Penang Hokkien Podcast 槟城福建 Alternate Feed

Guests: Ban Chang Kuih, Hai Nam Kei Pui, Ah Leng, Motoleng & Tek Lu Knia Recently, I have received a phone call, no, many phone calls from a certain someone (Ban Chang Kuih) at a time that I can't pick up and he never left me a message. That gave me an idea to do a show about how and why Malaysians are not used to leaving voice messages on the phone or set up their own voice message mailbox, or even checking their own voice messages. I think I finally get the idea why now. You have to check it out yourself. Leave more reasons in the comments area.

Guests: Wantan, YY, Kam Pui The most popular ghost story series is back with another new episode. One of the many stories include ghosts in a bus. You have to listen to everything. It's both scary and funny! And you only get this in Penang Hokkien.

Guests: YY, PPP, & Kuku Long Long Happy Mid Autumn Festival. We talked about moon cakes and Teong Chew processions. Kuku Long Long contributed to the celebration in Singapore. Who wants to send me moon cakes? :D

Guests: Ah Tox & Arabaijop Do you know what Chulia Street is Hokkien? What about Burma Road? Do you even know that there are Hokkien names for many streets in Penang. You will have to check out this show. A listener named "Magician" sent in a Wikipedia link about Penang street names. Check it out: Street Names of Georgetown, Penang (Ah Tox, see I remember! LOL) Picture pinjam from IPJ Mike from Flickr. He's a great photographer, check out the rest on his Flickr page.

This topic has been in the forum for a long time, we finally find a time to talk about it. The only problem is, we didn't have enough time. Almost everyone wanted to share their own stories. Now, what are we talking about? "Blue Flim" I did not misspelled Flim. That's how we say it in Hokkien. I hope you'll enjoy this episode. And I certainly hope to record a second show in the future. In the meantime, share your experience in the comment area.

Guests: Jipunabor, Laksa Gien, Jepun Lau Ee, & Tua Pui Poh This week we have several listeners sharing their stories on how they got married to a foreign country. As we celebrate 50 years of independence, it's good to reflect on our national identity, especially those who live abroad. Explore the courage of those who get married to a foreign land. Laugh with us in funny situations when you get married into a completely different culture. The picture below is our famous Jepun Lau Ee

Guests: Hiao Lok, Pong Pah, Kuku TengTeng & Hao Tniao As many Chinese Penangites are observing the Hungry Ghost Festival, we on Penang Hokkien are joining in and share our experience and stories from the younger generations. I have learned quite a few things from my guests. If you are a chicken, don't worry, it's not very scary at all.

Guests: Pek Lulu, Jepun Lau Ee, Kacang Puteh, Sui Knia, Jipuna Bor, Laksa, Guleng Ch'ngi, Ah Hua, Special Guest: Reto I managed to call up many of Penang Hokkien Podcast listeners who now living abroad. They are either from Penang, lived in Penang, or share our Northen Malaysian Hokkien that I call Penang Hokkien. I am sure many of them share the same nostalgic experience when they find other people to chat with in Penang Hokkien. That's the whole reason why I started this show. If I don't get to chat with you, share your personal stories about how you missed Penang in the comments area. Next recording is scheduled on August 25, 2007. Saturday night. 9PM to 12AM. Check on a special post about the next recording.
