[...and the gist of what I had wanted to say - in Malay - before the nerves and spotlight got better of me, and I started to speak in English]

Thank you very much.

I still remember 13 years ago when I first started work on this line. I was young, don't know anyone, was working hard and broke most of the time (...and still is sometimes). My office was at Tampines and often I miss the last train at Tampines mrt to go home. And I live in Jurong West.

The work was tough (and still is). Many times I felt like giving up. But I had the good company of likeminded peers and dedicated artiste friends who inspired me to work harder.

This (award) is for you guys. Thank you.
