Work and Studying

Before I started working , I keep hearing other people's complaints in regards of working and studying is tough as hell. At first , I will just listen and brush it off as if it is not true. But boy... I was wrong. Working and studying is ACTUALLY tough.

I am studying ACCA currently ( to other ACCA students , you know what I mean ) on a part time basis whereby my classes are mostly at night on the weekdays or early in the freaking morning on the weekends. At the same time I am working during the weekdays from 8.15am to 5.30pm. So basically by the time I get back home , I just wanna lie down on my bed and enjoy the soft soft owh dear soft comfy bed ~ Lol.

I took for granted all this while when I was a full time student back in the days. I can just wake up whenever I want to and will be at home whole day. The only thing I need to do is just study at home and some minor housework. Sounds simple right ? But what on earth was I thinking !? All I do was on Facebook all the time and practically do nothing at home. That explains why I am always bored ! Now I totally regretted it.

So the reason I am writting this post is to let you guys know , mainly my juniors, be appreciative of the time that you have as a full time student. I know you are gonna be just like me back in my early years, I will just read this post and will just go "nah ~ forget it ~" but hei , a little advice wouldn't hurt right ? Anyways , December 2012 is our next exam , so to those that have not paid their exam fees yet , better be quick otherwise you will be paying a huge sum of money. Best of luck and till next time, see ya :)

Rebirth of 888

I bought this yoyo in year 2007. At that time , 888 was considered a trend as in everyone wants one ( well maybe not everyone but most of them ). This yoyo has served me for 3 years and im still using it. However, this yoyo did sustain heavy damage... It even broke my tooth !! LOL !

After suffering so many "dings" , I decided to satin ( rim repair ) it. Previously my 888 looks like the picture below.

As you can see , there are lots of scratches and one half of the yoyo's colour is starting to fade away. Oh i forgot to mention the word "dings". "Dings" is a term used by yoyo players when there is a deep scar in the yoyo or even a scratch. The tools used to satin ( rim repair ) this yoyo is a coarse sand paper , fine sand paper, and a driller.

The coarse sand paper is to repair the deep scars and to make the surface even again. The fine sand paper is to smoothen out the surface so that its not so rough during play. Lastly , you will need the driller to sand off the yoyo's surface by clipping on to the axle , turn on the driller and start sanding off the yoyo's surface.

This would be the end result.

Here is the video for the whole process of satining ( rim repair ) of an 888.


By the way , this credit goes to Ryan Lim for giving me a hand in satining this yoyo. Thanks bro ^^

Genesis Review

Ello there readers , im sorry for the delay in posting something new in my blog.. Really sorry ^^ ... No worries though , today im going to do a review on Yoyofactory Genesis..

Recently, I bought 2 genesis. 1 is the purple acid wash directed by Miguel Correa and the other one is a Jon Rob's edition. Below is the picture and its details.

YYF Genesis 135 Stats:
Diameter: 56 mm / 2.20 inches
Width: 43mm / 1.69 inches
Response System: YoYoFactory K-Pad (Slim Pad)
Weight: 65.7 grams
Bearing Size: [Large] - Size C (SPEC Bearing)
[Small] - Size A (SPEC Bearing)

(stats is based on www.yoyoexpert.com)

Based on my personal experience , its a really really stable yoyo. When I first got it , my first impression was it has a great colour to it ! Awesome acid purple wash ! Hahaha .. Same goes for the purple splash on the green colour. lol. The surface is really smooth and its great for grinding tricks.

At first throw, immediately there is this feeling of I accomplish any tricks ! Seriously, I may make it sound exeggerating but thats truth ! It has a light feeling to it and it doesnt vibrate much as my 888. Its easier to land tricks cause the gap is bigger. Its about the same width as a Protostar. Give or take a couple inches ^^.

Its good for sidestyle tricks as well as hoping tricks( eli hops ). Its not so simple to do rejection though cos of the shape of the yoyo but its really easy to do regen ! The big bearing makes it spins longer... I suppose there isnt much different for the bearing part cause its the same as the other yoyofactory bearings ^^.

There isnt much problem with this yoyo except for the part that once you hit the yoyo on the ground, it might vibrate. Mine just hit the ground the other day and its kinda wobbling now... Im so sad bout that part T.T...

Overall, its an awesome yoyo and I love this yoyo very much. Its a revolution for me and I hope for those who have it will have the same experience as me ^^. Please leave a comment or any other suggestions ^^

Thanks for reading !!

Good Influences

Hi there readers, how have you all been lately ? Alright ? If you are then good ^^. Anyway, i came across this video in one of a famous singaporean yoyoing blog. Its a performance done by a senior yoyo player and a junior yoyo player. If im not mistaken, the message in the video is about potraying a good influence towards younger generation through yoyoing.

I find it impressive because believe or not, this is what we are doing here too in Malaysia. Unfortunately, there alot of obstacles, unsupportive parents, the culture ( and when i say culture, i do not mean race, but the way of living instead ), and most of all restricted access on purchasing a yoyo here....



So watch the video and let me know through the comments "what do u think ?". Till then, see you soon ^^ and keep yoing !!
