What a terrible week this time. After last week I had a few sneezes, last weekend I did not catch a cold, yet I suffered from a fever and I was shivering even at night. Never have I been paralyzed by such "light, seemingly harmless" influenza, and what surprised me is I have not been able to walk as fast as I could before. I have to do steps by steps slowly, feeling pain at my joints both the ankles, and wrists. Even my shoulders!
Luckily my foundation doctor, dr. Agus Sinatrawan, prescribed me two medicines to heal the flu and reduce the joint pain, on my very first report via sms on Sunday morning. Rest in Bandung for the full day, prepared to say goodbye to my 1.5-year boarding house the next morning, yet the pain at my joint refused to subside. To make it short, when I returned to Jakarta and had a meeting with some Board members, I had time to go to Bio Medika, jl. Arjuna, and had the pleasure to try out a wheelchair on my request, ha ha ..., and got my blood taken to test the rheumatics, uric acid (asam urat) and some blood check. Gosh! So anxious was I to have the result sent today afternoon.
FUNNY STORY:
Dr. Agus earlier that day prescribed me 4 extra tablets due to the continuing pain, and voila! This Wed. at 2 a.m., when I still could not sleep, I successfully walked down my bed in the Brilliant class dorm easily, spatted at least 4 blood-thirsty mosquitoes in my room, something which I could not easily do the other night due to my pain in my wrist and shoulder. Gee! Of course, it must have been the prayer in the boys dorm when we had a 9p.m. devotional time at the dorm.
I hope, guys, I could get back to my work normally. Please pray for me.

Comment on my 2-weeks-ago blogs:
It turned out I was diagnosed to be suffering from arthritis! Thank God it's not ulric acid nor rheumatics. Imagine whatever food I must skip to enjoy! ;)
Well, just returned from Bandung, spending a nite there, enjoying two sessions of Choir Festival held at ITB (Student B, and student A). What a day, so tiring, especially with my aching ankle and joints.
Congratulations to SMPK 5 BPK PENABUR Bandung for taking home a gold medal for Student B category. Later last nite I learnt from Ms. Iriana (Principal of SDK 11) that ELEVEN choir (SDK 11) got a silver medal, while Bethlehem PENABUR Bintaro GOLD, with JCYC (Jakarta) conducted by Rizal, my colleague, won a silver too. The champion winner goes to Karangturi Semarang (Student B) and Hosianna GKI Kebayoran Baru (Student A). Wow!!!
