I love the Malaysian culture and missing it everyday I am away from my beautiful country. I live in Australia now and remember the times when I’m invited for tea at my Aussie friends place. Yes we still have fun but you will have “tea” and nothing else😂 But if you’re in Malaysia, the host will feed you a banquet and even “tapau” takeaway for you. This is the wonderful culture we have in Malaysia.

Don't worry, both of you will soon adapt to our culture and lifestyle. Burnout will be your past. Enjoy your food tour and adventure. Happy Birthday iChang

There is a secret line that we hold together after we are born. The line is one of our poems "Gendang gendut tali kecapi; Kenyang perut senang hati." 😃

Idk if we realized it or not but some Malaysians especially Malays are not used to expressing their feelings verbally or through affection/action so the elders usually convey their love to their kids through foods. To show they love and care for you, they cook/prepare delicious food. Thats their language. The more we eat, the more it seems like we appreciate their cooking and efforts. So that might be the reason why once we grow up, we love eating so much. We find love and comforts through foods coz thats how our parents show their affections.

😂😂. Sebenarnya orang Malaysia sangat suka memanjakan tetamu. Sebabn kami anggap tetamu sebagai rezeki yang harus kami hargai. Sebab gembira maka kami tidak rasa terbeban untuk membahagiakan tetamu. Mengajak makan adalah salah satu cara kami hargai tetamu kami. Jangan jemu dengan kami ya ❤

Oh my goodness. I can totally relate to this. Can you imagine? I'm an introverted Malaysian and my people are extroverts. Like you guys, I need to recharge myself after a gathering. It's not just the eating. It's also the non-stop talking and taking group photos constantly 😅

It is personality and barrier. Its not weird. Some people they charged their energy by meeting people. Some people enjoying being with people but it drained their energy. Some people love to be alone. Do not worry if you need rest, you rest. Take some quality rest. When hangout, if you need to go back early, just tell people politely. We are from different cultures, it take times to adapt. 😊

Hello Ichang & Jimmy, as muslims we're not just hunting for nice foods...we also feed our soul too... that make us muslims less burnt out... InsyaaAllah... ❤ Love both of you!!

this activity (eat, talk & walking around) we all practice each year during hari raya 😂😂. each house we visit, they prepare huge portion of food that we have to take in each time in order to respect house owner. can you imagine one day got 10 house, we’re already like doremon😂😂..

i think apart from eating, you guys can take a break and without filming enjoy yourself on a beautiful beach or maybe go East Coast to draw your own batik or try your hands on the wood carvings. Lush green forest of Sarawak staying in traditional rumah panjang..or maybe have the explorer spirit in you to enjoy walking everywhere in Penang town. There's a lot that you may enjoy that will heal and rejuvenate you. Not work all the time. Give yourself some relaxing time together ❤❤

Another great video!! I love it when you talk about positivity in Malaysian culture. We value our friends and family and we want to spend time with them. And a better way to spend time is to makan-makan together, laughing, smiling, healing, sharing story..... So that might be why we have high HP. Anyways, It's good that you guys are taking lots of rest and healing. Take some more rest if you need. Stay healthy. 💪💪

Sometimes, mom, dad, uncles and aunts would wake me up around 9:30 or 10 at night, ask me if I would like to join them for satay and seafood supper… I’d wake up, hop in the car in my pajamas and enjoy a feast half hour later. We get our training very early in life. Don’t worry, you guys will get the hang of it. PS - I’m glad you guys are getting a much needed break by visiting your favorite spots. Do take your time to relax and recharge. Enjoy

Ichang if you feel burnout again go out like camping, or doing outdoor activity, here are a lot of places you can visit and expolore to relax your body and mind like Taman eco rimba negeri selangor at ulu yam..there is such a nice place you can visit after this. 🌼🌼🌼🥰

I love your views on how you see Malaysians. Some of these things we don't see in ourselves, and it takes someone like you guys to point it out 😅

