Overcoming Hard Levels

3 Dec

Sometimes when I am stuck at my games and cannot figure out how to go pass that level, especially the two candy games, I would go to YouTube to see what or how others have done to tackle the challenge. Recently, Candy Crush added a ‘Hard Level’ mention and Soda added a skull icon to levels that are really hard.

Maybe to preempt or remind one that it will be tough? In one way, it helps because I now know that it will be hard and I won’t feel so aggravated. Then again with the skull, it’s as if it’s telling you, you’re gonna die trying, bwahahaha!

Mean, isn’t it? When all attempts fail, either I YouTube for help or stay away from the games for a few days.

I was stuck for the longest time at Level 813 for Farm Heroes, Level 516 for Soda and Level 1242 for Saga but thanks to YouTube, I became unstuck and have progressed on. But now I find myself stuck again at Level 829 for Farm Heroes, Level for 563 for Soda and 1313 for Saga. Never-ending woes…

A New Fascination

19 Nov

I have to put on record that I actually follow the UK X Factor show. For someone who doesn’t even watch tv at home, this is quite a feat. I don’t know why but lately I find myself mesmerised by this year’s contestants and their performances on YouTube.

The contestants are amazing. They may be amateurs but they are so good and I just cannot get bored listening to them over and over again. This coming weekend will be Week 4 of Live Shows and it is down to seven candidates.

So nerve wrecking to see who goes through to the next round. Can’t wait!

The Working Life

5 Jan

Soon after her exams were over, M1, together with her cousin, came to work for hubby and I at the office. Although workload has been quite easy, I managed to find things to keep them occupied.

The family insisted we assign them things to learn or keep them busy to understand the hardship of real work; even if it means cleaning the store room.

It’s been over a month already that the both of them worked for me and cleaned the store room they did. However the timing of their employment, being the year end, I have to plan their time well as a lot of projects are either completed or pushed to the new year. I shouldn’t allow the both of them to just twiddle their thumbs in the office, painting a false picture of the work environment. Nor can I have them surfing the internet, on YouTube or whatever, doing unproductive computer activity. Both are, after all, on the payroll by the hour.

So cleaning the store room was apt.

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?
