Car tunes to Morning Express

after a few days of mugging and having the radio on for the whole day....

I conclude that I prefer listening to Car Tunes over Morning Express ANY DAY!

Car Tunes program is witty, funny, full of surprises, light-hearted, DJs are light-hearted people who make sensible remarks. I enjoy the humor on it, allows me to relax at the end of the day and look forward to listening to what they have to say the next day. Or who are they going to call for good service or how they are going to pull their stuns on the service people hee....

Last evening, Rod pulled off as young man who called a aircon sales guy with a few funny questions posted for him.

eg. Eh, how much would it cost to put air con in all the rooms of my uncle's house eh?
eg. Eh, how big will the trunking be eh?
eg. Eh, how much would it be eh?

in between each of these questions, Rod was "interrupted" by "his uncle" to post the next question.... So all in all, Rod must have answered his phone about 6-8times during the short conversation with the salesman. ha ha ha ha.... The salesman mantained a cool composure and held his own conversation in the background while Rod was "on the phone with his uncle" and kept repeating himself "I can only tell you the answers when I come to your house".

I thought that the salesman handled the situation very quite well. When I bought my aircons, I had to pay deposite at the shop and they didn't even offer to come to my house to view it and give me a quotation!

The salesman finally hang up on Rod while he was "on his phone with uncle" for like the 8th time with his same last words... hee...

One listener even called Rod to express is support for the salesman! And of course this listener got the "Rod on phone with uncle" treatment as well. ha ha ha... it was really funny.

In contrast, I dread to listen to the Morning Express duo who used to be really good. In the recent years, the quality of their program has deteriorated to mainly sarcasm and petty remarks. Its very disappointing how Glenn Ong expresses his own opinion on national air as if he IS singapore. Perhaps many out there loved his crude remarks and rude nature but I certainly feel that its a poor reflection of how good quality radio program can be. What happen to their wit? if they have any at all...

Morning shows are disgustingly unpleasent way to start the day with these days. I certainly do hope that they can improve on their content and delivery to make the start of any day a happy one.... not a bitter one filled with petty remarks and finger-pointing talks. We have enough of all that in our daily lives, work environment etc, we do not need to hear it over the air.

So Thumbs UP for Car Tunes!
