on to barn buddy

i blogged about Farmville previously. after leveling up by continuously farming and harvesting - not to mention taking care of the cows, the horses, the ducks, the rabbits, the goats, the chickens, to name some of them, i finally got bored of the application =P.

surprisingly there are alot of die hard Farmville fans out there. i know one of my aunts is actually farming on FB, lol (unless someone else is hijacking her account to play it, which to me is highly unlikely). some even plan their crop-planting time, making sure they're able to harvest their crops before they spoil. hahahahhahahahaha. i tried to find the Farmville love, but failed to do so. i guess this is because:
- you plant, wait, then harvest. and you repeat the whole cycle.
- you wait for the farm animals to mature, then you reap their produce. then you wait again.
- you wait for the trees to bear fruit, then you wait summore.
- you buy decorations for the farm. it's all about being creative. a for-show thing only.
- you help out at other people's farms. that's all you do. you're not allowed to mess up people's farms or wreck havoc there.

well. did i miss out anything? if i did, is that why i did not manage to get the Farmville love at all? lol.

with Nesh's insistence, i added Barn Buddy. and i find i love it more than Farmville. why?
- you plant, water, add fertilizer, weed, kill bugs, wait, then harvest.
- you get to STEAL from other people's farms! wahahahahahhahah
- if you're really rich, you can purchase a guard dog to catch stealers, or rent a chicken.
- you get to add weeds and bugs to other people's farms just to spite them.
- or you can help out and gain experience points by weeding, watering and bug spraying.

my farm! lol. and my chicken

okay, so that doesn't seem like much either. but i like it more than FV anyway. i think because it has a bit of the evil element - the stealing part. annoying others is what people do best, don't you think? muahahhahaha. i think it's kinda therapeutic, click click clicking away. Significant Other says it's total rubbish, haha. at the moment i'm trying to catch up with my friend Karen's farm. and Nesh's farm. not to forget my bil's farm. it doesn't help that they all have guard dogs on their farm. i still have a long way to go before i get mine. people please accept my BB request! =P~~~~~

the third application i play on FB is Restaurant City, only because this game is totally annoying. i say annoying because:
- the employees are only able to work for a maximum of three hours before fainting dead on the floor in exhaustion.
- you can employ chefs, waiters, cleaners, feed them to replenish your energy, or you can sack them if you feel like it.
- the ingredients are bloody expensive, and you need like 10 of each before you can master a dish to level 10 (3700 for a chilli, chilli kristal kah?)
- not only are they bloody expensive, they're hard to get too. you get a free ingredient each day you visit your restaurant, and when you manage to answer the daily food quiz correctly (what the heck is a tzatziki??? or do you know what humous is made of? i manage to answer them wrong most of the time, grrr).
- you can also get a free ingredient if you're visiting your friend's restaurant for the first time.
- you get to show off your ID skills here. at least in RC, the characters moving around your restaurant isn't as bendul as the characters in The Sims.

i'm not a pro of a player yet at this game. can you believe i'm playing it only for the sport of hunting for ingredients so that i can upgrade all my dishes? hahahahahahaha. it's annoying ok. so far i haven't gotten the final ingredient - rice - that i need to upgrade my Luxurious Chili Con Carne dish to level 10. haiz. and i need for of those. never mind that i purchased 4 chillis from the The Ingredient Market for 3700 each! gila. some of my friends are die hard fans of RC. most of their dishes are upgraded to level 10 already. hee~. but that's just only one dish, i got many many many to goOoOO.

whatever tickles their fancy. as for me, at the moment, Barn Buddy it is. hahaha.
