To all you people around the world (so ambitious) we have to apologize for all the goofiness and the naiveness when we started being part of the Blogathon 2003. It is just that we daydreamed about fundraising and there it was Angie, with such creative stuff. Everything we collected in these 24 hours will go straight to Mgbala Agwa Youth Forum, Nigeria.

Margarita's! This is a recipe for Margarita's on the rocks that will make enough for two and a very pleasant dinner. The keys to an excellent margarita are fresh squeezed lime juice and lots of ice.

I don't think many people have heard of Lawas. But my cousin requested the story of my trip to Lawas. That's my father's uh birthplace or home.. villiage... or something... or where they hid during WWII. I think it's the latter. It's a fair drive from the state capital Kota Kinabalu, to Lawas. Then, you have to take a really shoddy looking boat to Lawas. I was about 10 when I went. I remember -

Now I don't really know much about Polish food. My friend just requested me to do it. I have 3 Polish friends (including her), but we don't really talk about Polish food. I just learn how to say silly things in Polish like, "You're crazy!". All I know about Polish food is that there are things called pierogi, and they use cabbage quite a bit in their food. Pierogi's one of their most famous

Wow... Malaysian culture. When I think Malaysia, I think "Who are Malaysians?" The three main ethnic groups in Malaysia are Malays, Indians, Chinese, and indigenous groups such as the Dayaks. Unlike our Singaporean neighbours where it's more Chinese meets West, Malaysia is an Asia meets West country. The national language is Bahasa Melayu (Malay), but people can also speak Chinese and/or Indian

The Sesame Street Count Brought to you by Count Ange, for Anya~ You know that I am called the Count. Because I reeeeally love to count. Sometimes I sit and count all day. But oh! Sometimes I get carried away! I count slowly. Slowly. Slowly, getting faster. Once I started counting, it's very hard to stop. Faster, faster, it is so exciting. I can count forever, count until I drop! HAHA! One two

Hey, This will probably be a long entry and different from the ones Angela is writing about. I am a member(Yasemin from Turkey) of the Omega Team helping out our dear Angela : )) Why will it be a different entry: Becaue I fell in love just 2 hours ago. Soooo I will write about a love song. Now I feel the need to talk to someone but all my friends are asleep now so u will have to bear with me.

Just some funny comments on Chinese food: How to pronounce Hokkien noodles: The right way is Ho-key-en noodles.

At 11pm/12pm at night, when we were sleeping at the school (North Albion Collegiate Institute, Etobicoke, Toronto) our fire alarm went off. A lot of the girls who were sleeping ran out of the fire exits. The boys.. well I don't know... I guess they were walking. We all gathered outside, and low and behold, it was just a fire drill. The above picture is of Mike, who was sleeping and thought it

I had never had 'real' Middle Eastern food until the neighbours moved in 5/6 years ago. My neighbour was tutoring me in Chem and Intro. Calc. cos I found it boring. We gave them some fruits I think. Then the next day at lunch time, they carried a couple of plates of Persian food to our house. The food is great! If you haven't had it, you should try it. ps-Mona, I'm still waiting for an English

What can I say about Singapore? I've been there probably like, over 10 times! In fact my first 4 Christmases were spent in Singapore for some strange reason - I'm not even Singaporean. So it's really hard to think up of one story. My girl friend suggests shopping and food. Hmm... this will be hard - Singapore has great shops! A huge shopping centre thingy is Takashimaya. It's so big, and so good

I swear to God, I have totally utterly murdered this song. It's really hard to sing when its 1:38am, when people are sleeping. So I tried to sing softly, not to wake people up. I'm so not in tune. Argh! Oh well... don't listen to it! You'll regret it! Vegemite Song (*.wav format) Long live Vegemite! It may taste really bad to non-Australians, but hey, it's good stuff! Honest!

Thanks for that lovely post Bryn. I'm not too sure about making angels blush though... Well what can I say about Penang, Malaysia? I’ve only been there once... 3 years ago, I think. A famous beach, Ferringhi Beach (spell?) is so hyped up but it’s so shoddy! It’s really small... it’s incomparable to Australian beaches, especially those in WA. :) WA's beaches ROCK!

Hmmm... what shall I say about Hong Kong? I went there in 1998, with my mum, brother, and his friend Irwin. Oh I know :) The shopping is TERRIFIC! It claims to be like, the Milan of Asia. If you want a bargain for clothing, go into the back streets. It's considerably much cheaper than in normal department stores (unless they're having a sale). We stayed in Hong Kong for a couple of days - just

MMMM yum.... this is probably Taiwanese too, cos the only time I've had milk tea is at my Taiwanese friend's house! Steps: 1) Make that special red tea, which is also used to make bubble tea. ("poa ba nai cha") 2) Put milk in it... to your liking 3) If you want flavoured mik tea, go for it. You can also put milo in it to make it chocolatey. Mmmmmmm... chocolate.... milk tea.... *

She missed her 2nd Cup Coffee (she hates Tim Hortons *shocked*). Then somehow along the line, whilst she was in Australia, she met many Brits and discovered the wonders of tea. I'm still trying to

Tonight I went to my friend's bday party. Very smart, I know. During dinner, the birthday girl asks our friend Mich how her trip back to Indonesia was. Then she tells us she went to London too, for a week. We were all amazed, cos she didn't tell us anything! She retorted, "Didn't Aileen tell you anything??" Hmm... you're our friend Mich.

I had the opportunity to stay there last July as part of "Days in the Diocese" for World Youth Day. It’s in southern Ontario, Canada – quite near the border to the USA. In fact, the closest major city to St Cat’s is Buffalo, New York! I have to say, the people there are sooo nice, you just don’t want to leave them!

You know... bubble tea... it's Taiwanese. You can get it at Easyway Cafe and Utopia in Northbridge... they're actually opposite each other but Easyway is value for money in my opinion. So how do you make it at home? 1) Cook the bubbles (ie, sago) by boiling it. You can buy sago at Asian food shops. 2) Make the tea. The tea isn't normal tea. It's a special red tea pronounced "poa ba nai cha",
