I want to add delay in this dropdown, so when the mouse is moved out, child menu still appear for seconds. I have try some tutorial out there, but it so confuse.
I dont want using any jquery dropdown menu for some reason. Can you help me how to make this happen using javascript.

Change all your :hover to a class (e.g. ".hover"). Add mouseover/mouseout events to add the "hover" class in a setTimeout. The setTimeout should check if the user is still hovering over the element.
I think what you're looking for is hoverIntent

This accomplishes what you want to do. If you are new to javascript, it will take some playing around with, but it isn't not that hard.
