We’re excited to share our braces journeys, from childhood to adulthood! I imagine you’ll discover some fascinating insights into braces when you give them a try. We also discussed the reasons behind our braces choices. How many of you are still wearing your retainers?

This week, we had the pleasure of inviting Jady, the founder of Rescued by Love, to share her insights on rescuing stray cats and dogs. She emphasized the significance of taking small steps to help control the stray dog and cat population. Her sharing was both informative and inspiring, encouraging us to take action rather than simply looking away when we encounter these vulnerable animals.

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.

Check out the old episode where Ling Goh was on PGHK the first time.

Our long-time listener, guest, and friend, Sambai Belacan, shared a recent big success and recognition of his photography work in France.

Not only did his photos of Penang get some commercial usage in partnership with a tea house, his work was also recognized by the Malaysian Consulate in France.

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!
