@1:08 , "Chuck Norris" haha, Anyways man, I was in quarantine in Japan in 2009 when I was 12 and although I wasn't in it for no where as long as you, I was only in there for about a week and a bit (then my mum got the Australian embassy to argue with the hospital to get me out, I had Swine Flu but it wasn't that bad at all) but still I know what you mean about when you get out, the world seems SO much better then it did before and you realize how much you take it for granted. Ps. I'm Aussie too!
I know what you mean about feeling like an empty shell under the effects of medication. I have finally been diagnosed with meniere disease. before i was diagnosed doctors just didnt know what to do with a teen with symptoms that didnt make since, so instead of really trying to help me, they either said i was faking to get out of school or they put me on meds that would counter act each other making me worse. id become a completely different person sometimes. this vid made me smile tho. thanks :)
Really really beautiful!!! Your words describe what people really feel when faced with illness and overcome it...thank you for sharing your talent with the world!
Hey Guys!! Check out my channel. Click on my username and it will take you right to my video of me in a movie that's playing in theatres in the US. It's called Life In A Day. If you like please subscribe to my channel so it can grow. Thanks
wow what a great video, from the background to the feeling you place in your words :), sorry that your video didnt make the movie :(, it really should have.
i feel i have so many things to complain about, till i remember you, and what youve gone through. your videos really touch and inspire me. thank you, im really happy your out of quarantine.
Love that you produced a video like this to compliment your awesome, hilarious other videos. I'm going to spotlight you on my blog and help you raise some money for Aussie street kids. I'm American, but spent two years in Sydney. Two of the greatest years of my life. Good on ya mate.
i must say you are quite the champion dancer, I am glad you are out of quarantine and I hope, if you can, you live life to the fullest! We all only have one life to live, take advantage of each day, you are one of my inspirations to do so. So thank you for that :) xxx
I found your first video when I was first diagnosed with a rare disease that has ate away my jaw bone. I am now finally 5 days away from my surgery that has a one year recovery period. I love your perspective and hope to come out of my life changing experience with the same outlook. I feel like you put into words what I have and hope to achieve. Thank you for the many laughs and now this wonderful inspiring video.
I have no idea how many times I've watched this, at least 20. I listen to it any time I need a pick me up! I share it all the time! Glad you're health is better. Lots of love from Dallas
@ChristiaanVanVuuren Thank you Thank you Thank you. For the laughter, and for the real inspiration. You are an incredible person, and very wise. I have so much respect for you, I learn so much from you, and love to laugh at your awesome sense of humor :-)
I agree with Obliaxe. Keep making videos!! I have watched this video and several others almost everyday. Very entertaining and inspiring. Keep up the good work!!!
you are a brave and honest man and a inspiration to us all. Few people have the courage that you have. Too openly admit that you are scared yet you persever and press on. Keep it up!
You need to keep creating videos. I'm totally inspired by you and your craft.
That's alot of medication. I remember back in the day when I was at one point 20 pills. Was it realistic? No. But did I need them? unfortunately yes. It wasn't until 2005, I finally was able to break free and drop from 20 to 2 pills a day. Once they found out how to control me. (Epilepsy) One is medication, the other? A vitamin)
One of my goals in life? To see Australia for the first time :)
YOU ARE MY NUMBER ONE FAVORITE YOUTUBER. I WILL SHARE YOU WITH EVERYBODY AND PLEASE DONT STOP MKAING MUSIC VIDEOS AND YOUR VIDEO MAKING SKILLS ARE AMAZING. YOU ROCK! <3
I love this video. I'm glad you're out of the hospital, and glad your perspective. "We are fools whether we dance or not. So we might as well dance." - Japanese Proverb
I never thought anything real was ever put on YouTube. I always felt like being on here was just a mindless waste of time. You've changed that. I wish you the best in life and love and hope to see more of you in the near future.
This video makes me want to give someone a hug. It seems like, with all the negativity you have had to deal with...you are able to rise above it and still find some way to be positive. It's inspiring. I want to be more like you.

