What is Teh Tarik Sundays?

It is the FIRST talkshow initiated by @branlee87 and @zord189 with the support from #teammalaysia witness & lead, @bitrocker2020 exclusively for #teammalaysia members to gain exposure for their posts.

Why Teh Tarik? Because its what we Malaysians drink at a mamak stall when we hang out with friends. Here is what is going to happen on Sunday Nights :

Everyone is invited to join the Teh Tarik voice channel on Sundays at 10:00 pm.
If it's Author Week, three authors from #teammalaysia will be given a timeslot to promote their post.
If it's International Week, International Steemians would be invited to our talk show to share with us.
During your sharing, the post promoted will be shared in the Kopitiam channel for everyone to see. You will also get extra exposure. Your post may even be rewarded.
Only the Moderators and Authors are allowed to speak in the voice channel. The listeners can and should engage in the Kopitiam Text Channel.

The Malaysian Guide

Teh Tarik - Directly translates into pulled tea. It is basically 'Hot Milk Tea' and the 'tarik', which means pulled gives the top of the milk tea some foam.

Kopitiam - 'kopi' which means coffee in Malay and 'tiam' which means shop in the Hokkien language. Kopitiam will be our text channel in discord.

Teh Tarik Sundays EP23

A shoutout to @bitrocker2020 for coming on the show to host this week's Teh Tarik Sundays with me. As @alvinauh, my partner is travelling, the internet line from where he is would be unstable so what better chance to ask #teammalaysia lead and witness to come onboard.

Special Mentions

It was an exciting night because before we started bringing in the authors, I had several announcements to make. As you all know Thanksgiving just passed and Christmas is around the corner, it's the jolly mood and also this time of the year, we want to bless people especially those who are in need.

@steemxp collaboration with bondfire by @angeljames

About a month ago, I've been hearing announcements of a Christmas Album being created to help fundraise for Children's Home for Christmas. I got in contact with @angeljames who is part of whole initiative who started the @steemxp and bondfire collaboration.

I'm happy to announce that the Christmas Album is up for pre-order and you can now purchase the digital copy with only 7 SBDs! That's very cheap for a full Christmas album with all originals by the bands. The bands consist of Steemians from East Malaysia collaborating to raise funds and ALL funds raised through the purchase of this album 100% goes to the children shelter home in Jireh.

If you're looking to bless a few kids this Christmas, you may now purchase this awesome album written by Steemians and many other local artists.

Check out @gtpjfoodbank if you want to support a charity cause

We also had @littlenewthings who runs the @gtpjfoodbank that uses Steemit to fund charity causes in Malaysia. A big event would be coming in 13 days and @gtpjfoodbank will be feeding more than 500 families and 1000 children. If this peaks your interest in giving back to society, do give them a follow, check our their profile and support them with donations as well. Check the link out for more details :

Volunteers of All Ages and Nationality Rolling Up Their Sleeves!

After what seems to be a 15-minutes special announcement, we proceeded to the authors that are ready to share for the night. @kimzwarch and @littlenewthings. It was a rather personal sharing as their both shared about their relationships with their loved ones. I wouldn't share much about the content here but you can check out the full recording down below alongside with their posts.

Before the night ended, I managed to invite one of our #teammalaysia core members, @aaronleang to come have a quick chat about his experiences in Steemfest 3. @bitrocker2020 also shared more in-depth on certain apps that are up and coming and the overall take away from Steemfest 3. We can't wait to see where Steemfest 4 would be next and we really hope that @roelandp would consider Malaysia for its diverse cultures and adventures.

Teh Tarik Sundays ended but I would like to make a shoutout to @awesomianist, @joannewong and @hooiyewlim for contributing to this week's reward pool so all invited authors will be receiving a bigger reward! Thank you!

A Change in Schedule for TTS

I've decided to change the schedule to fit the new direction that Teh Tarik Sundays is progressing towards. That is to expand Internationally and cross-collaborate with International communities/initiatives and also to focus on internal #teammalaysia members. This new direction will open many opportunities to meet other amazing Steemians that are part of the whole Steemit ecosystem.

I will still be having #teammalaysia Authors come on the show but this will be at a specific week and the following would be an International segment.

The new schedule for Teh Tarik Sundays would be :

2 episodes, on the 2nd and 4th week of the month.
Every 2nd week would be an International episode where we invite International Steemians for the show.
Every 4th week would be the Routine Teh Tarik Sundays where 3 Authors can come and promote their post.
If there are no Special Guests on that month, we will proceed with the routine Teh Tarik Sunday

A Huge Thank You

Once again, on behalf of #teammalaysia, I would want to thank all the Authors that came forth to share their posts. I personally enjoyed listening to each and every one of the Authors. Also, Thank you to all #teammalaysia listeners who engaged with the Authors and us that night, love the Q&A segments and how much love you guys gave to our fellow Authors.

A shoutout to @bitrocker2020, @littlenewthings and @superoo7 for all the additional assistance to get the show running and knick-knacks after.
