Everyman Cycle Attempt: Uber fail

Well i can't say if its ineffective but i didn even have the discipline to complete the first day cycle lol. Not suited for this kind of stunt lol.

Everyman Cycle: Day 1

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyphasic_sleep

Not exactly a good time to start, but if it works, den more time for mugging =).

Normally my sleep range from 5 to 10hours, but more towards the latter range lol. So if i can succeed in adopting everyman sleep cycle, it gives me 6 more hours to play dota than usual.

Planning the sleeping schedule is xiong, having to adjust the nap timings according to events, lessons, arsenal matches, etc. 1 took like 1 hour to do a 1+month schedule planning.

Even tho day 1 isn't even over, im already feeling kinda tired in the day liao after the first 30mins nap lol. However i dun feel that bad currently after my 2nd nap, but still feel kinda weird. I will assess my condition after a week to see if i should continue experimenting with polyphasic sleep.

Anyway my implementation of Everyman cycle is

• 3 hour core nap
• 7 hours awake block
• 30mins nap 1
• 6.5 hours awake
• 30mins nap 2
• 6.5 hours awake

So tempted to go back to my bed and enjoy some 16hours of sleep lol.

NTM activation for RT

The time was 4pm. I was still carelessly rolling in bed, enjoying the last few, best minutes of sleep. Routinely, i reach out for my phone for my pre-waking up activity, n read thru the facebook and tweeter feeds that happened while i was in lala land. At the corner of the screen, i noticed that there was something very wrong.

4:00PM

The NTM instinctual reflexes, honed from my experiences in army, kicked in and instantly change, get ready and left hse.

4:05PM

It's pedal to the meteal all the way. 5 minutes was all it took frm waking up, changing, prep equipment and finally set off for the destination. Swerving into different lanes at high speed. I had reached the expressway before i could catch my breath.

"Not fast enough."

I hear a voice in my head. Ignoring logic and reasoning, i replied, "But any faster i will get into an accident and die!"

"Then die."

That was the spark. I could not feel my hands, my feet, the steering wheel and pedals. But i had better control than i ever experienced before. I've become one with the car. I overtook countless other vehicles, slipstreamed, slingshot, entered hyperspace. I think i can make it.

4:10PM

I think this session of "Time Attack", i can set new personal high score liao. But it was a false dawn. I noticed that the cars in front are braking. Seriously? Traffic jam?

4:19PM

Traffic jam again, outside the camp.

AFAX 2010 2nd day

Wake up damn early, but still nt as early as initially planned haha. but neways managed to reach ard 9am. wah bloody lot of ppl sia.


Queue frm 1 end to the other side, and even extending into one of the "events room"

as u can see frm the pictures, that's the other end of the imba queue -.-


after getting in, gt another queue again for the screening for the disappearance movie sia

only manage to get like.... i think row M seats. Nt like on the first day we get imba front row seats haha

So proceed to watch The Disappearance of Suzumiya Haruhi.


i rmb years back, when i read the novels. this volume was so exciting. i read until 5~6am in the morning, 1 shot clear to the end. this volume imba. surprises at every corner. not until the last 3mins of the movie den can catch a breath. it was a hell of a ride.


was scared that the movie will suffer frm terrible decay. since season 2 for some reason didn seem to be very entertaining. recently also gt UBW movie, whose original work was so imba, but the movie adaptation wasn't THAT good, tho seems like its good enuff to get some ppl interested in the original series.


so GLAD that it turned out to be quite PERFECT lol. very entertaining, tho dun hav the excitement like when i first read it, but hw to surprise some1 who already know wads gonna happen lol. but everything was done nicely.

i like it they have those little subtle funny scenes, such as the 1 where haruhi drive kyon away frm getting warmth frm the heater, so he had to go to the CPU and warm his hands there lol.

introduction, delivery and conclusion, all wonderful.

very quite happy with the movie. despite afa x being a little quite DISAPPOINTING, i wouldn mind to see it as i paid $30 simply for disappearance haha.

Den watch the cosplay competition. To tell the truth, watching years of cosplay competitions, i think probably  only 5% was good. the rest i can only say i applaud their courage xD. But its nt easy serious. Firstly, doing a imba replica of the costume is nt easy, especially when some ppl wan to chu stun. like this imba crazy gundam i saw last year

2ndly, need to do some skit/performance which is NOT CHEEZY, let alone entertaining.

Seriously, i think if a grp of girls cosplay as the k-on girls and perform a song nicely, sure win lol.

So neways, like usual, spent most of the time watching the cosplay contest feeling embarrassed for the contestants xD.

After that jus walk ard see stuffo. Many things see before liao leh, nuthin exciting also haha. ANYWAY i also jus came back frm AKIHABARA jus a few months ago, having visit the place 3 times on JCC? so its gonna take something SPECIAL to give me a shock.

This year also nt a lot of ppl cosplay, much lesser as compared to last year. Nvr took much picture, but heres 2 characters frm umineko no naku koro ni haha

Virgilia

Siesta 00

Aw why no ange ushiromiya?

also saw superpaper and eva-beatrice cosplays, but didn manage to take pictures haha.

Pretty much sums everything up haha. I think i can't be satisfied with attending AFA anymore, need to cosplay next year xD

cosplay as this lol

AFAX 2010

Went over suntec today at ard 1130 liddat. wah this year the main stage so big sia. like 2.5x bigger. the lighting and sound system also imba haha. glad the increase in entrance fee was reflected in the improvement of the event haha.

first up was watching the gundam 00 movie.

I only briefly watched season 1, but i guess that was enuff information for me to watch the movie. As compared to unlimited blade works movie, i think gundam 00 did a much greater job. At least it was exciting, whereas in UBW movie, they simply animate scenes which was awesome in the visual novel randomly. Well fate was a shorter route but they also cannot do properly with entire season, hard to imagine them doing a great job with a longer route, UBW. But the animation looks damn good haha.
However the ending of gundam 00 movie was wtf. i totally dun understand lol.

After that go queue up for the maido café. this year they doing skool theme tho, so nt really maido anymore haha. But in the end nvr get to go in. After waiting for 1 hour, i think i moved 3 steps. Need to go see kana hanazawa, ( if can't see link, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O0OBIAgdyFc instead ) at the main stage haha, so left the queue =(

hmmm ok la quite an entertaining watch, but i think last year when the k-on seiyuus came, it was more fun and stuff haha.

Didn eat breakfast and lunch. bloody hungry at this point of time. walk ard abit only, see the café queue longer than before, den i decide to chiong out and head for waruku for dinner haha.

didn take much pictures this year, neither is there a lot of cosplayers. Last year was crazy. i think like almost
3 : 7 ratio last year. this year more like 0.5 : 9.5.

quite tired anyway. gonna sleep early n wake up early. need to chop seats tml to watch disappearance the movie!!!!