Aww IChang, your generous and kindly answer saying to many nice thing to us Malaysia, I've seen Japan and Japanese people are kind, nice and polite too. All of us Asian most of us have manner and cultured hehe. Where ever you go in Asia I'm sure local people with welcome you in open arm hehe 😊. Keep up with food vlogger, don't stop. We will always like to watch many kinds of food all over the world. Don't feel like you stuck. My partner retired and I been followed him for 20 years now retired and free from work is not. You just need to fill it with lots of activities. Maybe you can try hiking all over Malaysia not just food vlogger. Anyway keep up with posting video thanks 😊❤❤

I love to hear your conversation in this beautiful environment and sounds of birds. So calming. Honestly I'm not too interested in watching makan-makan videos, but this video I watch till the end. Please make content in beautiful places like this again,love to hear your conversation, regarding any simple topics

Good observation as we Malaysian doesn't realised how energetic we are. We can do JJCM whole day & craving the same food the next day.

I think another reason of your "burnt out" is because of what you eat. Malaysia food indeed are delicious, but many are super oily, super salty or super spicy. As a food vloggers like you guys, if not careful, eat too much of such food, of course will get yourself in a worse situation. Sometimes we still need to go back to eat simple and healthy food to avoid such heavy food that could cause us digestion problem hence causing us easy to feel tired. Healthy digestion means healthy life. Also, maybe the "canon" guy that took you to Penang then back to KL in one day is a 20 something years old young guy, and you need to get the fact that you guys are already 30 something, the metabolism isn't as good as when you are in your 10's, 20's time.

Very good blog today. I think Malaysians have high HP because 1) we are acclimatised to the weather,that’s why we can play sports in 35C when people from cooler climates struggle 2) we have grown up with so many mixed cultures and races,it becomes part of our character 3) Malaysians are open with their feelings and are tolerant of others 4)we love life and we live to eat and we have so much variety 5) Malaysians are generally very relax n have a tidak apa and boleh attitude Give it time, relax,enjoy and soon you will have 1000 HP. 👍👏👏

In a group of 4-5 Malaysian, being close to each other can help the whole group energise each other to keep 'HP' power level high to run throughout the day. That's is why when we hang out, personal space in between is reduced to nearly zero. 🤣 One of the factor in this HP matter is family. It's all started in a family. It is not just a single unit of family, husband, wife and children. Not just that. But also granddads, grandmas of both side, plus uncles aunties of both side, cousins, nieces, nephews. Plus family of in laws, family of cousins of twice removed. All these connection, interaction thoughtout the year, and repeated circle over and over years after years. These probably contribute to higher HP. You see, we Malaysian not only passionate about variety of food, but also the size of the family or you can call it almost a tribe. The bigger, the merrier, the better. So much energy shared, hence HP skyrocketing. 😂

Its interesting to hear about your HP theory but as you were explaining it i realized something maybe its actually coming from introversion and extraversion personality . It is said that extroverts gain energy from social situations and introverts are drained by social situations. I'm introverted so i avoid too many human interactions otherwise i am exhausted. Because you have many fans you tend to interact with highly extroverted people who gain or drain a lot of energy from you (nobody's fault). I think you are very careful in interacting with the locals this anxiety can be very draining. Its just my theory anyways from what i learned. Maybe reducing social anxiety might help you preserve more energy or perhaps taking many breaks from social interaction might help. I always enjoy your videos eating or not.👍😄

hahaha... couldn't agree more. I have lived in Japan for about 13 years. So I feel you. I think I understand what you are talking about... 😀

Wow.....this is a whole new dynamism i sense....love it, its a whole new perspective of how you guys feels and a way help me understand my malaysian perspective too....love it guys

Maybe you can do content about hiking/ jungle/outdoor experience in malaysia? Close to nature maybe can make you better 😮.

hi ichang n jimmy. i am an orang asli (indigenous) of malaysia from ulu selangor. 😊 me and my husband love watching your videos so much. i can relate to both of you so much in this video 😂 i think it is more about the personality of the person. most Malaysians are extroverted while Japanese are mostly introverted persons. as an introvert person, i also dont have high HP 😂 i cant socialize with people too much or else i got drained out easily. for me eating out/ jalan2 the whole day is really exhausting. like jimmy said, if i use all my energy jalan2 all day, i will end up getting fever too the next day. 😂😂😂 but sometime i cant resist this, because most of my malaysians friends are extroverted. so i just go with the flow, try to adapt with them, at the same time try to limit my movement to reduce using much energy 😂 as a social introvert, i love hanging out with friends and family members but i just do it once a week. That's my limit 😂 next time, i hope you may try orang asli /indigenous culture. most org asli live far in the forest and we have a unique and distinct culture and way of life. 😊😊😊 wish you all the best ❤ がんばってください !!!

