Rubik's Madness

It's official. I'm addicted to this 3x3x3 cube called the Rubik's Cube. :D

Last Saturday I have this sudden urge to go and conquer this toy, and so I went ahead to the bookshop downstairs of my home and bought that was just $1.50 only! What a steal! (yeah right~) I eagerly tore open the plastic wrapping and started messing the cube up. To my dismay, turning the individual layers was hard, and after applying some strength, the cube broke! *doh!*

Just to satisfy my crave, I tried my best to fix the cube up again just to play with it. It was however, totally unsatisfactory in my opinion. Then on Wednesday, it broke officially, and I gave up fixing it back. Was too much a pain.

After work that day, I head over to Suntec's Toys"R"Us and finally bought an official cube! It costs $10.95, but it's so worth it! haha.. The turning is smooth and colours are awesome. Just looking at that makes my day a little brighter in fact. :P

After watching several tutorial videos online, I'm now able to solve a 3x3x3 Rubik's Cube. My best record is roughly 4 mins now, and I'm still trying to get up to speed with it. At the same time, I'm intending to get Rubik's Revenge (4x4x4 in layman terms)!

wahahaha... I'm mad. :P
