What: I-Weekly 30th Anniversary Event
When: 26th March 2011
Where: NEX (Serangoon)
–
Celest, Priority Member:
RBKD was at NEX to purchase the stickmen tote bag designed by Rui En for the i-weekly 30th anniversary. It was a simple but creative design. As usual, we queued up very early and were the first in the queue again – the ethos of RBKD. Part of the proceeds went to the earthquake relief efforts in Japan. The buns and sardines in the tote bags were also collected voluntarily by us and donated to a charity home.
What came as a surprise was when the black official fan tee was unveiled by our FC President during the group photo taking. The long hours of waiting was worthwhile as all of us did something meaningful for charity. And needless to say, everyone was elated by just simply looking at our idol on the cover page of i-weekly #700 and reading about her story.

What: Serangoon Swing 2011
When: 31st December 2010
Where: Serangoon Gardens

Phyllis, In-Charge:
Who counts down to countdown? RBKD! (:
Spending 15 hours waiting for countdown is crazy! Hahaha.
The morning was spent fooling around/taking pictures! It was so hot that we even had to take turns to go to the sheltered area!!
Initially we were hanging around the VIP seats area, but since there was a bomb check in the afternoon, we “evacuated” to chomp chomp.
Not long after we settled down, it started to rain, phew~
But the rain also ended just in time for us to settle down back at the stage area! Mats were laid down, banners were tied, the big boards were displayed ! :)
RBKD was set for countdown!
So at around 6/7pm the performances started and we learnt the papaya dance! It was quite interesting, cause we did chicken dance during the “freestyle” part!!! Hahahahaha, everyone was enjoying and having fun la. Haha.
Then after all the assorted performances, Rui En came out at around 1130pm. I think most of us were already losing our voices! Cause we screamed/cheered/sing along for like all the previous performances!
*anywayyyy the long wait is finally over!!! (: *
She sang 白色羽毛 and followed by 空瓶. I could feel that everyone was really enjoying themselves! We were swaying our light sticks/boards and just having fun (:
Not long after, it was the time to countdown with everyone! The minute the clock strike twelve, everyone was super high! I think RBKD was even crazier cause we had our RBKD Train!!! We basically toured around the whole area waving our boards and screaming our lungs out (:
Even random passers-by joined our train! Hahahaha.
I don’t know how to describe it but its just damn crazy la! Hahaha.
To add on to the craziness, we even threw the Rui En boards high up!!
Well since its once in a year, sooooo why not ? :P
Then we also wished all the police men/residents/humans we saw along our way home “HAPPY NEW YEAR!!” (:
Anddddd to sum it all up, I think all of us enjoyed each other’s company & ushered the new year in the craziest way!
Happy 2011 once again everyone!!!!! (:

