Faxai

That is the name of the typhoon that is hitting Japan right now.. It has not stopped raining since yesterday afternoon.. The weather outside is between 17 to 14 degrees, with the wind and rain.. :o

Completed two translation jobs today.. was listening to classical music while doing it.. The strong wind was howling and gusting into my room through the tiny winy little gap I left between the windows and the rain was beating against them too.. And in this kind of atmosphere, listening to classical music is quite an experience.. :) Listening to Beethoven's 5th Symphony 1st Movement, Tchaikovsky's Concerto No.1 in B-Flat or Bach's Cello Suite 1 with the wind and rain beating away outside my window is quite something.. It adds to the whole majestic kinda of feeling.. :p

The day is getting shorter.. The sun is out for only about 5-6 hours a day.. Darkness creeps in from 5:30pm onwards..by 6pm, it is as dark as it can possibly can be.. The day stays in the range of 20 degrees or lower.. Personally, between the rain and the wind, I would take the wind.. being cold is bad enough, I don't need the wetness to add onto the misery.. And it is no fun carrying an (wet) umbrella in a packed train during rush hour..

Anyway, according to the weather station, the rain should stop by tomorrow morning.. well, let's see how accurate is its forecast.. ;)
