    Words can inspire, thoughts can provoke, but only action can get you closer to your dreams.

    Yes Injun was right. Perhaps it's just a Sumatra idiom as my friends outside of Medan in Riau and West Sumatra knew this too.

    Alia think about what the 1 maybe and what the five refers too? The clue is in Injun's post as the 5 includes the palm of the hand.
    It's a popular male past time. ;p

    The challenge is to be yourself in a world that is trying to make you like everyone else.

    I used to get pretty confused between angin & anging. So you can imagine the reaction when I used masuk anging instead of masuk angin once. Only after that mistake I realised & remembered the difference :P

    It would be a writing problem. Angin is pronounced ang-in while anjing is an-jing.

    Indonesian pronunciation is very simple. Unlike English where the pronunciation of "g" alternates between g & j depending on the following vowel (ga-gi-gu-ge-go is pronounced ga-ji-gu-je-go), it's always the hard "g". In English "c" alternates between k & s (ca-ci-cu-ce-co is pronounced ka-si-ku-se-ko), but in Indonesian that letter is always pronounced the equivalent of the English "ch".