That day, there were 7 of us who started queuing at 8AM! LOL. What made it unbearable was the morning sun! It was so hot! Thus it was like a water&ice-cream day for us as we keep buying water and ice-cream. HAHA. Passengers on the bus were like staring at us because we waited at the ROADSIDE, sitting on a picnic mat. LOL.
*fast forward fast forward fast forward*
After the artistes left, it’s when RBKD went high! LOL. We formed our RBKD train, with Rui En’s board in our hand, and started walking around Serangoon Garden wishing ppl “Happy New Year”! Then ppl joined our train, even aunties and uncles! HAHA. We shouted “Serangoon, Happy New Year!” too. And when we did “RBKD, Rui En Happy New Year”, we threw our boards!! HAHAHA. Fun! Then we packed our stuffs and helped to pick up rubbish, like what Snail had said, as though we were doing CWO before leaving. ^^ While walking, we continued our “Happy New Year” to ppl who walked pass us, ppl at the opp bus-stop and even the policemen! HAHA.
Overall, its just another awesome day with RBKD! Seeing Rui En and the fun and craziness experienced with RBKD, the 15 hours of wait was worth it! ^^
HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Zilei, Priority Member:
Rui En sang 空瓶 and 白色羽毛 and obviously you and I know both that she’s awesome. I’ve really really ran out of words to describe her and her performances. She just really pretty and cute all the time la. It’s really nice to see Elvin and her on the stage and chatting. (I support Ruivin.) Hehe.
I guess the more important part of the countdown was the RBKD spirit. To be honest, we only got to see Rui En on stage for perhaps 10 minutes. But we got to be with RBKD for the entire day (especially those who went at 8am) or night. We got to queue with RBKD, we got to eat with RBKD, we got to scream and shout with RBKD, we got to do so much things that we don’t get to do with Rui En. It is about spending so much more time with RBKD than watching Rui En’s performance yet feeling that it was definitely worth it.
Okay back to the countdown. I really love the RBKD Train despite me doing really embarrassing things like holding the RE board the wrong way (it faced behind). But it was fun how we didn’t care about what others would think of us, be it being crazy, or even people on CWO.
–
Xinyi, President:
It’s almost as though counting down together has become a tradition for RBKD, at least that’s what the humans in RBKD would say. Here’s something to share if you weren’t with us this time round.
The newest way to support our big boards!
These people are really good at self-entertaining.
Dear Minmin, how did you feel when you first see the board? :D
PS: Minmin is the manager of Rui En.
So shortly after the clock struck twelve, most of us dumped our bags on the picnic mat and started our RBKD train. We pulled in boys and girls, aunties and uncles, elves and angmohs to join in the fun. We went “touring” around Serangoon Gardens and shouting “Happy New Year” to everyone. By everyone, I really meant EVERYONE, including the police officers on duty! :P
I think I might have been able to recruit another 50 members for RBKD if I set up a registration counter there that day. Suddenly, everyone wanted to “join” RBKD. Aunties and uncles were waving our RBKD RE boards and I heard an angmoh even tried snatching Isabel’s board from her during our “tour”!
After our crazy tour, it was time for our usual “CWO” (Corrective Work Order). If you saw a group of people picking up 2 garbage bags full of litter with their barang barang on their back, don’t doubt, that’s us! Done clearing the mess, we realised we forgot to take a group photo but many Cinderellas had already “ran” home in their pumpkin carriages!
Better than nothing, we sat right in the middle of the road, with 2 policemen and countless residents looking on, taking our own sweet time to get that shot that could never be right with these crazy people around. Don’t believe? See the picture below =)
Happy New Year. Here’s to another great year together again.
What: YOUTHphoria 2010
When: 30 October 2010
Where: Singapore Discovery Centre
–
Yanling, Overall In-charge:
I guess this is the first time we have so many people going to RE’s event together! With about 50 participants altogether from our side, (Y)!
As a big group, it was pretty hard to assemble and organize everyone. Therefore the coordinator of the day, Joyce, has really done a good job in helping out with that. *clap clap* Thanks a lot for that! (:
Somehow time always passes quickly every time she is on stage. Even though we were there for about 6hours before her performance, but that 30minutes of her feels faster than our waiting time. Being able to see her coincidentally at the walkway made me feel really “Awww~~”
–
Joyce, Coordinator:
Reached cityhall to meet the rest and off we set off to youthphoria event in the shuttle bus! i didnt do a lot of interaction on bus cause i PURELY WANT TO STONE. LOL. i got a hard time opening my pathetic lollipop. thanks celest! she opened it for me! HAAH.
Long after the ride, we’ve reached. met 147 (yanling) and got the tickets from her and moved in for the games, goodies etc etc! Played the Shooting game! Learning to be HU XIAO MAN is not easy, the small pistol can already weigh like an penguin! It was so heavy! And I only shot like 3 targets out of “don’t-know-how-many”. Went off to play and see other games and goodies. Went to catch show! OMG. Worst show ever, its like what Zilei had mention, pure action scene and no storyline. Decided to move out upon the second movie. HAHA. Went to had early dinner and carry on with other games and activities!
EVENT time- went out to entrance at around 5.55pm with 147 to meet the rest of the rbkd people, marked attendance and gave out entrance tickets, brought them in and seated them according to the planned seating arrangement. after all performances, the long awaited idol appeared! everyone shouted as usual. She sang 2 songs, QINGWA and BAISEYUMAO. okay la, everyone was snapping and video-ing but im just purely holding onto my board and sway and enjoy her performance. HAHA. so yes, im the 100% enjoying her performance person! HAHA.
After she sang BAISEYUBAO, i wanted to do something that leaves her an impact and impression of us in youthphoria event! SO i ask them to shout “RUI EN, WE LOVE YOU!” and of course the one and only replied back with “I LOVE YOU TOO” hee. so sweet right? ahya, tell you all here also no use! See videos bah! it was so successful! im so proud of rbkd! willing to work and cooperate together to achieve this! :D
AND AS USUAL, she’s stunning! no use writing too much too, look at pictures k? (:
enjoyed the event and day! although it was tiring but its worth it for the idol! right everyone? kekeke!

