Good bye floppy birds for good ? (Being taking down February 9th, 2014)

Have you heard of the newest rising star in the apple store recently? If not, look around, even in the play store, it's a pretty hot game. Made it to the number one list within days, and the game doesn't have much to it besides tapping on the screen making sure the bird flies in between the pipes. Yup, it's floppy birds. 

As of now, many of the games that's along the same branch are also on the top ten, which includes ironpants, super ball juggling, 

shuriken block, and a copy verison of floppy bird called flappy planes by some other Asian. It's scary how it's all dominating the top list chart when all they do, and the whole purpose of the game is to tap for each and every one of them. I never understood, even up to now, why all my friends are addicted to it. And heck, were in the same generations too. This game isn't just popular for teens but from kids to adult as well. Each trying their best to beat their friends score, or to test the impossible. 

To be honest, my highest score was 4, so there, laugh all you want. 

However, the jokes may be on you now. So, according to the Vietnamese creator of this game, Nguyen Ha Dong, he declared that he is going to take the game "floppy bird" down 22 hours from then (when he posted), although the reasons are still a bit of unsure, all we know as of now is that he said he is taking it down for personal purpose even though he earns about $50,000 from advertisements alone a day. How crazy is that? 

(His tweeter is @dongatory , so if anyone wanna protest, there you have it.

So according to buzzfeed:

Nguyen Ha Dong, the indie game developer who created overnight

 hit Flappy Bird, just tweeted that he is planning on taking the game down tomorrow.

Although some people have accused Dong of ripping off other games, he said the decision was not because of a legal drama.

Dong Nguyen@dongatoryFollow

It is not anything related to legal issues. I just cannot keep it anymore.

I can call 'Flappy Bird' is a success of mine. But it also ruins my simple life. So now I hate it.

Despite the seemingly imminent shut down, Flappy Bird seems to have recently gone under renovation.

Pipes look more polished, the background oscillates between night and day, and Flappy Bird changes from red, blue, or yellow

Starbucks Star Dash Event ; now thru February 11

I'm pretty sure everyone here's heard of the Starbucks gold card, which many of us tends to dash for. Haha, see what I did there? Just kidding. However, from the end of January till February 11th, Tuesday, Starbucks are doing a star dash event where if you get 4 stars, you will get a bonus of 10 stars, and of you earned 7 stars, you get the bonus of 20 stars. And this is by far one of the most amazing event in comparison to other kind of event they had, like the holiday star dash where 7 stars only gets you $5 dollar and 10 stars get you $10 dollars, which doesn't really profit. I mean yeah I guess, since there's free money involved, but still, in comparison to today's event, it's way out of it's league. 

Sadly, I didn't know about the star dash until a week ago. Thus, I had to literally buy a coffee everyday in order to finish it before February 11th (because I don't really drink coffee on weekends). 

But as the work of my action. As of now, I have six stars. Literally just one more star to go to get 26 stars!(:

So I'll probably buy myself a coffee next Monday and get myself some 20 bonus stars! Haha (: 

Yay green card! And no, not the visa green card. 

Did I mention I received a green badge as well?(: ehehehe

=======

Don't believe me? Bam!

Lol crazy stuff. But all of you views should definitely join this team of the star dash. Just keep asking people if they want Starbucks, and if they do, tell them you'll get it for them and have them pay you back. After all you're not going to drink that much coffee. ( ´_ゝ｀) too much caffeine is totally bad for you. 

Post Chinese New Year Hotpot

Once a year, Chinese family gathers around the dinner table, talking about new year resolution, catching up on things they thought they lost and retaining things they never had. However on this night, things are different. 

Hell. I don't know what's wrong with my sister. She's like bipolar and all those stuff. I mean it's one thing to be bossy but yelling like I'm all at fault is another thing. 

So during the new year dinner of hot pot. I asked for vermicelli because clearly there weren't any in the hotpot. And she was like its in the kitchen if you want it go get it. And I was like okay then, thinking never mind. Right then, she ordered, "go get it". I was like, okay, like gee thanks for trying to ask nicely, because I totally don't need to follow your order and get it. I walked over to the kitchen and gave it a quick glance and saw one last block of vermicelli left and thought oh okay here it is, and I brought it back to the dining room, poured it into the hotpot. Only to realize that everyone screamed. And my mom was like you need to put hot water in it first before placing it into the hotpot. Although everyone said "oh well just let it go" my sister came and grabbed it out of the pot saying that she soaked a bunch of blocks of vermicelli. And lead me to the kitchen saying, "if you don't know, ask. If you don't have the knowledge of it, at least you should have the common sense for this kind of things and ask." I'm like wtf? I did ask, and your the one telling me to go get it, and your the one who always tell me that I need to look for it rather than always asking you. Fuck. I can't please her every time she gets fucking irritated. Can someone teach me how to ease a bipolar in denial married with two kids two faced woman? How can she be so unthoughtful of the things she say? She tells others one thing and tells me the other. She is all nice and kind out side while treating others but leave no mercy when it comes to me. It's like, really now? Really? And for those who are blind like her, if I confront them, they will just be offended and all; what is the point? Truely. I feel like crying because if she can say those things like she meant it, I can't pretend I don't care about it.
