We are burnt out...We are lost...(Our future in Malaysia)

[@JetLagWarriors]

Hey guys, these feelings are completely valid! KZbin is a full time job. So remember to take a break, and maybe even go on a vacation together without filming! Enjoy going to a restaurant, and really endulge the food without thinking of what to say for a video. Maybe an inspiration or a new passion will spark from taking the break. One step at a time. Wishing you the best!

It's when you only focus on an end goal that you dont enjoy the process. Key is to enjoy each moments and to create different kinds of videos. Why limit yourself only to reviewing food. Maybe review houses, apartments, businesses, ..so many opportunities @iChangRM 🙂 🙂

[@azmanhairudin9697]

- make cooking videos - collab with other local/foreign youtubers in malaysia - take part in some volunteer works - make more 'jalan-jalan' videos. not necessarily eating more importantly, enjoy your stay in malaysia. dont feel pressure😊

[@KH-dv6vl]

Dear IChang and Jimmy, You both have been our unofficial Ambassador of Malaysian Food. I believe our Malaysian companies should adopt you as their representative in their brands as you bring good value to their brands. This way, you can earn income, continue to live in Malaysia and make more videos for the world to see. I hope this can also open new windows to meet your next goal (whatever it may be) Thank you so much for promoting Malaysia and being part of our society. Malaysia government should grant you a special PR status as you’re contributing greatly to our country and connecting good viewers around the world with Malaysia through food. Wishing you the best of luck and God bless always.

[@virusstarletto]

Just be who you are guys, we dont have any high expectation, we just happy seeing you guys happy with all your experience here in malaysia. As long as you enjoyed with your journey, then everything will be okay.

[@azmiosman5156]

ya agree. the pressure is only in the mind. actual ppl like us don't mind 🙂🙏🏻

[@switchback4312]

When you work for KZbin or any organization, there will always be times of doing the mundane, routine things. Anyone who is working can identify the same feelings like you. Hope there are people here who will reach out to you with ideas for your channel. Or it could be time for you to explore another country. KZbin basically is about videos and the creators have to come up with the content for their videos. Every subject is already covered by KZbin. It is how you present it that makes the difference. Example many countries produce cars. It is how you advertise and how you sell the cars that make a difference in your profitability.

[@dashcammalaysia1748]

I do agree with you. @ichangrm why not you guys learn bahasa melayu and tell us the journey. Hope to see your progress. Gambate neh. Otsukaresamadesu ❤

[@dogzilla81]

To be honest, I really loved the time when you tried cooking Malaysian food (when you were in HK). Why not give it a try again? Sort of like... re-creating the food that you've tried from the different states? Part of the enjoyment was to see you guys trying out the different recipes. Heck, you can even start by trying out the recipes that you've covered during your time in HK. It's like chicken curry v2, roti canai v2, etc etc. Constant traveling from state to state can indeed be tiring, especially in our Malaysian weather.

[@yourtravelbuddy87]

Couldn’t agree more

[@shafrinamokhtar]

[@christineHJY96]

Because they mentioned they aldy in Msia now. Can just go out eat authentic one. So, why cooking haha. Imagine you at other country or state, you will have the energy to recreate those food that you are craving but when you're aldy at that state/country, you will not cook.

[@shinhwa_vip5017]

Just my humble opinion .Don't restrict your video only for food only .The Malaysian diversity will help you to enjoy your stay in Malaysia. For example you can make content while learning about race ,their food ,their culture ,and tradition ..Every state in Malaysia is different and has their own specialty ..Buat lawatan sambil belajar .Haa...👍Good luck both of you ♥️🇲🇾😊

[@MrOrangeneko]

I agree to this. Don't restrict yourself to just food. Expand your horizons to other content, maybe from the Japanese or foreigner's perspective.

[@shinhwa_vip5017]

Mungkin boleh selit kan juga sejarah sesuatu tempat . Ataupun Sabah ada banyak etnik .Boleh buat kajian tentang ni .Malaysia tidak tertakluk Melayu ,Cina dan India saja .Banyak lagi etnik lain . Mungkin boleh kaji tentang makanan mereka pula .Menarik bukan?😊

Hello Jimmy and iChang, I am a Malaysian who have moved away from Malaysia for many years. I love your watching your videos because they remind me of the beautiful country I once called home. There are not so many things I can do when I feel homesick and watching your videos bring a lot of comfort to someone like me. It makes me smile knowing that the people in my country continue to preserve their culture and food, and knowing that we continue to be so friendly, open and warm to foreigners

Honestly after subscribing to your channel 2 years ago, I truly appreciate what ichang and Jimmy you did for us. Through your videos, I become to be more appreciate to my country, my culture, our food. Although there were a few short-comings but Malaysia is really a great country to live! I would suggest both of you could rest for a bit, take ur own time to make plannings for ur future! We will always wait for you both!

