Jean, Priority Member:

Like any other events, it all started with queuing :) From eating breakfast on the ground to sitting on poles munching and chatting away. Hahahaha! Photo as proof :)

Down to work on the boards for the China fans after lunch, my most feared Chinese characters…. Doing it without a table was back-breaking and I really did thought of just lying completely flat on the ground to do it :P But wearing the t-shirt with the words “RBKD” on it, 还是不要比较好.. Hahahaha! Thank goodness for the help from May Yen, Joanne and Xin Yi, at least one board was completed :)

During the Red Carpet, the boards basically became the backdrop. Hahaha! As cameras were rolling everywhere, allllll~ the time, plus the fact that we were right behind the hosts.

I really wish to express my thanks to Elvinology :) Hahaha! They were beside us during Red Carpet and they offered us food, even though in the end I ate up most of it. HAHAHAHA! :P

This year, Rangels took shift to queue overnight and indeed, our efforts weren’t wasted. We managed to get a strategic position. We were basically the backdrop of most of the media photos in the core interview area. To be honest, the feeling of seeing our boards dominating behind in the photos was quite good :p

The need to catch the camera, while trying to hide our faces, handling random pushes from behind, while still having to cheer, I believe all these required some skills too. Hahaha.. But well, I believe Rangels did it well, for we were heard and seen. Good job Rangels!

I have enjoyed myself, I believe those who were there enjoyed themselves too. And this time round, we have both China and Malaysia fans with us, which makes everything more special.

Lionel, Participant:

Our two overseas members (Squeen and Weijen) joined us for this dinner! A small cozy room for the 14 of us, we sure made lots of noise and ate lots of food during the 4 hours dinner.

To me, it was a kind of an old friend gathering, since the last time I saw Squeen and Corine was about 3 years ago and despite not seeing each other for a long time, nothing seems to have really changed. Kudos to friendship!

Tempuras and handrolls were the starters for the day, and sashimi were constantly brought in to fill up our hungry stomach. It was 4 hours of quantity (not really quality) food, and 4 hours of laughter and light-hearted moments.

Thank you organisers for arranging the meet-up!

Weijen, Participant (Malaysian Member):

Attending this dinner was one of the most anticipating nights in my 4-days trip to Singapore because spending time with Rangels, well the feeling is simply amazing, just like having a dinner with family members. Sweet and heartwarming. =)

Last year we had dinner at this same place and having witnessed how gigantic Jean was in terms of her food portion, I thought I would get used to this sight of her eating non-stop but I was still left amazed by the very same fact :o :o :o Yeah she is a bottomless pit in terms of food. With Corine, Jean has met her 最火搭档 in terms of food and language :D

Peals of laughter permeated through our dinner as we shared jokes and caught up with each other while enjoying the buffet dinner, sounds delightful huh? It was that delightful and I am so glad that, our pres initiated this so that we can just spend time with each other: Ming, Ser Chee, Bengyan, Phyllis, Xinyi, Jean, Lionel, Shirley, Sherwin, Corine, Joan, Joanne, Jolie…I try to remember all the names and faces because we do not meet each other often.

This is precious for an overseas Rangel like me, because I think it is these moments that define us as who we are, RBKD. <3

What: Bumping into Rui En at Changi Airport

When: 26 April 2013

Where: Changi Airport

—

Weijen, Priority Member (Malaysian Member):

Yes people, don’t ever doubt this. To bump into her at the airport on touching down from Penang, the feeling is like striking a lottery! Especially so if you are an overseas Rangel and this is the best thing that you could ever dream of, isn’t it??

It.is.just.like.a.dream :o

I was due to touch down at 1:20pm and my fellow Rangels: Joanne and Jolie, who have already been at the airport waiting for my arrival, got the news around 12pm that “The Dream Makers” was filming at the airport.

Anyway, when I arrived, I met up with them, then immediately they hurried me to another terminal. I was in a daze, I didn’t know what was happening because I was still settling down. I just heard something about filming and so I thought Joanne was bringing me to the terminal where Rui En had previously filmed for other dramas.

Oh my god there she is!! She was busy filming and we stayed on for around an hour before we approached her personally. But here is the issue, all of us were very shy and we discussed for quite some time before deciding who should make the first step haha. She was in a rush, but she still took a minute or two to have a picture with us.

Then I passed her some 土产 from Penang and she kept saying 谢谢，谢谢你们。It was so sweet and 26 April must be my luckiest day. :D

Junqi, Priority Member:

It wasn’t my first time at a live show, though it was still interesting seeing how it’s being produced and broadcasted. I really like how the fans would shout so randomly to their idols during commercial breaks haha :P

“The road to success comes through hard work, determination, and sacrifice.”

When CLP called her 最火搭档 during the most anticipated segment of the show (Favourite Female Character Award), I can’t even describe that feeling. Excitement, joy, relief, gratitude. Everyone went crazy, cheering and hi-fiving each other. So glad that after weeks and weeks of voting, our efforts finally paid off :D

Zhiqing, Priority Member:

This year is my first time attending the Star Awards Night 1. It was really an eye-opening experience for me, for it was my first time going to a live show. And what’s more? It was for supporting Rui En! :) I’m really glad to be given the opportunity to attend. Thanks RBKD!

Most of the Rangels were already there by the time I reached and were busy stabilizing the fan boards as well as doing other behind-the-scene stuff so as to ensure that we’re all well-prepared for the Award Ceremony.

During the Award Ceremony, we cheered as loud as we could whenever dramas that Rui En starred in were nominated. Nervous and praying hard before the Favourite Onscreen Couple & Favourite Female Character results were announced. With cheers, smiles and jumping with joy were us when we heard “最火搭档 瑞恩”.

It was a really great experience for me and heart-warming to know that two months of hard work finally paid off, and to be able to witness the Award Ceremony live, it made the whole experience even more priceless and memorable. :)
