Guest: Jit-pun Lau-i

If you're a fan of Jit-pun Lau-i, you are in for a treat! She spent the entire hour sharing with some of her ghost stories that she's been saving for a while. Some stories are from her days in Penang, and some fairly recently in Japan.

We always talked about savory dishes. This week I decided to gather all my new and old listeners to share what kind of desserts and sweets they like.

Share your own. I'm sure I'd have to do another show soon.

Guests: Iau Si, WiWiWaWa, Ko· Ka Nya, Lesen, Bak Kuaⁿ , Pat Po Peng, & Ang Mo· Tan.

The original topic is The Black Head Stories a few years ago.

We invited more guests back here and tell us more of their own embarrassing stories. I am quite certain there are more from you. Please let me know, and we will do another one in the future.

Come enjoy a good laugh out of other people's embarrassment! That's only human nature!

Power failure. We may not have experienced it as much these days compared to ten, twenty years ago (except for WiwiWawa's neighborhood), but we all have fond memories of those days. How we turned a lemon into lemonade with games and excitements we used to come up with when we have no power. Share your stories with us too.

Please check out these two new shows that I started with WiwiWawa, a spinoff of DingDaBell.

Guest: Bihzhu

We are so lucky to have a rising star in the music industry from Penang. And even luckier to have her chatting with us about her latest album right here on Penang Hokkien Podcast.

Please give Bihzhu a huge support. Buy her album. If you enjoy her music, spread her music to your friends.

Buy "Nightingale Tales" digitally. Download now.

You name the price. However much you think the music deserve, you pay that much.

By buying her album, you are facilitating her future music creation. And we all benefit. I love her music, and I love her more because she's a fellow Penangite. And super genuine and talented.

Go to her show next Saturday, and go up to her and let her know your beloved Miku John send you! Send me pictures.

Guest: Xiamen Ah Long

Ah Long and I discussed the future of Hokkien in Penang. It is certain that most of you who listen to the show, intentional or not, are supporting the growth and re-popularize the usage of Hokkien.

However, there are still a lot of work to be done to preserve or mother tongue. Parents are focusing so much on English and Mandarin that we are losing our identity as Chinese Penangites. Not only in Hokkien, but other dialects as well.

This is a challenge for me and for of you to go out and spread the good news of preserving Hokkien and other dialects. As parents, you may want to start by speaking to your children in your own dialect. And send them to classes like the ones organized by Penang Performing Art Center (Penang PAC)

We talk about Valentine's day. From pan to· places to favorite restaurants. Our guests shared their definition of a romantic night.

I will post my picture of the heart-shaped chocolate box after Valentine's day. I don't want to pecah lubang.

Ah Long is in this movie. Go see him! Let me know if you can recognize him:
