Traditional Catholics are exactly like the Muslims, fasting during daylight and the Hindus, abstinence from meat. It has been, the 4th week of me fasting, and I've been reduced weight, my healthy partially ruined and my cravings became that strong! Can somebody give me some advice on fasting such as this?

Many people are now considering "removing" Japan from Asia, considering the fact that Japan is far too advanced to be called Asian, and even too Westernised (that their Calendar is totally Gregorian) to be called Oriental. No culture comes close to matching Japan. Not even Koreans (they're more Chinese than Japanese) or Mongolians (they're more Altaic).

Japanese have Katakana, used primarily for transcription, especially from English. Examples are like: "Aisurimonti" (Ice Lemon Tea) and "Osutoraria" (Australia), unlike other Asian language that has own native words and minimal borrowal.

UK has come a long way since the days of colonisation, to the formation of the British Commonwealth, to the Magna Carta treaty, etc. which is said to become the top contributor of UK being a multicultural and worldly-respected power-house. UK influence skyrocketed even more since September 11, being that UK has more tolerance to all her people despite taking a greatr approach of caution. Even more, after the 7/7 bombings in London, the British government did say that they were not intimidated by such terrorism acts, proving that all attempts by terrorist to terrorise the British had failed. Also, more and more universities around UK are making open entries for distinctive undergraduates. Profitable Plots invite people about 5 top Commonwealth Countries to invest. Also, top certifications such as UCLES, C&G, BTEC, etc. all comes from the UK. British Council also play an important role of introducing British Culture worldwide.

My question is, will UK become the next International focus?

Lunar New Year is approaching soon, and the Sino-Oriental communities are already preparing to usher in the new Lunar Year. Amongst some must-do activities include Spring-Cleaning. This year the first day of the Lunar New Year falls on 7 of February 2008.

Some info first, before question begins: The Sino-Oriental people that celebrates the Lunar New Year includes the Chinese (largest group Celebrating this festivity - Known as Xin Nian in Mandarin Chinese), Vietnamese (Tet), Koreans (Seollal) and the Mongolians (Tsagaan Sar). Japanese used to celebrate Lunar New Year until five years after Meiji Restoration Period in 1873, following the New Year of the Gregorian Calendar.

My question is: Why do Mongolians generally deny any Chinese origin or influence, despite the fact that Lunar New Year originated from the Chinese Calendar?

(Note: Lunar Calendar was created even before the Chinese Colonisation upon Mongolia.)

The lyrics goes like "Girl... she's cute, Girl... she's cute" and it was sung in baby language...

Like, I've been into the sports cars dealer showroom before.

Although feeling uninvited as I was penniless and looking like an "under-age", that feeling melted away when the sales-people still welcomed me in, and treated me equal to an aristocrat...

Many European, Asian, African and Australian nations have featured Penang for Malaysian visit. How about USA and the rest of Americas (Besides Canada and Argentina, as I've seen their wonderful promotion before)?

China is now growing at a very rapid pace. In a few years' time, China will be able to overtake many of the ASEAN countries. Within 50 years,China will be able to match up with many of the advanced nations. That is, if they are able to make a real breakthrough in; especially, quality control and self-investments.

My Question is: How do you think your country fair if compared to P. R. China, if referred to the news everyday?

Malaysia, for example, is now switching dependences towards China's economical boom. Malaysia may need to cope with English language (sorry, but it's the truth) because I've heard China's Chinese speaking accurate English before in Kuala Lumpur and they are very dilligent to learn from mistakes and improve...

Ada tak mana-mana persatuan yang mengenali budaya Peranakan di luar P. Pinang ataupun Melaka?

Is there any association that recognises the Peranakan (Baba-Nyonya) culture away from Penang or even Malacca?

Saya bertanya, sebab saya rasa terpinggir ketika berada di Kuala Lumpur dan tempat-tempat lain di sekitar Lembah Kelang, maka saya rasa terhina dan perlunya saya selesaikan masalah ini...

I ask, because I felt rejected (by others) while I'm at Kuala Lumpur and other places about Klang Valley, therefore I felt insulted and I need to solve this problem...

I'm living in Malaysia and the Czech Koruna is not exchangable or sold in my country. Does any nation, especially within Asia sells such currency? And how do I get it into Malaysia, 'cause I'm not planning to leave my country for now.

The song sounds like it was sung by babies/young children, with lyrics that sounds like "Girl... She Cute...!" and... oh, it's too cute! Can anyone tell me the title?
