If you are making ANY pauses during cross+F2L your look ahead is not good enough

What if i'm at around 1:20(LBL + 4LLL)(haven't really ''''mastered'''' the 4LLL but it' already in the sub conscious mind Cheesy)

Start F2L? Or memorise all of the PLLs first?

Alfz, you just need more practice. I think when you're getting into 4lll you should at least be right at sub-minute.

Just did some quick cubing last night

Actually it's around 1:28 (including the 15second inspection time)..so it's around 1:15-1:20

So i keep doing that until i reach 1 minute~ ?

And the lockups takes up A LOt of time  Angry Angry Angry

Are you locking up because your spinning the slices so fast and over/under turning? if you are, you really need to go SLOWER, and concentrate on smooth rhythmic motions.

Not really

Sometimes when i do R U' R' , i can't even get to do the first R. Cube looks almost perfectly aligned, just the small small turn in some face that prevents me from turning. getting irritating lol

Alfz, I am not trying to "sell my product" but you may need a DIY cube.  Here is why.

A DIY cube has tension springs which allow the center caps to have some give to them and allows you to cut corners more easily. (Cutting corners is the same thing as making a turn where otherwise the mis-alignment of the cube wouldn't allow)

I'll make a video on this very soon.  I hope more people will finally understand why DIY's are better.
