A-Loung and I visited the Teochew Puppet & Opera House in Penang last year, and we're lucky enough to have our previous guest Touk Touk Tshiang (Ling Goh), the owner of the museum, to give us a tour.

Please visit the museum when you get a chance, what a pleasant experience.

Some of you suggested that we should have some weeks where we can talk about any topic. Kinda like our Clubhouse rooms. So, here’s the first one.

We also continue to share some of our thoughts about our last 20 years of PGHK. Including some details of what happened at our PGHK20 dinner. This episode also included a bonus mini ghost episode!

This is the first recording since I returned from Malaysia, and I am so rusty. We might as well start from scratch!

We also let those who didn’t get to attend the event ask questions about our in-person 20th Anniversary Celebration events last year.

On the last day of our PGHK20 anniversary events, we shared our thoughts about the 20th anniversary celebrations. The common thread is that it felt like a family reunion. No matter if we have met for the first time or multiple times, everyone felt familiar and comfortable to be around.