I've never really commented before but this is an interesting topic. I think one reason why lots of Malaysians are considered "high HP" is because we were born into a culture that forces us to mix with different ethnicities from young. When we mix with people of different background from us, we become curious, ask questions, get to know each other's culture and we are still learning it everyday. The opportunity to mix with people from different backgrounds make us curious and energetic in talking to people. Another reason is that Malaysia's history is filled with colonization. It was not too long ago that we had to gather Malaysians for all kinds of culture and ethnicity to do protests, gathering and discussions to negotiate with our colonizers to give us freedom. Even during the negotiation of independence, Malaysia was already multi-cultural, so each ethnicity also have to voice out their opinions to form a cohesive society. That is why Malaysians are naturally quite talkative that don't mind yelling their opinions out loud. As for food, I think it is because Malaysia wasn't in control of its destiny during colonization times. Our resources were exploited and people lived in poor conditions. After that, we slowly moved to a middle class society and hence, the older generation still has scars of how food is hard to come by. So, whenever there's food, Malaysians view it as a celebration and a time of comfort. This culture has been passed down from the older generation to the young and from then on Malaysians use food to bond with each other and celebrate our history.

I found this movie very interesting. It helps me understand what Japanese people are surprised at when they live with Malaysian people. But I'm sure that you guys (iChang and Jimmy) will adapt yourselves to life there in Malaysia pretty soon, make the barrier lower, and will not be fatigued even after a day full of eating and doing a lot of things. From Japan, I'm looking forward to watch the progress through your future movies. Keep up your good work!

Jimmy ❤️ iChang.. Don't get stress of searching the "HP" of Malaysians. Just be happy and blend in slowly with us. Malaysian HP will slowly transfer to both of you 💞🇲🇾

Easy answer. Malaysian HP is high because we really know when to relax. That's it. But saying that we also have our days when we are stressed. To find the balance is pretty tricky.

I appreciate you both honest reviews and thoughts ❤ i always find that Japanese people tend to have higher or deeper thoughts on matters that mean the most to them..and i really like that. Not many of us would go through and taking time in these thought process. I have watched this reality tv show called Terrace House (Japan) and i really enjoyed the way they communicate and discuss over things - friendship, relationship, career, hobbies, etc. Eventhough your burnout problem seems minor to us Malaysian and we would tell or give you advises on what to do to overcome them, we certainly do not put the most weight or thought on it. We think its as easy as go out and eat n relax but you both have came up with talking openly about it and weighing seriously about it which i always find deeper conversations like this helpful but less done in my society. I hope i make sense 😅 keep having these deeper discussions and conversations w us bcz some of us really need to understand or want to be involved but obviously we cannot 😅 that being said, i also enjoy having time out from being out and about when things get too busy in my daily life. Just enjoy the calmness of my own space and take some time until im ready to get back hanging out w friends and back to the normal lifestyle. I hope you have success in your future undertaking and just do as how you both would do to enjoy your life. We would definitely learn a tjing or two from both of you. Always rooting for you both!!❤😃👍👏🤲💕

