More on Farming

I'm not too busy on the farm today, it's not time for harvest yet. For the clueless, this is how the farm looks like when crops are in progress. It takes anything from 2 hours to 4 days for the crops to be ready, depending on the type of crops you choose.

I've got a combination of Blueberries and Pineapples, which are the most 'profitable' and 'expensive' crops there are at this point.



So what does a farmer do when the crops are ready? Hire workers to harvest. This here is the marketplace where everyone congregate to hire and get hired to make more Farm Coins. If the stars are on you you'll probably make some new friendly acquaintances from all over the world. I've met a girl from Georgia, a guy from Dubai, a guy from Egypt and several Malaysians too. Well, once in a while you get some weirdo pervert.


That's about it on farming for the day ... I've got to run along to sharpen my sickle and plow now.

Welcome to My Farm!

Yet again I have been rather distant and quiet .... wanna know why? I've been busy farming. Boy I gotta tell you, farming is seriously hard work. The slightest lapse in time management and good planning and your crops die on you, and you waste precious time and money.

This is how my farm look like ..... seriously, no, it's not a real farm *duh*, it's Farm Town, an online multi-player game on Facebook. Gotcha.

Here's a close up of my little house .... I spent forever saving up enough Farm Coins to get this. Sadly the real estate scene there is rather limited, wish they had more designs to select from.

And here we have my motley crew of barnyard animals .... cute but completely useless. You can't gain anything from having these little buggers in your farm, except maybe the occasional bleats and neighs may liven things up abit. Well, at least you don't have to feed them.

I'm so proud of my farm I can just stare and marvel at it for hours!

I might post another entry on how this actually work, but meanwhile I gotta get back to my little farm. My chili peppers need harvesting!

My Catty Obsession

I came across an announcement on Tongue In Chic that Hello Kitty is going online and I was like ... "huh, wow, really???" so naturally I went to check it out lah.... and lo and behold, it's an online community! You can have your own email, blog, videos, forums, games, etc.

Go to the South East Asia Sanriotown site (screenshot below) at this link.

Watch the trailer below, it's a whole new virtual world, kinda like Second Life but a whole lot more "cute" ...



This traler explains everything about the theme ' Massively multiplayer online role-playing game' (commonly abbreviated MMORPG)

The online game is currently not quite ready, check here. They are currently in beta testing, but once ready, the game allows players to create and customize characters, then use them to battle monsters, socialize with one another, mine for ore, do domestic chores like farming or cooking, and participate in quests. So while waiting, go check out the Game Centre.

This is my current favorite game and it's bloody addictive:

Kitty Blocks: my latest obsession. Stand aside Neopets!

This truly brings back all the girly childhood memories of the Sanrio gang ... didn't we all at one point or other have at least ONE Sanrio thingy in our lives??? Hey, as for me I still have these Kitty things; Hello Kitty original bath towel, Hello Kitty fork and spoon set (bought at Daiso haha), Hello Kitty face towel (Daiso too), MAC Hello Kitty Lipstick, Eye Shadow, Makeup Pouch :)

Well, eventhough most of us have outgrown the stoic, flat faced Kitty, but I'm waiting eagerly to jump into SanrioTown to for a second childhood!
