We discussed what's changed in what we do for Chinese New Year.

New Chinese New Year songs and new custom. Eating out and going out of the country for CNY is also getting popular. What else do you think is new?

I felt so lucky to be able to welcome and celebrate the new year of dragon with so many of my listeners. New birds and old birds both. I dedicate this show and all the fun and laughters to those who live abroad and don't quite feel the Chinese New Year atmosphere. PGHK will keep you company!

Kiong A!

Guests: WiwiWawa, Ang Mo· Tan, Hai Som, & Ah Chew.

This week, our Tian Ki Tiam brought us the topic of iPod.

We revisited the history of iPod and talked about which iPod have you had before. And perhaps what iPod you still have today.

Share your own iPod stories and what models you have.

Do you actually use your iPod or iPhone or iPad to listen to PGHK?

I gave away an iPod shuffle in 2007 to celebrate our first Chinese New Year gathering.

Of course this is Penang Hokkien Podcast. We're not going to talk about the regular new year topic of 2012. We are talking about the possibility of the end of the world this year! Regardless, hope you have a great start of the new year. But most of all happy and laugh a lot! Send all your friend to PGHK and share the joy. Just in case if 2012 is indeed the end of the world. Won't you want to spend your last days happy?!

Guests: Jippun Lau-i, Sampat Po·, Ang Mo· Chiau, Siau Kiaⁿ.

Our old favorite Jitpun Lau-i comes back to share her stories from her mother's funeral. This is one of the scariest stories I heard here. Siau Kiaⁿ shared the old lady she used to buy drinks from. More Sabah's ghost stories close to Gunung Kinabalu. Very scary. Find out what shows up in their photos.

Ang Mo· Chiau please send me the photo! Thanks!.

Guests: Gama Poh, Sam Pat Po, Bo Mo· Peh, Siau Kiaⁿ, Ang Mo· Tan, & Lau Kau Kia.

I invited @L4dy_Gama to talk to us about Gama Supermarket.

Unfortunately, I haven't heard back from them since the show. So, no pictures or logos of Gama.

But you'll still get to hear the history and some insights of Gama, a place I used to go every Sunday when I was a child.

And with this episode, I present to you, the Angry Birds in Hokkien. Find out what Bo Mo· Peh calls it.

Hope this show will bring back some good old times at Gama.

Sometimes I just make crazy recordings. There are several recordings I did with my friends that won't fit into any of my podcasts. So, I decided to share the files only to those who subscribe to this show, and follow me on Twitter, Google+, and Facebook.

I hope you'll enjoy!
