Okay this is big news, because you'll be able to hear how sucky my Malay is. And I mean sucky. No I'm not proud of it, I am in fact furious with myself for speaking poor Malay.
I got featured on the radio with 2 of my friends. It's a talk regarding the current state of Broadband technology and the various offers available to consumers in the market like Starhub's Maxonline or Singnet's Mio and how different people make their choices in selecting such services.
The online source can be found here. The clip is composed of two topic. The one we're featured in starts at the point 0:03:40. If you really want to criticize my bad Malay, by all means look forward to 0:08:35. That's where I started babbling my nonsense. It was very very short lah, I guess I had nothing much to say with my poor language.
I don't know if the audio streaming works, because when I tried it out, it didn't. Anyways, here's how you can listen to it on the radio:
Warna @ 7.53am & 9.40pm on Monday, 14th Jan 2008.
Ria 89.7FM @ 2.30pm on Tuesday and Thursday (15th and 17th Jan 2008 respectively)
If you miss it, don't worry. I'll post the audio clip here once it has been aired the first time. It's also airing on Radio Singapore International (RSI) which means neighbouring countries like Malaysia, Indonesia and Thailand will get to hear my bad Malay.
What a way to gain exposure. Bleahs.
