/ᐠ。ꞈ。ᐟ\ Playlist: https://spoti.fi/3zE54VD On September 14th, I hosted a live podcast recording, "Berlin Midday Meows," in Moabit, Berlin. We had a laid-back listening session where we dove into some city pop and K-pop tracks that I selected—each with a fascinating historical context and backstory. Don’t worry, no idols were harmed in this episode.…

I've been a keyboard warrior my whole life, ever since I got my hands on the internet. As a late millennial born in the 90s, I navigated through various weeb forums and became an active (and sometimes toxic) member of online communities. You'll also get the backstory on how I developed such an eclectic taste in music, which is a big reason why I'm …

Recently, there's been a heated debate surrounding the gender of two female boxers participating in the Paris Olympics. This has sparked discussions about traditional gender definitions and highlighted that even cisgender individuals aren't free from gender discrimination. While I've learned a lot about human biology and sports event eligibility, I…

After five years away from Asia, I finally returned and traveled to Tokyo, stirring up a whirlwind of emotions. Tokyo felt more like Hong Kong than Berlin and yet, not my home at all. Check out my rough travel diary with a bit of personal reflections and a lot of cultural rediscoveries, especially if you are a weeb. To my friends: tune in to this e…

On April 27th, I gathered with a group of Berliners in Moabit, Berlin to gossip about everything (especially our families). We covered topics from broader social issues to the most intimate anecdotes of our lives. While many feel pressured to be cool and unique in Berlin, some of us found happiness in the ordinary. Most topics started with specific…

After going through a divorce, I genuinely wish the best for people when they get married—it's no easy journey. Some people had more ups and downs than cryptocurrency. Sorry for always bringing up financial stuff; I'm from Hong Kong and grew up with ticker symbols as my lullaby. Are there any other malevolent kids out there who secretly wished thei…

Hooray! Lunar New Year is finally basically over, so now I am gonna rant about this festival. Honestly, I might just be a lazy shit, so I am always slow with podcast updates. Getting lazy-shamed by comedians is a new experience for me as a cliche workaholic Asian. Have you ever given advice to your friends and regretted it, sometimes even losing fr…

There are two things I find difficult as a socially awkward introvert - small talk in a work meeting and small talk before sex. Dating apps might have closed the door for some extroverts, but it has definitely saved my ass. People tend to create a stereotypical image of the person they are dating. I was sometimes seen as the emotionless dating mach…

My favorite topic - how “being poor” is different from “being poor”, speaking from my experience as the "middle class" kid in the working class world. Poor people also need some authentic and diverse representation beyond the fundraising campaigns. No competition here, just remembering what my mom used to say about growing her own food and sharing …

Berlin is getting cleaner, but it's losing a bit of that famous poor and charm. Same story back in Hong Kong. I'm feeling nostalgic for the bustling wet markets where Asian moms scored all their essentials and gossiped, the best networking location for them. Ever wondered why people hold eggs up to the light? Oh, and don't get me started on those a…

Visiting the gynecologist is the worst experience, so bad that it feels like my soul would escape from my body. Do you know that many comedians are actually trying to save money on therapy by doing stand-up? As part of the workaholic folks, I have some advice that I often fail to follow myself, but seriously, let's stop being stupid! Of course, I d…

My biggest joy is checking what's in the junk email every week. Besides the notifications about someone matching with me on Tinder, there's some other juicy stuff that keeps me awake all the time. It's hard to believe that English has become my primary survival tool, despite my initial promise to avoid it at all costs. You will hear the most inappr…

Being away from Hong Kong has kinda left me out of the loop when it comes to what's expected socially. But I'll never forget the battles I faced with my body while growing up. These days, I can wear whatever I want without a second thought, but back then, even buying new clothes was a nightmare. And then there's my parents' upbringing, which just a…

I am sure it’s not just me, silence expectations often surprise newcomers in Germany. Is loud chewing a punishable offense? Also, let’s stop shying away from the mystery behind the suspicious content recommended to us on social media. A little sentimental after this - time to revisit an old acquaintance who still lingers in my thoughts. Of course, …
