Rubik's Magic

Yesterday, I got a Rubik's Magic from Parkson Grand, Pavillion, Kuala Lumpur...


The Section in Parkson Grand that sells Rubik's Products..

Rubik's Cubes and more..

Rubik's Magic for sale....I bought a rubik's mini bag too (to put rubik's cube into it)

Rubik's Magic - Horizontal View

Rubik's Magic - Vertical View

Out of the box...The Rubik's Magic in original state... 3 rings..

Rubik's Magic in solved state....3 linked rings..

The nice thing of this puzzle isn't really solving it....but the patterns it could create...after trying to solve for an hour or two...I got cought up with many of these cases...

Wow...Looks like a sofa...Looks like a chair =.=" I am not actually making this pattern...but it came out all of a sudden...

Fish formula !! Oops.. I mean fish case... =P

The next day, when I was trying to speed... the strings loosen up...so I got to restring the whole Rubik's Magic...learned through youtube tutorial on how to restring a Rubik's Magic..

Time to restring....

Almost done....

Done....used a torchlight to find the strings that I dropped on the floor, used a type of pin to make my stringing easier, because we have to strecth the string...if use hand, it would be very painful..

Some co-curricular activities in school during saturdays...

Last saturday I went to school to visit my school's scout troop meeting...Didn't post this on that day because I was quite busy the past few days...


There are lots of kokurikulum activities during saturdays...mostly are uniform meetings...but not many meetings on that day because exams are near...spm trail ...and also pmr is coming soon..

The Scouts...


The Ninjutsu...


The Karate-Do...


The Taekwon-Do...


And also...The Lion Dance Team...



The scout seniors are teaching the juniors how to tie knots...


They not only teach it theoritically, but also practical..


The Troop Leader, Quek Yew Aun, reading juniors personal log to find out how do they think about the meetings...


1...2...3... PULL !! After the knots lesson..they had a gadget building competition...

Some of the gadgets are up...


Fall in after the gadget building competition...


Giving out certificates to some scouts...


End of troop meeting...

Taking down the flags...

At the mean time, in between the scout activities... I also walked around the school and guess what I saw...Someone accidentally threw a basketball to the 1st floor..and all the gates connected to the higher floors were locked...

Eugene Chia : Hey you...go get back the basketball....you have "Hang Gong" *Light Kung Fu*

Boon Lye : Arghh...help me.... okay okay I will get it...

Boon lye performing his "Hang Gong" and Eugene Chia and Bryan Ong uses their hand wave power to push him up *One of the ninjutsu skills*...

Boon lye got the ball and he is coming down...

I joined their training...and this is the ending part where Sensei (It means teacher in Japanese) tells a story about Bruce Lee...

We took a group photo... ^_^

Neutrals V.S Shinobi Boon Lye

Take that !!
Shinobi Neutrals...jkjk, I am not a ninjutsu member...

East Sheen cubes...

After jungle trekking at gasing hills...my father took me to buy east sheen cubes at Action City Store ... The Gardens, Mid Valley.


Action City Store....
The cubes for sale at Action City...

2x2x2 , 4x4x4 and 5x5x5 East Sheen Cubes~~

Out of the box.....quite a cool way of packaging, the box do not get damage...

My New Collection~ lent a rubik's 3x3 cube to a friend..and the pyraminx isn't mine, I borrowed from a friend..and I also broke my 2x2 rubik's brand cube..

The Rubik's Family..

The Eastsheen Family... The 4x4x4 East Sheen cube and 5x5x5 East Sheen cube are almost same sized...I can't really see any difference in size..maybe an mm or two...

2x2x2 Rubik's Mini Cube(Broke it a few days ago) and 2x2x2 East Sheen Cube(the picture below)

Comparison :

Rubik's : Smaller in size, RM22.90, Available at Toys R Us, Not so smooth, Slower. Do not buy this...it suks a lot ! Although it is cheaper, but it really suks a lot in turning..and need lots of breaking in...lubrication doesn't help much too.

East Sheen : Much larger in size, RM29.80, Available at Action City, Pink stickers replaced Orange, Much more smooth, Faster. This is good ! Slightly more expensive, but better a lot...already good out of the box, even without lubrication already very smooth and fast. If compare to a Rubik's Mini Cube...East Sheen 2x2x2 are very big !

There isn't any debate with Rubik's and East Sheen...because 2x2x2 East Sheen cubes own Rubik's mini cube... overall 2x2x2 East Sheen also good(mostly all top 2x2x2 solvers also use East Sheen)...very worth buying(if you are aiming for speed for 2x2x2).

4x4x4 Rubik's Revenge(left) and 4x4x4 East Sheen Cube(right)

Comparison :

Rubik's : Larger in size, RM79.90, Available at Toys R Us, Not so smooth, Easier to turn a single layer, Slower. Do not buy this...it suks a lot ! More expensive and not so good..and need lots of breaking in and also need lubrication.

East Sheen : Smaller in size, RM49.80, Available at Action City, Pink stickers replaced Orange, Much more smooth, Harder to turn a single layer, Faster. This is good ! Cheaper and better...already good out of the box, even without lubrication already very smooth and fast.

There is still a debate on both too...but I surely perfer East Sheen's 4x4x4 .

5x5x5 Rubik's Professor Cube(left) and 5x5x5 East Sheen Cube(right)

Comparison :

Rubik's : Larger in size, RM79.90, Available at Toys R Us, Not so smooth, Easier to turn a single layer, Slower. More expensive by abit RM10, it isn't so smooth and fast..but it is much easier to turn a single layer..need lots of breaking in.

East Sheen : Smaller in size, RM69.80, Available at Action City, Pink stickers replaced Orange, Much more smooth, Very hard to turn a single layer, Faster. Cheaper and...already good out of the box..but very hard to turn a single layer due to its size...*very small*.

There is still a debate for both Rubik's and East Sheen...but many people recommend V-cube 5...no need to debate and it is the best..wish I have one before able to join an official competition.
