Words cannot express how grateful I am to be able to make it for this trip, having to face flight changes that almost cut short my trip by one day, I would not have been able to enjoy this wonderful trip if not for my travel partner, Sherwin to agree to extend one more day in the first place.

Next, thank you Joanne for being such a fantastic tour guide throughout our trip. It is a joy to spend time with you, and I am so touched and guilty that you took 5days’ leave just to show us around, and how many welcome breakfast/lunch/dinner you have treated us to?? Sherwin说，Joanne就是我们的保姆哈哈哈。XD

Finally, thank you President Xinyi, for settling our accommodation and everything. Haha everything about RBKD & Rangels, just 离不开你。=)

Day 1: Changi Airport

Touched down at 1pm. The moment when I was done with my immigration procedures, 有一股不知如何形容的感觉和兴奋。陌生又带点熟悉的亲切感，好高兴即将在自己瑞不可当的经历中，增添这一篇全新的一页。

I had told Joanne that I wanted to experience the public transport as much as possible. This is because in Penang, we do not have MRT. We get around by mostly by personal transport. So although this is not my first time in Singapore, this is my first time taking MRT!

Day 2: Star Awards 2012

Woke up at 650am to shower and put on my RBKD official tee to gear up for the annual battle at the most important event of the year!

I didn’t have the appetite to eat throughout the day I don’t know why, McD lunch/dinner/supper was my second meal of the day after the breakfast at Burger King.

I noticed that outside of normal business hours, the food options in Singapore are really limited. In Penang, 24/7 we have food everywhere. Be it fast food chains or roadside stalls, food stalls are in abundance.

Day 3: Bugis Junction & Bugis Village, Newton

Went for a full day sightseeing after starting the day with breakfast at the hawker centre at Chinatown. 猪肠粉 & 炒萝卜糕 (This is nice! I don’t think I see this in Penang) for breakfast. After that we went to Merlion and Esplanade the art center 榴莲壳。 Well travelling is all about walking though, we chatted along the way, I enjoyed that seriously =)

Headed to Bugis after that and haha we had some fun recalling the filming scenes we have seen on tv! Especially Bugis Junction which Rui En filmed the clown story from Unriddle 1!

Day 4: IPC @ Istana & Japanese cuisine buffet

Hopped onto my first bus trip in Singapore to Istana. Luxuriant Istana, a perfect place for jogging I thought haha! Honestly I felt like climbing up the tree, but I didn’t in the end because I thought the branch could snap if I were to climb it la haha!

The highlight of the trip is the dinner. We had been laughing throughout the dinner, literally from the start till the end!! When Jean and Sherwin are together, you just can’t stop laughing. No offence but they are humorous people that just light up the atmosphere so easily. Who else but Sherwin can mistake the gents for the ladies? Being with friends, the happiest thing is to laugh, eat and chat. 因为这得来不易的缘分，所以格外珍惜。=)

Such a memorable trip that Rangels have given me.
当我准备登机时，心情真的是万分不舍。

There are still some places that I have not been to, so it is unfinished business. There will still be next time, I believe, so see you guys soon!

Joan Chen, Participant:

It was a sundrenched afternoon. The weather was perfect for a leisurely outing to the Istana. To my surprise, we were “welcomed” by security officers who “ordered” us to hand over our personal belongings and bag for security screening at the Istana gate!

After the security check, with a spring in my step, I entered the Istana. This time round I was being welcomed by the vast verdant fields! We found a shady area under a tree and sat down.

We chatted animatedly, laid around to read I weekly/ 8 days for the latest news on SA, some boisterous ones climbed the tree and folding paper planes to entertain my kids! I did not realize that there are so many different ways to fold a paper plane!

Thank you for organizing such a great outing! I enjoyed it tremendously.

Squeen, Participant:

这是我第一次参加IPC,没有什么任务,就是很轻松的跟Rangels随意聊聊,感觉大家很诗情画意,但是,是看周刊,哈哈.

有感动是有人为了我们出席而陪伴我们,因为这次无法睡眠,所以,也没有力气走去总统府的家,而我们就在绿油油的草地坐着,稍微聊聊天,轻轻松送度过了一个美丽的午后时光。

Joanne, Priority Member:

It was my first time going early to Q for the show….it was kind of an experience!! During the long wait….Eunice started to entertain us, by sharing her 冷笑话! Which makes time pass faster. Thank you, Eunice!!

Tick Dock! Tick Dock!
Finally it’s time to enter the theatre. we moved in slowly…managed to get a great spot…..to cheer for Rui En!

Most of the Rangels who were there, were first timer for the show, thus I felt that they must have taken up lots of courage whenever they cheered! Though our group was small, our cheers were loud!! This must be the 瑞不可当精神! For sure after show, we were all tired, however I believed we all had fun and enjoyed themselves!!!

Lastly, would like to thank Rui En for stopping by the radiogate for us, despite having an early filming the next day!! 谢谢你!

This year is the first year I’ve attended SA1 live and with RBKD. It was an unforgettable experience for me as we spent the entire morning and afternoon queuing up, helping out in making those “RUIVIN” boards, and at last, entering the theatre for what we came for.

I’ve also realised how difficult it is to cheer so loudly and in unison till the entire theatre can hear us clearly as other fanclubs are cheering for their idols as well and it is really hard to coordinate everyone in the “chaos”. But we still did it TOGETHER.

Kudos to our club president and committee members for coordinating this! And congrats to Rui En and RBKD for the 2 awards, because we have done it! Our weeks of voting have paid off~^^

There is always a first time in everything we do, we should not be afraid to take the first step. And everything is possible, as long as we put our hearts in it.

Waterfront IPC!

Because through this IPC, I got closer to some members and I enjoyed myself that day chatting and playing around! I loved the numerous “failed” jumpshots we all took that day as well~

4) This is my favourite photo(s) taken in RBKD because …..

Isn’t it meaningful to contribute to the less fortunate in the society?

Loheiiiii! Wishing for a good and meaningful year ahead!

Something that’s got to do with food! Hahaha because I love to eat :D

6) Words/pic to share with RBKD:

“Never give up until the last whistle blows”

This was what my coach told the team a few years back for our Nationals, and I believe this is applicable to every situation in life.