I always thought Malaysians are a more extraverted society and Japanese are more introverted (which explains why they are a bit more reserved than most people around the world). Having said that, just do you Jimmy & iChang. It's two different energy/personality altogether when we look at it objectively. It's totally ok to not be able to keep up with most "outgoing" / energetic people around you - it doesn't make you any less weaker or not good enough. You're just programmed differently that's all. I mean..even for me, most times I get drained trying to keep up with the "go go go" lifestyle in KL. What more for both of you who only moved here since February. Take it easy, ok? In time, you'll find the balance of how much you feel worthy of exerting your energy towards the things and people you decide to spend your time with. We are all humans, and doing content is a lot more intense and hard work that we think. Just enjoy your time being here, mojo will come when you're more at peace mentally and spiritually. We can wait. The internet world can wait while you recuperate. Now that you've come to this point, facing your maximum limit for HP..mind over matter too. After this, you're rewriting your HP meter :) ジミーさんとイチャン、あなたは思っているより強いですよ。大丈夫ね。お誕生日おめでとうイチャン！！

Hi Ichang and Jimmy, maybe its also nice to make video that dont only revolve around food only. I am sure everyone would love to see your reaction visiting cultural place or doing some local activity or games etc with the local. Even a video where both of you sit and discuss your view and experience would have been interesting for most Malaysian. Wishing you the best

I love your channel so much! It is nice to watch these kind of videos from you guys. My prayers always with you guys. Hopefully you guys will adjust to life in Malaysia in your own way. I used to really love listening to my late sensei talk about the Japanese culture. And you guys revive that memory all the time ❤️🫶🏻

Malaysian like to entertain their guest by giving as much meal than can.

I think our culture trained us to be that way. We eat and socialize a lot since kids..babies even😂 So it is not a superpower, but more of a skill. Great observation Ichang & Jimmy😁

Thx for the open minded honest sharing of your thought about Malaysia-Japan culture differences. Yours actually shared more in-depth observations that other foreign KZfaqr never share before. It does also help us (at least for me it does) to learn more about Japanese people mindset and their culture, it is interesting!

Ichang & Jimmy, what you are experiencing is called malaysian hospitality. When we go out with our guest we make sure they are well taken care of. We treat them like family. That means we make sure they are well fed. We will take them to all the best makan places. After all we have the best food in the world 😂. And the power that you are referring to is called love!

Be like a train. It needs to start slow before going full speed.🥰 Don't worry about saying ' no ' if you don't feel about doing something. People will understand🥰🥰 Be yourselves. If you're happy, then we your subscribers will be happy as well 🥰🥰🥰 Lastly, if you need to recharge and refresh by going offline from time to time, we will still be here when you come back. 🥰🥰🥰🥰

You both are so nice to describe it as HP. Never thought that way 🤣The best way to come together is indeed with food. We invite friends over or go to a makan place together. 'Eat, laugh, talk' is exactly what brings us all together as friends, family, and even business deals start from a nice meal. Hyeaaaaaaaa! is so true 🤣eat alot and laugh loud loud is the best way to feel happy hahaha

I like that both of you have showed us how to enjoy simple things in life as a couple, to rejuvenate and recharge together by taking strolls, eat healthy or excerise. Don't really need to travel in order to relax. Not many couples do that together. Maybe is the hectic life in cities. The only way could be a desired holiday and spend money on travel. Both of you are so down-to-earth and real. Love watching your videos ❤❤❤

i really like what u r discussing today, about HP and its connection with peoples eating habit😅as u said it is not about portion n it is true.. sometimes we simply eat because we have 'nak rasa/ nak try, nak cuba ' attitude...😍

how about you try camping as the new adventure? it's trending...you can do review for the campsite...you can cook...you can enjoy the nature...and it's healing...

Now I know the strength of Malaysian...ultra food lover. Listen to your frank talk, it's like a mirror to Malaysian habit.

What a nice theory of increasing and decreasing HP form you. I'm using this video in my Thinking Skill class. I'll ask my students to extract all the point into various thinking tools. I'll like to comment too but after my class today. This is such a nice discussions to elobrate.

Hi Jimmy and iChang. I always watch but never leave comments on ur vlog. Today i feel like commenting because i liked the way you guys elaborating about the Malaysian's HP. It is very interesting topic/research to learn and or to discuss. Food is not the only thing that gets Malaysian higher HP. But I'd love to hear your findings.

