LATEST UPDATE:
Ok, in addition to my thank you list below, Farid reminded me that Shahreil will bound to call me up to complain why his name wasn't in the list. So before he does, here it is.

-Shahreil. Thank you for doing nothing (or pretending to do so much) and wanting your name (and picture) to be mentioned and make known onstage when I got the award. Thank you for texting me to congratulate me and making me laugh at my phone when I was there.

::::::::::


Ok so the big night is over.

Everyone knows I was reluctant to attend the awards show, but due to endless urges by friends (who wouldn't take no for an answer), I attended it.

And yes, deep down I was glad I did.

Yes, me and Sanif won the Best Director/Producer award, and the drama hailed the Best Special Drama Award. Yay! (And yes, Syidah, if you're reading this, thanks for terlonjak lonjak for me :P) I will email you my email add. Heh.

Yes, I didn't deliver a thank you note like I should have. But here is my list.

- Feizha. Thank you for the stories that inspired me to make the show. Without you, none of this would have happened.

- The UD Concepts family. For the opportunity and the trust in me to handle the project. You guys have remained the best bosses in the world.

- Keater HM. You thought me so much during the whole production. Not to mention getting me red-faced and teary-eyed with laughter.

- Ravin. Goodness, achi. Yes, you stayed with me every night for a week till 7 in the morning for this.

- Imran. For the encouragement and support you've given me while I was working on this.

- My crew: Senthil, Bryan, Shaun, Djasman, TK, Hida, Salwin. You guys worked way too hard.

- Farah and Farid. For waiting a whole 3 hours outside the awards ceremony for me, and all the endless sms-es we exchanged. I appreciate it alot that you guys were the first people I spent time and celebrated with after the show.

So there. My thank-yous are done.
