2 Minutes Too Much

Yesterday I went to KLCC Convention Hall (or whatever it was called) because the property fair was held. We went around looking at housing areas that are being built, etc., blah, etc. and there was this Dulux whatever having this challenge. I guess it was just for the fun of it because if you can beat the time limit, you'll get a lame prize and that's it.

So what was the challenge? You won't believe it, it's a Rubik's cube challenge where you have two minutes to complete one side. What the right?! I can finish at least two whole Rubik's cubes in two minutes. Well duh, two minutes was because the people who were at the property fair were mostly adults and tiny kids so it's for the majority of people who can't cube. Well this is where it gets disappointing, the cube they want you to finish is a freaking suck cube. The sides turn worse than any other fake Rubik's cubes I've touched before. It squeaks with every turn and it was 99.99% not lubricated because turning it required strength. I finished one side in 46 seconds which mad me really disappointed because I could have finished one whole cube in that time (my average is 48 seconds). The prize I got? One of there suck cubes that has the words "Dulux" on every white sticker and a obviously copy-printed Rubik's Cube logo on the center yellow tile. Now I'm not gonna touch that cube unless necessary, maybe for experimenting on making different puzzles. Hehe.

"WOOW!" - First Time I Shouted That Word Aloud At Home

I did it! I manage to satisfy myself with a new record! But of course, it happened with luck. Nyeh.

(Damn, should have had a video then I can really celebrate.)

I manage to hit the 40 seconds (40.20 secs) I wanted to get but I don't feel satisfied. Maybe I'll go a few more rounds.

Faster For The Better

I played with my Rubik's cube last week after weeks of not touching it and I thought about trying to reverse some of the algorithms. Though, one worked and the other failed because it won't work in reverse.

The next day at tuition, Sue Yin told me about solving the cube faster by reversing some algorithms but the algorithms she told me about was the one I did not test on. Whoopie!

Now, my new record of solving the 3x3x3 Rubik's cube is 43.53 seconds! My first try resulted 48.73 seconds the second, 46.62 seconds and the I sorta stopped at 43.53 seconds, but hey! I got faster by 10 seconds! It's a new record! Without Fridrich! I'm confident that I can reach 40 seconds! Yes! I can do it!

I Want...

TO BUY THAT BLEACH SHINIGAMI COSPLAY COSTUME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's Tomorrow And I'm Thinking About Other Stuff!

Tomorrow's SPM and I'm caught up with a bunch of things I should not be thinking about.

1) Cosplay (I'm thinking about the materials and the things I need to do for it)

2) Bleach (Talking about cosplaying with Denise made me get the Bleach mood back.)

Since I'm still blogging here, I should list down the things I need and things that needs to be done for my cosplay.

Things to get/buy/obtain/borrow:

-Brown hair spray

-Red t-shirt

-Badminton handle tape thingy (optional)

-A wooden handle (preferably a hammer's handle)

-Cardboard

-Varnish

Things to be done:

-Spray paint and apply varnish on the thing I'm gotta make using the cardboard.

-Spray paint and apply varnish on my baseball bat. (Also write the necessary thing on it using marker pen.)

-Don't cut hair.

-Remove tags and badges from my school uniform. (After SPM)

I need to find a way to pull myself away from the computer and those thoughts and work on my history. I'm defiantly screwed because I'm not ready for my history. We should learn geography instead of history!

Mission In Operation

Things I wanna/gotta do after SPM:

1) Party with friends.

2) Jam with Xin, Beng and Han.

3) Prom.

4) Comic Fiesta where I would be cosplaying for the first time!

5) Driving lessons!

6) Go to the next Education Fair to find a good arts college. I'm choosing between Lim Kok Weng and One Academy.

7) Practice on shuffling. Why? For fun.

8) Plan class reunions. After a bunch of requests, Standard 4 reunion will come first.

9) Hang out with friends.

10) Learn and master the Fridrich method and break my 3x3x3 Rubik's Cube record.

Awesome Possum?

Why are possums awesome? They play dead.

Awesome Dawson.

Awesome random.

Awesome? Possum. Random. Yeah.

Possums are random.

School Canteen Day 2009 - The Worst Canteen Day Ever!

Lazy to do this post so I'll just make it all in point form.

-Go to school, saw something awesome! E.T. in action! Whoa! It's big and bright!

-Walked around, found Kin Yen's game stall. What a messy game.

-Used my first amount of coupons on a dart game. All miss. Imagine getting all darts around one balloon.

