Hail Indonesia!


Thank God for Indonesians. Really. I have absolutely no idea what my condition would be like now without the Indo-scholars as my friends.


By my narrow perception of Malay and Bahasa Indo, to me, Bahasa Indo has always been spoken faster, or at least, takes longer for me to translate. And I have been translating Bahasa Indo for like 4 years and 7 months. And every time I translate so I understand, I develop my speed hearing. And when I need to translate Malay, I hear it so slowly and I have time to translate.


During the oral exam a few weeks ago and the listening comprehension exam today, where translating spoken Malay was mandatory, my developed translating speed picked up every word they said.


God bless Indonesia for providing me with wonderful friends who have unknowingly helped me in my Malay. Like I said in the previous post, who can do without friends?


Every challenge that comes our way,
It's possible to do it, finish it, alone.
But for every friend
Who lends you a hand
Halved is the difficulty till it becomes none.
~ A Limerick I created, that many have expressed in different words, in different forms, but containing a truth that remains true till this day, and will do so for eternity. ~
