Hi PGHK kaki,
I’m on my way back to Penang (I’m writing to you on the plane, somewhere around Arizona). And as you may have heard in the latest shows, we are going to have a casual gathering later this month on Saturday, September 26. It’s also 十五暝 tsa̍p-gōo-mêe. Even though we’re meeting during the day, you can still bring your 魚燈 hû-teng and wear your PGHK t-shirts!
Here are the details for our gathering. I’m really looking forward to seeing you there later this month!
Gathering Details:
Date: September 26, 2026 (Saturday)
Time: 11:30am (Malaysian Time)
Venue: Hamilton Walk
(Food Court – Aircon Section)
This week, we chatted about how queueing has changed in Malaysia. Back when I was younger, people didn’t care about waiting in line and respecting your turn. People would just jump the queue. But over the last ten years, things have gotten much better. Now, more and more folks are happy to wait in long lines for their favorite food or stuff. Are you one of them? Let’s hear what our guests have to say about it!

Hi PGHK kaki,
It’s time for another PGHK recording! This will be the last one before I visit Penang in September. Any recordings in September will be in person! In fact, I’m going to have an in-person gathering with you all either on September 26 or 27. Please reply to this email if it’s better to do it on Saturday or Sunday? Saturday is the Mooncake Festival. Maybe we do a night time gathering instead? Come join the recording this Saturday, and let me know what you think!
Ok, back to this Saturday’s recording. Here’re the details. I hope to see you there!