[@MasterHaruu]

Hello Ichang & Jimmy, it is totally understandable if you're feeling burnt out and it is totally okay! As we always seek for new goal once we've achieved the one we've set before, it is normal to feel lost at some point. I've watched your videos since Jimmy hasn't revealed his face yet, and one thing that made me love you guys is because how respectful you both are with our cultures, foods, country and also how sincere you guys are. A few months after I've discovered your channel, my parents discovered it as well and has been following your content to the point that they're more updated than me. They're both retired, and have been going to some restaurants that you guys went to when I'm out for work. A few days back, I came home from work and my mom was so excited showing me this particular bread. She said "This is the bread that Ichang ate that day". I didn't even watch that video yet so I was clueless. Please know this, we truly appreciate what you did. Another festival called Hari Raya Haji coming up next week, I hope you'll look forward to that!

[@ultimatewarrior4630]

Boring lah, that's why they burnt out lor. In Malaysia, making youtuber cannot survive, unless they really very rich millions in bank account. Malaysia culture is totally different with others developing countries and bear in mind, Malaysia is a islamic country & some still living in "coconut shell" (conservative thinking) not same as Japan, Singapore, USA, Europe and so on.....We advice to get a job here and life has to move on....youtuber have "no work life balance" in Malaysia & the government don't care either!!!! 🤪 Hari Raya Haji make what video???

[@bambamalakazam4030]

Remember the time when both of you had an impromptu trip to the jungle? Or simply jalan-jalan around the housing area and admired the big bungalows? Exploring Aeon in JB? We love watching both of you discover new things, not necessarily limited to food. As Malaysians, we want you to enjoy and explore our country, in the "rilek"way! Visit our zoos, the turtle sanctuary in terrenganu, the long house in Borneo and explore our pulau-pulau. Don't hesitate to participate in local festivals - the Chinese Dumpling Festival is around the corner, I’m sure there are some activities to join too. In short, take your time and do whatever you want, and it’s totally fine if you didn't capture it on cam! Relax and enjoy, maybe then you'll know what works best :)
 p.s. On a side note, if you do want to make some cooking content, maybe can consider collaborating with Aunty Liew (KL Liew on youtube) or even learn from her video (Chinese speaking but english and malay subtitle available). She cooks a lot of malaysian dishes :)

We love your content and don't rush into doing things. We viewers are patient and we don't expect anything. Why not do something different? You guys can do vlogs on your staycation at different hotels in Malaysia or going to the beach vlog, interviewing people on the streets or anywhere about certain topics that might interest you or going to different kind of places that might interest you both or you can create a recipe for your cooking channel. That way you feel like the content will be varied and also we viewers will gain new knowledge on certain topics. Just remember to be safe, healthy and also keep yourself hydrated always.

[@iamalaysianadventureentert9175]

I have an idea for ichang and Jimmy. I could see that during pkp when you were in Hong Kong you re- created Malaysian food by following recipe and sharing it with us and also the people in your neighborhood. I really enjoy those videos. Malaysian also appreciate your effort. Then you introduce some Malaysian food for Jimmy grandma, I enjoy that episode too. The sambal recipe that you teach etc Why don't you do the same here in Malaysia. Visit certain people and make traditional kuih or food, really kampung traditional kuih/dessert/ dishes. Learn and cook them together. Ichang and Jimmy speaks Japan often in the video explanations and this can be good for your international viewer in terms of knowledge etc. Then maybe you can write it up and make it into a book or ebook "100 days cooking 100 dessert Malaysia" Japanese translation. Or you can maybe make a pop up cafe and making your version of the food you learn and sell them. Just and idea.

