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?

Minor updates: New comic / Jemufo and Marriagebot / Nicholas
It's been a near-sleepless week for me, so much stuff going on.

Amongst other things, I've started a photography project with a friend (developing phase now); and my illustration on PAS's balancing act launches a new Comics & Cartoons column in The Nut Graph. It's a last minute illo (I changed it v late) done mostly on touchpad. I nearly drove myself nuts.
Webcam does many wonderful things, and I caught up with Jemufo over the weekend. She's studying in Spain now, and learning the language.
This means I can now not-understand her tweets in Hungarian and Spanish. She could be bitching about me for all I know.
I haven't seen her face for so long, she has hair now! Well, by her botak standards anyway. I asked her good questions like what the girls in Spain are like, and she asked me difficult ones like where Melbourne is on the map.
Our second anniversary for our Facebook open-relationship is coming up. It's so wide open, we're not even dating. However, Marriagebot suggests that she will marry me, whereas I will wed my best friend. It also says I'll marry Daph, Nessa and Risha; all my best (and heterosexual) friends from Ipoh.
Jemufo didn't make the list (sorry baybeeee).
Nicholas is in Melbs for a week. Most of our conversations when we meet up begin with "I need coffee" and end in whatever cramped little cafe I've chosen to drag us to. Pic is when I brought him to see some graffiti laneways after, yes, good coffee in a cramped little cafe.
