still swolen

I'm back after a week! Thanks very much for the concerns I've received from all of you, friends. I am so much better than the last time I wrote. Yup! Sekarang sudah bisa jalan dengan 'rada' normal, tapi jempol masih bengkak, biru ungu plus kuku masih ga jelas keadaannya. Kalo kelamaan berdiri atau ga sengaja bertumpu pada jempol, rasa nyeri masih terasa.
Thanks to Lan, I can recover quite quickly. I am really touched and flattered by all his attention, patience and effort in taking care of me. For the whole week, I felt as if I was in my own private hospital with my very own doctor, chef, friend and helper. He cooked for me and provided me with meals three times a day, washed the dishes, got me whatever I needed, cheered me up and spoiled me with fancy and nice food. He is TOO good to be true! (That's what I always say to him, hehehe...)

Seminggu skripsi terbengkalai, tapi presentasi tetep harus jalan terus. Jadinya Jumat kemarin, selambat siput berjalan, aku ditemeni Lan ke kampus untuk presentasi. Untungnya para assessornya baik-baik, jadi aku boleh duduk selama presentasi, kalo ga gitu, ga kuat deh nahan pressurenya. Puji Tuhan presentasi berjalan mulus dan lancar. Malah sempet dapet advice yang bagus banget untuk progress project ini. Thank God!
Sempet juga jalan ke klinik di area kampus untuk check up karena takut ada infeksi. Jalan yang biasanya paling lama 15 menit sudah sampe, makan waktu 1 jam bolak balik. Gile dah... aku dalem ati sebenernya rasa sudah ga sabar pengen jalan cepet. Tapi si Lan kesenengan. Dia bilang: "Now you are even walking slower than my speed" Hehehe... emang biasanya aku kalo jalan cepet, sampe-sampe dia ngos-ngosan.
Jadinya seminggu ini aku kayak babi bayi, kerjanya makan tidur doank. Apalagi setelah ke klinik itu dibilang sama dokternya harus banyak berbaring; don't put too much pressure on the toe, otherwise it will bleed again and be painful. Plus obatnya bikin ngantuk tuk tuk... Abis minum obat, ga lama langsung ngantuk (lha wong dosisnya tinggi banget.)

Segitu dulu deh kabar dariku. Sekarang mo nyicil blogwalking. Sorry banget kalo mulai sekarang jam beredar bakal berkurang. Aku abis jatuh ketimpa tangga pula. *sob* Hard disk laptopku ada bad clusternya, jadi sekarang lambatnya ampun ampun!! So far not much I can do except to reduce the time using it, because I want it to survive for the next two months so that I can use it for my dissertation.
Jadi, bagi yang dateng ke sini minta dibikinin layout, sorry banget harus kutolak. Photoshop itu berat banget, jadi takutnya malah bikin keadaan laptop makin parah.

I thank the Lord for putting you into my life.
Though I never say it openly, I am amazed and grateful...
for who you are,
for your warmth, cares and loving kindness,
for always being on my side and protecting me; wiping my tears and cheering me up.
You... always succeed to put smiles on my face and fill my days with laughters.

I learn to understand the purity of your love...
through the sparkle of your eyes,
through the smiles on your face,
through the kisses of your lips.
I learn you are being true.

When you say: "Don't worry! Leave the worry to me."
You embrace me with warmth.

I learn, too, to cherish you...
to miss you,
to open my heart and give you space inside it.

I learn to say, with all my heart, "Lan, wo ai ni."