What: Seven.Zero.Eight
When: 7 August 2010
Where: Signature Park
–
Phyllis, Deputy Project Director:
Maybe for the first time, the attendance rate of the new members for members events were higher than the senior members!
Since the members were relatively unfamiliar with people around them , it was kinda awkward at the beginning for everyone. So we started with our usual (3+1) introduction method to get things started !
But the climax was when we played ‘Double Whacko’ !!!! Even the quieter ones started to get enthusiastic and the atmosphere was definitely better :) You have seen their faces when they called out their own partner (double whacko rule: to be paired up w another person in the inner circle, a.k.a your partner) ! Hahahaha, certainly worth remembering :)
Then it was time for ‘Don’t forget the lyrics’! They were certainly all hyped up when they were trying to make up their group name…. we had names like hypy (Hanyu Pinyin) etc.Hahahaha. Many of them were dying to use their phone dictionaries to check out the chinese character they didn’t know how to write! :P But they still tried their best and it was really a commendable effort :)
Well 天 下无不散之宴席, (all good things must come to an end) it was time to go and i am sure most of them had fun and got to know each other better! :)
–
Casslyn, Participant:
Seven.Zero.Eight was the first IPC I’ve joined despite being in the forum for almost one year, and it took a great deal of courage for me to meet up with the other members. It was certainly comforting to know that many of the members there were also as new as I was to the fan club; we were all there to make new friends :D
We introduced ourselves by choosing 3 of the questions given to us to answer. That helped me to learn a little bit more about the others, although I still couldn’t really remember their names well. I also had a whale of a time playing double whacko. Double whacko is indeed thrilling, with our hearts palpitating erratically whenever our names are called. A wave of guilt surged through me whenever I did not manage to call out another person’s name in time, but all of us know that nobody really minded or blamed anybody(:
“Don’t Forget Her Lyrics” is also unforgettable. I was in the ‘hanyupinyin’ group, and as our group name suggests, whenever the other teams get stuck at a chinese character, we will fill it up for them and earn the points instead. I must admit that my level of chinese doesn’t seem to be good enough for all those chim chinese words, hence all the credits are given to my awesome groupmates :D
We ended the day with taking photos and I believe that all of us had fun posing for them :D Looking forward to joining more IPCs in the future!
–
Celest, Participant:
I suggested having a fanclub gathering with all the members so as to allow new members like me to get to know the old and new members. I am glad that my suggestions has been taken into consideration and because of that, the SevenZeroEight was organised. It was a new experience for me joining a fanclub and reaching out of my comfort zone to meet people whom I don’t know in the first place but all like Rui En at the same time.
I enjoyed myself very much during the gathering, especially being involved in the “wacko” and “Don’t forget her lyrics” game. The “wacko” game was very effective in helping me to remember the names of the members and the “Don’t forget her lyrics” made me feel excited because I like to listen and sing Rui En’s songs. But I think it would be better if more older members have turned up for the event coz the majority are new members. I hope that this kind of gathering can be organized annually for members to mingle around and have fun.
–
Junqi, Participant:
It was kind of awkward at first because of the many unfamiliar faces around. However in the next hour or so, we slowly opened up to one another and started having real fun. Personally, I really like the ice breaker games. Not only did it lighten the atmosphere, but also fuelled interaction between the members.
All in all, it was a fun get together event, and I’m sure all of us had a great time. So kudos to the organizers! Looking forward to similar events in future (:
–
Xinyi, Participant:
Like what Phyllis said, this was our first club event with the new members outnumbering the senior ones. For so many of them, this was the first time they stepped out of their comfort zone (now these people are our regulars in IPC :P ).
This event was originally slated for 31st July, but it was such an auspicious date that it clashed with Unriddle’s event at Settlers. Yes, imagine the frenzy when we solved the first clue and realised that the events clashes! :O
Anyway, back to the event. It was really nice Shirley and I could take a back seat and act as mentors to our excellent organising team. Their “Double Whacko” proved to be so popular that it is now a must-have ice-breaker in RBKD. I’m glad I gave this event the green light :)

