Hooray!

23 Oct

Today the hazy condition improved slightly and schools finally reopened. So M2 is back in school. Miraculously, strong winds did come and blew the haze up north. Hooray for us. But alas! The people in the northern region are now suffering the fate that befell us a few days ago and schools there are closed.

Well hazy or not, my virtual games progressed well. I have finally moved from the super tough Level 804 in Farm Heroes and super duper tough Level 512 in Candy Crush Soda. As for Candy Crush, hooray to say I am crowned champ yet again earlier this week!

Not a Miso or Mushroom Master but a Cosmic Commander of Marmalade Moon. And this morning, to my pleasant surprise, upon my completion of the chapter, Wonky Wonderland, I found myself crowned ‘Pastry Paladin’ for it.

Maybe that was what happened… as I became Cosmic Commander, I commanded a gale of cosmic proportions to blow the haze away while I crushed my way to become a Pastry Paladin. Lame… I know, but I couldn’t help it. Hooray nonetheless…

Ho Hum

16 Oct

I know it’s boring stuff but for the record, Moving Day yielded much progress for my virtual games. I am now at Level 805 for Farm Heroes, Level 512 for Candy Crush Soda, Level 1220 for Candy Crush and Level 595 for Monster Blasters Hexa Blast. With the weekend coming, maybe current positions will change. We shall see…

Back to Back

12 Oct

Just when I thought I couldn’t top my Miso Master effort for my Candy Crush effort in Snack Shack, I am now Mushroom Master for Fungi Forest! Back to back trophies. Yay.

My virtual games have been progressing well. I am sitting at Level 505 for Candy Crush Soda, Level 804 for Farm Heroes and Level 1210 for Candy Crush.

Even my occasional dabble in Monster Blasters Hexa Blast, I am sitting pretty good, at Stage 578.

This week I expect further progress in all games. In other words, work in the office has slowed somewhat until the next project starts.

  

Stuck Again

6 Oct

I am at the tail end of my book project so there has been time to use my iPad. But I find the iPad so slow after the update to OS9! Even with the patch 9.02, it doesn’t help. Sigh…

On the game front, things are slow figuratively and literally. I am on a tag team mode to play because rescuing honey bears over bottle caps is not as easy as I thought. So upon finishing the five lives on the laptop, I move on to work on the farm and the other candy game before almost reluctantly reaching over for the iPad when all lives are used up.

For the record, I am stuck at Level 495 for Soda, stuck at Level 800 for Farm Heroes and stuck at Level 1198 for Saga. On a brighter note, I was crowned Miso Master for Snack Shack, the previous episode in Candy Crush.

A consolation, Miso Master

Was It Pity?

24 Sep

I was stuck at Level 795 of Farm Heroes for the longest time because the challenge was so ridiculously tough. Even with the aid of Airdrop, I could not gather enough water drops to pass the level. So I was on a ‘tag-team’ mode, alternating between my usual three games, Farm Heroes and the two candy games, to pass time.

But on Tuesday morning a strange thing occurred. After a round at the Farm, I noticed the requirements had lessened! Instead of 250 water drops, it changed to only 75! On top of that, the other elements also reduced, from 230 to 150!

Huh?! Why didn’t they have it like this sooner? Was this change a show of pity for me to enable my going through? Well, I am certainly not complaining for after just one round, I finally crossed Level 795. Yay.

Something Strange

24 Aug

Level 784 of Farm Heroes was tough because the challenge had 4 bulls on the board and you have to collect 175 green apples and 175 water drops, on top of getting 8 clams and bringing the 3 sheep over to the hay. Without a lot of moves, it was tough and I couldn’t pass it for days.

Then something strange happened. It was Wednesday night when I launched the game. The playing field changed and not what I had googled up to get an idea how to beat the level. Instead of 4 bulls on the board, there were only two and the 175 each for the green apples and water drops was reduced to 100 each! Weird. The sheep and the clam numbers remain. Because of the change in requirement, suddenly the playing field eased up.

Needless to say, I succeeded after two attempts and obtaining three stars along the way.

The Laptop’s Back

20 Aug

I collected my laptop last night. With the change of the topcase to fix the ON/OFF problem, my MacBook Air now is semi-new. New on the surface but on the inside, I am still faced with having only 3 odd gig of space in the 120GB unit. I seriously don’t know what I have in it to take up so much space.

A quick check on its storage shows that I have 60GB of OTHER in my MacBook Air. What the heck is OTHER? I have to figure it out.

Anyway, the Candy Crush chapter, Raspberry Races opened for the iPad at the same time when the laptop came back, so there’s no real need to use the laptop, maybe except to collect my daily beans for Farm Heroes. But then again, it’s nice to have it back.

Feeling Incomplete

13 Aug

Although I hardly use my laptop for work, I feel incomplete. Every morning when I have my coffee, I would launch my laptop to read the news, go into Farm Heroes especially to collect my daily awarded beans (something I can’t do on the iPad) and play Level 1101 of Candy Crush because the game has yet to update for the iPad. Now I can’t do any of these because my laptop is not back yet.

A friend sympathized with me and reasoned that if my laptop went in to be resurrected, it should just take three days. I am not convinced. It definitely isn’t a situation of biblical proportions; furthermore, it went in on a Sunday and not a Friday, you know what I mean?

Thank goodness Candy Crush Soda updated for the iPad by Tuesday night, so I had my candy fix back. But still, I feel agitated and incomplete. By Wednesday night, Candy Crush finally updated for the iPad but I have been stuck at Level 1101 for sometime now, feeling incomplete suddenly becomes inept! I can play yet I can’t play. Aargh…

Anyway, Apple did not call on Wednesday but emailed a quotation over for the repair cost. I almost fell off my chair! It will cost a third of a brand new MacBook Air if I went ahead with the repair. This is the first time one of my Apple devices is causing so much grieve.

Now, on top of feeling incomplete (and inept) I am upset too. Hrmph. 

Not Fun Anymore

3 Aug

It certainly is not fun anymore when I find myself still stuck at Level 776 of Farm Heroes and caught in a time freeze at Level 1085 of Cloudberry Creek in Candy Crush on my iPad. I have actually gone passed the next chapter, Bubblegum Hut and started the subsequent chapter Pastry Palace (Level 1101) in Facebook on the laptop. 

I suspect even with an update, usually one chapter at a time, I may not be able to play on my iPad because I am two chapters ahead of Cloudberry! Too fast for my own good.

To add to the aggravation, I can’t go forth beyond Level 450 for Candy Crush Soda on both my iPad and laptop.

Hrmph. Better to go back to reading Genghis Khan.

Oh No! Stuck Again

28 Jul

For the first time, my progress for my two games, Candy Crush and Candy Crush Soda, have been halted on the iPad. I have reached the end of both games and no further chapters have appeared yet. 

So I play Candy Crush on the laptop in Facebook (at Level 1082 now). As for Soda in Facebook on the laptop, the game appears to stop at Level 435 but I discovered otherwise. The new chapter automatically opened up the minute I completed the level. Phew.

Nonetheless, what do I do if faced with such a moment?

I play Hexa Blast Monster Busters! Only because I can’t get pass Level 776 for my Farm Heroes and I’ve lost the will to battle being a zookeeper if I don’t fancy rescuing Honey Bears or gobbling up candies.
