finally got round to learning the rubik's cube! my younger bro's been playing it for some years but i nv did muster enough motivation to learn, thinking that it's difficult or rather, not wanting to know how stupid i might be. there's been a recent revival of interest..perhaps due to the recent world championships, where the winner solved 5 cubes with an average time of 12.47s! *faintz* sounds so impossible, how can you even turn the cube that fast?

so decided to explore my bro's cube but alas, somehow he managed to break the cube. yes, break it. then saw my project mate fiddling with one. cannot! how can other ppl know how to solve but not me? so off to toys 'r' us i went..busy practising from sat till now, with help from my bro and toys 'r' us instructions, i've learnt how to solve! though not in the way of "knowing" but rather from like memory work >.< it's intriguing! somewhat like modular origami? now, if only i would put in that much work into my school assignments..
