Jay's mini concert in Malaysia circa 2001

From my friend, havamahal on multistars comes this amazing set of vids where Jay performed at a mini concert in Malaysia waaay back when he was a newcomer.

He was sooo cute in those days, with his cap and casual clothes and lowkey attitude, but also a hint of wry humour.
You can also see the beginnings of his greatness in his interaction with the fans, shaking their hands and getting everyone to sing along.
And his awesome keyboard skills.....be still, my heart...le sigh....

I shall provide some nutshell translations, which I did for the forum last year:

In a vid before this one, the emcee ribbed him about being a man of few words and indeed, Jay could only muster up one greeting for the audience.
In the above vid, Jay says he felt anxious and couldn't say much. The emcee then asks him about his type of girl and Jay replies (deadpan).."well, someone with long hair like our emcee here" and she says there's an age gap(!). Finally concedes that the girl must be one his Mum approves of. ;)
After he sings, he talks to the audience, saying it was his first time in Malaysia and he wasn't sure of the response from the fans, but was very thankful for all of them.

In the above vid, he sings Clear Stars and throws stuff to the fans.

This is the basket ball vid and they wanted four people on stage, two males and two females.
One of the girls stood next to Jay, before being hustled by the MC away to where all the contestants were standing.
The game was for Jay to show some basketball moves for them to imitate and if successful, they could make one request of Jay each.
One of the girls requested a kiss!

After the game, the girl who did well asked Jay: is it your habit to sleep in the nude?? ^-^
Jay's answer: Not a habit but I have done it on occasion. :D
The guy asked Jay when he would be coming to Malaysia again
Jay's answer: when I release my next album.

At one point, he was also asked if he preferred Jolin or Steph Sun:
Jay's diplomatic reply: In terms of music, Steph. In terms of dance, Jolin.
He then sings Wife...in his tank top, showing off his lovely arms.

He sings Tornado, claiming it's the final song.

Of course, the fans wouldn't let him off so easily, and 'demanded' an encore with Lovable Woman, which Jay obliges with. :)
