Most of day of this Good Friday holiday was spent with my special friend Crystal! She wanted to be out of home to spend this holiday out instead of being home. But instead of going out, she came over to my place. She arrived in the late afternoon during a heavy downpour. And the moment she stepped into my room, I introduced her to Restaurant City. From then on, she was hooked onto the game. We spent the rest of the day to late night playing that game while watching videos at times too. Even as I am blogging now, she is at home still playing the game at 2:00am in the morning! I will be off to bed shortly. Had to wait a while before sleeping because I was quite full from the rojak I ate with her for supper before driving her home.
With Crystal’s help, I was able to level up my dishes quite fast too. Cause she is willing to add total strangers to her Facebook hence to get more ingredients. But for me, I do not feel like adding total strangers to my profile. But I am now considering doing so just for gaming purpose. Maybe I shall do it tomorrow. Anyway before I go, here is a latest screenshot of my restaurant.
Have a great Easter weekend!
A couple of months ago when I started to play Pet Society on Facebook, I was hooked on it. But the interest of that game did not sustain long for me. For a few reasons I did not enjoy Pet Society. Erm okay let me list down a few reasons.
- Money that can be earn per day is so limited to the number of friends you have playing the game.
- Since money hard to earn, furniture and decorations are harder to afford too.
- Very mundane too. Kind of no objective in that game besides to decorate the room.
- It feels very “single-player” playing that game. And single-player games nowadays in this age, cannot last long.
- Worst of all, it takes a lot of RAM memory when I load that game ultimately lagging my FireFox.
Yes initially was fun since it was cute. But slowly it got boring. I have friends who even used game cheat to earn from estimate 6,000 paw points to 600,000 paw points. “What the hell right!?” People work so hard to earn up to 30,000 points and cheaters simply cheat to overtake. Ridiculous! Anyway here is a screenshot of my latest Pet Society.
Then not too long ago PlayFish that created Pet Society created a new game – Restaurant City. Introduced to me by my younger cousin Pristina. When I started the game, I was on the phone with her for over an hour to chat about it. Then just like Pet Society when I initially started, I am now hooked to the game. At least after running the game tips from PlayFish forum, I am able to quickly pick up some tips in playing the game. The feeling I have for the game is kind of similar to Pet Society. Though probably not as hard to play as Pet Society. When I mean “hard” I mean those points above. Though I have very little friends who added that application in Facebook. Thankfully the RAM memory usage is not as high compared to Pet Society. And another plus point is that I can continue to earn money in the game while the game is not loaded, unlike Pet Society that cannot. Here is a screenshot of my Restaurant City.
Well I shall just enjoy the game for as long as it can sustain me. I am heavily multi-tasking with Habbo, Restaurant City and (fluff)Friends. (fluff)Friends are in a period of “Egg Hunting” for Easter holidays. So I am trying to get myself involve in the hunt too. While Habbo is needless to say, I am sure log in when I am online. Just whether am I actually in my room to do trading or not. Hence I can understand my customers’ frustration when trying to get my attention to trade. I have caused myself to lose potential genuine customers too. And on top of all the games, I have my friends to chat with, surfing the Internet for new TV shows, movies, games, applications, etc! Seriously heavily multi-tasking these days. Here is a screenshot of my (fluff)Friends.
Finally I am also playing basketball for almost every day since two weeks ago! Only resting days are the weekends. So my body is seriously sustaining lots of injuries too. I believe it is crying out to me, “PLEASE REST!” “Haha!” But basketball is really fun!
For those who read about Love Busters (Part 1), here is Part 2. Pastor Kong finished up this topic last Saturday at church. For those who have not read about the Part 1 – basically Love Busters are a group of people who destroy marriage (or even in relationships out of marriage I believe). There are altogether 6 kinds of Love Busters. First 3 kinds in details can be found in Part 1 while Part 2 talks about the remaining 3. In summary:
- Selfish Demands
- Disrespectful Judgments
- Angry Outbursts
- Dishonesty
- Annoying Habits
- Independent Behavior
Just wanting to talk briefly about one point here – Dishonesty. Not sure how to link it with a problem I had but it goes like this. Recently I made a new neighbour basketball friend Kah Yan. All started very well until she begin to avoid me during the start of the week. Obviously things were wrong and finally I decided to confront her. Whatever happened, I shall not disclose here. Nonetheless it was nothing serious after all. But the point is that because we were honest to each other, we were able to confront the problem head on and not having to destroy the friendship. Today we are better friends than we were! Being honest is extremely important as what pastor preached. Pastor Kong said…
“Truth has a property of always rising up to the surface. You cannot hide the truth forever. Dishonesty only postpones the truth of the matter.“
I really like those statements. Also I like what my good friend Sarene shared with me this analogy when I shared with his this problem. In her SMS to me, I quote directly…
“friendship is just like a bus journey.there will be many ppl sitting with you on the trip.some sit close to you.some far away at some other seats.some alight halfway thru.but only some wil sit with you till e end.“
That I also found very meaningful! I am glad to have friends who stood by me when it matters to let me know I am not alone!
Anyway, full sermon can be found in my Sermons page.
Note: I noticed a lot of my sermon notes that I uploaded to Microsoft SkyDrive is not working as supposed to. I have now shifted all the files to be hosted locally on my website host. So if you are unable to get the files before, you should be able to now. Sorry for not fixing the problem earlier.
“WHAT A GOAL! DAMN YOU GOT THE BE KIDDING ME?!“
When Manchester United conceded the second goal, Gerald told me with confident to have faith that Manchester United will go on and win it. He even did mention, “Watch Macheda burn!” I was like “Who is heck is that?! Forget it we will lose.” Manchester United down by 1 – 2 with 10 minutes remaining. Out of the blue, they scored two in 10 minutes! One by Ronaldo and who is Ferderico Macheda?! Totally unknown and unheard of 17 year old Italian to me! Came on as a substitute and scored the match winning goal on the last minute! And it was a breath-taking sensational goal! So I was totally speechless when Gerald confronted me after the game. Totally lost for words, even he felt so excited that it was as if he scored the goal!
During the interview Federico was asked, “What was the first thing on your mind when you got the ball?” His answer, “Score a goal.” Classic answer! Manchester United instant hero!
“Glory Glory Man United!“
For the month of March saw a new 1st place! And it goes to my good friend Sebrina’s blog. About 10% of my website referring site came from her blog. While last month’s 1st place of my classmate Kok Ping’s blog dropped one position to 2nd. Amazingly Angeline’s blog that slide from 3rd to 8th place in February month, rebounded back up to claim the 3rd position for the month of March. Then the rest are as follows.
Last report I mentioned that January to February months, there was an increase of about 30% viewership to my website. February to March saw an even bigger increase! This is so encouraging! From 1325 unique visitors in February to 2099 unique visitors in March! Excluding those who come back to my website regularly and those who refresh my website. And this despite my blog going down a day for the migration to another web hosting company.
I am not sure if April will see another increase or maybe even a decrease. But still I want to thank all who dropped by my website and enjoys coming back!