It must be difficult to keep up with the Malaysian lifestyle, even though it's normal for most of us, but I know you guys had to do the best with us. No wonder one day you will be stronger and adapt with us. One more thing is most Malaysians are understanding people and cheerful, somehow comes with "crazy power of hang out" ⊂⁠(⁠(⁠・⁠▽⁠・⁠)⁠)⁠⊃

I like videos like these that iChang and Jimmy are discussing the cultural differences. Keep it up guys~

I agree with some of the comments about extrovert and introvert. Japanese in general are also extremely polite and careful about others' feelings, hence it takes a lot of mental energy in public, especially when you are filming or when fans come up to you. I think what you did is very good, to take rest and relax in a more private manner, to recharge the energy. Another thing you can do is to travel in a neighboring country that you maybe less famous.

You actually can teach us how to cook japanese food it might intereting...

Take it as what it is, enjoy what you do mentality. Example, malaysian will go balik kampung every raya, this weekend will be long drive to east coast because of cuti raya. There are people who enjoy this long drive ( maybe 12 hours or more), it makes they feel the raya atmosphere better😄

after waiting for few days, now i am happy again, watching your great video... take my stress away. thank you very much, keep up the good works.

Maybe both of you can take a bit of effort to organise or to participate in Sukan rakyat events,somewhere in the village.❤❤❤❤❤

Visit Langkawi for a week and for sure you can easily produced 6-7 videos. Many things to explore there as well ❤❤❤❤. Make a content about Island Tour, Waterfalls, Cave exploration, Cultures and etc. Aaaarrrrgkkhhhh I missed Langkawi ❤

you don't have to eat everything yourself. you can just take videos of your friends eating and share with others. also enjoy other things in life other than just eating. eating and food is just part of malaysian culture but not everything. also you can do mountain hiking, national parks, beaches, help us discover more areas not many locals been to...so your content more than just eating and finding food maybe. of course you can find nice food in your journey is a bonus.

Don't worry iChang.. As introvert person, I'm also sometimes having Fever the next day from fatigue. ‘Introvert Hangover’ is REAL...

My foreign friends said the digestive system of Malaysians are very good because they talked and laughed loudly when dining and never stopped eating. Yes, we are high in HP and not forgetting also high in BP (blood pressure)😂😂😂 There is no barrier over here, we can addressed anyone freely in our multi racial /cultural country of our lovely Malaysia. In Japan, the terms of barrier is there because of “senpai/kohai” (respect of Senior / Junior) are used on a daily basis both at school and in the workplace.

An honest, and entertaining, sharing of views. 😄HP = Health Points or, in my mind, I refer it to High Performance. We don't realize these until outsiders share their perspectives as uninvolved and independent parties. Makan is always on top of our minds (together with something else, which I will not mention here 😉).

just a suggestion for your content, makes them in varieties in exploring Malaysia. Breaking the item to be explored into different parts: beaches, forestry parks, flora n fauna, ethnic cultures, festivals : relate your feeling and reactions to all those experiences. Hope this suggestion would relieve the burn out..Keep it up and never giving up.

Hi Jimmy and Ichang, I love listening to you talk/discuss like this. I love your makan2 videos and also your cooking videos too, but when you discuss things like this, somehow it is interesting to hear your thoughts on Malaysian culture and how it is different to yours. I think that you should definitely take time to rest. Even myself as a Malaysian, need to take rests. I rest for 11 months and go out like crazy for a month 😂 out of the year (I live abroad) Anyway, keep up your research on Malaysian Dragonball and please take care of your health (physical and mental) so that you can keep posting these videos.

Dont worry i chang and jimmy... just take time off from youtube and enjoy staying in Malaysia... we always support you guys...

Love to see u back. Even you are talking a simple topic but you make a huge impression. Take a good rest. Be happy don’t worry. We all malaysian support you😊

Selamat pagi i chang & jimmy...wahh awal upload video...

