Plague

I just discovered a new game to play on my iPad - Plague Inc. 
It is pretty addictive as the player has to infect and destroy the world with a pathogen while constantly evolving it so that the human race has no chance to fight back. :) Now this game I really have to think and strategise on how to kill off the entire world population lol. :) I love it! I am "evil"! Muahahaha. :P 
I think it is a pretty good game for my kids to play. It teaches them to make use of information given, think about it and make their best move(s). At the same time, they can learn about pathogen/ disease transmission, epidemiology, health and social issues. :)

New "Kid"

There is a new kid on the block. Well, it is not really a new kid but a sequel to an exisiting popular game. Plants vs Zombie 2 is back, with a whole new range of plants, zombies and worlds! It is just as exciting as the 1st PvZ, if not more and best of all, it is FREE! :)
I just found the way to kick my Candy Crush addiction lol. :P

PANICKED!

For a good 30 minutes, I panicked and thought I was back to Level 1 in Candy Crush! I haven't had the chance to play Candy Crush all day today and was about to attempt playing Level 245 on my iPad when the message popped up that I wasn't connected to Facebook. The same message appeared a number of times even after I reinstalled Candy Crush and it showed me as being at Level 1 instead of Level 245! What happened to the other 244 levels that I had played and conquered?!! 
I checked with a friend who plays CC too and was alerted to double-check my CC status in Facebook. Thank goodness! I am still at Level 245. PHEW! I would really cry if I am back to Level 1 again. It seems that there may be a glitch with CC app on the iPad. Hope the glitch will be fixed soon.
 

Working Again

The Updates on the App Store on my iPad 3 is working again. The Updates section is no longer blank but reflects the number of updates available. :) The updates automatically started installing when I hit "Update All". Looks like Apple has finally resolved the issue. :)

App Store Not Updating

For some reason, the updates on the App Store on my iPad 3 (iPad new) are not updating! When I am at the Updates section of the App Store, the Update screen is blank although the red badge over the Updates indicated that I have seven updates via the badge. Tried powering off and powering up again. Tried hard re-set. Nothing. Not sure what is going on... :(

Minecraft?

The girls have been begging me to buy Minecraft to install on my iPad. I see them playing it on their iPhones and it seems to be a really addictive game. I prefer they spend more time on their studies. :P The only reason they want me to buy it is so that they play Minecraft on a bigger screen (on my iPad)! Not sure if I want to buy it... Maybe if they do well for their end of year examinations, I will definitely, seriously consider buying it. :)

Skyping via iPad

I recently started Skyping with my brother and his family in UK via the iPad3. It is definitely a lot faster than starting up the notebook cold.  The only complaint my mother had was that it was heavy to hold the iPad for a period of time lol.

iPad 3 Out Today?

Is iPad3 really coming out today? Is it?! Is it??!!
Anyone knows?! Do tell!!

iPad 2 or iPad 3?

My brother and I would like to get an iPad for our mother so that it would be easier for her to skype on her own with her grandsons in UK. Currently she has to rely on me and my notebook. However, I am not sure if we should get iPad 2 just yet... Maybe we should just wait a while more since iPad 3 is rumoured to be out in spring of 2012 and we could then compare the two.