I'm very pleased to see you are free to roam the world once again. I spent many months at a time in a plastic tent in hospitals as a child. to an accumulated 2 and half years for severe and chronic lung infections. I can only remember a little of this time since i was very young. What you went through looked very difficult.
very cool. i appreciate your video a lot, especially in conjunction with the one you made to promote the Life In A Day project. greetings from namibia and keep it up
Thanks for your video! I suggest you share it at lifeinaday.tv , its' easy, just submit a google-doc based form, available via share.lifeinaday.tv , i and 30+ other youtubers already did it, check it out

Wow you just discribed life in 4 minutes and 18 secons with all the good things and the bad things. You are so awesome! I hope your video gets nominated ^_^
I had some experiences that changed my life and my point of view too.
The life is just AWESOME! and I'm glad you enjoy it :)
Good luck BRO hope you don't give up making videos ;)
This is one of the most deepest short movies I have ever seen, I enjoy it that is isn't scripted it is just your daily life and it shows all those little moments that your encounter. But now it seems that two different lives have collided together, A regular "average" Aussie guy and a world wide sensation.
Well done Christaan, It's video's like these that get people thinking about their own lives, so thank you for showing us your daily life and life in isolation
This is great I just watched it three times. It's really thought-provoking and reflective and also funny at times! You've had such a tough experience, but a really unique one. Isn't it weird how the really bad stuff makes the rest of life completely awesome? Love all the dancing. I could dance/watch people dance all day. Sounds like you're doing really well after your illness, good on you mate. Keep up the writing and filmmaking!
@TheBlueRoomDream Firstly, thanks for the note... Yeah, it's one of those things where perspective makes you really how good you've really got it. The grass looks greener, the sky looks bluer etc... It's been a unique experience to go through.
@luukas888 Yeah, I have been working on a web series with my brother for a couple of months, which we are going to start putting online soon... There will be lots of new songs, and vids and stuff... Looking forward to getting it online soon!
Plz don't stop making music or videos! you're so talented man I really enjoy everything you did and I'm glad you're out! just don't forget about what you got from the experience, and keep adding random raps to youtube :P.
@Obliaxe Hi :) Thanks for your comment... HEAPS of random raps and music vids coming, I just wanted to get a bit serious for the Life in a Day project, given the nature of the topics that they were covering... Stay tuned for a web series coming soon!!!
@FizzyMcPhysics Don't worry... this more reflective side of me is just coming out for life in a day, but there is plenty more rap vids coming... I have been working on a web series with my brother, that is going to have HEAPS of songs and stuff.
Powerful video, Christiaan. It's amazing how you showed your evolution from comic trickster to, well, something deeper than that (cosmic comic?) through the videos you made both in and after your hospital confinement. I think you have a unique voice about and perspective on life, living, and nearly dieing. "Heaps sick," but in a truly good way.
@sealthdon Thanks... Most of what I am working on is more comedy stuff, but I thought that for the Life in a Day thing, it would be nice to share the serious side of what I've been through, and some of the ways that it has impacted my life...
Hey Christian, been keeping up with your videos for months since ive been studying in london and im glad you are feeling better. Was very moved by your words in this compelling video. E.
Hey Christian, been keeping up with your videos for months since ive been studying in london and im glad you are feeling better. Was very moved by your words in this compelling video. E.
I'm so very happy you are out of hospital and are able to enjoy your life!! I wish you all the best and I have always enjoyed watching your videos...so I hope now that you're out, you will still create videos for all of your fans!!! <3 you!
@Allurah430 Yeah I have been working on a web series for quite a while with my brother, and we are hoping to start getting that online here on Youtube soon... Lots of new videos and songs.
@ChristiaanVanVuuren so does that mean we will see much much more of you? i hope thats a big yes, i also have to ask, what do you think the biggest change was that you saw after you got out of hospital? :) your the best
Glad to hear you are finally on the outside again and living life outside the box. Also wanna add that you are damn good looking even in a hospital gown and sick and that is quite a feat. Of course the hot accent might help but i think it's the combo of wicked lyrics, crazy editing and your outstanding personality that win everyone over. I hope there were many people for you to go home to when you recovered that get to enjoy having you again in their lives. Good luck in your future! -Natalie
Glad to see you're out of quarantine. First saw you on Today's Big Thing and have been following you since. I really admire your perspective on life and your way with words. I hope you have the best of luck in the future with whatever you do.
Wow!!! This was very deep!! Thanks for the look into your life. I'm glad that you've been released from the hospital and that now you are doing better. Hope things continue to go well for you.
Excellent video--great thoughts! I have also feared necessary medication (for the same reason; it blunts things). I've also feared love for the same reasons in the past. Thanks for sharing yourself--hope the rest of 2010 is WAAY better than the first part of it!
I like your videos. We all have our own prisons; poverty, sickness, abuse, addictions, incarceration... Some of us go from one to another. Though our words, thoughts and actions these can be prisons or inspiration. The way you travel in life will be what you take to the spirit world, all the possessions are left behind. I will remember your words when I get stuck again. BTW You really did a lot for a single day; it’s hard to believe you were so sick. Thanks for sharing.
You are a beautiful example of rising above the negativity.... I'm not saying you weren't wading knee deep in it at times.... but you found those overhanging vines, grabbed them and now you're swinging on the beauty of life, while searching for it's true meaning.... You set a remarkable example of how to cope when the going get's tough... kudos to you bud ♥
@misscupcake Thanks heaps for this comment, it's really nice, what a top thing to say. Sorry for nothing new lately, I've just been busy with this channel, making videos of doing 30 new things for September!!! 30DayshadSeptember
you seem to be doing great, i am glad your out and not letting anything put you down as you seem so happy. i believe i speak for all of your fans when i say that.
I'd like to thank you for this amazing video, man. And, for as cheesy as it sounds, you can't help but gain a little bit more appreciation for life when watching this. Keep up the awesome work with these awesome videos.
Christiaan you look SOOOO hot in this video! love your thoughts on life etc. i cant imagine love could slip away from YOU!! also it's awsome to hear you talk love your voice & your accent!
this is phenomenal im so glad you've got through it all it's amazing and though you'll never get that time back you can take so much from what you experienced you're a top bloke and my respect for you is bottomless. Peace x
"I havn't stared death in the eyes but i've seen his reflection. And i've feared him to the point of tears and then come to terms with him. Then been angered by how close he stood and at times even wanted to reach out and touch him" ....Love it!, it's almost poetic
So cool that you are participating in the Life in a Day competition .. I actually thought about you when watching the life in a day trailer .... Just awesome ;D
Just wanted to say that this video is truely inspirational, your philosophy on life makes you a very wise person in my eyes.
And in general I love all your videos, from the first time I saw a clip of you in quarantine doing ''Fully sick rapper'' I could see that you are a strong individual. Despite being screwed over by life, you took it with a smile in your face and a sense of humor rather than sitting there and feeling sorry for yourself.
Awesome, just truly awesome. It really is all about perspectives, and I think we're all glad that you didn't get bitter or resentful at life for throwing you a curveball. Keep up the positive attitude, and good things are sure to come your way.
P.S. I was singing "Quarantine Guy" at work the other day and everyone was looking at me very strangely. =D

