Jeez... I was awaken by a ring this dawn around 4.40 am. huhuhu.... it was Jamal Jamaludin, Sinar.fm DJ. At first, he impersonated himself as a businessman from Canterbury who wanted to sell a herd of sheep to me. But it was really ridiculous since he spoke Malay to me. I, since the first moment, didn' t believe it, but I never thought that it was a call from Sinar.fm. What was on my mind at that time was that this might be a call from a company in Malaysia which I applied for an internship program. After a few minutes then, I just realized that the voice sounded like Jamal Jamaludin and I recalled that I had ever been registered in Perantau @ Sinar column on the radio station's website.
When I said, ' Ini.... aaaa...' I suddenly forgot his name. Hahaha... Then, he continued for me. What so embarrassing! He asked me what time was it in my place... And I just told him that it was midnight. He was astonished by that... 'Haa? Tengah malam? Kat Malaysia ni tengah malam. Takkan kat sana tengah malam jugak...' I explained to him that I wasn't sure the local time at that time coz I was asleep and looked outside my room's window, it was still dark like in the midnight. But it was actually already 4 sth in the dawn. But I added that the local time in NZ is 4 hours faster than in Malaysia.
After that, he gave me a chance to say sth for anyone in Malaysia. I sounded sth like this, 'Assalamualaikum w.b.t (sounded like I was babbling to myself) saya ucapkan kepada ibu bapa (mak, abah) di Merlimau, Melaka; nenek, atuk; adik-beradik; dan rakan-rakan di seluruh Malaysia. Saya rindukan anda semua.' Jamal said, 'Mesti Anis juga nak ucapkan kepada pak cik- pak cik yang jual kuih muih kat warung-warung tu.' 'Aha, saya memang rindukan kuih-muih mereka.' 'Memang saya sengaja sebut pasal kuih-muih tu sebab saya tahu anda mesti rindu...'
Jamal said some more, 'Sayangnya, Anis tak dengar radio kami di online sekarang. Kalau tak, boleh dengar suara.' I replied, 'Oh, yeah. Tak pe la... Ada rakaman kan kat website tu.' 'Ya, ada. Okay Anis, saya tak mahu kacau anda tidur. Maaf ye kacau tengah tidur.' 'Oh tak pe. Thank you.' 'You're welcome.' 'Assalamualaikum.'
What a nice experience! Before the moment, I had imagined what would I say if Sinar.fm DJ called me for Perantau @ Sinar. I tried to practice how to speak in the radio. And yeah, it came true. Hehehe... I learned sth from my past experiences and the call from Sinar.fm was one of 'em.
p/s: I cooked chicken soup for lunch and dinner today! Yummy, yummy!
