Wierd...

It's weird... it's really, really weird... I mean, it's really, really, really weird... Don't you think? Weird... Aw, shucks! I was just playing around with everyone! Haha! Eh? Not funny? (You wanna die punk?! You better laugh or else!)

Anyway, it seems like most visitors and my friends enjoy reading my blog with the title 'I got ripped off!'. Everyone enjoys hearing my pants cracked into two. With my @#$&*^& exposed then seeing my #$%!!@# and my two #$@#%$ dangling eh? What are those things that are dangling? Figure it out yourself! (Gosh, you were thinking about... THAT? Pervert!) Haha... I'm just messing with you!

Well, I'm glad that I can make people laugh out through their day from reading my blogs and sharing my experiences with them. Perhaps I did save them from their misery I guess? Here's a comment from my friend,

"nel seriously i cannot read your blog during my working time. i laughed when i read it, my colleague semua heran. i blame you nel! hahahahahaha :))" - No name (I don't make this up aight? It's really by 'No name'!)

(I'm to be blamed?) Err... We'll skip that one. What I'm trying to say is that I'm just happy that I can make people laugh from reading my blog. (I did said that just now right?) It makes me happy to see everyone happy. So do drop by quite often as you might not know what you may stumble upon! (...and to blame me more I guess!)

Oh and again, if anyone who didn't register with Windows Live and you can't drop comments on my blog, you can drop one at my Guest Book but please leave your name or something so that I can thank you properly. Pretty please! Example,

"Yo Ryan! Your blog is so COOL! So cool it's cooler that a cooler that cools off a cold food man!" - Mr. Bean <--- 'leave something like this'.

Aight? So get it? Furthermore, it makes me appreciate you more if I know who you are because later on, don't start blaming me when I accidentally thank someone else and then you will say that I don't appreciate you after dropping me lots of comments when you didn't leave your name there. (Padan muka! Keh! Keh! Keh!)

Anyway, that's all from me so cheers everyone!

Congratulation!

Congratulation to my friend, Hamli, on launching his new blog. Looks like I've inspired him on blogging as well as choosing Windows Live as his choice for blogging.

Read his quote here, "Thanks to my friend Ryonall giving me an idea of which weblog to choose, he is the one who start uses this windows live to create blog.. and then, as he is IT people, so i just follow what he use :D i hope it is the best.. Thanks again Ryonall..". Ah, things I do for my friends... This shows that IT is not just an expertise on hardware and software but it can bring relationships closer (I think?). So Ham, you're most welcome if I've inspired you and expanding your hobbies on another area.

Here's a screen shot of his Windows Space,

Well whatever it is, I hope that he'll have fun as well as finding out more uses for Windows Live other than only blogging. You can visit his blog here. Anyway, good luck on your blog Ham and keep it alive! Yeah!

Solution

For those who are fed up on how to solve the cube, here are one of the solution on how to solve the cube. GUARANTEED!

Done in 6 seconds! A new record!

Good things happen to people who wait...

The waiting has ended! It was a surprise for me from my boss that he gave me something that I’ve longed for since I’ve managed to complete the Rubik’s Cube. You can check my post here. I have managed to solve the Rubik’s Cube in 4 days after days of training from my boss. I have him to thank for the guidance that he gave in teaching on ways to solve the cube where the I was tormented since I was small to solve the darn cube but it has ended. Anyway what am I talking about the wait and all? Well, I have the ORIGINAL Rubik's Cube! Hehe... It's like a reward for me from my boss since I am searching for the original cube after I have managed to solve the cube because the training cube was painful with the sharp edges and it get stuck sometimes when you try to turn the cube. Anyway it was worthed since I know the secret of the cube!

I thought it was impossible to find it anywhere around here since the cube seems to be more like a nuisance than a puzzle for everyone. It was one of the 'impossible' puzzle to be solved as you try to solve all color to make it the same but the problem is that when you solve one of the surface and starts the other one, the first surface will be disturbed. Haih... Problematic right? Anyway, I want to show off my...ehem...ORIGINAL cube!

