And it's all over too soon... but it couldn't have been more perfect.

I may have been running around backstage and watching only snippets of the performance, but I can say without a doubt that 'Of Bunga Raya's and Coconuts' was a dream come true for this exhausted scriptwriter.

When the audience first broke out in laughter at Leslie's "Even my Perodua runs like a Ferrari" line, I was jumping up and down with joy backstage! (It's a scriptwriter's prerogative to be over-emotionally elated by such small things) And the night just got ever so much better from there!

From the bedazzling opening dance with UV lights and stunts that stunned the audience, to the show stealing aunties, to the comeback of the great chef Han and the impromptu lines that were added to my script by Chien Liq, to the hilarious Tai Chi scene, to the heart-rending flashbacks with the mini Ling and Ravi, to our new mascot - the papier mache chicken - that was thrown on stage, to the absolutely random dikir barat songs and YMCA addition, to the laugh-till-you-cry Bhangra fight scene, and the ever so fun Finale Dance.

By the time it came to curtain call, I had no words left to say. And you know that feeling when you've waited so long for something to happen and then it just rushes by so fast and slips through your fingers and you'll never get it back again. And then you think, but I don't want it to end. But it has, and another page has turned, another chapter's ended. It's back to being a full time student again. No more late nights and meetings and frenzied phone calls and money counting, although we should still have those good old creative team gossip sessions over mugs of hot coffee at Starbucks.

And I mean it when I say I'm incredibly honoured to have worked with a team who really played up to their best talents. Ayish, our producer, and her calm and controlled way of organising everyone and knowing exactly what she wanted to see on stage. Tao, our co-producer, and his own brand of humour who had everyone rolling off their seats with his signature Bhangra dance. Dzam, our director, and visionary who made the most effort to take care of our stars. Chien Liq, our creative consultant (and my partner-in-crime in creating this masterpiece), and his wacky ideas and for playing up brilliantly to my script. Nicole, our performance manager, and her absolutely stunning dances - the result of so much hard labour. Jia Hong, our props manager, and his very methodical and very organised way of handling everything. Cheng Chun, our co-props manager, and his calm, cool ways of responding to Jia Hong's methods and always keeping that smile on his face in times of stress. Chris, our darling tech manager, for handling all the technical things we couldn't deal with and trying so hard! And each and every one of the freshers who were such amazing and professional performers. Asking for rehearsals when we said they should take a break and not tire themselves out. Taking care of all the little details we couldn't handle. And remembering everything we said, about the cues and performing and smiling and... for first time performers, you all were just brilliant!

Alright, I'm zombified! I would ramble on further, but this is one exhausted script writer in need of ALOT of sleep.
