Candice & Phyllis, Organiser:

Well it’s the time of the year again where we toss for prosperity and good luck! This year’s bai nian and lo hei session was at Jolie’s place.

We had our usual lo hei, as you know we always say auspicious stuff before we toss and this year we had Jean to do it for us! Well we certainly had a good laugh :P

Thereafter, we went over to Bugis for a steamboat lunch. Although we do visit this steamboat store at Bugis often, having a meal there together in the afternoon was a totally different experience (usually we had dinner instead). We had the whole restaurant to ourselves because there was no one else and well, that also meant that we had all the food to ourselves :P

I always enjoy having steamboat with RBKD because I think this is the best time for everyone to sit down and have a good chat while enjoying each other’s company. Well, not to mention that having steamboat together gives me a home-ly and family-like feeling :)

May this year be a good one for RBKD. Huat ah!

Vanessa, Participant:

This was my first time attending an event like this. At start, I was curious how it would be like. Upon reaching there, I found it kinda cool because of all the police standing almost everywhere. It’s not an everyday occurrence where you can see that number of policemen in one place.

It was such a great experience to watch the preview and the 1st episode of the drama on the big screen. Can’t help but smiling every time our idol appears on the screen, it made me even more excited toward its actual airing on TV. I’m sure many of us also shared the same sentiment.

I definitely enjoyed the premiere of C.L.I.F. 2 and felt so lucky to have a chance like that. Many Thanks to the SPF for all your efforts – in not only the filming of C.L.I.F. 1 & 2 as well as protecting the country as a whole.

Ying Mei, Participant:

I’m glad I had the chance to watch C.L.I.F.2’s special preview and first episode on a large screen (like in a cinema) and definitely, it felt so different as compared to watching the show on our tv.

Everyone was happily anticipating the start of the premiere and it didn’t disappoint at all as the show was rather fast-paced and very thrilling. Also, Rui En’s character, Zhi Jie was sooooo cute especially in the first episode! I hope there’ll be more opportunities like this where we can watch dramas’ premieres on a large screen and I’m sure everyone who went had an unforgettable experience. :D

“This is a police event, don’t try do anything funny!”
The sentence above (or something along that line) is something I heard about 2-3 times during the event. Haha.

Like almost all other events, RBKD was there early. So while waiting, we were all either eating/talking/resting/doing homework/reading/walking around/looking at rehearsals/staring into space.

Goodie bags were up for grab and to get a goodie bag, we had to find out what ‘COP’ and ‘COPS’ means and explain them to the officers. Haha. FYI, COP = Citizens on Patrol, whereas COPS = Community Policing System.

Then came the appearance of Rui En! *scream* *wave boards* The next moment, Rui En and the other artistes were all surrounded by residents and fans! BUT since it’s a police event they were pretty safe even though there was a huge crowd near them. When C.L.I.F. 2 clip was played, we were all cheering whenever Zhi Jie appeared on the screen! :D Even the emcee was teasing us after that – “some of you were waiting for the appearance of some character YAYYYYY!” Hahaha.

The event ended off with some of us going for a photo-taking session with the C.L.I.F 2 artistes!

Yanping, Ordinary Member:

This is the second time that I have participated in a roadshow with RBKD (first time being Joys of Life Roadshow) but it was rather different this time.This road show was in conjunction with the launch of Punggol Neighbourhood Police Centre.

It was quite an experience looking through all the exhibits at the roadshow. For those who have joined the event would probably have learnt one to two knowledge about keeping your own neighbourhood safe or even learnt how to maintain a good relationship with your neighbours.

The biggest difference between these 2 roadshows was that I have known more Rangels and thus explained more interactions. I still remembered during the last roadshow, though I was sitting with RBKD, I was not really talking as I did not know many of them. But now that I have known more of them through the IPCs, I had lotsa of interactions and fun. We joked around while waiting for the launch of the event. Really glad to be part of RBKD to go for the event and am looking forward for more of these!

My name is …. and I am ….

My name is Yamie and I am currently working while studying at UniSIM.

Me and RBKD:

It is an honour to be one of the few who lived through the birth of RBKD in 2008 and seeing it grow into a big family now in 2013. People met and bonds formed over the years, with the excitement and wondrous feeling of pride whenever I looked back to recall the journey travelled this far. It is truly breath-taking and amazing to realize that how a little faith has grown to become a pride.

1) Memorable and unforgettable moment(s) in RBKD was …….

The RBKD Orientation 2012. It has provided me a chance to step out of my busy schedule to enjoy spending time with friends. The performance/skit has me doing something totally out of my personality and pushed me to achieve it in the spirit of teamwork. It is one of the wild rides in life, and a deep sense of achievement grew within when you realized that everyone is on the ride and enjoying it immensely.

2) I have learnt in RBKD that……..

To have faith in whatever you put your mind to do and to keep working on it. Many a times, it may appear as an uphill task but with commitment, belief, strength and faith, anything can be possible if you believe and work for it.

3) My favourite IPC is …… because …….

The ‘Rail In, Flight Out of KL’ IPC. It is because it was a rare experience freezing the night away in a metal tin puffing and roaring through lands and across borders. If the freezing experience is not memorable enough, the endless prank calls bouncing off each room had all of us rolling on the beds with laughter. It was that simple realization that with friends, anything can be the most funny and enjoyable time.

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

The RBKD Orientation 2012 group photo captured the feelings of how many people of different backgrounds came together as one to form a rich colourful and joyous united front for RBKD.

5) I hope to go for an IPC in future that is ……

An overseas trip spent exploring the world with RBKD.

6) Words/pic to share with RBKD:
