Hello, guys.
Yes.
We're back.
No, no, no, no, no.
We're Bach.
Argh...
First joke of 2020, oh...
2021...
First joke of 2021, it's not 2020 anymore.
Yeah!
Hope you guys all had a happy New Year.
Yup.
We just wanted to make this video just to...
You know, catch up with you guys.
Yeah, we're very excited to be Bach.
Yes.
And ready to Handel everything...
- Oh, oh. - ...This year.
No more Haydn.
Anyway...
I... I guess...
Firstly, we wanted to say thank you all for being patient
and being super supportive.
- Mhm. - I mean, especially...
You, I'm sure, you were able to see...
How much um...
Our viewers were able to support us during this...
Very difficult time for you.
And yeah, it was...
Quite honestly, very strange for us.
We've never taken such an extended...
Though it wasn't really a break, it was more like...
Brett was bedridden for three weeks.
Yeah, but I guess I want to say thank you for sticking around.
We're back to making some exciting,
fresh new content for you guys.
Do you want to tell people how it felt,
what you went through?
Yeah.
I think it was around like October?
When I first kind of felt a bit off.
Yeah, it was...
- I think it was October, yeah? - 8PM...
I forgot what day it was, but it was right after dinner.
Yeah, it was right after dinner.
I felt something happen to me.
And all of a sudden, I felt like I wanted to faint or something.
Just didn't feel normal at all, like...
I knew I didn't feel normal.
And then Eddy was there,
he was like, "What's up? Are you dehydrated?"
Then we'd try all those things.
Then the conclusion really quickly was about 15 minutes in,
You know, let's go to the hospital, just...
- Just in case. Yeah. - Just in case.
So, we got to the hospital, and then...
Did all the check ups, you know, usual...
Everything seemed normal, actually.
And after that test...
I mean, there was a slight suspicion...
It could have been something, but it wasn't enough.
Then, so I was kind of like recommended to a specialist.
But, I felt better after that.
Yeah, actually, um...
No, I think credit to the doctor at the emergency then,
'cause he was like...
He pointed out based off...
'Cause you were just feeling like really faint
- and like tired and no energy. - Yeah.
But then he said something like...
"Some young people tend to get this."
So, he tested for one particular thing that isn't in the usual thing.
And that turned out to lead you to the specialist.
- Yes, that's true. - Yeah.
Because if he didn't test that, we would've not known.
Because I felt better straight away.
After being at the hospital for...
- Just resting, right? Yeah. - Just resting an hour, 2 - 3 hours.
I would've thought maybe it's just a temporary thing.
- Yeah. - Which I kind of did.
So then, you know, the doctor did a really good diagnosis.
Mhm.
And then...
This leads to a whole series of
my health declining over the month.
Obviously though, we kept filming.
- Yup. - Cause I thought I was okay, you know, I was like...
Nah, not a big deal, let's keep filming.
It also took a while to kind of figure out what it was.
There was two possibilities.
- Um, I mean, I don't know how... - Yeah.
Detail you want to go into sharing with the world your...
Med - Private medical condition. Probably not a good idea.
- No, no, no, but yeah, there were two possibilities. - I should let you tell the story, yeah.
Yeah.
And we went with one first...
- Yeah. - To start kind of like treating myself.
It wasn't the right one.
And it was weird 'cause it was like in and out, you know.
Yeah.
But then, so a month passed.
- Yeah. - Not treating for the right thing.
- Progressively got worse. - Yeah.
I mean, I did a few more tests actually, throughout the period
and still wasn't 100% sure.
And...
I kept filming, you know, I kept working,
'cause you know, things have to keep moving.
And then...
Hasn't learned.
Yeah.
And then um...
It got to a point where...
I mean, Eddy saw it, it got to a point where I just...
It felt like hell, like it was so bad.
I couldn't move, I couldn't walk.
I'd never seen him like that in my whole life.
No, like...
Yeah, it was pretty messed up.
- It was pretty messed up. - I was...
Pretty scared but I also felt like I had to remain calm.
- Yeah. - 'Cause one of us needed to be calm.
Yeah, so Eddy was luckily there just being the rock and just
holding it together.
While I'm just trying to like, survive.
Survive, yeah.
And Eddy's kind of doing a lot of the...
- Like thinking through the research... - Doing research and
kind of what I'm eating, what I'm doing, my patterns...
I was trying as well, but I was in no state to think critically.
And then, that's...
You know, took a while to figure out what it was.
Luckily, we figured it out.
Yeah, eventually we got a scan.
- Um... - Yup.
And then...
And that conclusively let us find out what it was.
Yup.
- And we got the right treatment. - And...
Got the right treatment.
And you've been getting better.
Ever since then, that's right, like...
I'm here now talking, before I couldn't really talk.
Yeah, he could barely talk.
My voice was just like...
"Hey..."
I couldn't summon any energy, so...
Yeah, a bit scary, but now I'm a lot better.
- Yeah. - I'm walking around, I can do normal things.
Um, I can have bubble tea.
- Hmm. - Drink coffee.
Hmmhmm.
Eat bread, eat rice.
He's having like these really weak half shot coffees.
- Yeah, I know. - He's still slowly getting back into it.
I can practice now, thank god, you know.
- Yeah. - I can just pick up the violin.
Kind of - I really missed just doing everyday things.
- Yeah. - Now we're here...
To tell you guys that we're back to filming.
- Mmm. - Don't worry, I'm taking it easy, so...
I know, a lot of you are telling me take it easy...
Something I've definitely learned.
I've had a lot of time to reflect on a lot of things.
Mhm.
You know...
Just at the end of the day, it's just family and friends.
And like, I also love doing all this, so...
Makes a lot of sense.
But yeah, on a good note, I'm back.
Eddy's back.
So, 2021...
Is going to be a crazy year.
We're definitely going to look after our health.
Yup.
But, at the same time, we're also going to make epic content.
Oh, yeah.
Also, during this time, we hit 3 million subscribers.
Oh yeah, of course.
Thank you guys so much, it was the weirdest thing.
Being on leave when we hit 3 mil.
You know what...
I - I - I gotta say like...
I mean, this is gonna sound kind of bad, but...
Thanks to you getting sick,
I had more time to practice my Sibelius.
People are like, "Hey, don't stress about the Sibelius,
take your time." I'm like...
Yeah, I need that. I need it.
But, I'm practicing. I think the live stream will be...
Towards the end of January.
So, in a few weeks.
We will confirm the date very soon.
Uh-huh.
Yeah, just depends on the - the - the -
This one particular passage in the third movement.
And then my progress in the orchestral part.
- Mmm... - Yeah, but...
Definitely the third or fourth week of January,
keep your eye out, I'm really excited for it.
It's my -
One of my if not my favorite violin concerto out there.
It is so epic.
- Um... - For sure.
We'll be performing on our new violins as well.
- Oh yeah, I'm so excited to like... - Very excited.
- Share with you guys. - Yeah.
I love the violin.
I sound so different on this new violin.
Yeah, Eddy sounds so much better now.
So, we can't wait to share with you guys.
Mhm.
We'll probably share the information on Instagram
or in the comments in the next upcoming videos.
Or Twitter, everywhere we're on.
So, we'll see you guys there.
Again, thanks for being so patient.
It's been five years of content making.
Mhm.
Uh...
Can't imagine us doing anything else,
we love all of this and we love you guys too.
And yeah.
As always, keep practicing.