[@PisitMandis]

As someone who has been subscribed to you guys from almost the very beginning, I understand the whole burn out thing. You two deserves some good rest and quality RnR time. As for content I feel that most of us are here for your makan-makan videos. Since that's what your concept is all about. I would also like to suggest maybe instead of makan-makan how about some just jalan-jalan videos where you guys visit and enjoy the sights around Malaysia. Malaysia does have a lot of nature to enjoy after all. Another suggestion is maybe doing some reaction videos like the one you guys did on the SAB fisherman reaction. That was fun. Reaction stuff might be scrapping the bottom of the barrel type of content but a little bit here and there wouldn't hurt while also sticking true to your original concept. Whatever it is I'm sure most of us here will be waiting for the next thing you guys publish. Get some rest and chill and maybe some kind of inspiration will hit you guys again and the two of you will be back on your positive feet! Until then there's no rush and know we'll be here!! Good Luck!

as a fellow content creator, although not full-time and famous, i can still relate and understand you guys. we make videos, especially constant videos every week, and we will eventually run out of ideas or content. it's like having a writer's block but for youtubers. which is why so many famous og or pioneer youtubers stopped uploading or quit youtube or changed their content entirely. but whatever it is, we malaysians will always be with you two. and if you decide to rest from making videos for some time, we will patiently wait for you guys even if it's in another decade (fingers crossed youtube still exists). or you can also venture into other things like maybe write a book about your adventures here in malaysia

[@chivskigaming]

Guys, you have the ability to influence your viewer through your videos. Those great restaurants which lacks traffic will always be grateful if you visit them. You can actually become Malaysia's restaurant police, or you can also create a segment where iChang cooks Malaysia's cuisine collaboration with all those restaurant owner you visited, while interviewing them as well to add more content. Create multiple segments for your youtube channel so that you grow into something better. Keep it up..!!

[@zaja66]

Hi iChang. Recommendations: 1. Visit historical places and their historical figures. You may start with Langkawi and the tragic story of Mahsuri. Interview people over there. Each state has compelling stories to tell. 2. Cultural dances/activities and its origins. Each state has their own unique ways. In Johore they have Zapin and Ghazal, MakYong, Kuda Kepang and Dikir Barat in the East Coast, Boria in Penang, go seek pantun from the Babas and Nonyas in Malacca etc. Enjoy!

Just take your time ichang and jimmy. No rush. We are just a viewers that happy to see you guys share your journey and experience here in Malaysia. Seeing you guys enjoy living in Malaysia made us happy and proud to be Malaysian.

[@joud6284]

Hi guys! thank you for all the effort you've put into your content and showing us all these fun and interesting places and eats! i really do appreciate it, and its genuinely made me excited to try many new things (im a singaporean, but my dad if from Penang, and his side of the family is in Penang...there are so many things i havent experienced!). it's very normal and very ok to take a break when you're feeling stuck or overwhelmed. there's no need to be too hard on yourself, but instead, please be kind and have a rest. we will all be here if/when you're ready to come back. in all honesty, if you want to continue doing more food videos, thats cool. if you want to try other videos, thats fine too. actually, i (and im sure many others) just enjoy watching you guys for who you are, regardless of what you're doing. take care, and please be happy and healthy always!

[@yse2010]

Burnt out? No worry. You can travel to other places also can. It doesn't have to be Food in Malaysia. It can also be your hometown Japan's food. I want to know what things you like too other than food. And thank you uncle for sending fruits ~ You done alot. I'm happy that your videos helped many people to find food happiness.

[@leahsweetie01]

I love how your videos are a balance of harmony, humor, hamsap and emotional. Most of your contents are revolved around travel and food. but i feel like the real soul of your videos are about experiencing Malaysia's culture (not just food, but also living the different cultures like Ramadhan, the traditional clothes you wear, driving culture in Penang). I'm not sure, if this is helpful, maybe bring in other elements of culture other than just food and travel. It tells a lot even to fellow Malaysian, like myself. That I learn a lot about the different food from each states. Watching your videos always cheers me up at the end of the workday. Thank you iChang and Jimmy.

[@azmiosman5156]

You're entering another phase of being in Malaysia. Hot climate, the weather can be overwhelming at times. Chill and take your time. That's why you see most Malaysian are chill people. Most important is to enjoy the country. Only if you're happy and enjoying it that you may come up with ideas and share it 🥰🙏🏻

[@zainahadnan484]

Betul.... life in Malaysia is living.... adapting...assimilation....with its surrounding...diversity... weather...panas..🔥🔥🤪🤪....hujan...🌧️🌧️🌧️....hujan panas pun ada...🌦️🌦️..... thunderstorms...⚡⚡..... demam... pening....so that's why...we just enjoy our life lah..... sabar....sabar.....sabar.....🤒🤒🤧🤧🤕🤕😪😪🥵🥵😭😭😂😂

[@588tyler]

A good explanation why all hot climate country are usually poor and underdeveloped. While cold climate countries are developed and powerful.

