Go Back 1 Year: 1st Anniversary

I was distracted by the hundreds of new listeners coming to https://PenangHokkien.com a year ago after The Star published a nice story about my site. Just like how a year later, Kwong Wah Jit Poh did.

Here is the video that never was released. I guess it’s time to release the first year anniversary now. One year late. While we are celebrating the 2nd anniversary.

Celebrate 2 Years with me

Save your Saturday morning on August 11, 2007.
Starting at 10AM until 1PM.
I’ll be recording our anniversary specials in those hours. I will announce the topics in the next few days. You can suggest them too.

I plan to open up the line to everyone. Anyone can call in as long as you have Skype. Please add my Skype ID to your Skype now. My id is simply johnong

And of course, I will be webcasting it live. Come back to this site to get the link.

I hope you can all join me!

Thanks to a few of you who made me the special 2 year anniversary pictures and video. I will be posting them throughout the month of August.

I hereby declare the month of August as Penang Hokkien Month!

Penang Hokkien turns 2

PGHK #103 Kong Tao (降头)

Guests: Ban Chang Kueh, Ah Leng, Motoleng, Wiwiwawa, & Pong Pah.

We explored the intriguing world of voodoo, what we call Kong Tao in Hokkien.
This show is both creepy and exciting. Believe it or not, it was fun and informative for me, I hope you’ll enjoy too. Share your own knowledge and experience here in the comments area, or join our Penang Hokkien Forum.

A special welcome to all the new Kwong Wah Jit Poh’s readers.
特别欢迎每位光华日报读者。

Welcome Kwong Wah readers

Welcome to all the new listeners from Kwong Wah newspaper 光华日报.
The new show will be up around 2PM Malaysian time today.
The topic is “Kong Tao” or Voodoo. Come back for it!

Read the article here.
Thanks to Shua Hu and Cheah for the link.

PGHK #102 Kuey Kang (过港)

Guests: Pong Pah, WiwiWawa, & Motoleng

UPDATE: My mom told me it’s not 江, it’s 港, as in port.

Since we have so many listeners not from the Penang island, we decided to invite those who live on the mainland to chat with us. Some from outside of the Penang state. But since we all speak Hokkien, we are all connected by the dialect. And that of course includes anyone who understand us even if you’re not from the north. Of course, we talk more than just food, but food is the main thing we can all relate. Enjoy. Don’t eat too full!

Laughing Penang Hokkien Style

So, our loyal listener, Shua Huan told me that The Star uses one of our Penang Hokkien gathering pictures from The Star photographer for an article titled “Having Fun At Work”. You can click on the picture and click on All Sizes and read the article. It has nothing to do with Penang Hokkien. But we must have food laughters to get selected! I think it’s only available for the central edition of the Star.

Thanks to Shua Huan for letting me know, and Taoju for scanning the article for me.

Laughing Penang Hokkien Style

Shua Huan: PGHK on The Star dated July 17

Did anyone see a picture used in the Star newspaper about laughters or something.
He emailed me that he saw a picture of the Penang Hokkien Golden Pig Reunion party.
If you have it, please scan or take a picture of the article. Thanks!

Here’s Shua Huan’s second https://PenangHokkien.com awareness photo.

PGHK #101 Bus Skolah

Guests: Katakpuru, Mong Cha Cha, Sampat, & Hainam Kei Pui

The title says it all. This show really brought back a lot of memory for me personally. I hope it would do the same for you. We talked about good and bad experiences on our bas skolah (in a very Penang Hokkien way of pronouncing “Bas Sekolah”. Enjoy and share your own stories in the comments area, or call in, or leave a MobaTalk message.