Powerful video, Christiaan. It's amazing how you showed your evolution from comic trickster to, well, something deeper than that (cosmic comic?) through the videos you made both in and after your hospital confinement. I think you have a unique voice about and perspective on life, living, and nearly dieing. "Heaps sick," but in a truly good way.

@sealthdon Thanks... Most of what I am working on is more comedy stuff, but I thought that for the Life in a Day thing, it would be nice to share the serious side of what I've been through, and some of the ways that it has impacted my life...

Glad to hear you are finally on the outside again and living life outside the box. Also wanna add that you are damn good looking even in a hospital gown and sick and that is quite a feat. Of course the hot accent might help but i think it's the combo of wicked lyrics, crazy editing and your outstanding personality that win everyone over. I hope there were many people for you to go home to when you recovered that get to enjoy having you again in their lives. Good luck in your future! -Natalie

I like your videos. We all have our own prisons; poverty, sickness, abuse, addictions, incarceration... Some of us go from one to another. Though our words, thoughts and actions these can be prisons or inspiration. The way you travel in life will be what you take to the spirit world, all the possessions are left behind. I will remember your words when I get stuck again. BTW You really did a lot for a single day; it’s hard to believe you were so sick. Thanks for sharing.

You are a beautiful example of rising above the negativity.... I'm not saying you weren't wading knee deep in it at times.... but you found those overhanging vines, grabbed them and now you're swinging on the beauty of life, while searching for it's true meaning.... You set a remarkable example of how to cope when the going get's tough... kudos to you bud ♥

Hey Christiaan,
Just wanted to say that this video is truely inspirational, your philosophy on life makes you a very wise person in my eyes.
And in general I love all your videos, from the first time I saw a clip of you in quarantine doing ''Fully sick rapper'' I could see that you are a strong individual. Despite being screwed over by life, you took it with a smile in your face and a sense of humor rather than sitting there and feeling sorry for yourself.
Thank you mate
Cheers from Bulgaria

Awesome, just truly awesome. It really is all about perspectives, and I think we're all glad that you didn't get bitter or resentful at life for throwing you a curveball. Keep up the positive attitude, and good things are sure to come your way.
P.S. I was singing "Quarantine Guy" at work the other day and everyone was looking at me very strangely. =D
