  • Hello and welcome to this week's vlog.

  • Anyone who is new here, I'm Jessica. This is my wife Claudia

  • Hellooo

  • Hi! We're British Obviously

  • And we are currently doing a seven week tour of Malaysia

  • Okay, I can't lie to you

  • It is actually Thursday

  • But we spent the first two days of this week editing the Thailand videos

  • both of which you can watch by clicking the card above or going to the link in the description

  • And then yesterday, I was just generally feeling poo

  • because I have my period and of course that means the migraines

  • But the funny thing about my period migraines and actually just my chronic pain in general

  • It would be hurting anyway whether I'm in the apartment doing absolutely nothing

  • or I'm out and about having fun. So I decided - let's do that. We're gonna go shopping

  • First thing we're going to do is go and get our hair done. Someone needs a trim

  • Yeah, I'm getting mine trimmed.

  • It's quite long

  • I do like my hair like this. I like my natural ringlets and so on

  • That kind of like unbrushed look, cause I just don't brush it

  • Nine times out of ten, when I go to the hairdresser's and I come out, I would preferred it when I went in

  • because I just like to style it my way, and when I say style it I mean like I just let it dry

  • or I tie it in a bun, and let it dry on my head, and then when I let it go it goes wavy

  • Anyway

  • we'll see

  • I'm growing my hair. Obviously. So I'm just gonna get my roots done

  • And we don't want them to trim it, but I have a fear that they're going to tell me the ends are dead

  • I bought myself a magazine

  • How to improve your photography

  • Anyway, I thought I'd get this and read it in the hairdressers because

  • they always only provide really girly magazines with loads and loads adverts of handbags and shoes and clothes

  • and like what makeup is best if you have this type of face and I'm like

  • That was the fastest and best haircut I've had for a long time

  • Just got our hair done, let's take moment to appreciate Claudia in all her gloriousness

  • I know, it's actually, ironically I came out thinking

  • Ah, this is probably one out of the ten times, it's okay

  • Unfortunately - you can't tell from this angle - but everywhere you can't see still has roots

  • Yes, it was entirely pointless.

  • Claudia: I do a better job apparently

  • Cause I'm the one who does it normally at home

  • I did say, we were gonna do it last night, but we were tired, but I was just gonna do it for you

  • Which is what we're gonna do anyway.

  • Well now we have to get more dye

  • Plus point though is this does give me a good moment to plug the fact that

  • Clara and I in the future are going to make a video all about maintaining your hair

  • when it's dyed, because people ask me that a lot

  • Oh, and we asked everyone that in the community tab, which you should definitely go and check out

  • Look at the community tab - I will post stuff there

  • Claudia: Do you know what that one's called? Jessica: What?

  • Claudia: It's the parrotfish, since it's got like a beak Jessica Yeah, and it's colourful

  • Glutinous rice flour, water, potato search, tapioca starch canola oil

  • Permitted colouring! No bad colouring, just the allowed ones.

  • Jessie's feeling a bit sad

  • I feel sad, because

  • Cause I'm full of hormones, that make a girl feel sad

  • Basically it's her time of month

  • She can't handle it

  • Does anyone know which are the best hormone control pills to take that won't make her feel hormonal

  • Claudia: and she can stop feeling like this Jessica: I want to go on a pill that you don't get a period

  • cause I don't need that in my life

  • I just want my migraines to go away.

  • She's in like actual agony?

  • Hurts so much

  • and so I just want to like get lots of.. I want to get lots and lots of clothes

  • Really cheaply And then feel really good about myself

  • That's what I need

  • Claudia: This is confusing you Jessica: Oh my god, this is really bending my mind

  • We think we found some clothes that I like

  • Maybe

  • Claudia: It's not your normal style

  • I'm not sure where the skirt goes

  • If I pull the waistband down to my waist

  • I think I'm gonna get demonetised, guys!

  • It's not good It's not gonna end well, is it?

  • Yo

  • Hello

  • We are going to a night market - another one

  • Another one, yeah. A Malaysian one, pasar malam

  • Which will hopefully have some very exciting things, including a new Joby stick for this camera

  • Cause this one is looking a little bit tired and, it's like they're all popping out

  • Jessica: One the legs, everytime I move it, just comes off

  • Yeah!

  • Anyway - no, what we're gonna do is get some cheap mock up

  • Mock up? Like spoof

  • I'm too.. I've had a migraine for three days

  • Claudia: Whatever Jessica: Don't ask me!

  • We're gonna get some fake Joby sticks

  • What other things are we gonna buy? Maybe some knickers?

  • Jessica: What? Claudia: Essentials - some knickers

  • I actually got an amazing bra from the first night market we went to in Thailand

  • It was only two pounds, and it was the best bra I've ever bought

  • Your knickers are made for child

  • I've just got a small more bum, okay

  • Well

  • Yeah

  • Okay, apparently I should cover more of my bum

  • Oh no, I love your bum

  • But I just think, you know, the bright primary coloured underwear in like the little girly pantie shape

  • I just don't like spending money on things that don't need to be like, that's why I'm buying my new knickers from a market

  • As the person who sees your underwear, I'm just saying

  • I've got my other camera ready

  • I just want to get some nice photos that encapsulate Malaysia

  • And then get them framed and put them around our house in England and also maybe around the flat here

  • Can my friend come?

  • Can I come, please?

  • I found more bows

  • Claudia: Head bows

  • Jessica: Loook. More bows

  • This is [Cantonese word], or sugar cane drink

  • My aunt was like, oh they sell sugar cane drink, your favourite

  • Because when I was liittle, I made a song about all of my favourite food in Malaysia

  • it went a bit like this

  • "Claudia singing"

  • And I can remember the rest, but..

