Secret Society

**On a whim** Have you ever done something impulsively - a haircut or a tattoo you regretted, a random date that turned into a relationship, a passion project that became a career, a trip that went sideways, or a purchase you indulged in? Tell us all about your spontaneous decisions that led to memorable outcomes. If you couldn't make it to our previous pitch workshops, here is another opportunity for you! The *On a whim* live storytelling show is on Wednesday, 24th June. If you’ve got a story or just an idea in mind, come to one of our pitch workshops at the end of May. If your story is shortlisted for the show, our host will work with you as you polish and rehearse it. 📌 Story Requirements: * Your story must be true * It must be told in the first person—you are the main character * It should be between 5-10 minutes You don't need to have a completed or polished story ready - just a beginning idea is okay. This workshop is open to individuals at all levels, first-timers or old hands. The purpose of Hong Kong Stories is to help you become a better storyteller. Everyone has a story to tell, and everyone loves a story. Note: Please update your RSVP, ideally 12 hours before the event if you're unable to make it. Repeated no shows will be moved to not-going / removed from the group to open up slot for people on the waitlist.

Five players took part in our monthly online tournament last Monday--a small number, but a very close finish and some wild exciting games! Next Monday we're back to our face-to-face meeting at the Trafalgar--word is that a couple of members are bringing new people to play, so the turnout is looking strong! All levels of backgammon skill are welcome, including beginners! We offer free lessons to people who are interested in learning. People with experience can play friendly matches among each other.

For our fifth book of 2026, we have a Japanese bestselling mystery. 'When a writer fascinated by the macabre is approached by an acquaintance, he finds himself investigating an eerie house for sale in Tokyo. At first, with its bright and spacious interior, it seems the perfect first home. But upon closer inspection, the building’s floor plans reveal a mysterious "dead space” hidden between its walls. Seeking a second opinion, the writer shares the floor plans with his friend Kurihara, an architect, only to discover more unnerving details throughout. What is the true purpose behind the house’s disturbing design? And what happened to the former owners who disappeared without a trace? When a body suddenly appears and a young woman reaches out about a second house, it soon becomes clear that the writer and his friend may be in over their heads.' This book is available on Kindle. For international delivery you can find it from Blackwells and it may also be available at the library or an English language book store. We are a "real" book club, which means we do read the book before the meet-up and discuss it. New members are always welcome. We need to notify the venue about how many will attend, so please make sure your RSVP status is accurate. Hope to see you there!

Comedy and Variety performances. Come see the show or sign up and do a set. Hosted by Mentalist and comedian Stuart Palm. Join us!

Those of you who are familiar with Wan Chai might know about the temple along Queen's Road East dedicated to the deity **[Hung Shing (灣仔洪聖廟)](https://temples.tungwahcsd.org/hung-shing-templepak-shing-hau-temple-wanchai)** along what used to be the Victoria Harbour shoreline. There is another, larger temple not far away with an even more interesting past. The **[Yuk Hui Temple (玉虛宮)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wan_Chai_Pak_Tai_Temple)** is dedicated to **Pak Tai (北帝),** the Emperor of the North, and stands as a testament to the fact that a little corner of Wan Chai was a center of wealth and prosperity for not only English traders but also resident Chinese merchants. The temple has a host of deities, such as **Kwun Yam (觀音), Kwan Tai (關帝), and Lui Cho (呂祖)**. Most interestingly, the dedicated to the **Dragon Mother (龍 母殿**) is rare as Taoist goddesses are few and far between. The temple's rooftop figures are amazing and include a pair of dragons, a firing pearl, two aoyus (鰲魚, dragon fish), figurines of Chinese opera, floral patterns, etc., made by a Shiwan kiln, dated 1907. All precious and virtually unreplaceable by today's standards. Afterwards, we can head over to Hung Shing (灣仔洪聖廟) and peek in and see how the temple is maintaining itself. We'll also see a statue of the elusive fertility / widwife goddess **[Kam Fa Neung Neung (金花娘娘](https://ting902.com/2020/08/20/the-fertility-goddess-a-visit-to-hong-kongs-golden-flower-temple/))** We'll meet at street level, just outside Pacific Place 3, exit F, and down the long corridor BEFORE you enter the Pacific Place shopping mall. We'll walk down QRE to the Yuk Hui / Pak Tai Temple and then backtrack.

Hi guys, I write a free newsletter about AI, tech, entrepreneurship, and Hong Kong called *Better Read Paul* ([Paul Muller | Substack](https://substack.com/@paulmuller)). While working on it, talking to founders, and seeing how people actually use AI day to day, I kept noticing the same thing: there’s a lot of excitement about AI, but very little practical guidance. At the same time, AI has become a big part of my own daily work. I use it constantly to move faster, think more clearly, and save time. And that’s what pushed me to organize these workshops. The idea is simple: very little theory, and as much hands-on practice as possible. This is not a class where you listen to me talk for two hours, but rather a big conversation where I’ll show you how to use these tools (Claude Code, Nano Banana, ChatGPT, etc.), what you can do with them, and how you can apply them to your own workflow depending on what you do. We will cover: * How to use Claude Code to build a WordPress website and a simple program to learn a language * How to use Claude to rewrite a LinkedIn post or any other social media content * How to use Nano Banana to create a marketing canvas for any brand Cost: 200HKD for 1h45 Place: Unit 280, 6/F Ping lam commercial building, 280-282 Lockhart road, Wanchai Time: 11am-1pm What to bring: A notepad, your laptop (Only if you need help and already use some AI tools). AI can be incredibly useful, but there are a few things people don’t always tell you. Many tools are paid. The results don’t always live up to expectations. Some tools crash, go down, or need maintenance right when you need them most. And many of them magically produce perfect output without effort. So in the end, the real questions are: what actually slows you down every day at work? Can an AI tool help with that? Is the quality good enough? And is it worth paying for, given the time you save? That’s why I want to run these AI workshops, to help people understand how these tools really work, and to give them the space to experiment and apply AI to their own workflows in a practical and realistic way. Paul

Private Group. Closed to the Public Knowing ourselves and understanding our abilities is the first step toward wielding our gifts with control and accuracy. In subsequent classes we will verify and hone our talents with activities and discussion. These are hands-on workshops and participation is expected. The goal of our series will be to develop expertise in areas of particular interest such as mediumship, channeling, divination, healing and, etc.. Our ultimate directions will be determined by class members as we evolve. I look forward to sharing and discovering with you. - Cynthia