We are very soulful moslems...so am I "Alhamdulillah, (Thank you The Almighty Allah)"... always strong, tolerant, fill with love & patience, constantly learning & unlearning, ever-caring, forgiving & understanding. ...we feel happy when the world is happy & peaceful...Ur new VT indicates a re-birth;... "an alluring, sincere, relaxing conversational experience on the M'sia soil". Keep it up..u r on the rite track! Lotsa ❤❤❤❤

Halfway watching through your video, I think it may also be a case of you're introverted. Introverts can socialise from time to time, but will need to retreat to a quiet space to rejuvenate and "heal" as you said. Because socialising really depletes one's energy and to recover from it requires some alone time that's quiet and doing activities that relaxes one's self (whatever that may be). I'm an introvert myself. In your case, that probably doesn't revolve around food and people. Quiet and peace is what I think you need, from time to time. Anyway, just my two cents. May not be accurate, but I enjoyed this video as I do all your videos. Take your time and do things in your own pace, IChang and Jimmy. ❤

Perhaps you both can continue this kind of content. “Bual bicara ichang & jimmy” Love to watch the discussion , conversation, talk, on the topic like this. Your observation and experience. Please consider to add more. I like the one you share on 1) dragon ball 2) HP power 3) … more to come.

Hello guys!! I enjoyed watching this video! I love it when both of you discuss about a topic and listen to your ideas :)

I would like to express my view about personal space especially for the malay muslim. We have little "barrier " may be a result of the congregational prayers that is still very strongly practised whereby during prayers we have to pray shoulder to shoulder. Although not everyone goes to the mosque everyday, at least during Ramadhan many still go for the tarawih prayers and usually we have a potluck makan afterwards...and mingle with friends and neighbours and catch-up with the goings-on...the next Ramadhan we see same crowd again but with additions to their family and whatnot.. more conversations and food and makan...😂 recharge HP 1000...😅 By the way I love how you try to make sense of the malaysian culture. Hope you won't get too exhausted trying... Stay safe and healthy..❤

Malaysia was blessed with natural resources...lot of food and feeding people is a cultural things...if you live in kampung area you won't get starving even you don't have anything...they always giving food to the neighborhood...there are kenduri kahwin, akikah, tahlil, kesyukuran many other kenduri...even you go to the maghrib prayer daily there are always people giving food...if you starving just ask anybody you see...they will 'belanja' you...its an honor if you get to 'belanja' people....

seeing you guys love to talk about malaysian cultures and food.. it would be lovely if you guys share some of your cultures and food too😊

Hello Ichang and Jimmy.... Waaaa.... I'm glad that you show us this video... Now it is time to know more about Malaysian culture... 😁😁😁 New dragonball... As a malaysian, i think most of us are living in this culture since we were kids... There is a word that we call it "silaturrahim" ... back then when we were kids... We acknowledge this "silaturrahim" mostly during an important event, like kenduri, hari raya, jamuan ( makan2) , during family day, we all had this kind of vibe... Helping each other, talking to each other .. eating together...know each other... It is a bonding time.... so time by time, it is in our blood already... We did the same, including to our guest, or friends, and neighbours ... that is why, most of malaysian are can break the ice freely... Of course there are people that are introvert... Not talking.. but it become more extrovert when you get to know them.. so this "Silaturrahim" means ( to make a bond) .. it is from the arab word.. "silah"- the rope, "Rahim" - the womb .. or in other simple word, to make bond with love... Just how a mother love her child .. that is how we practice.. we talk, we eat together, we know more each other... And we take care of each other, then spread the love... 💕😁 Just imaging, if u are not talking to anybody, doing things individually... Walking around alone.. then you may not feel the love... And more likely we will feel lonely... As u know, we malaysian are living in diversity .. we had all kind of celebrations, occasions... that when we gathered , this is the time for "silaturrahim" . And its never get boring... 💕🌸😁 By the way, there will be hari raya aidiladha in 2 days... So if you had a time, do explore it... You will see, what I mean with this "Silaturrahim".. 😁😁😁 happy hari raya Ichang and Jimmy... Take care both of you... 💕😊