Nice packaging...

The Rubik's Cube upclose!

The cube must have the following logo as a mark that it's the original product.

Other than that, I was also given a chance to try on the Pocket Cube which was smaller with the size of 2x2. The original cube size was 3x3. There are many more that we can find with various size and shape. Some examples can seen from here and here. These are hardcore cuber collector! Hehe... Well, here's a look on how does a Pocket Cube looks compare to the original cube size.

 

The Pocket Cube (left) and the original cube.

 

It's very small but don't underestimate the puzzle that lies within...

 

As usual, the original logo that give the cube an original look.

I've tried the Pocket Cube and it was fairly easy to solve compare to the original cube. Perhaps it's the size I guess. Anyway, I was only given the original cube as a present since I've managed to solve the original cube but the Pocket Cube was only as a test as my boss bought it for his son because I broke the other Pocket Cube when I was trying to solve it but I was doing it too fast. Ah... Careful...

Drink Designs

I can't help sharing with everyone about these designs that I found on canned drinks and bottled drinks. Like my previous post I was showing some designs by Pepsi and here's some more. I'm not sure if it's available in Malaysia.

Here's the front and side shots of the canned drink. A flowery design eh?

Spread some love baby!

Diet Pepsi with 1 calorie! (Not the solution to diet though...)

Here's a design for a water bottle.

It's very cold and nice to drink. I like the unique design!

I've done it!

I've started twisting and turning but it won't let me go. I try again and again but it ended up in a failure. It is slowly eating my mind, taking my soul and leaving me in an eternity of emptiness as I can't think of any way to escape it's clutches of infinite puzzle. I lose my confidence, my life and my pride. I didn't know what to do. All these years it haunts me and it's been a heavy burden to me... No matter how many times I destroy it, it will always be with me. Forever...

But now, I have been released from its torment! I am free! Free from your mind twisting puzzle! Hey folks, it's just a Rubik's Cube. Yes the Rubik's Cube... It has been around for ages and it's a very tough puzzle. Well of all the places in the world, I manage to solve it with the help of my manager. He was really good at it. He solved it in less than 3 minutes! Well, it's not a world record but for me that's quite fast. Here are some photos for those who want to know what is Rubik's Cube.

On the left is 2x2 cube called 'Pocket Cube' and on the right is the 3x3 cube called 'Rubik's Cube'

A different angle on the cube and the sticker peeled off as I have trained furiously to solve it!

This is me holding both cube after solving both one after another

Other than that I have also manages to solve another puzzle by Rubik's which is Rubik's Snake! Where you will have to make from a straight line into a ball. Still blur? Here are some photos to explain what I'm talking about. :)

 

This is a Rubik's Snake. It's more like a stick than a snake. So you got to tranform from this...

 ...to this. Get the idea?

Another angle on the 'Ball' shape.

So that's it about the Rubik's puzzle. If you want to know more about Rubik's puzzles, you can visit the official site here. It has the latest updates as well as ways to SOLVE (I know you want it...) the cube. Enjoy and good luck! :)

Hailstones?!

It was cold, raining and I have many pending works to do. About the rain, it's not a surprise anymore since I got used to it and I'm not surprised like before where I thought there's no rain here in the middle of the desert and I was surprised that it did rain! You can read it here on my previous blog about how surprise I was for the climate changes that happened in Qatar for me. It was totally unexpected for the climate here to have rained since it's the desert!

So back to my story where it rained heavily since morning and there was suddenly some banging like the droplets of rain sounded more like a stone! When I peeked out of the window of my office I start to see the raindrops more visible in white color! So I thought, "Wait! That is not raindrops?! It could not be that visible with a color!". So the banging gets louder and there were peoples rushing outside to see what was going on. I decided to join them and my thought was correct where it was hail!

Wow, that was the first time I've seen hail with my very eyes. It was small though. As big as an eraser on average. Kinda harmless but I hope there's none bigger ones at somewhere else because it can cause harm and property damages. Anyway, again... Doha seize to amaze me. Whoa...
