  I'll translate what he said:
  
  "I'm 25 years old (lunar year), not so old" (Littlestream and I were teasing him about being old cos Lau in Chinese happens to be old )
  
  "Don't talk already, I'm going to go sleep"
  
  "Cannot bear it"
  
  "Vulgarity"

  In Mandarin, it's 'yi da li mian', I dunno what is 'Italy' in hokkien.
  
  Roughly, it is 'yi da li mee'.
