Because I use a lot of Indo on this mostly English site, here's some lingo for the uninitiated:abang=big brother
ade/adek=younger sibling (gender neutral)
bete/bt=a negative emotion, usually irritation or a bad mood
cewe/ce=slang for girls
cowo/co=slang for boys
ja'im (jaga imej/image)=guarding your social image
kakak (pronounced kaka')=older sibling (gender neutral, or female, depending)
--kak (ka')=honorific for older siblings or 'sempai'
kuliah/kul=college
gwe (sometimes gw, gue)=slang for I or me
SD=elementary school
SK (sometimes es-ka; setia kawan): solidarity, loyalty (among friends) skul=school
SMA=high school
SMP=middle school
TK=kindergarten
wa=slang for I, me (same as 'gwe')
what are all those 2s? this is shorthand for a 'kata ulang' or repeated word. ngakak2 is read ngakak-ngakak= laughing very hard
any words that need to be added?

*ring ring*
Setting up my phone line is taking ages.
Sorry.
I know that AI fic comp resul is months late . . . . *cries*
But this will amuse you, and maybe make you guys pity me me enough to forgive the ga-tau-diri lateness of things I promised to do speedy-fast.
things wrong in bart's pad:
1. front windows leak.
2. front windows don't open. Or rather, once open can't be closed.
3. toilet doesn't flush--you have to open the tank and finangle the levers.
4. fridge lining doesn't seal, rendering it useless
5. fridge smells of mushrooms
Then, the very afternoon after I'd been joking about what else could go wrong:
6. bathroom ceiling has started to drip
Gwah!
Then theres my neurosis, that makes me keeps all curtains shades, etc drawn . . . . I thought my high kitchen windows were safe, but the other day a face suddenly appeared in them. Agh! It was the landlord, climbing around on ladders back behind the building--don't ask me why. Those windows were my only source of natural light, and now I'm going to have to rice-paper them up.
I tell you, it was just lucky I had pants on. XP To give you an idea of the state in which I hang about my apartment: Whenever I pick up a pair of pants, my dog thinks we're going for a walk.
I live alone, so who cares, but now that kitchen window Is freaking me out. I just moved in, but damn, I can't wait to move out.

7. ceiling is painte a hideous smudgy combination of bright blue and purple. (and I don't lightly use the word 'hideous'.)
8. front door sticks, so you need to pull it sharply to close it.
8.5, Landlord complains of the noise sticky front door makes.
Ga tau diri de kau!!! Grrrr~
