After a two-month-long voting period and unbridled media blitz, the winner of the Martell Rising Personalities Awards 2009 was announced at a glitzy sit-down dinner in Lara, Bangsar (a swank new dining space) last Friday.

Who won the trip Cognac, ten bottles of VSOP, and RM20,000 cash prize? Well, since it was partly a popularity contest - the public was solicited for their choice on the Rising Personalities website - it didn't surprise us that that television personality Will Quah emerged victorious.

Will is certainly well-credentialed, and very visible: 6 years on television, Channel V VJ, some stints in radio, co-host of ntv7's groundbreaking The Breakfast Show.

Then again, so were the rest of the ten finalists: singer and actress Chelsia Ng; comedian and actor Douglas Lim; designers Teresa Thian (apparel), Tan Sze Yoong (jewellery), and Chow Hon Lam (T-shirts); visual artist Chin Yew; latin dancer Cecilia Yong; DJs Nick Chia (DJ Guruguru) and Nychole Leong (DJ Nikki).

Anyway, congratulations, Will! Yammmm Seng!

By the way, the Rising Media Personality Award is an adjunct of Martell's main giveaway, new to 2009; its inaugural iteration went to journalist/actor/beloved-of-the-Internet Niki Cheong. So congrats to Niki, too!

Apparently, Martell will be embarking on a nationwide roadshow with the Rising Personalities finalists. Watch Rise Above for more information.

What do you wish you had more of as a child?
  Pocket money! I used to get only 20sen back in school.
  Respect from my parents. I am my own person!
  I wish my parents listened to me, instead of keeping to the idea that "children should be seen and not heard"
  Attention! My siblings took it away from me. Grrr!
  Freedom. My parents never let me go out with my friends.
  Brand new clothes, not hand-me-downs that were ill-fitting!
  Maturity to impress and annoy the adults with.
  Time! Everything happened so quickly and I miss those carefree days.
  Toys, gadgets and the latest computer games, because we kids were competitive about things like that.
  I certainly wish I heard less of the phrase, "When I was your age..."
