green leafy vegetables (e.g. broccoli, but not spinach), white flour, figs, oranges,(ground sesame seeds) and calcium-set tofu are good sources of calcium. You can even get it from drinking hard water.

My humble opinion: supplements / easy substitute like soya milk

Soya bean milk. Try to drink daisy milk. It doesn't taste like milk. Taste like vanila ice-cream and it is best for those who hated the taste milk same as me. U should try it.

take calcium in tablet form

soya bean curd,milk and lots of' murangka',it's leaves also r very gd.

I consume normally mix chocolate powder with milk as i & my sister not really like the taste of milk.

soya bean milk

soya bean curd. Drum sticks and it's leaves are also avery good source of calcium

if you don't like the taste of the milk (cow milk) you can drink soy milk as a substitute. plus soy milk is recommended for those who are allergic to cow milk.

This is pretty cool! Who knew we could get calcium source from eating raisins and orange. But i still think we should consume milk itself or add milk in our drinks like coffee, tea or milo. That should be good enough. It's best to consume low fat milk. I once hated the taste milk too but i finally got around it!
Luckz!
