Hi, there. It's been a while, and I hope that you're well. I don't actually know what to say now, and if there's one thing I've learnt, it's to watch what I say, lest it be taken out of context, or quite simply the WRONG way.

I guess, first and foremost, as it is Raya, I ask for your forgiveness. More importantly, know that I appreciate your tolerance and support, because, at the end of the day, after all is said and done, I'm only HUMAN, with flaws and shortcomings, brought about by, or really despite, my best intentions.

I don't want to get into the details at this point, but here are a couple of other things that I do know and would like to share with you:

* After finally reading the script in its entirety and objectively observing all of us in action, I'm more convinced than ever that we have a sure HIT in our hands.

* Everything - yes, even the bad experiences - happens for a REASON. As such, nothing should be taken for granted, or questioned too much. Accept that some things are just not meant to be, or perhaps more accurately, are just as they should be! Let's cast personal feelings aside and do this, together.

Think of ALL that we've been through...Cherish those moments, while always keeping at the back of your mind that the best - and worst - are yet to come. The most important thing is to plainly be prepared.

Yesterday, we met one another for the first time and laughed. Today, we see each other more clearly and smirk. But tomorrow, we'll look back again rather fondly and really smile. Lastly, though I know that we're not even halfway through, I would just like to say THANK YOU, 'Asli! The Cast', for the memories.