What: Taman Mutiara Mas Grand Opening
When: 26th September 2010
Where: Skudai, Johor, Malaysia
Participant(s): Lydia, Jiamin, Joyce, Xinyi, Serchee, Bengyan, Shirley & Li Yan.
–
Xinyi:
It was a last minute decision to head up to JB. The rationale was simple enough, we thought it would be a nice gesture and we needed videos anyway. So it was a frantic calling to the various car renting services approx. 48 hours before the event.
We were caught in a small jam on our way there, luckily at the next turn, we saw the event banners with her face on every other lamp post. So she “guided” us to the event venue, thanks! =D
We were kind of surprised to see such a big crowd at the “ulu-ly” located event; and thanks to Lydia, we managed to get a prime spot despite arriving late. Thanks!
It was a little squeezed and it was scorching hot but thumbs-up for the organising, the ones at Singapore can’t be mentioned in the same breath, no where near.
It was a big surprise that she decided to sing 白色羽毛, personally I don’t remember her performing any tracks from her debut album post-Metamorphosis.
She sang 青蛙 next and as usual, she looked EVERYWHERE ELSE except at us, now before you say anything like “What’s new?”, here’s one indeed. When we chanted “希望希望”, she smiled at us in the most appreciative manner.
I really liked that moment, like a mutual understanding that we are always there for each other.
Oh, and “what’s new”? We took our group pic at the middle of the road AGAIN……
–
Jiamin:
After much effort, we finally got to our destination around 1pm. We took some time to settle down and before RE’s performance, the host asked for 6 volunteers to participate in a game and both Joyce and I volunteered. We got chosen and the start of my agony begins……
The aim of the game was to use the butt to burst as many balloons as possible in a minute. Since I couldn’t really blow nor tie balloons, I will have to burst them!! After the first one was blown, I rushed to the chair and sat on it and it went … POP! And this carried on for the next 3 balloons. Well, our team ended with 4 balloons burst in a minute and it was a tie with the second group. So both groups got our goodie bags :D –I guess I have to agree with the host that my butt is rather有弹性 BUT it hurts!!-
Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q8fx8hU3Y2Y
Up next was RE’s segment. It started off with a short interview where the host asked about Unriddle, her upcoming show and a few questions such as any characters that she is interested to act if she have the chance and she replied mental patient. After the interview was her singing 2 songs-白色羽毛 &青蛙. I was shocked when she said the first song cause I really din expect to have the chance to hear that song live again. Nonetheless the singing was superb, could see that RE was enjoying herself on stage, grooving to the music.
After that was another game session. This time round 3 volunteers were needed and I went on stage again…….. To me, this game was worse cause it involves acting!!! I was like ‘ ah die, why did I volunteer?! Should have waited for the host to finish saying everything before I raise my hands =.=’ But well, I guess I will only do such things out of Singapore..back in sg我是很 shy de k!! So yup, I got to act as a police:)
Finally, it was an autograph session for selected individuals. After signing and taking photos, RE’s event ended and she left….We stayed for a while before continuing with our post-event activities :D

What: Unriddle’s Event @ Settlers
When: 31st July 2010
Where: Settlers Cafe @ SMU
–
Xinyi, Number One:
I was the sole passenger on board the train from Dhoby Ghaut to Bras Basah, the clock flashed “6:00am” in red when I stepped out of the train.
Shortly after, a couple of others arrived too. This, despite us not agreeing to meet up beforehand. Telepathy uh?
McBreakfast was the only thing worth rejoicing when it should have been a sleep-in day. With our schooling members busy revising subjects like Economics, Geography, Biology and Mathematics, there was no hint that we were crazy fans taking the first train just for this event.
I’m not sure if this would become a RBKD’s tradition, but again we went down the queue giving out free sweets and snickers, including to non-members.
Compared to tiredness, the most unbearable thing in this event was the presence of the cameras. A cap comes in extremely handy in times like this. Trust me, I’m speaking from experience.
–
Celest, Number Nineteen:
This could probably be the craziest thing I have even done in my entire life, playing the online unriddle game and queuing up so many hours before the event just to be among the 1st 30 people to be up-closed with Rui En.
By participating in this event, I got to see the RBKD members for my first time as everyone were in black and also managed to get to know another new fanclub member too. However, I did not have any interaction with the rest of the RBKD members who were there and was only able to get a deeper impression of the RBKD members when I went to the SevenZeroEight event.
But above all, I would say that this is definitely an unforgettable experience for me and my dream come true as I took a photo with Rui En.

