just like to say a big THANK YOU to dilys (my apologies for not knowing your full identity) from Perkachng! for the blogskin. nice ain't it? after you look past your biased thoughts and appreciate the wonder of the SixSides.

anyway thanks very much again Dilys!

excellent.

and to top it up, Chelski were held to an amazing 4-4 draw at home to Aston Villa.

scorers:
Villa: Maloney 14, 44, Laursen 72, Barry 90 pen.
Chelsea: Shevchenko (looking good indeed) 45 pen, 50, Alex 66, Ballack 88.

oh what a late, late, late penalty.

stunning game, with Chelsea 2-0 down (amazing) just before the interval, too back they pulled it back.

3 reds, 8 goals, 2 penalties, and no winner. oh what a classic Premier League match THUMBS UP!

other than that, Pompey held Arse to 0-0 which leaves UNITED! at the top of the table thanks to a 4-0 cruising over Roy Keane's Sunderland, and finally Saha has scored (brace, one of which was a penalty) hopefully he will score more in time to come.

oh ho ho ho, MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY BOXING DAY! indeed, we have reason to celebrate, Ronaldo's CHRISTMAS GIFT - AN AMAZING FREE KICK. left Gordon stunned =D=D=D

Man City v Blackburn tonight, hope for another good match (=

2) 34.62s
3) 35.23s
4) 38.78s
5) 40.01s

omg XD so close to under 40s. but my average still not very good.. like 40+ to 50+ generally even sometimes above a minute -.- scary lmao.

Sunday, December 23, 2007 | 1:34 PM

shall not go into detail of my 10/12 for 22/12/2007.. for the average was 65.399s -.- super lousy and my cube even fell apart.

anyway the 10/12 average for 23/12/2007 is.. (star average i would think)

1) 49.50 (not all that bad)
2) 44.58 (ah, 2nd best timing.. breaking 45s mark again)
3) 57.66
4) 59.02
5) 47.84 (=D)
6) 57.39
7) 1.01.10 (wah so close yet so far.. from sub-minute)
8) 56.98
9) 53.69
10) 1.06.19
11) 56.63 (amazing, considering i hesitated a lot in the long PLL)
12) 1.21.35 (omg... cube was falling apart some more... thank god it's not considered)

so my 10/12 average would be...

56.6s

whee!

so my top 5 of all time would be updated:

1) 42.80
2) 44.58
3) 47.31
4) 47.84
5) 48.92

wow, sub 49 even. not bad i shall aim further.

ah well. school is like going to restart soon and i have so MUCH homework left to do. bleh

Saturday, December 22, 2007 | 10:45 AM

10/12 average for today...

1) 48.92
2) 1.05.04
3) 1.03.48
4) 1.00.52
5) 1.06.77
6) 1.00.01
7) 47.31 (oh cool my 2nd best timing)
8) 1.02.25
9) 54.14
10) 1.20.64 (what the hell -.-)
11) 56.98
12) 1.10.36 (terrible)

this time i interchanged between my old, smoother cube and new, less smooth cube.. but anyway the 10/12 average would be

60.847 i.e. 1.00.847 wah terrible... hope the next 10/12 will be much better.

anyway my top 5 individual records by far:

1) 42.80 (imba wasn't lucky at all)
2) 47.31
3) 48.92
4) 49.04
5) 51.12

hopefully to bring them all down under 50 before long..

Thursday, December 20, 2007 | 10:02 PM

great my red colour of the cube has been changed so it doesn't offer the risk of falling off every time i turn it -.-

anyway! my 10/12 average timing for today (first time i'm doing)

by the way, 10/12 average means taking the timing of 12 solves and taking the average of the middle 10, leaving out the fastest and slowest, which could have been due to luck, or lack thereof.

anyway the timings are: (in minutes.seconds.milliseconds)

1) 56.28
2) 52.16 (i know i don't do full OLL, but it was still an OLL skip)
3) 1.00.26
4) 58.81
5) 42.80!!! (too bad it's going to be left out, it wasn't lucky at all)
6) 1.06.76
7) 58.27
8) 1.01.47
9) 55.80
10) 1.11.66 (terrible)
11) 1.00.90
12) 51.35 (3rd best timing after 42.80 and 49.04)

so my average would be.... (excludes 42.80 and 1.11.66)

58.205seconds!!!

yay. hope i can break 50s soon haha

Friday, December 14, 2007 | 11:35 PM

OMG !

49.04s

yeah i know that sucks =/ but its my best time. and also before that yesterday i got a 52.28 yay

in case you are wondering what the hell i'm talking about, im talking about my rubik's cube timings lol.

and i've just updated for the first time since the start of December.
