The Awakening - post sickness
“Wake up you.. wake up! We have to get out of here!”
- Imoen, Baldur’s Gate II
At long last, I have regained enough strength. Thanks for all those wishing for my my recovery 
My recent sickness was probably from overtiredness, coupled with the currently very cold weather here. My schedule is actually to sleep at 10 PM every day, but most of the time I slept after 00:00. The lack of sleep piled increasingly more and at some point my mortal body just couldn’t bear it. Cold, vomiting, you name it…
A little tip for you if you get a cold. When things are in order, I always prefer to let the disease heal naturally. But when an emergency measure is required, Panadol seems to take care of the job. After you take one, it literally drains the consciousness left in you so you sleep and while you sleep you’ll sweat a lot as if having a nightmare. But it does seem to work wonder in getting rid of the cold faster.
So, well, I’ll try to get enough sleep from now on. Sleeping at 10 and waking up at 5 should give me a sufficient 7-hour rest (what’s yours?). Ah, and more exercise as my good old friend Tri said.
Anyway, my pal Wim posted his final paper a while back, and that only reminded me to do the proper final ritual for mine also, which is to unleash it on the net. It’s a web-based Japanese IME and I’ll try to prepare it the following days.

Welcome back dear Agro, it is nice to read this well done blog. If only I can suggest you something; that would be asking you to change your theme.
Here is one of such a good one:

Oh yeah, when will you give me some grammar shock therapy. Some guys had told me that my grammar is horribly poor. Do me a favor fellow … please. Is there any tips or trick to polishing my grammar skill?

Hehehe themes… Yes, currently all my blogs use the default theme. I do plan on changing the theme later on so thanks for that recommendation.
Grammar shock therapy? Well, all you need is to write a lot and get people to tear through your grammar mistakes. How do you get people to correct you? The best place is of course at http://lang-8.com/ where you write posts and your friends correct you. I use it to polish my currently-broken Japanese
For example see my heavily corrected post here: http://lang-8.com/?m=pc&a=page_fh_diary&l=en&target_c_diary_id=13411 (the blue and red markers are corrections)
But in reciprocal you must also help others, for example native English speakers studying the Indonesian language :).
Good luck