konnichiwa! ichang and jimmy, a very good insightful video! we bumped into you before in Jaya Grocer. As a Malaysian who lived abroad for more than 10 years, I can relate to your experiences being here in Malaysia. Also as creatives, we need downtime to do absolutely doing nothing (of course house chores would always be there). This all summer weather has been draining us, and even though my husband and I were born and raised in Malaysia our lifestyle and habits, our perceptions, interest, wavelength are not the same anymore. Maybe it has changed back then before we left South East Asia. We certainly do not enjoy eating out or going from mall to malls/places the whole day. Unless it's for work, we would rather have downtime at home and just chill/read/watch. it's certainly not a healthy lifestyle to be drowning in eating, thus why the obesity cases here has been rising (I'm pointing out, some people might get offended). Take your time, creating contents require a lot of creativity. You do not need to be like other average Malaysians or fitting in, just be yourselves. I think one of the good thing being a content creator is the way you view your current adopted country. People who never left their comfort zones might not always see the things you'd see, and that's ok. They would be more appreciative of the new things you'd discover, perhaps they themselves never knew because they have been ingrained in their set lifestyle. Speaking for myself, I'm ok not being with the Malaysian lifestyle, even though I hold the same passport. Right now I'm just enjoying things that I haven't seen before, discovering new things, new people in my birth country before we leave again. otsukaresama deshita!

Good to hear your update, after this instead of just eating, you can also do holiday video, going to Islands, Rivers, Mountains...it will also be interesting. Both of you experience more of Malaysian culture.

don't think too much...be happy and easy..we Malaysian always give welcome yours..love..support

Dear ichang & jimmy..its ok to be burnt out sometime..dont worry both of you will be adapt our lifestyle soon..hehe we love to watch your videos.. watching you talk like this we also enjoyed 😂 always happy & healty.. sorry my bad English ya ❤

Glad you guys found your grooves back. Enjoy the break.

I enjoy your conversations which each other. Your observations are fun to listen to.

Very interesting sharing you have here. To share my experience, me and my wife have had a few close friends under MM2H from Japan over the last 15 yeears or so. Some of them have gone back to Japan during or after the pandemic. When we used to take them out to eat or introduce them to our Malaysia cuisine, I too get the comments that they are fool, can't eat more. etc while we put more and more food on their plate :) Makan is our past time and we do get overly energtic in sharing. During those times, I can sort of sense that they some times get uneasy or a bit annoyed by us doing that. Your sharing bring back my memories of these events. Your sharing have also help me understand that, your culture maybe a bit more reserved, individualistic and need personal space. I can understand how you would get burned out with our enthusiasim for food and for sharing good food. It feels bad to not being able to finish food and wastage when it is also hard that you can really eat more.....and Malaysian's around keep wanting to share more..... It is tiring and hard to say NO and that can build stress. So it is ok to say NO to us when enough is enough :) No need to get HP 1000 haha

Dont give up. I hope both of you find yours resolution. Stay strong 💪

Wahhh. I am excited to follow the progress of these mental dragonball research. Keep it up 💪

This is one nice content. As for me, I did not watch you only for foodie content. I love to see you sharing all aspect regarding your experience. Sharing this kind of topic is really interesting to hear. We did not seek for each of our weaknesses, but we learn how to strengthen our own value, me as Malaysian and you as yourself. Perviously, I do want to suggest you to do collaboration with other content creator, to prevent creativity block. But you share that you have introvert value (more or less), it will strain your energy more than it should be. I don't know the actual logic behind extrovert-introvert thing, but I learn that extrovert recharge their energy when they see people to do activity, while introvert recharge their energy away from human interaction. If you did not have any idea to do, please share something like this. It make me smile hearing this kind of topic.

But it's true that we communicate easily with everyone 😂😂 that's our culture. Yes, it's in our Malaysian DNA 👍👍 didn't realize it before .. Jimmy you are hilarious in your description.. you might be right .. HP pulak 🤭🤭

Alhamdulillah Malaysia is a blessed country🥰🙏...makan is one of our strongest and specialties way😅✌️😋...that's why many food varieties can get in Malaysia...i hope ichang & jimmy can enjoy & make a more wonderful content video about it, ...staysafe & tkecre 😊❤👍🙂

Thanks for sharing! Love hearing your insights.

