tolong, lalu, ngomong-ngomong, apakah "waktu itu" sama dengan "saat itu" dan "ketika"?

I will give you some examples:
SELAMA
Dia pergi selama satu minggu. (he was gone for a week)
Saya tinggal di Jawa selama tujuh tahun. (I lived in Java for seven years)
Dia telah mengantri selama tiga jam. (she had been waiting in line for three hours)
SAAT/ KETIKA
Saya terkejut saat sedang bermain dan tiba-tiba ibu berteriak. (I was shocked when I was playing and then suddenly my mother screaming)
Ketika saya berusia sepuluh tahun, saya sangat takut ular. (when I was ten, I was so afraid of snakes)
Kira-kira dua hari yang lalu, pada pukul tujuh, seseorang mengirim setangkai bunga mawar ke kantorku. Saat itu, aku sangat terkejut ketika menerimanya. (about two days ago, at seven, someone sent a rose to my office. At that time, I was very surprised when received it)
saat itu= at that time
ketika= when
saat= when/while
KALAU
kalau aku jadi kamu, aku tidak akan pergi kesana. (If I were you, I wouldn't go there)
kalau sudah besar, kamu mau jadi apa? (when you grow up, what do you want to be?)

"Selama" states lenght of time.
"Saat" and "Ketika" state specific time when some condition occurs.
"Kalau" means "If".
