Two Dots Levels 243 - 260

I've completed Two Dots Level 260 yesterday! Woo hoo! I've also started posting videos of my gameplay on Youtube 

My recap on the levels is as follows:

Level 243: Tough but not as bad as 242. Key is to get rid of the purple Monster as well as using squares to get your blue, green and yellow dots

Level 244: Get rid of some of the blue Monsters so that you can get some yellow dots. I realise the best is to have a long line of blue dots and then end with a square while being connected to the blue Monster. That is the most effective as you simultaneously get rid of all the blue dots as well as reduce the number of dots required to kill this particular blue Monster

Level 245/248/251/253/254/255: I didn't intentionally get rid of the Monsters but it irritated me by eating up my anchors thus its best to get rid of them if you can

Level 246: I got rid of the blue Monsters once I got blue sufficient dots.. for the rest of the Monsters it can be bad if it eats up your anchors!

Level 247/249/250/259: Aim is to clear the blocks using squares and then eventually you have to kill the Monsters although they can be useful in helping you create the squares... 

Level 252/257: I got rid of the Monsters once I got sufficient dots!

Level 256: This was tough as the fire dots came back and there was a blue Monster. I used the blue Monster to kill some of the fire dots and concentrated on making squares to get rid of the blocks. 

Level 258: If you use a crate and end up with the teardrop which is supposed to make all the dots the same colour, you will end up wasting one crate as no dots will change its colour as its still behind the blocks. Again, kill the Monsters although at the start they can be quite helpful in you being able to make squares!

Level 260: Similar to 256 except that they gave you a green and light blue Monster with fire dots, blocks and ice and you are supposed to fulfil yellow and dark blue dots plus crack the ice. This was a tough stage as well and I tried to clear one side first and then again many squares with the help of the Monsters and then kill them so that you can get your yellow and blue dots.

LKY means a lot of things to different people but to me, he represented what a true leader should be. He wasn't a manager but a leader who inspires even the most ordinary man on the street. He has returned to God and his beloved wife but he will be dearly missed by us. RIP, LKY

Two Dots Level 242

I finally cleared Two Dots level 242 without using any crates or power ups. Just good old fashioned squares! It's best not to remove the monster as this means less dots and just work on clearing the dots via squares. The tough part is the blue dots and not the green ones. Now Level 243 seems worst... Back to work!

Ink

I've been using ink for a while... it was the next step after pencils and I must say I kinda like it although I'm still far from being good. My art teacher says that I tend to be more design and decorative and not fine arts.. which I agree since she's from fine arts and I think I'm still bad at all the shadows and different shades etc. I do think that ink is brilliant for getting me to shade better though and I'm looking forward to using charcoal next! :)

Two Dots

I've been stuck at Level 242 for a few days and it is pissing me off! This game is taking up so much of my time but my competitive nature is not letting me rest until I complete all the levels. The graphics are awesome but it's getting so difficult and if not because of the regular updates with new levels, I won't be playing this game at all! I've also started posting videos of my gameplay on Youtube

Besides Momster Pet Shop which ACCICB and I were horribly addicted to, this is by far the only other game I've been playing for months! Unfortunately, ACCICB feels this game too difficult so I've to solve this on my own! He calls me a nerd for playing this but hey this is coming from a geek so who cares!

My art teacher will be seriously upset if she knew this is what is preventing me from practicing! I need to go cold turkey on this one and who knows maybe they'll recalibrate the level easier and I'll finally pass! *Fingers crossed*

From flab to fab!

I seriously have to transform myself from flab to fab especially when I read this news about this model looking awesome despite pregnant. Funnily when I showed ACCICB the photos, his first reaction was not how hot she looked but whether it's right that her belly is so small as compared to other pregnant women. I was thinking maybe it's because she has been hitting the gym all the way even while she was pregnant which is why her belly is so small. 

Now I feel awful about myself as I've gained way too much weight over the years but the good thing is that now I can finally go to the gym as often as I wish! I just did my 1st workout on Monday and I'm going again tomorrow! Now that I've gotten myself back into exercise mode, I am usually way more cautious when it comes to food choices. I guess I mentally curse myself when I'm exercising so the need to prohibit myself from junk becomes reinforced easily! 

I hope that in no time at all, I can lose some weight and be able to wear all my old clothes again and maybe even buy some new ones to celebrate! 

Savee Sea Sauvignon Blanc 2013

I had this Savee Sea Sauvignon Blanc 2013 last night and wow it's much better than the Cloudy Bay Sauvignon Blanc I had many years ago. The latter gave me rashes and ACCICB had heart palpitations but maybe now it's better but I'm so not going to try! 

I forgot to take a pic of the bottle so am using someone's else instead. I also found out that this was bought at around $50 plus at a wine shop called 1855 located at The Star Vista.

The white wine went down nicely, smooth but the effect hit me rather quickly thus it's rather strong and makes me happy and sleepy. A couple of hours later though, both of us felt super alert and had difficulties falling asleep! 

Citibank Birthday Rewards

This seems to be a new initiative from Citibank as I've not received birthday rewards from them before despite having their credit card for a couple of years. I will be using some of them but the rest would probably be thrown away I guess.

I can't wait to see whether I'll have more birthday rewards coming my way! 

Arthur's Reserve Riesling 2011

I'm not a big wine person and it's quite hard for me to find something that I like but yet doesn't give me a rash or a headache! I had this Arthur's Reserve Riesling 2011 at ACCICB's place a couple of weeks ago and I've been hunting it down ever since.

Finally found it at SUTL at S$31.50 per bottle (before 7% GST). They currently have a DBS cards promotion as well but I haven't tried the Shiraz or Cabernet Sauvignon so decided to give that a miss.

Arthur's Reserve is part of SUTL's group house brands so if you are going down to their office, it's normal working hours and days at Pasir Panjang Road. They also have a wine sale twice a year, once in May which we will be going since they have added us in their eDM campaign.
