Your in-depth results are:

Hufflepuff - 10
Gryffindor - 9
Slytherin - 7

What D&D character am I?


Neutral Good Elf Ranger Paladin


Alignment:
Neutral Good characters believe in the power of good above all else. They will work to make the world a better place, and will do whatever is necessary to bring that about, whether it goes for or against whatever is considered 'normal'.

Race:
Elves are the eldest of all races, although they are generally a bit smaller than humans. They are generally well-cultured, artistic, easy-going, and because of their long lives, unconcerned with day-to-day activities that other races frequently concern themselves with. Elves are, effectively, immortal, although they can be killed. After a thousand years or so, they simply pass on to the next plane of existance.

Primary Class:
Rangers are the defenders of nature and the elements. They are in tune with the Earth, and work to keep it safe and healthy.

Secondary Class:
Paladins are the Holy Warriors. They have been chosen by a God/dess to be their representative on Earth, and must follow the code of that deity, or risk severe penalties. They tend towards being righteous, but not generally to excess.

Feeling under the weather...

Don't know why but have not been feeling very 元気 the last few days... been feeling feverish almost every night.. and my head seem very heavy too.. Have no idea what to do about it, except to slowly eliminate the possible causes one by one.. Everyone in my class wasn't feeling too well either.. I think it should be the weather..

It's hot like hell for a couple of hours, then suddenly it rains and the wind is freaking cold at times. No wonder they have summer holidays here.. It's not yet summer and already I don't feel like studying or doing anything.. Can't imagine how it will feel when it is really summer... unlike in Msia/Spore, where the rain does indeed cool down the earth and lower temperature, the rain here is more like a nuisance, it doesn't have any effect on the temperature but just make the whole atmosphere more miserable.. It's not heavy, as in raining cats and dogs, more often then not, it's like a quick shower.. irritating.. U can't go out without an umbrella, but sometimes it's too much of a nuisance to carry an umbrella for such a 'light' rain..

The lessons have become more difficult and the more I learn the more confused I get.. Everyone in the class felt the same.. After 2 months of learning the polite form of the Jap language, we were told that conversations and reports/thesis/newspaper are all in normal form!! No wonder we can't understand what the local Japanese are saying.. One of my Indon classmate said that it will take at least 6-9 months before one can understand and converse with the local Japanese. So I shall not be too hard on myself for not comprehending ordinary Japanese conversations... Slowly, all the 先生s are speaking faster and in longer and more difficult sentences during class.. As a consolation, I am able to understand (almost 90%) what the 先生s are saying in class now.. All thanks to the Japanese dramas I've watched so far.. they really helped in letting me being familiarized with the conversation speed.

Earthquakes..

Have been in Japan for more than 2 months now.. experienced a couple of earthquakes.. not too strong, just minor shaking..

The very first quake I experienced was during the night, around 9pm.. I was surfing the net then suddenly I felt as if I was getting nausea and the floor was moving.. I thought I was falling sick or something.. then I realised that the water in the pep bottle was moving.. It wasn't my imagination nor that I was sick.. it was an earth quake!! It lasted about 15 seconds.. During this time, I didn't see anyone panicking in the dorm so I just stayed in my room.. I don't want to look like a fool running out from my room when no one did.. the table in my room seems sturdy enough so if there is ever any big one, I know where to hide.. :)

懒散。。Lassitude...

Today is just the 2nd of the week, yet it felt as if I haven't had a good rest for a long time.. Am just feeling tired and lethargic.. Just got back from school.. was just teaching one of my Jap class classmates, a Korean lady, some Chinese in the school canteen and in the same time practicing my Japanese with her..

Went to Meiji Jingu again with classmates from my Jap class last Saturday. There are 4 of us, one American, one Finlander, one Korean and me... I will post some of the interesting pictures we took on that day soon..

So sian...
