few days we were back in hubby’s hometown was good and tough. Good because we got a chance to see all the elders and hubby’s cousins with their young families, enjoy his aunty’s mouth watering home cooked food and basically have a good time away from the office. The children also had the opportunity to bond with their cousins too.

The tough part was having almost no wifi, hence no connectivity. All of us had our devices but only two phones had data plan, so we were forced to practice limited usage and just learn to live life without internet. It was indeed tough.

Luckily my games could be played offline and I progressed on to Level 829 for Candy Crush, Level 678 for Farm Heroes and Level 208 for Candy Crush Soda during my time there. Otherwise, I think I would rake up my data plan bill!

Thank goodness we are back home (by Saturday) and connected (to the internet) again.

Fruitful Weekend

16 Feb

I feel as though I should give myself a pat on the shoulder for accomplishing quite a bit over the weekend. It wasn’t the big battle with the Chinese New Year crowd that I thought I’d have to do but my games!

The pat on the shoulder was for me finally crossing Level 185 of Candy Crush Soda, which was so difficult and also Level 821 of Candy Crush, which was even more difficult. I have been stuck at these two for sometime and perseverance finally paid off.

Honestly, I also managed to complete my Chinese New Year purchases without stressing too much. The secret? Online shopping! The bulk of the necessary was made easy with Tesco’s online services. With free delivery for this festive occasion, I totally took advantage of it and saved the hassle of going to the mall and fight with the last minute shoppers.

I am ready to usher in the Year of the Goat come Thursday.

If I Had Known Earlier

9 Feb

I couldn’t stand the fact that I have progressed for Candy Crush but not Farm Heroes. It was most annoying. So I decided to google up on some cheats (farmheroescheats.com) to pass Level 653.

The strategy was to work on the bottom level so that the top cascades down to open up the clams without wasting any moves. I tried this tactic and after several tries, I finally succeeded! Yay.

If I had known earlier, I should have done this a long time ago instead of allowing this aggravation to last this long.

Maybe I should do the same (look up some cheats) with Candy Crush Soda for Level 185? Hmm…

Not Stuck on You

5 Feb

Candy Crush has been relatively easy. I completed Caramel Clearing rather quickly, the chapter after Fudge Fjord and have gone on to the next one, Candy Calaboose.

However, the same (ease) cannot be said for the other two games. I have been stucked at Level 653 for my Farm Heroes and Level 185 for Candy Crush Soda for a while now. Hopefully I can make some progress before the Lunar New Year comes around.

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.
