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: 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.

Updated & added on January 8, 2012.
@L4dy_Gama finally wrote back to me. Check out pictures that came from @L4dy_Gama and a listner, I-Bo-Leng.