[@chihueieng1654]

Reading the comments and following your videos, you have made positive impact to a lot of people beyond what you might have realised. You have connected people and cultures, you brought joys to Malaysians who are homesick, you gave ideas to those who seek to experience new places, you showed the world that there are many friendly and kind people out there, you inspired people to be brave and pursue their dreams, you helped businesses and indirectly livelihood of many, you brought Malaysia to the world. Your sincerity touches your followers and that is why you had made so much positive impact in the process of your content creation.

[@abdullahmohdnawi2320]

Guys, don’t feel like you have to rush things. Take time to rest, take time to enjoy yourself. There is no point if you don’t enjoy yourself in the process. Why don’t you get back to the basics - we all fell in love with you when you cooked Malaysian food back in HK. You were so passionate. You looked so happy. We'd love to see you cook again ❤ But whatever it is, just do what you want to do. Experience Malaysia to the fullest - even the lazy weekends where you just rest at home.. That's all part of the process. You do you!

[@Athena3838]

Thank you to you both for creating such insightful contents on your vlogs. I’m ashamed to say this but I’m a Malaysian and I’ve been learning things about my own country through your videos! I fully appreciate that YouTubing is not an easy task, you deserve a pat on your shoulders for all the work you’ve done so far! I’m sure your followers will continue to support you and we will wait patiently for your next ‘project’. Meanwhile, enjoy your time in our country, soak up the sun, relax and have fun! 😊

[@demejazee7800]

My opinion why don't you guys do what you do before, try the food and then try to cook it and make it like daily activities, because Malaysian enjoy watching this kind of life style..

[@sharizalsariff8245]

Your small small charity event you do for the people is amazing & inspiring. You make a difference to people lifes, that is why i followed you. Just as simple as giving out Nasi Lemak packet , was amazing. A lot of people are still impacted by MCO and looking for inspiration, to remember the good in life. You can do it!! Support!! Peace!! .🤟

Ppl love you both for your simplicity and layback videos. All the videos are very natural and for that reason it touches ppl heart. Don’t feel burden to impress us, or it will lose its originality. I won’t offer you ideas to make you feel better, yet you know well dy malaysia even better than some of us. Treat yourselves vacation to rejuvenate. Have a good rest, who knows along the process there’s something precious would come. Stay strong 💪🏼 jimmy and ichang ❤

[@kkchong65]

Hi iChang and Jimmy, keep up the good work. Your video is so much positive energy and sincerity. Malaysia is a such a wonderful place. Some time we need to see it thru your lens to remind us...we need to cherish the uniqueness of Malaysia.

[@abdathayat3650]

Life is a cycle; we all go through a series of ups and downs. You're doing very well, i-Chang and Jimmy. We enjoy watching your videos. Keep moving forward ya!

[@al8775]

It's a wonderful life when you guys are in Malaysia please don't ever forget that. Terima kasih for everything you have done so far with your istimewa youtube channel. Malaysians will always support and remember you in whatever you choose to do in the future 😊😊...

[@jari6430]

Hi😊 always love your vids❤ You know, Malaysia is not only about food, its places too and the memories you make in each. Travel through the smaller towns, take your time to see the sights. Even us, Malaysians, find something new each time we are travelling in our own country! Take sometime to rest and renew! Thank you for bringing Malaysia to the world, in your own way❤

[@r3dr3drose]

Love you guys! Take all the time you need and you know we will follow you on your adventures in search of Dragon Balls (this should be a series). Also, many things can be “dragon balls”… food, dance, music, art or a new language. So stop limiting yourself, you guys are so much more capable than this.

[@TehTarikOppa]

When I traveled Malaysia last year, I met ichang and jimmy by chance. and eventhough our first meeting, ichang, jimmy treat me delicious food, drinks and we share many story about life, youtube and other things. i got so many advice from them and i guarantee that ichang and jimmy are people with a very warm heart. i wish that this couple overcome all the bad feelings and be happy!!! Thank u ichang noona and jimmy hyung and see u someday with a full happiness :)

[@muhammadikmalmohdsaid2561]

Your videos are excellent and give a nuanced sense of taste of Malaysian food. There are other things about Malaysia and its diverse groups that you can discover and explore and share them with the world, and then move on to other shores to also share them with your viewers.

