My national TV debut

1 min read50 comments

All 0.3 seconds of it!

Channel U recently aired a TV special covering the new cosplay maid cafe that just opened in Singapore last month. I was there on New Year’s Eve when they took some of the footages and was caught by the camera pan in this frame!

Channel U

You can watch the video yourself after the jump, which includes an interview (in Chinese) with LianYL. LOL! LOL! LOL! Video is in Mandarin Chinese (or as close as it gets in Singapore).

Watch on YouTubeThis video seems to have been removed from YouTube.

The video was ripped by daffodilistic from #SGAnimeBloggers @ irc.rizon.net. Please don’t sue me, kthx. BTW, check out my spanking new YouTube Director’s account!

    Haha… Good to see you on tv for at least awhile, Oh well… I dropped Chinese thanks to my learning “Disability” which I sometimes question, Why do I always use it as a reason to fail my exams, Or somehow get my friends to force me to study…

    Oh and I forgot you can delete this post, I thought that the maid cafe was somewhere else not around city hall (Pass by there every day if I go home by Bus or Bus-MRT-Bus)

    I shall translate for the boredom of myself(Synopsis only):

    So the guy host intro the female host to this meido cafe, when she has no idea WTH that is. She thought that the guy will be the one attending to him. But NoNo…Then only then she was intro to the Meido cafe.

    Then the people briefly explained the meaning of Cosplay and the costumes that the Meidos wear, which is Victorian Black and White Lace costumes..bla bla bla..and the people who come here will be addressed as “Goshujin-sama!!” (*I WANT!!)

    Then they came and get greeted by the Kawaii~ meidos..XD

    Speaking to the 16-year-old boss by the name of Ferlyn, they get to know how she got the idea of a Meido cafe in Singapore.Out of 200,she picked 17. And the criterias for picking the meidos are:
    1) Need to do Make-ups
    2) Have individual talents
    3) Love this sort of servicing jobs cos they need to know how to role-play as meidos.

    All that follows are interviews from people and the meidos..And the theme of using cosplays to attract customers are something fresh in singapore.( and the rating the programme give for freshness of ideas is only 2.. :P) And feel free to attend the cafe’s Theme Night..The main selling point of it all: The costumes!! XD

    and when someone said: 这里的妹妹很可爱 (aka: the chicks here are cute) i was LORL

    DM: ur time is really short man…Youtube dun allow me to frame by frame view ur face, damn..

    What languages do Singapore people speak? Also, I’ve never heard of 妹妹(little sister) being used as a general term for girls. Is that some kind of Singapore colloquial thing or is my Mandarin stagnating?

    You know, this video is also a prime example of how annoying Chinese TV personalities are (I know their not Chinese but Chinese TV personalities have the exact same annoying demeanor and voices).

    In Mandarin, you “can” call all girls younger than you 妹妹. Even if you are no related…

    You’re right, my Mandarin is stagnating.

    after that recording of Paper at school, seems like it’s useless to cover himself with that logo now

    it means you have overcome the shame of exhibiting yourself! congrats! another step towards net celebrity has been achieved ;o

    Calling girls younger than you 妹妹 is like having unrelated younger girls call you お兄ちゃん。

    Whatever you do, just don’t call them 小姐。

    小姐 is what I use for girls that I don’t know (eg waitresses). I haven’t gotten slapped just yet. But if I was talking about girls in general like Nic, I would have used 女孩儿.

    I guess this calling Girls as “Mei Mei” is all influence from Taiwan people who always address chicks as “Mei Mei”.
