  • S2 Ep.6 | Forever 21 (Heidi's Solo)

    🥣 BIG FAMILIES, NEXT CHAPTERS IN LIFE 🥣

    Not 5, not 6 but Heidi had 16 people living at her house at one point in her life. The fascinating part? They were all her relatives, while she was the youngest of the household. It was like a party everyday. Not a lot of people have their relatives living in the same city, but luckily for her, 90% of her relatives live in Vancouver. They're a loud and large bunch whenever there's a family gathering so it's rare for Asian families to all get along. It's best to cherish every moment with them. Tune in as Heidi talks about her big family, and how her friends are getting engaged, getting married and having kids. "Can time slow down? I'm not ready to become a fully grown adult yet. But I'm excited for the next generation of my family and close friends"

  • S2 Ep.5 | Not Gonna Hide My Pride (ft. Xinyu Yang)

    🥣 LOVE IS ALL THE SAME 🥣

    *wink wink* How you doin? Have I seen you somewhere before? OR NOT. *slowly walks away* Love is hard when it's not reciprocated. Though sometimes we just have to believe in it for it to happen naturally. As spoken rightfully by our guest this week, everyone deserves at least three chances. As long as those three chances don't continue to trigger a person's insecurities, the relationship will likely continue. This week we have a very good friend come on to talk about his version of love. Of course, we have our own versions, but this time around XinYu gives us a lot of insight on what he has learned in his love life so far. Make sure you listen all the way through because this time we're uncovering A LOT.

  • S2 Ep.4 | Ick-zema (Vivian's Solo)

    🥣 LIFE WITH ECZEMA 🥣

    There are times where no one will understand your current situation except you. There will be no one there to truly understand how you feel unless they've been through the same thing. Though every situation is different and every experience is different as well. This week is a bit special. We have one host talk about her experiences and what she finds important. Everything about self-care and the struggles of eczema. So if you want to know more about what eczema is or if you struggle with it yourself. This week will be extremely helpful. We always tell you to join our dim sum table to listen and engage in the conversations we have. Though, did you know there are a lot of foods people with eczema should actually avoid? Let us know if you know :)

  • S2 Ep.3 | Don't Cross My Lines

    🥣 BOUNDARIES 🥣

    DON'T CROSS THE LINE. Not everyone knows what to do or how to do it when something happens all of a sudden. Imagine something extremely uncomfortable happens. How likely are you to react to change the situation? Or, How likely are you to ignore it? Of course, each and every situation is different. But, you will always be in control of your own actions. By setting boundaries and understanding how you feel in that moment will help prevent unnecessary stress later on. This helps better your relationships, with not just others, but yourself. Personally, I think a lot of people brush this off but it's extremely important to set boundaries and rules for yourself. This week is special. We set boundaries and discuss the importance of how and when to use them. So make sure you grab some tea and sip along with us!

  • S2 Ep.1 | Jailed in with the RONA

    🥣 DURING AND POST COVID EXPERIENCE 🥣

    Hello guys! We are back with Season 2! And, we are excited to share our experiences again. To begin our season, this episode is not a regular story. This takes place at the start of March 2020, when everyone was locked under their own roof. Struggling. Running out of toilet paper, hoarding canned foods, and taking all the pasta there is in stores. This is a true story. This not just affected thousands and thousands of people, but it took over the world. We are talking about COVID-19. Pay attention, because this week is the week we talk about the unwanted, the evolved, and the infected. Heidi and Vivian both suffered through COVID-19, and so this week they share their experiences on how it affected them and their lives in Jan 2022. Health is very important and we hope everyone is safe + vaccinated. #vaxxed

    🥣 2021 BLOOPERS 🥣

    Happy New Year everyone! We want to express our gratitude once again to all of those who have been through our journey so far because, without you guys, we wouldn't have been able to keep doing this podcast. All of our episodes were pre-recorded and were edited into the released final episode, so of course we had a lot of mess-ups and hiccups during our recording. Now, you can listen to our 2021 wrap up of funny and little mess-ups during our recordings, hope this gives you a great laugh!

    Until next time, talk to you later!

  • Ep.21 | HoHoHo 好好好 (Christmas Special)

    🥣  CHRISTMAS SPECIAL 🥣

    🎵 We wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! 🎵

    Hello listeners! It's been a while and we have resurfaced from the winter snow for a Xmas special episode. We talked about what our families do, what we do with our friends and what we do for ourselves during the season. Remember to leave your milk and cookies for Santa, but maybe a bowl of hot congee would be even better. Nothing beats a hearty meal than a perfectly warm toasty bowl of congee in the winter.

    Stay tuned as we will return real soon!

  • Ep.20 | Love Yourself (Season 1 Finale)

    🥣  SELF LOVE 🥣

    Welcome and thank you for joining us at the Bojoke Self Care Spa! We hope you had a wonderful experience with our services and enjoyed your time here relaxing, relating back to our topics, and most importantly laughing with us on our silly stories. Sometimes it's definitely necessary to talk or listen to stories/experiences that make you laugh and take you out of reality for a short period of time. Our services not just offer funny talks and extravagant stories, but a community that supports everyone for who you are and accept what our differences are.

    Sadly, Bojoke Self Care Spa is closing its doors for now, but we are going to be back and better with genuine people and more topics. Thank you to all of our valuable clients (listeners) that have joined us every week and managed to cope with us. We truly appreciate it and thank you so much for supporting us! We will be back real soon. 

    xoxo, Bojoke

  • Ep.19 | No Money No Talk

    🥣 VALUE OF MONEY 🥣

    In Cantonese, there's a slang saying "No money, no talk" meaning "I will not talk to you if there is no money". So, if you want to survive in this world, it's best to have some money saved up with you. 

    We getting sensitive and personal about this week's topic. In this day in age of society, all we think about is money and nothing else, because that's how you can only live in your lifetime. That's when we must learn how to save or manage our money better so we have enough for ourselves and everything else. But don't come to find us for financial advice or anything because we aren't certified for this and we'd probably make you lose more money than what you had initially.  

    PS: The title of this episode was inspired by HK Singer, Sam Hui 許冠傑 - 天才白痴錢錢錢 No Money No Talk (search it up on Youtube/Spotify for a banger song).
