Fever/Flu attacking joints/bones?

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.

Exciting learning technique at SMPK 7!

I've been an English teacher for five year 8 classes here at SMPK 7 Sunrise Garden, W. Jakarta, since mid-July 2008 as a substitute class. I was a teacher at SMP Regina Pacis in 1993-1996, and at SMPK 5 BPK PENABUR Bandung in 2005-2007, yet I felt a bit nervous here.
After two weeks of struggles and patience with these cheerful, a bit talkative class, finally I have found a way to cheer them up. Oral quiz!! By using the module 1 in "Challenges", these youngsters were crazy for raising their hands to answer vocabulary (synonyms, opposites/antonyms/translations) and some reading comprehensions on the topic "Boarding Schools". At least 25 questions in 30 minutes.
Gee. What a bit noisy interaction. I wish the other classes next door had not been disturbed. I truly enjoyed my new finding about what kind of activity matched their appetite ;)
Now, got to think of what I will be doing with those not having points as only 15 of 37 students in each class, on average, have got some points. Mmm ... any idea? Pointing them one by one?
