I Had to Play It!
10 NovPrior to Candy Crush’s layout update on the iPad resulting in me being transported from Toffee Tower, I was actually stuck at Level 713 for awhile. It was yet another tough one to pass.
I was baffled how to get that one jelly which you cannot see in the beginning. Yes, only one jelly and you move on. I then realized it has to do with getting the keys to unlock the candy to get to the jelly. The last few levels in Boneyard Bonanza has a new element: keys to open the locked candies, which at times, are tougher than the Frog element.
Last week, I was in the midst of getting the keys when the girls hollered from upstairs for me to go up for the nightly ritual (the binkie boo act). Priority is priority – so I played the level as I was so close.
“You had to play?” hubby could not understand.
“Had to or want to?” M1 queried too. Well, none candy crusher (hubby and the girls) will never understand the candy obsession but luckily, they left me to do what I had to do.
Did I succeed? Thankfully yes and ritual was done, the night went on trying to tackle more candies. I am now at Level 717.
Did I Blink?
7 NovCandy Crush has been full of surprises. Yesterday, I came home early from office and was busy with some chores. Then when I had a little time, I reached for my iPad to send a fellow candy crusher a life because the prompt came.
So I launched the game on the iPad. To my surprise, Boneyard Bonanza appeared on the iPad and immediately, I was transported from the end of Toffee Tower to Level 716, where I am stuck currently (having played on the laptop on the last few many attempts).
I couldn’t have blinked and missed something for I am pretty sure the setup was not like this the night before when the countdown appeared for Candy Crush Soda. And because I did not touch my iPad in the office the whole day, I was obviously unaware of this new development.
Nonetheless, it doesn’t matter whether I blinked or not, the iPad is back to being useful.
7 Days Left
6 NovCandy Crush had yet another update! This time, Candy Crush Soda has a countdown added to its icon: 7 days left! Ooohh… That’s good. I have been playing it every evening on the laptop at home ever since it was introduced in Facebook.
With it being available on the iPad by next week, looks like I will be having a sweet time again.
It’s An Update?
30 OctCandy Crush released an update for the iPad on Tuesday but it’s a weird one. It announced that the new chapter has Levels 696-710 to play but looking at it, after updating, it’s no different from what I already have on the iPad! I say no different because Toffee Tower is already on my device and I am stuck at Level 699–in the middle of the chapter, the so-called new chapter all this while prior to this new release. So where’s the update?
Strange…
All Aboard!
23 OctI made short work of Choco Rio Grande once the tickets came. This was because Level 515 of Farm Heroes was tough to pass and I had all this energy, so crushing candies was the best activity especially in the cold rainy weather.
Eventually, I did pass Level 515 and am now at Level 517 while for Candy Crush, another set of tickets came for me to go on to Toffee Tower; I am now at Level 699. I have been alternating between devices, using both the iPad and the laptop.
And when on the laptop, as if candies and farm animals are not enough, the curious in me tried King.com’s new game: Candy Crush Soda. Similar to the candy version, this game requires one to pop soda bottles and rescue gummy bears. Quite interesting… Oh dear, will this be another new addiction?

Ah! Finally…
20 OctYou got to believe in yourself regardless of what you face. Last week, I was just lamenting that I was still stuck at Level 677 of Candy Crush when my other fellow candy crushers have managed to pass it. I didn’t believe I could not do the same, after having this feeling that the level has gotten easier.
So I was crushing candies like a maniac over the weekend, in between playing golf like a pro on tour (I played for three consecutive days).
Guess what? I finally crossed Level 677! Yay and double yay. After so long, I finally crossed the dastardly level of all dastardly levels. Tickets have come my way and I am now at the new chapter, Choco Rio Grande.

Why Can’t I Do it?
17 OctI find it incredulous that four friends have managed to overcome Level 677 of Candy Crush and I am still stuck. I noticed since its latest update, the level feels slightly easier; maybe that’s why they have moved on. I should go back to trying because of late, Level 515 of Farm Heroes is so hard!
A Little Bit Unstable
14 OctThe recent October update for Farm Heroes is a little bit unstable. I would be in the midst of harvesting the fruits when the app would just quit unexpectedly. This has happened several times already, wasting a life and a bumper harvest.
I am just wondering if it is due to the fact that I have yet to update my iPad to OS8. I am still holding out on the OS update as I feel the new features does not quite benefit me. Furthermore, I have heard that it can slow down the device especially if the unit is an old one. Now my iPad Mini is the first generation and so far, it’s been fast and I am happy with it. So I don’t want to spoil things. If this is the case, maybe I have to accept the fact that my farm will crash every now and then.
Becoming One of Them
10 OctI used to shake my head and laugh at those Candy Crush addicts who would resort to texting or calling their friends or family for lives/tickets when they run out/need it. Well you know what? I have become one of them now. Not for Candy Crush but for Farm Heroes.
I am resigned to the fact that I am never going to cross Level 677 of Candy Crush so I stay focused on my farm. Two nights ago, I finally passed Level 505 (of Farm Heroes) and had to ask for tickets. My studious M1 has deactivated her Facebook account to focus on her studies, so I cannot be asking her for ticket. With only hubby and Rooney (official pet number one who has an FB account too) to rely on, I am still one ticket short.
In the middle of the night, in desperation, I sent ticket requests to those I know who plays the game and when there was no immediate response, I didn’t know what to do and went to bed feeling incomplete.
The next morning, when there were still no tickets that came my way, I WhatsApp-ed my gym trainer for help. Yes, unbelievable but I did this.
