The proud and slightly dazed  Robert Raymer standing between nominated writers Yvonne Lee (Vanity Drive and The Sky is Crazy) and Adeline Loh (Peeing in the Bush).

On stage with Kee Thuan Chye and the representatives of other winning authors, many of whom were outstation. Luckily I decided to fly in from Kuching for the day.