[@ia8874]

Hi iChang and Jimmy. Just enjoy Malaysia. Really. You guys have made a name for yourselves here, Malaysians will still watch your videos even if it's not about food nor cooking. We've enjoyed the content you two tirelessly and painstakingly put out, it's normal to feel burnt out and lost when you have overstretched yourselves so just take some time off, do something different, rejuvenate yourselves and the answers you want will flow in when you least expect. =)

[@sharonwendypereira3410]

Dont feel down Ichang and Jimmy. My mum who is 70 also enjoys watching your videos. What we love about your videos is your sincerity. We also visited a few places you went to in your videos. ❤

[@fotboll.shorts]

On be half Malaysian i do appreciate your positive feedback about Malaysia. With all respect we in Malaysia are multiple cultures why don't you explore other cultures and traditions and do video about that, show the truly Malaysia to the world 🌎 how harmony we are actually here owe country. Every state have they tradition, when some people going to other countries they get culture shock that normal, I think you guys doing very well.

[@druegnor]

Please also visit Indonesia, Thailand, Brunei and Philiphine. You can make Malaysia as your base. You dont have to limit your content only in Malaysia. We understood the burnout, especially for youtuber.

[@ibrahimmohdrizal5404]

Thank you for your hardwork and dedication. If i was in your position i would never make it that far on what both of you have achieved. U guys have that special touch in your videos which shows in all your videos. KEEP FIGHTING! May you guys be blessed with all the goodness in the world.

[@omnomnom_kch]

Hi Ichang & Jimmy, I'm glad you're sharing your ups and downs with us. Life's a marathon, so pace yourself, take a break, recharge and off we go again! 😊 It's normal to feel burnt out. It's okay to take some time off too. Just like the Mangakas in Japan, they will go on a hiatus for weeks/months to recharge/explore new ideas. Sometimes, new ideas/goals will come to you when you're taking a break. So, have a break, have a KitKat. 😆🍫 Since you guys just started your life in Malaysia back in February, you have fully committed to doing content at a full speed. It wasn’t easy for both of you to get the Nomad Pass, adjustment to new life, sourcing of new accommodation, the adaptation and your work must have tired you both. Being a full-time content creator is quite challenging. All those prep works (research, travelling, planning, narrating, shooting) and the most tiring editing part (compiling, QAQC), it’s like you guys are running a factory. Sometimes, the product isn’t what we wanted. Just want to say you guys did an amazing job, so give yourself a big pat on your shoulder. Big Hugs! 🙆‍♀🤜🤛 I’ve been through the burnt out and bottleneck stage, so I fully understand what you are facing right now. Don’t worry, what you both need now is a “ME” time, take a break, disconnect from work & social media, go out to the nature, take a deep breath, revisit old friends and rediscover yourself. After all, please be happy and trust the process! 🥳 I agree with what Daniel said. It’s because of your originality, that we, Malaysians appreciate so much. That is your STRENGTH and which makes you guys UNIQUE! So, just be yourself, you don’t have to suit everyone’s taste! 👻 If you need someone to talk to, drop by Kuching, Sarawak! 😸 I can be your tour guide and both of you can relax and enjoy your trip! Sending lots of love to you both! Ganbatte Kudasai! 🥰💪

[@ewansariasmara8215]

You are not burn out or lost because there are lots of things both of you can do instead of jalan jalan cari makan . This time you travel throughout Malaysia finding true colours of Malaysian's homestay . Shared with your fans staying overnight and cook with happiness and joyful together . We'll support you ❤❤

[@eleenalatif9853]

Well done iChang and Jimmy. Travelling makes you tired when you drive a long distance. You make people understand and appreciate the live feeling throughout the journey. Take a break, have a sauna or muscle relaxing activity😊. When your body's fresh, you mind will have great ideas. I remember you're looking for gems in Malaysia like gasing. Every place has that specialty. Not everything can be bought to bring back home. But your videos will be viewed multiple times over. Take your time.

[@hamidahrusli2359]

Terima kasih ichang dan Jimmy kerana video makanan di Malaysia,ramai org luar yg tahu skrg .semoga sehat selalu 👍👍 mantappp cute 🥰

[@ngyonghuei6577]

Thank you I-chang and Jimmy for spreading the positive vibe and energy through your content. You have led by example that everyone can be patient and kind to one another. It is so contagious and that reflects on how your followers act on to others. That itself is already one of the goals that you have achieved.

