“Love is a temporary madness, it erupts like volcanoes and then subsides. And when it subsides, you have to make a decision. You have to work out whether your roots have so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part. Because this is what love is. Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement, it is not the promulgation of promises of eternal passion, it is not the desire to mate every second minute of the day, it is not lying awake at night imagining that he is kissing every cranny of your body. No, don't blush, I am telling you some truths. That is just being "in love", which any fool can do. Love itself is what is left over when being in love has burned away, and this is both an art and a fortunate accident.”

“Love is a temporary madness. It erupts like an earthquake and then subsides. And when it subsides you have to make a decision. You have to work out whether your roots have become so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part. Because this is what love is. Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement, it is not the promulgation of promises of eternal passion. That is just being "in love" which any of us can convince ourselves we are. Love itself is what is left over when being in love has burned away, and this is both an art and a fortunate accident. Your mother and I had it, we had roots that grew towards each other underground, and when all the pretty blossom had fallen from our branches we found that we were one tree and not two.”

I studied Mandarin in high school; the writing, pronunciation, etc. But because I don't routinely use it so now I forgot. :DDD
Actually, I don't really like Indonesian song. There's only a few are really good. But if you love to hear Indonesian pop songs (especially band's song), try to hear Peterpan Band, Ungu Band, Ada Band, etc. I don't really a freak about them, but I know a little bit because they have big fans here. LOL
Bahasa Melayu (or Malay) in Malaysia and Indonesia is different. There's some words that we don't use in our standard language or even our daily conversation. But for some areas in Sumatra, which is adjacent to Malaysia, the dialect in their area is almost like Bahasa Melayu in Malaysia.
Overall, the Malay language remains the same. Indonesian people can still understand a little bit Malay language in Malaysia. And vice versa. It seems like we come from the descendants of a common ancestor.

To be honest, I self-studied most. I only studied French formally in college but aside from that I actually learned a lot better and faster if I self study. I l;ike to learn Indonesian or Bahasa Melayu because I really like to know what do the songs of Radja means.. =P I love them so much!
Can you suggest really beautiful love songs in Malay? And is Bahasa Melayu and Indonesia very different?

Wow! You certainly speak my language fluently I guess.
Of course, it's such an honor to help you. But, I'm not a good translator. There are some situations where I find English and although I understand the meaning, I find it hard to translate into my language. LOL
I see you speaks many languages, did you learn those languages by yourself?

well, if you help me translate a poem into Indonesian I will be so happy...
I love Radja! I love the songs Wahai Kau cinta, Jujur and Tulus. I memorized them all! I so love your language!
Yeah, I'm from Indonesia!So, maybe I can say 'terima kasih' for adding me as your friend :) And Erin, you're a writer! Have you ever thought about writing a book in my language? :D
If you're new in here, don't worry! I also just recently became 'active' in Goodreads even though my account has been created since last year. Have fun! :DDD
