its just me practicing. no context

english translation is : i work 9 thousand hours

" I worked nine thousand hours"   is a strange way to say how long you worked. 
Usually, people would say : " I worked four years" or " I worked fifty months" 

The correct form in colloquial Cantonese : 
我(I) 做咗(worked) 九千個鐘(nine thousand hours )

The correct form in SWC: 
我(I) 工作了(worked) 九千小時(nine thousand hours)
