28 to 9

I usually listen to 89.9 morning news whenever I have to wake up early to go to uni. Few days ago, I heard

"28 to 9, light fm"..

and I told myself..okay...it must be the time..so..28 to 9 means...err...what time? 9.00- 28 minutes= ..... errr..what's that..ummm can't do .....

okay so how about half past 8 means 8.30 so if there is 28 more minutes to 9 means 30 minutes-28 minutes = 2 minutes + 30 minutes back again...

OH...I GET IT!!! IT'S 8.32 now!!! and by the time I figured it out..it's already 8.35

Seriously, why 28 to 9, why can't they just say "it's 8.32, light fm.."

what...8.32 is 28 to 9? I think it is...

I mean..eventhough your listeners are christians doesn't mean that they're all smart...

I'm one example...

I think that's just the aussie way of saying the time, I dunno. Maybe that's how EVERYONE tells the time, but I don't. We don't do that in Malaysia...

It's either I'm weird, or you're weird. or we're both weird...
