The media liaison who interviewed me said I spoke good Malay. Haha! To my (pleasant) surprise. And she spoilt it all by saying: Oh, must be your Dad right. I mean, while I perfectly understand that my dad used to be her colleague in this whole radio broadcasting thing, I wished she would give me some credit for my effort in whipping some good malay. Like MINE. Not Abah's. Haha. But yes, bapa borek anak rintik kan. (Heh I don't even quite remember the exact meaning honestly.) But yes, I hope I have not disappoint you, Abah. I hope you like what you'll hear on national radio tomorrow morning(:
The things you hear on the radio can really make you laugh sometimes. Or at least, tickle you. Recently:
- (something along these lines...) "This is a Mobilisation Exercise Announcement. The following (insert noun), please report to your respective (insert another noun, i'm bad at this whole Army thing)." <end of announcement> <insert radio advertisement intro> "Gold 90.5FM. You only hear the good stuff."
Mobilisation = Good stuff. Right. I wonder how much my fellow countrymen, or rather, Reservists, would agree. - (something along these lines...) <during the hourly news> "... Steve Irwin, seorang pencinta wanita, maaf, pencinta haiwan..."
Like HEY, national radio man. How is "WANITA" and "HAIWAN" in any way SIMILAR. But yeah, the DJ did air Pencinta Wanita by Irwansyah right after. It was so funny.
But well yes, that's Mediacorp Radio for you. High on entertainment. Like, seriously!