  • that's how I told myself some simple Cantonese

  • Today I feel really poo

  • I'm just really exhausted and..

  • Ugh!

  • Cause I've been awake now for like five hours, and I'm not awake

  • Good morning!

  • So yesterday's market was absolutely amazing - wait, should I turn this fan off? I should turn the fan off.

  • So yesterday's market is really really good. It was the market that I wanted to see in Thailand

  • It wasn't just touristy

  • tatty stuff which

  • the town markets were

  • But we got amazing fruit

  • So cheap!

  • And it's now absolutely filling our fridge. Our fridge is full of weird fruit

  • And I managed to get some nice bows for my hair

  • I had a really lovely dinner

  • And it was just a really nice experience. It was really good

  • However, shopping at the department stores yesterday - not so great

  • As you can see I am wearing the same dress as yesterday

  • Not only because this dress isn't actually dirty, so why not?

  • But also just because I don't have enough clothes

  • I know, I know that's the type of thing of course I would say that

  • but I genuinely didn't actually bring that many clothes with me

  • Swimming costumes on the other hand..

  • People keep asking me on Instagram, how many swimming costumes do you have with you exactly?

  • Ten!

  • Yeah

  • Yes!

  • Clothes are really cheap here, and they're really good quality as well and

  • Underwear especially is much better buying it out here

  • because it does not need to be as expensive as in England

  • So

  • Yeah, and then kind of apparently we just forgot

  • that although Claudia looks absolutely amazing in everything she has tried on here

  • and has the perfect body for it

  • I do not

  • Everything here is quite, it's sort of cut for more of an Asian body type

  • and the fashions for tops and so on seem very straight down and

  • Now, it's just not.. that's just not me

  • So today, we're going to Sunway which is about, apparently

  • a 15-minute drive way, getting an Uber

  • and is a much bigger mall, has a larger range of stuff

  • And I am super excited, because we went there when we here two years ago

  • and they have this whole area, that is just

  • Weird street fashion - is the best way to describe that

  • And I got some really good vintagey skirts there

  • Very big skirts - very big

  • And they have sort of Harajuku stuff

  • They have some relief(?) stuff they have different

  • Different looks and fashion, styles. And I'm really excited. I want to get some weird handbags

  • So that's really fun, and we are dressed ready for the air con

  • Because this is a very important thing when you're shopping in Malaysia. You need to know

  • Bring clothes for the cold

  • Weird, but true. It's freezing. Every shop you go, it's freezing

  • It's genuinely freezing in here. It is, it is

  • But, just stopping to get my Coke Light - slowest service ever

  • and then I turned around and I saw an amazing shop!

  • Just a pharaoh statue twice the size of a regular human

  • Clearly, 50% of you guys are American, my analytics tell me

  • So is this really boring for you? Are you like "oh, seen that before"?

  • Cause all of my British people, I know, are like "Ahh"!

  • Let's go into Asian Avenue!

  • "Jessica singing"

  • Oh yeah, first we're gonna try to find an external hard drive - so exciting!

  • A bit lost right now, but the great thing is it's a circle

  • No, it's not a circle. It's a square, and the square means we eventually get back to where we want to be

  • Hello

  • Claudia is now holding the camera for me, even though it looks like I am

  • I'm not

  • I'm in so much pain!

  • Claudia: That's what shopping does to you

  • We bought stuff, guys

  • Warning, I'm gonna show you Brian - be prepared. Or skip ahead

  • Claudia: It's not looking that bad, just a bit mangi. Manji? Mangi?

  • Jessica: Sorry, are you trying to say mangy? Or mangi? Claudia: Both

  • Ah, pills!

  • Pills

  • Liquid and pills

  • Claudia: Have some non-alcoholic drink again

  • It's like shooting drilling stop stabbing pain

  • From my toesies all the way to my hips.

  • I don't have a cutesy words the hips

  • Claudia: Yeah, hipsies

  • From my toesies to my hipsies

  • No that doesn't quite work

  • Cut to us trying on our clothes

  • Both: Marvel t-shirts!

  • Jessica: These are both one of only 300 made

  • Claudia: They glow in the dark, how amazing it. Jessica: Oh, that's so good

  • Claudia : Don't you agree, Fred?

  • So Claudia has asked me to open her crisp packet

  • because this is what she did

  • when she last opened it

  • This is her idea of resealing

  • You can't just duct tape things together!

  • You know for someone with two degrees, this is either

  • ingenious

  • or idiotic!

  • Right

  • Well, they are still fresh. I will give you that, they are still fresh

  • We are at the house of Claudia's aunt and uncle

  • That was a really non English way to say that, wasn't it?

  • "That's the house of"

  • We're having a nice dinner together, because it's the last day of Chinese New Year

  • So celebration dinner. I'm really looking forward to it

  • Jessica: Why is the rice blue?

  • Put some flowers, special flowers, coloured flowers, so you get them blue

  • Jessica : You're abusing a small child

  • "Laughter"

  • Jessica: No, no, no - what's this?

  • Claudia: Look at my hair

  • Jessica: What's happened to your head, Claudia?

  • Jessica: Claudia as a bridesmaid looking so pleased with herself

  • Jessica: Claudia giving some good face right there. That's beautiful

  • Claudia: I got no teeth

  • Jessica: Got no teeth Claudia: No, no front teeth

  • "Laughter"

  • Jessica: Lovely! And this is this is Claudia's smile

  • Jessica: That's right
