My first Rubik Cube competition

2008-08-22T18:41:00.003+08:00

Today I participated in my first ever Rubik Cube competition. It was held at the Oil & Gas Discovery Centre (OGDC) in Seria. It's the second preliminary round organised by OGDC. First and second place will go through to the final which will be held in December this year.

Well.... I didn't manage to go through. My time wasn't that good today. I need more practice and 50 plus more algorithm to remember.

Contestant briefing

At 33 years old, I'm the oldest contestant ;) .... The others were all teens.

IABHM being interview

Each contestant given 3 rounds. My first round I solved in 56 seconds. Contestant weren't given any time to inspect the cube before start.

Second round I did 59 seconds. This was my worst round. I just can't find the cubies!!!!

Third round I did it in 46 seconds. Not good enough to go through.

I think the winner solve it in 32 seconds and second place solve it in 34 seconds. That's fast!

Wish me luck tomorrow!

Ok.... on my first day here, I went to the gym. The gym is very small. Only 2 treadmills and it's quite old, small and not so solid. Decided to do 3KM run only!!!

Run No. 67

I forget to upload my run last week. Went to gym (Fitness Zone, Kiulap) Sunday morning before going to Jing Chew. Did 5KM however with a couple of break (walk) in between. Don't remember why. I think I complete my 5KM in just less than 40 minutes.

Run No. 66

Hopefully the gym at the hotel I'm staying in Penang won't be a disappointment.

My HTC Touch Dual sold. Checkout my other items for sale.

Thank you.

HTC Touch Dual : For Sale

2008-06-10T23:03:00.006+08:00

I bought the HTC Touch Dual in Singapore last week. It's a HSDPA or 3.5G phone. Checkout the video below for the product demo.

Selling price : BND 700/=

Main reason I'm selling this phone is I still prefer using my small Motorola K1. Also, I don't think I will change my sim card to the 3.5G sim card yet.

Interested? Please email me at rezafaizal@gmail.com

I've not used the ear piece and I've not open the CD.

Comes with one year warranty. Any problem you just need to bring it to HTC Care in Singapore. It's located at No. 1, HarbourFront Ave, #01-06, Keppel Bay Tower, Singapore 098632 (same building as the Canon Service Center).

BTW... I also took the opportunity to see how accurate is my Nike+ Sportsband.

For my first run, I did 13 laps i.e. 5.2KM. Nike+ Sportsband show my run is 5.94KM. Too bad you can't calibrate Nike+ Sportsband on the spot unless you have a PC with you.

Yesterday morning I attended the launching ceremony for DST mobile broadband (GO) and 3.5G mobile service. The ceremony was held at the Empire Hotel and Country Club.

His Royal Highness Prince Haji Al-Muhtadee Billah, the Crown Prince and Senior Minister at the Prime Minister's Office officially launch the DST's GO! broadband service.

Now I'm thinking whether to change my sim card to the 3.5G sim card. If I change I got to buy a new phone as my phone is not 3 or 3.5G. I hope Apple going to come up with a 3.5G iPhone!!!!
