Hi. This is Zaden right?
Ya, Zaden. Hi Zaden. Good morning.
On our very first live national television appearance, in Malaysia
Zaden crashed it!
Let me tell you guys what happened.
So, a few weeks ago, TV3 and their special show called Borak Kopitiam reached out to us and said
'Hey, we'd like to invite you guys to be on our show'.
And we were ecstatic. We've never been on live television before.
We were nervous, but we were really excited for the opportunity.
But the problem was my parents were actually gone, and so we had to take care of the boys
by ourselves. So we had to time it out perfectly. I made sure that Kyren's nap was just at the right time
And for Zaden, he doesn't nap then. So we broke a family rule and we let him use our iPad to watch a show
And we put him in the room way at the end of the hall
So, all the way at the end of the hall. We put him in that room over there so he can watch an iPad show.
And it was a Kumaar Family video too
And right here. Right at this table over here is where we set up everything so that we can actually take the interview.
And actually I had also put a video camera so I can see Zaden the whole time.
And I had the monitor next to me so I can see him. Yeah. Where's the monitor? It is over here.
There we go. Its actually Kyren sleeping there right now.
So right now Kyren is sleeping there but that's where we were watching Zaden during the interview.
So I had it set up like this.
And while I was doing the interview, we were watching Zaden on the screen right, and all of a sudden..
He's missing from the screen. And I'm like, oh shoot.
He is totally walking over to come to us. And already my mind is like, shoot, what's gonna happen here.
And you could hear his little footsteps running down the hallway here.
We could literally hear that and we knew it was happening.
So initially I was like, it's totally fine. He can just join our interview and be a cute coincidence.
And we will just run with it.
But then... exactly like that.
All of a sudden he started...
So just like that halfway he just came in and he started saying stuff right during the video.
And my focus was all over the place at that point. I have no idea what I was saying.
Let's check out the video
Definitely quite bad. The cases keeps increasing every day.
And news about highest record keeps happening everyday.
The problem is many do not want to follow the covid rules here. Thats the biggest problem here.
But covid cases keeps rising.
Did you see yourself on there?
Did you crash our live TV session buddy? Did you have fun doing it?
I think you enjoyed that.
So when Zaden was sitting with me and started talking, I just didn't know what to do.
I realized I kinda had two choices.
I could try to calm him down, on live TV.
And, I don't know about you guys. But my toddler is not the most predictable child in the world.
As you can see.
Or I could take him back to the room and try to solve whatever is happning.
So as you can tell in the video, I ended up doing that. I walked out with him, back to the room.
So I saw, poor kid, the wifi had stopped working on the iPad, so the video had stopped.
So that's why he was asking me, what's happening. He didn't know what the video wasn't working.
So I fixed that as fast as I could. And then came back for the rest of the interview.
But another thing also happened during the interview.
They actually asked Rachel to sing Rasa Sayang.
Wait wait wait, did they ask you to sing Rasa Sayang?
No. So this is what happened. Before we actually went live with the interview, we were talking with the hosts.
And they asked me if I could sing in Malay.
And I have actually been practicing Rasa Sayang. So I said, yes, I can sing Rasa Sayang.
And they were so happy about that.
And then a little bit before the interview in Malay they asked Logesh, hey, we can all sing with Rachel.
And I did not know this because they said it in Malay.
And Logesh was like, oh no, Rachel can do it by herself.
And they asked me, oh Rachel, you can do it?
So I thought they were just making sure that I would be fine singing the song. I'm like, oh yeah I can do it.
I don't find out until after that they had volunteered for all of us to sing it together.
I would've said yes please.
So I sing Rasa Sayang and I forgot the last line of the song.
And I was so embarrassed. It was so embarrassing.
You did pretty well, it was good!
She just missed one part at the very end. But she kept going and she completed it.
I think the funniest part about that is that the line that I missed translated means, I'm a new student.
If I'm wrong, correct me. Yeah.
Let's watch the video, where is it?
Actually we have seen a video. We heard and saw Rachel singing in Logesh's video.
Can Rachel sing for us right now for our viewers?
This song. What song did we chat about earlier? Rasa Sayang. Rasa Sayang.
Can Rachel?
(sings in Malay)
Woah, good job! Actually thats very good.
Not bad right? It was really good. Guys..
remember, this is not YouTube stuff. With YouTube stuff, we can re-record our lines, you know.
We can cut out the stuff that we did bad. This is live television.
We were already so nervous. Our hearts were beating so fast.
And she had to sing in a foreign language.
That's really really impressive. So embarrassing guys.
But ever since that day, she kept practicing and practicing. I have. I have been practicing.
Ya, and she also has been singing it with the.. ukulele? Ukulele.
You should perform. You want to perform today? Get it right. Finally. Once and for all.
I can do that. I did change the last line though that I messed up.
She changing lines and stuff. Am I gonna get in trouble for that? We'll find out.
Am I going to get in trouble with Malaysians for changing a folk song?
You gotta play the song first. We will determine if its acceptable or not.
Okay. Let's find out. Let's do it.
Okay, i think we are in tune.
Okay, so I have been learning how to play Rasa Sayang. Shoutout to Khim from Seasons Kitchen in Southern California.
She had met with me over video chat to teach me how to play the ukulele.
And I have been practicing a lot but its still really hard
to learn how to play and learn how to sing in Malay. But I will do my best.
All of a sudden I'm feeling really nervous. I know this is not live TV, but it’s still very nerve wrecking.
Here it goes...
(Sings in Malay)
Whoa you did it.
That was so great.
It's not perfect, but I'll keep working on it.
Yeah, you even threw that minah salleh part in there.
It just... it felt right. It felt like it should be minah salleh for me.
You're owning that minah salleh, huh.
You know. I'm still learning. So tell me if I can get things wrong so I can improve.
But guys, if you have any Malay songs you think I should learn how to play on the ukulele.
Leave it down in the comment section down below. And I will try my best to learn it.
Look at you, you did so well. I'm so proud of you.
Right? What do you guys think? Didn't she do so well?
I need to keep practicing, but it was fun.
Yeah. But anyways guys, getting on live TV is definitely an experience.
It is so nerve wracking. Our hearts were pounding the whole time.
And I cannot believe that they actually mentioned that I look like Fikry Ibrahim.
I know, right? I couldn't believe they brought that up. Yeah.
What do you guys think, do I really look like Fikry Ibrahim?
But I managed to do an Instagram live with Fikry Ibrahim.
And that was super fun. Fikry seemed like a really chill dude.
A really fun hilarious guy.
If you guys want to check out that video, go to his Instagram profile.
And you can check it out in the IGTV section.
You guys sounded like you were having a lot of fun. Yeah.
I didn't understand most of it because it was all in Malay.
But it sounded like you were having a good time.
