24-7 Assist goes live daily on Kristal to give Brunei their traffic reports during the lunch time rush hour. They also have an advert running starring a breath of fresh air from the market, Auntie May, who calls 24-7 for some roadside assistance, gets help in a jiffy and flirts with Mr. 24-7 dude. Some clever marketing ensued and we got DJ Jenny with Auntie May in an interview with 24-7 last Thursday. I was lucky to catch it for ol' Auntie May was in good form. For those who haven't heard of Auntie May, she's the chinese auntie character who is unashamedly loud mouthed in her Chinglish accent and very funny. Auntie May is, short of a better word, fabulous. Laughing at her funny banter reminds me of a time when we all found Wang Jambol funny in the 80s. Where is Wang Jambol anyway? Kristal should do an advert with the two together.
I've gained a new found respect for Kristal FM for their cheerful advertisements and current programming style. I dig their we-don't-take-ourselves-too-seriously vibe.