[@choplin1352]

It's completely normal to feel this way. Reach out to other fellow creators and/ or friends you know and explore what other type of content or opportunities are out there. In Singapore there is a Japanese creator Ghib Ojisan who when through what you guys did. It could be interesting to explore working with regional creators or simply take a short break from filming and enjoy life.

[@nashipear8816]

Don't underestimate what you have done. When you feel lost, these supportive feedbacks are the reason to continue ❤

[@YihshyongLeong]

iChang and Jimmy, your contents are always genuine, unassuming, accurate, positive and easy to follow. I have to say not many creators are able to simplify complex concepts and explain them so adequately and to-the-point. Your video from 1 month ago titled "What we find out about Malaysia after living here for 90 days...(Update)" is proof that you deeply understand how diverse Malaysia is. Illustrating this sophisticated culture is an extremely challenging task, and you have done it so well. Keep up the great work and thank you for sharing our beautiful country with the world! ❤

[@alexputra-w1u]

u pedatang cine 👲🏻😂. they come to malaysia to explore indigenour culture like malay iban dayak. not 👲🏻🧔🏿 culture😂

[@izairi274]

I agree with Daniel and Kak Ayu. I actually went to places that you guys visited and ate the foods that you tried, just because the both of you tried them. Otherwise, I wouldn't even bother to try the food 😂 Please take a break from creating content and recharge yourselves - it is common to feel burn out after having to create things! Perhaps you can do a survey and let your viewers suggest what content they want to see next, to help with coming up with new goals and ideas. Take care, we love you both! ❤

[@yourtravelbuddy87]

I believed you guys were the most honest and sincere youtuber I’ve ever followed..just take a chill and enjoy whatever you guys feeling to do 😊

[@fikrirazaq8373]

What i really like is when you guys attempted to make the local dishes like kuih keria and tepung pelita. For foreigners like you, being able and interested to produce local Malaysian food like that is so amazing.

[@apahvgplaytm]

iChang and Jimmy thank you for your videos. It entertained my family and myself alot throughout the gloomy times during Covid till now. This is just my suggestion maybe for your next project. How about you guys go Cuti-Cuti Malaysia. Go and explore paces in Malaysia, every state and district and vlog about the places you went, what you learnt, knowing the history, give us a tour of the hotels or airBnb that you stayed. We love to watch your views about the places you visit. And then, take up this challenge, in every state that you go to, learn how to cook their respective dishes in someone's house/restaurant. Learn from the LOCALS. So if you go to Negeri Sembilan, learn how to cook masak lemak cili api, itik salai..You go to Temerloh, Pahang, learn how to make authentic ikan patin gulai tempoyak or rendang daging opor...You go to Sarawak, and learn how to make umai, cake lapis and etc. Whatever your directions are, we still watch your videos. Even if you do a video trying to guess the names of kueh blindfolded. Love you both...

[@azmiescinex500]

Besides food, maybe you could just share your trip/experience to islands, new places in Malaysia. It's not just watching you guys trying Malaysian food that make us excited, but having you enjoying Malaysia that makes 'US' happy. Love you Guys. Keep on Youtubing. 🤟🏻👌🏻💪🏻

[@omnomnomnisaurus7069]

Hi Ichang and Jimmy! Everyone gets burnt out and lost while working. Your feelings are valid. You can expand to different formats of videos, different things to film. Your followers are a reflection of yourselves. You have been genuine and kind while making your videos, and you’re attracting the same people. So regardless of what you make or want to try to make, you will make someone happy! But above all, make yourself happy hehehe

[@farahfhh5457]

To be honest... I learned a lot about Malaysian foods thru your channel 😍 and I've been a malaysian for almost 5 decades 😅😅 even living in KL for over 2 decades & still never seen a lychee up front unless in a can 😅😅😅😅 take your time... Even you do lazy things we will watch them religiously showering both of you with lovessssss ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ arigato gozaimasu... For being yourselves ❤❤

[@lightvibe2374]

Please don't give up, Jimmy and iChang. Of course there are interesting ideas because you two are a sincere couple when making videos about Malaysia. We are always waiting for interesting videos from you two. But don't feel burdened by it. Keep enthusiastic and remember, every problem there is a solution.
