When Sambal Becomes Sriracha

Have you ever felt like you started to lose articulation and fluency of your own mother language?
If you have, then you feel what I'm feeling.
I just wanted to share a bit about how my Bahasa has become ever since I moved to US two years ago. It's kind of embarrassing to say that my English might have improved but I gradually started to lose my fluency and articulation in my own native tongue. How embarrassing and even ironic was that, seeing that I was even enrolled in Language Division back in high school for two years. Being in Language Division should make you one of the people that is rich of Bahasa vocabularies, which sadly I started to lose now.
