The Sushi Spinnery : An Overview

Do you love sushi? The art of making it? Is your dream to be a sushi restaurant owner? Well you no longer need wait because you can make it happen in a game =P.So this Kairosoft game was released after Pocket Clothier and I immediately bought it because I'm so addicted to their games. It's simple you own a sushi restaurant, you provide your customers the best sushi you can ever make. Honestly, it's simple but not an easy game because you will have to create sushi to impress customers which will unlock more customers. Also running a good sushi store will unlock more decorations and store items. 

To make good sushi, sushi coin is utilized to obtain good ingredients which gives you the good sushi. Winning contest will also help the restaurant but it is not easy because you need to slowly work out a sushi that will impress the judges. There is a lot of figuring out to do in order to unlock new stuff. I'm just playing my first rotation of the game and it is really hard to come out with good sushi combos and I've spent much sushi coin which result to nothing gained. Another thing about preparing sushi, the sushi chef must also have good skills because if they have low prep skill and discern skill, the amount of ingredients used and also how much of texture, flavor, aroma and such level up will suffer. 

We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together

I am totally in love with this song not because I'm related to it. The tune, the lyrics and the way Taylor Swift sings this truly made it a song belonging to her. I have been a fan of her songs mostly for the lyrics and the meaning of the song. It's always related to real life, straight to the point which is what I enjoy from music. The tune written along with the lyrics is just so catchy and it's a nice song to sing along with. Really looking forward to her album. Before this song my favourite from her is "Fearless" and now it's this song for sure. Please watch the video to enjoy the song and I hope you'll love it too =D.

The "delights" of Facebook

The most famous social networking site around, "Facebook". Some joined facebook to connect with their friends and families that around the world. You get to see pictures, share videos on the site. Others joined facebook for the "delights" that I'm bout to write. There are many flash games offered by facebook and it attracted people to join, it keeps people interested. Look what happened to friendster, it got boring.

When I first joined facebook, the games available were very static. It had games such as mafia, vampires, where you do jobs, level up and more options are unlocked. Those games had no flash, just pictures as descriptions of items, words, links and virtual money used to do buy/sell like Utopia the online game on the internet.

Slowly, more developers joined in developing applications either for making money or for interest which bring birth to flash games. I started with playing "Pet Society", "Who has the biggest brain?" which was owned by Playfish games. Then more games started to come and compete with them which brought Zynga's "Farmville", "CafeWorld", "Roller Coaster Kingdom" and many more from both.

Pet Society was about you having a pet, you earn money by racing and visiting other people, you use the money to buy clothes, food, furniture. Earning money was hard but it was fun to buy stuff, sort of like a Sims 3 game but in a much smaller scale.


Then the fun "Restaurant City" from playfish games became the hype, most of my friends were playing it. The game is about you owning a restaurant and serving customers a variety of dishes based on the ingredients you have. Everyday you'll get ingredient and there is also a quiz that gives an ingredient as a reward. Ingredients given are totally random so it's hard to upgrade your dish cause a few are needed for one dish. Serving those dishes to the customers (AI ones) increases your level in the game which unlock more space or more staff. Money is used where yo can buy furniture to decorate the restaurant and change the clothing of your staff.




Competing with Playfish games was Zynga. The first game I played from this group is "Farmville" where you own farm and you plant vegetables, you can have an orchard. All those grow in different timing. You also have farm animals to produce goods for you to sell.



After this game came out, Playfish games introduced "Country Story", in comparison, "Country Story" was drawn better but less vegetables are available for harvesting, but it had quest for you to complete that rewards points and food to level up and many items for decorating the farm.



Zynga has "Roller Coaster Kingdom" which reminded me of Rollercoaster Tycoon. Basically you own a theme park, you level up by having customers visit your park, you add more features by the money you earn. In terms of graphics, it is much better than "Farmville".



The current game that most of my friends are playing now is "Cafe World", the concept is similar to "Restaurant City" where you sell food and earn money to decorate. But one thing different is you get to prepare the dishes, there is a time limit on how long it takes to cook it, therefore you are not serving the same thing in your restaurant.




While some surf Facebook to check out on their friends and look at pictures, many of us indulge in the games that are available to spend our time using the internet. Facebook certainly changes the concept of Social Networking sites compared to Friendster, with this they remain interesting for all ages.

Topics, topics...

I have always loved writing, of course it's not writing technical documents such as the ones we're required to do for our FYPs. I prefer writing on something that has much freedom. Lately, I've been thinking on improving my blog and adding in more topics. Firstly, I think I shall ask myself what would I like to read from blogs before I ask around. There are many things that can be written down. What I observed from other blogs, they cover traveling, technology, food, daily life, objects such as cars, bikes, toys and many others.

Therefore there are many things to write, but what I am good at? What do I have interest in? I think sharing on my knowledge and my opinion on the things I like are worth reading :p. Unless you disagree with me and have better topics for me. Given a title, I may be able to write it but depending on the information I have and inspiration for that title. Putting some thought to it, I think I shall start by writing my opinions/reviews on things that I have interest in or objects that I use. It may not be good but in time I hope to improve my diversity on different kind of topics. My advise to people who want to improve like myself is to read more on different things that interest you, pick out writers that inspire you and see the style they have in writing and discover your own as you discover other's.
