I've been wanting to try this out. haha.
am gonna start to reduce my sleeping hours, and converting to a polyphasic sleep. my aim is probably a core sleep of 3 and a half hours, with naps through the day (which is rather possible since i nap when i'm on the bus).
i'm just concerned that it'll affect my alertness and mental speed in solving questions. haha. and i'm slightly reluctant to go through a period of mental fuzziness (according to research, most people go through a period of 2 weeks of adjustment where they experience fatigue and the desire to go back to sleep. after the two weeks, the body adjusts and is able to be of the same state as how it was like before).
i'll be sleeping for quite a long time 7 and a half hours a day for around 3 days, before cutting down the hours to 6 and a half hours. haven't planned out the rest of the nights, but i guess i'll type out how the experience goes along the way :) yay!

today i went to Gotoh sensei's class instead of my normal sensei. it was my first time with this sensei and i didn't know what to expect. hahaa.
at first glance, she didn't look as well-dressed as how japanese senseis would be dressed. in fact, she looked a little out of sorts. hahaa. and her style was rather different from kakihara sensei's.. so it felt slightly off. hahaa.
but through the lesson, i started to understand why her students kept coming back to her class. haha. she's rather quirky! and to be honest, she reminds me of me! hahaa. i really like her energy and her sharing and her making fun of the students in the class and being blunt about things in her life. haha. i really liked her way of talking too (it was japanese! with all its super shortcuts and stuff, and she didn't bother to check if we really understood... though she would add on if she realized we didn't. haha) class was great fun today.. haha. i like kakihara sensei a lot too! but both of them have different styles :)
so fun. hahaha

I've decided to note down my sleeping patterns, in the hope that I can transit to a polyphasic sleeping pattern in the future :) I figured it would be easier for me since my work schedule is rather irregular. Haha. Another reason why I'm doing this is cos I realized that I tend to have a natural inclination towards doing my chores at night (like my body feels motivated to want to clear up my room before I sleep), and that's something that I totally am not motivated to do in the day at all.
Shall see how it goes :)

i think there might actually be more than 4 different forms of love in the world. hahaa.
i would guess that most of the forms of love I experience are under affection and friendship.
there are times when i mistake charity for affection/eros, but at the end of the day, the test of time shows it to be otherwise.
i've figured that even in affectionate love, there exists different forms and degree as well. and what do you call a combination between affection and friendship?

i think sometimes people don't understand that when i give, the friendship that I have with you as a person is already my gift in return. i think sometimes people don't understand the seriousness in which i treat the relationships around me either.

it's interested (and disturbing) to observe how people change in different situations...