-Then walked around with Josh looking for something to spend our coupons on. Seriously! We were there not to enjoy our selves, we were there to desperately spend our coupons!

-Finally took on Kin Yen's game. I suck shit because I got too dizzy at one part of the game.

-Walked around, blah, blah, blah, look at the pictures for a better story.

-Spent all coupons on Dominoes Pizza. A whole box for me! Oh well, shared some slices with some friends.

-Almost died. Kar Loke's parents gave Yat Hong, Yat Sun and I all their coupons. Aaaah!!!

-Bought 10 cans of drinks using our new set of free coupons. The the rest were donated to Esther's stall by Yat Hong.

-Finally went out of school and to Center Point. Late by 2 hours. Geez...

-Played Naruto. I pwn Ken and cut him some slack at our last game when I used Naruto. Naruto dies. Banzai!

-Went to Anime Tech with Yat Hong and Yat Sun to buy myself some Naruto headbands and Chia Kuui's birthday present. Hahaha. The shopkeeper has the words "I hate this job. Why the hell are kids here? Get the hell out of here. I wanna be left alone. I hate my life." all over his face. It was a scary experience in there.

-Went back to school with Marcus and played basketball. Then went home. I'm getting better at shooting the hoops. Woot!

Abel getting ready to be dunked.

Me at the ice game. I like getting my arm numb from the cold. Hehe.

Yat Hong has someones shades on to act cool in front of Esther.

Gory and disgusting pictures of road accident victims. No heads, arms here and there, brains sticking out, bloody face with missing part of head, etc, etc. Gross.

Spot the mistake! Haha! Advertisement fail!

Me at the dunking machine. I sucked bad.

Happy Whatever

Today's my sister's birthday. The younger one, not the youngest one.

Anyway, in collaboration of my sister's birthday, she got probably the best present ever today.

She got a warning letter from her school saying that she has skipped school for 5 days and a letter saying that she has not returned her science text book. Good for her. She has been complaining about going to school saying that after her exams, her classmates have been skipping school for days and class have been very boring. So my dad, as usual, let her her way and she skips school. Now who's got a bad mark in her school record now, huh? That's for not listening to me.

Gah! Stupid China Brand!

My sister told me about a store in 1Utama that is selling some unusual puzzles and so I went to have a look and found a bunch (about 4) special puzzles and some other usual puzzles. I was so excited, I whooped out my 100 bucks that I had saved and bought a Skewb and a Cross Cube. When I got home, I excitedly ripped out the packaging and started to mess the Cross Cube up. Though blur, I remembered that the extending part of the Cross Cube can turn but because the one I purchased did not, I thought I was just imagining it.

Later, when Tony Fisher's new website came out, I then only found out that the Cross Cube's extended sides can actually turn! This was when I got pissed off at the China company (or whatever), that shop (rather not expose the name) and myself. In Tony Fisher's website, he stated that some of his puzzles were mass produced by some Chinese company. This is what you should expect when you are living in Malaysia, 90% fakes, 10% originals and that 10% only exists in official toy stores like Toys"R"Us. I decided not to ask for a refund at that shop as a reminder to myself to not go frenzy when finding new puzzles in Malaysia and to check if it functions just like the original.

My stupid, shitty, asshole fucking Cross Cube and the awesomely, nicely working Skewb.

Awesome Possum!

As usual, I'd go to YouTube to check if there are any new videos by my subscribes and I saw that Tony Fisher has made a website to show all the awesome puzzles he made and related updates and stuff. It was so cool! I learned many new stuff about Tony and his puzzles. There are many interesting information to cube freaks like me to gobble. I think it'll take me weeks to view the whole of Tony's website! Kyahaha!

The Heat Goes Up Again

Oh boy, I'm sick again... This really sucks. I have sore throat, runny nose and fever. I don't feel like going to school, I might fall asleep in class while teacher's teaching or if teacher notices my pale face, she might ask me to go home and rest like what Pn. Misliah told me today. Luckily I made an excuse to not go home. I don't wanna skip school half way through the day when I want to be in school.

My school has stopped the H1N1 prevention and everybody must go down to the assembly grounds to have assembly. How stupid is that? They are exposing the students to danger! Look at me! I'm like a moving nuclear bomb! Not help saying that, the school authorities are ignorant towards students cries of worry. I hope I'll get well as soon as possible. I hate getting sick because I wanna go to school and being sick is a burden, it makes me super weak! I can't even play ball with Patches properly. He keeps tugging at the ball when he wants me to throw it for him. Silly dog. Haha...
