Life with Candies

SHORT UPDATE: 

I'm still half done with my homework but I'm sooo excited about this post that I have to post this before I can continue on with my work.

Anywaysssss, I've noticed many people have been including this AAQ (Ask-A-Question) widget in their blogs. It's pretty fun to ask questions anonymously and so, I've been debating with myself on whether I should include this widget in my blog. It's quite fun to answer questions, but then again, what's the point ._. 

I mean, if I include this widget when obviously no one reads this blog, then it's just pure dumbness.

Also, I'm deciding which AAQ widget to use!! Formspring or Ask.fm?? Both are very user-friendly but I'm more inclined towards Formspring because of I-don't-know-what reason. So.... I have decided to let you readers decide!!!! 
If I get like 5 questions by midnight today on any one of the AAQ, I'll use that widget permanently!!!If I don't get 5 responses by then, then too bad I'll just not use them anymore!! 

 It doesn't need to be questions la, just some form of response to show that someone is reading this blog! You can just use it as a portal for you to comment on my posts or request for a post you may want me to write on. So... ask away!!!!!!!!!

Now, it's time for CANDY CRUSH!!!
Many people, ranging from old to young, have been hooked onto this very "interesting" game. I'm pretty sure most of you out there are quite into this game so please don't be offended by what I'm going to say next okay!!!

After looking at hours and hours of people literally devoting their time playing Candy Crush and going around to ask for lives, I honestly find it pure stupid. I'm not saying the act of you playing Candy Crush is stupid, but the act of you going around to ask others for your so-called lives is stupid

Yeah yeah, it's highly-addictive and fun. But I don't find it THAT fun, really. 

What's the point of staring at your phone for a hell long time trying to think of this one strategic move??? I mean like, HELLO YOU RATHER DO SOMETHING MORE BENEFICIAL YO. Things like listening to the lecturer or sleeping are much more beneficial to you than PLAYING THAT. FYI, in case you are wondering how sleeping is more beneficial, sleeping during lectures/lessons/bus rides at the very least allows you to catch up with sleep right!!!!  

Well, some of you may think that what I said is irrelevant because... Candy Crush can "amazingly" teach you 8 life lessons. WOW what an amazing feat. Would you like some applause? 

According to this online article, Candy Crush can teach 8 life lessons which makes Candy Crush a superb game which stands out from others. Let's see what's written in this article then.

Life is not always fair. Sometimes you get lucky with a good board, sometimes you don't. Deal with it. 
YEAH YEAH, life's unfair. But who doesn't know this when this fact is literally thrown to us every single day of our lives? If you need Candy Crush to emphasize this fact, then I'm sorry, I think you have wasted the past ten or twenty years of your life.

Persistence is the key to success. If you persist long enough, one of these days, you are bound to get it right somehow. Or get lucky. Or both. 
Oh really? If only you guys tried hard enough and solve those extremely difficult questions for Maths like how you do for CC, then maybe you won't find Maths such a chore anymore.

Ask friends for help when you need it. You'll be surprised at how many are able and willing.
AIYO why don't I see this many people helping others with studies ah???

Help friends as much as you can. Life is all about give and take after all.
It's easy to give and take online... But how often can you find someone who helps others as much as they give lives in CC?? 

There will not always be friends who can help you out. It happens. Suck it up and wait.
Valid point. Okay.

You won't always understand what's going on. That's fine, you're not expected to.
This point is quite ridiculous honestly. It's either you match 3 in a row or you do not complete the level. Simple as it is, I don't see how you can't understand what's going on just because a new sort of candy is introduced. Just WATCH and LEARN la, got that hard to understand this game meh.

Chocolate is evil. It will mess things up. 
HOW IS THIS A LIFE LESSON!!! I don't see people disliking/ abstaining from chocolate after playing Candy Crush.

Life is equal parts fun and frustrating. It is full of challenges every step of the way, yet it can also be sweet and colorful! 
This is the second 'life lesson' that I find acceptable HAHA 

Okay, sorry if I sounded damn mean shooting down whatever proves that Candy Crush is beneficial to some extent. I understand you guys like matching 3 in a row and nice candies and not that I'm telling you to stop playing it, but it will be very helpful if you don't go around asking for lives and sending me tons of requests for them on Facebook. It's freaking annoying, REALLY.

Again, I apologize if I sound mean!!! I think it's just me and my dislike for games which requires ALOT of time and brainjuice. I super duper hate games which are literally unsolve-able if you don't spend hours after hours trying to crack that one puzzle. It's a waste of my time, my brainjuices, my phone battery. It's totally totally not not not worth it from what I see la.

But then... Candy Crush has brought us some really pretty pastries 'cause of (I have to admit,) its cute graphics. The pastries looks really cute and I won't even bear to eat them manxz.
Cakes!!! 

Cupcakes!!!

Macaroons!!! For more photos, read RachellTan's post on it!

Okay la, to make up for my meanness previously and brighten up the mood, let's go on a Candy tour okay!!!! ^^


WELCOME TO TheBurntFire'S CANDY SHOP.
Your sweetest addiction.
I super love seeing candies in candy jars. It's so vintage-y!!

SECTION 1: CHOCO
LOTSA colours of M&M's!!! 

You know, I was never a fan of M&M's because I don't like chocolate ): So amazing how M&M's has so many colours and flavours!!! 

SECTION TWO: GUMMIES!!!!!!
See those dark blue/ black sweets in the center? I forgot what they are called but I know they come in red and black!! Raspberry and blueberry maybe? These gummies covered with circular balls (which were quite tasteless to me but they gave the nice bumpy texture!) and I found it really cool back then. 

Hehe, somehow I love this photo more than the previous one!! Because IT HAS MORE SUGARY GUMMY!!! I super love those gummies which have sugar on them!! Makes them much more texture-y and makes me happier la. 

Warning: The following contain close-up photos of the different sugary gummies!!
Rainbow Sour Power Belts!!!! This only came about quite recently (maybe 4 years back?), along with the other flavours like Watermelon (Dark Red), Strawberry-Banana (Red-Yellow) and Berry Blue (Purple-Blue), if I'm not wrong? 

I only remember having tasted the Green Apple (Green), Strawberry (Bright Red) and Cola (Brown) back in Primary school because they didn't sell any other flavours. Sadly, its prices are higher now and I no longer buy them.
Blueberry? Haven't seen this around Singapore. 
Oh my god, just look at those sugar beads on the gummies!!!! So pretty!!!!! My all-time favourite gummy is the cola-flavoured gummy which is kind of shaped like a bottle, similar to the last picture! 
(Hehe, now you know what can make me happy)

I'm off to do my work now!! Bye ;)
