Have you ever heard any of these? If not, see if you can work out what they mean by reading the text below.
What a dreamer Mbak Tatik is! She daydreams about this, she imagines that
. Sometimes the things she talks about are real. Sometimes they are not. When you see her staring out the window at nothing in particular, you know she has her head in the clouds. But actually some people at the Wisma are a little unhappy with her. Ari Wibowo came to the front office and asked about studying at the Wisma but Tatik had her head in the clouds and didn't persuade him to take the General Course. Yuan, Prima, Siwi - they were all angry with her. But she wasn't under a cloud for long. 'Mas' Ari came back the next day and asked for more information and Yuan, Prima and Siwi just so happened to be hanging out in the front office. So... every cloud has a silver lining!Can you figure out what the expressions mean?
