Busy with studies at the moment, lots of work and bugger all time, so much to relief of some not much to say. Speaking of time:
Some time sensitive Bahasa Indonesian Words:
Nanti = Later On
Sebentar = Later On but before “Nanti”
Belum = Not Yet and before Sebentar
Besok = Tomorrow or mean tomorrow’s tomorrow or tomorrow's tomorrow's tomorrow..
Any more???
If you really want to get confused try Sabtu Malam or Malam Sabtu....Sabtu means Saturday, Malam means night but the same time??..Sorry you miss out by a day.
Ok off to make myself smarter?..Enjoy the picture of sunny Sumatera..

It's really very simple:
nanti = later
sebentar = in a moment
belum = not yet
besok = another day (not necessarily tomorrow)
as to sabtu malam and malam sabtu:
is easy to remember because if you say the 'night' (malam) before the day (sabtu) it must be the night before the day (so the night before saturday) but if you say the night (malam) after the day (sabtu) its the night following the sabtu (so saturday night)
uh, simple right? *confused*
Or remember the phrase "malam mingguan" is to go out saturday nights as a remind which is which.
oh and you forgot 'lusa' (the day after tomorrow).
