Guests: Ah Tox, Katakpuru & Chiam Chiah
Several weeks ago, our old bird Katakpuru suggested that we talk about interesting occupations. She came up with this interesting one, a tailor or a seamstress. And did you know that Ah Tox used to be a tailor? Katakpuru’s mother is Chiam Chiah, and she used to sew clothes in her own neighborhood. Find out more about their fun and interesting experience of being a Chai Hong.