What: Star Awards Ceremony 2 @ RWS
When: 25 April 2010
Where: Resorts World Singapore

All those cheering, if you were there, you would have known how loud we were. Half of us woke up with no/hoarse voice the next day. The other half? They had lozenges and drank water as though they just completed a marathon in the Sahara. True enough, it was a cheering marathon and the immense satisfaction from screaming alongside people with a common goal is indescribable.
Thank you for giving us a chance to cheer our lungs out for you :)

Sorry if we sounded like a group of excited pre-schoolers on their first school’s excursion; when you are in great company, it can be really difficult to contain one’s excitement and things can only get more out of hand with all the sweets and snacks passing around.
And my sincere apologies if you drove past our bus that day to be shocked by the group of us frantically waving our “Rui En” boards at you. The good news is, your heart is still going strong :)

When: 18 April 2010
Where: MediaCorp Singapore

Candice, Priority Member:
It’s the first Star Awards RBKD had tickets to! We were super excited! 8 of us got so high! By 6.30, we were in the theatre. Artistes were streaming in and we were trying to spot Rui En. After a couple of wrong guesses, approximately 15 minutes before the show was to begin, we saw her walking in and we screamed “Rui En!!!” crazily.
During the show, we kept looking down at where she sat! She was so nice and repeatedly looked up to wave at us throughout the show! I think our screams were the loudest!
After the show, we went to RG. It’s so sweet of her to come out of her car, have a short chat and group photo with us even though she was in the rush. Filming’s on the next morning, poor her.

What: Rui En’s Birthday Gathering 2010
When: 16 January 2010
Where: 7th Storey Restaurant @ Wilkie Edge
Organiser(s): Xinyi and Min Min
—
Joey, Table 5:
The birthday celebration for Ruien held by our club this year, was yet another amazing and unforgettable event in the RBKD history. On that very Saturday, all of us met up at dhoby ghaut mrt station, and as a big group, we took the sbs bus which suddenly looked like a schoolbus, to the restaurant.
After waiting for actually-I-don’t-know-how-long, ruien appeared! Everyone chua tio-ed and pretend like nothing happened, but actually inside the hearts all shivering, happy like siao right! Strike 4D also not so happy hor!
Did some self-intro thingy, and slowly everyone opened up and started having real fun. Ruien went from table to table to communicate with the different groups, and I’m sure every single person there had some awesome time talking to her. She ended at my table, and whoo, what’s a birthday gathering without cake-cutting? So we sang her the birthday song with our suddenly-so-beautiful voices, she made an awesome wish though I don’t really know what it is, and then cut the cake! It was a beautiful cake, and we have minmin to thank! Had a small photo-taking session at the end, and very soon after, she left. Really hope she enjoyed herself!
A big thank-you to the committees who put so much effort into making this whole gathering a possibility, and of course ruien for taking the time off to attend this. Confirm guarantee plus chop and double bang with insurance and GST7% everyone enjoyed it right?

Xianli, Table 2:
The birthday celebration was great.
When Rui En arrived, i noticed everyone looked at her for a sec, and then back to their foods.
hahah. Maybe we were all like “omg! she come already! how!? how!?”
We did ice breaking activities, and back to food again. hahaha.
While we were eating, Rui En went table to table and have a little chat with us.
If there is another chance to have a little chat with her,
I’d better come out with some questions in advance.
cos all i did was just smiling and nodding, not much talking.
After she went all of the groups, cake cutting time!
whoohoo!~ i <3 the cake! haha! One big smiley. :D
Thanks Minmin for the lovely yummy cake~
We sang the birthday song and photo taking time!
Snap snap snap! Thank you to the person who invented camera,
so that we are able to captured these wonderful memories.
I love the "ali baba gostan" part that made her LOL-ed. =D
After some time, she left and we left.
Thank you to the committees for everything,
Thank you Rui En for coming,
Thank you Minmin for the lovely cake again,
last but not least, thank you to all those who snap non-stop during that day. =)
Planting another wonderful memories in my brain cells that i will never kill them.
loL~

Zilei, Table 5:
Totally, absolutely, utterly awesome day for all of us.
I was eating when I saw her seated at the table so I elbowed Qiao Zhen that Rui En was there and then she looked around and couldn't see her, and when she saw her she went "OMG." I suddenly realised everybody was eating as though she was not there. No cameras, no permanent markers or anything so we continued eating like everyone else while we were like "OMG OMG OMG IT'S RUI EN!" inside. Heh.
Did self-intro and she went to each table to talk to everybody, take pictures and sign autographs etc. while we were eating. And I finally took my first picture with her and I'm still very happy until now. *Smiles widely*
After that was cake-cutting (Thanks Minmin for the happy cake!) and group picture. The cake was really delicious and that includes one of the eyes which I ate...
Really glad that I could know more about my fellow table-mates (and of course other RBKD-ers through the self-intro).
Really really thank the committee for organising it and making it a success and Rui En for attending!
I won't forget the newly-added fond memories and of course the skin cells. :>