Malaysian has no barrier when talking, just genuine honest free talk. No need energy to filter thoughts or behaviour. Just Freely. Extrovert: gain energy when socialize Introvert: loss energy when socialize. I keep it balance as i do business., at day talking² to customer, at night secluded in my room and sleep early to recharge.

We have less barriers. sometimes we don't think too much about things and just follow the flow.. The only exercise for it is just stop thinking and analyzing too much😅

I watched your Burnt Out vid and this. Well. Hope you guys get enough rest and not rush through things. It is the same for every thing from content, game, ideas, food eating. It takes time to build up and experience things fully. As time goes, you will gain the 1000HP like us Malaysians. Gambatte.

So i chang.. to sum it up.. dont worry be happy... grab what you can and let go of some.. stay charming guys.. love is the key

I can give a good example between japanese barrier and malaysian barrier. I brought my son to swim at the condo pool. At the same time there was a japanese man and his son. After some time his son and my son started playing, and his son spoke good english. In malaysia when the children start playing its a signal for the parents to start "small talk". Its the friendly and polite thing to do. So I say good morning, have you eaten, wah your sons english so good lah. The japanese father ignored me the whole time haha. So I was in malaysian mode but the japanese guy was still in tokyo subway mode, but in malaysia.

The supplement is "enjoy the moment, we enjoy what we have at the moment, we meet people we talk, we see food we eat... this is all.blessing to me, as a Malaysian. Stranger or friends don't come in our life twice. When we can meet, or nice things we see.. we appreciate it by enjoying their company. This is Malaysian. Welcome to be part of us.

Malaysian…..when WE and I stay INSIDE or OUTSIDE Malaysia , WE and I still proud to be a Malaysian,,,,many thanks to both of you with conversations…..❤❤ 18:34

Maybe the weather causing high HP? Warm weather burn fat or consume energy faster, then we eat eat eat to regain.

I like the way both of you talk to each other. The subjects can be about anything, even nonsense but the exchange of opinions is always respectful and fun. Me and my partner, we communicate telepathically, I look at her and she looks at me and it is all done in less than 10 seconds. I miss the banter sometimes.

I appreciate you guys voicing out the indifferences. Socializing with people is always going through hell for me, as an introvert Malaysian with some health condition which makes me even more inward. This video comfort me, and i understand you guys, cheers!! ps I also do not understand how they always have high HP. I need some enlightening as well.

Thank u. Wonderful video.

Btw...happy birthday Ichang, may you, Jimmy & family be blessed with happiness, health & prosperity always ❤❤

That's why I love both of you so much.....so pure and honest .........take a good rest ......

I thin you guys are by default introverts. I am Malaysian an actually feel the same when I'm with many other Malaysians. Malaysians in general tend to be more extroverted, or at least, passionate about food. But like you guys said, not everyone is the same and I know I belong to the minority, but don't worry, quite many Malaysians are like you guys, too. It could also be that they are usually not extroverted but since you guys are not locals, their hospitality level and passion goes up with you guys. I have seen this many times before, it seems to be quite normal. 😅

Keep doing what we all loved you to do.. you are the best!

iChang and Jimmy, Malaysians are not a complex human. We does not think too much about where the food go, how it process, and so on LOL. We think, eat food when hungry, feeling full and stop. Same goes to conversation with strangers. We love to communicate. Communication give us energy to go thru hefty day. It is hard for Malaysian, die alone (like in Japan recently) as we are like a bees. Move and absorb the changes around us quickly. Like a hive members. Got one words to represent this. Masuk kandang kambing mengembek, masuk kandang kerbau menguak. Literally means, when we are in a new environment, we must adapt it. The sooner the better. How to gain HP like Malaysian. Be happy, try to be happy, must be happy. When you are happy, everything will be at ease. Thats how you got abundance of energy. Why not to be happy? As our life too short for sadness!

can try go beaches like pulau perhentian and langkawi and redang and semporna.. or.. go hike mountain in kota kinabalu.. or weekend cycling near The Central Park, Desa Park City and Taman Botani Negara, Shah Alam. Eat morning breakfast VCR cafe in KL. and take a walk in klcc and bukit bintang. just try to do something special. go for swim, or some exercise.. might freshen you up.
