Hiking Team
Sandra, Participant:
I joined the Pulau Ubin IPC , partly because of “The-In-Laws” and to make new friends ! It was awkward and still is slightly, but I enjoyed myself so much ! I chose to hike at first because the previous times I came to Ubin, I hardly realize I’m cycling further away from the rest so I thought it would be anti-social to cycle, so I chose to hike and hahaha donate blood (a bit too much blood). But after lunch, I chose to cycle the individual bike!
OH (!) and we had the whole boat to ourselves, both to-and-fro !!! I preferred the boat ride back because it was slightly less awkward and we were all busy laughing at Jean !!
I had so much fun and made many new friends! Lastly, 我的华文 Olevel 刚刚考完所以我的华文表达方式不好，rusty le hehehe 所以他们问我问题我reply in English!!! 可是我的Olevel华文口试要到了所以我会尽量讲华语。谢谢………alibaba gostan

Cycling Team
Shu Wen, Participant:
We met up in the morning at Changi Village terminal. It was my first time to Ubin. Half of us decide to cycle and the rest decide to walk. I belonged to the cycling group. We spent some time choosing our bicycle. Deciding which route should we take and off we go.
We cycled on rocky road and slopes. Jean was made to cycle back, reason being was, if you hear HA-HA-HA-HA-HA, you will know that she is not lost. Half way through we decide to head for Chek Jawa hoping to see plants and creatures. Parked our bicycle out the gate of Chek Jawa and we saw wild boar. A small incident cropped up when we parked our bicycle. Phyllis knock over one bicycle and the rest of the bicycles fell down one by one like domino effect. We just stared as each bicycle fell and go Ha-Ha-Ha. End up we had to lift about 10 bicycles up.
Head back to the starting point to meet up with the rest for lunch. Having zi char with a big group is great, you get to eat different kind of dishes. From Ubin owned grown vegetable to meat and hot plate Toufu.
Cycling at Ubin was no joke. Those uphill slopes are soooo steep. You want to CHIONG up the slope but end up half way pushing it up. Jean was like HA-HA-HA-ing almost the whole journey. Ended up laughing along with no energy to chiong up the slopes. But if you can’t get past the uphill slope you can’t enjoy the downhill slope. And it was super SHIOK when you’re on the downhill. At the end of the day, you get butt pain and muscle ach all over but the enjoyment and laughter is worth it.

What: Steamboat Dinner
Where: Bugis, Beach Road
–
Jean’s table:
Steamboat dinner at Bugis was noisy at my table, just because of a meatball (which up till now, I don’t know why…). Haha! Compared to the other tables, I guess our table was also the messiest. Only after the group photos of the other tables were taken then did we realised it. Tissue paper everywhere, clam and crab shells all over the place.
HAHAHA! After this steamboat dinner, I know who doesn’t eat much:P The food wasn’t that bad and at least it filled my stomach up till I felt like sleeping so badly towards the end. Haha!
–
Ser Chee’s table:
Our table consists of:
Dong fen masters (cellophane noodles)
Basically the 3 masters grabbed 4 mountains of dong fen in total. We are pretty sure if there are more dong fen at the counter (they cleared most), they will end up with more than just 4 mountains of it.
Mushroom attacker
This attacker simply attacks all types of mushrooms, not letting go of any in sight. She even knows the pricing and the exact quantity of those can ones. Right hor, miaoting?
Difference in definition btw: Taiwan sausage vs sausage vs hotdog
There exists a Taiwan sausage lover, who requested for sausage and ended up being served with hotdogs. So morale of the story: Either u state clearly what u want OR simply go get it yourself.
RBKD steamboat dinner definitely has the feel of a family reunion dinner. Heartwarming and filled with joy. We love the RBKD style =D
–
Kah Yin’s table:
After a long day out @ Sentosa, we went for steamboat dinner @ Bugis! YEAH! :D At the start, people at my table were pretty quiet compared to the other table. Guess its because we are hungry and tired? LOL. Or isit just me? HAHA. Yes, I love going out to take food! Why? Because of the GOLDEN MUSHROOM!! WAHAHA! But the tray containing the golden mushroom just kept becoming empty the first few times we went down >_< But finally, after a few trips down, HOHOHO, the golden mushroom was finally refilled. But we are not selfish, we didn’t take all but who knows later on, Joyce and Rachael went down and took the remaining up! HAHAHA! In the end, we emptied the whole tray of golden mushroom! LOL! :P And our steamboat thus was full of golden mushroommmmmmm! (I like! HAHA!)
After an hour of eating, everyone at my table was more or less full, so we started playing games!! This was where we started becoming noisy! First we started playing ‘The Ultimate Number’ and then ‘Concentration’. Those who lose had to eat a whole scoop of food from the steamboat! HAHA! Some of us even ate up close to 10 scoops of food! :P FUN!! Thereafter, we pay our bills and left the place full and contented! :D It’s always fun with RBKD, even if it was just a dinner! :D
Missing in picture: Ethan who left 10 minutes before this photo was taken.

Seraphilia’s table
I really enjoyed myself at the steamboat dinner. My table was awesome! I first started not knowing much people at my table…but a while later we started getting to know each other better. I luv my table bcuz everyone was real chatty n funny. After we ate till our tummy’s gonna burst, we had lots of fun chatting about Rui En’s stuff and all…the food there was awesome too. Thanks to the people at my table for being so friendly, cheery n chatty! haha!
Yes, it was pouring heavily on the morning itself.
But No, the rain didn’t daunt the RBKD’s spirit.
That’s why we are called 瑞不可当 =D hahaha…
Double wacko!! Love this game because it helps us remember names & faces – the fun way!
3 plus 1!! A RBKD trademark introduction game which allows us to know more about other members :)
Amazing Race – Bengyan (Member since 2010)
Ever played amazing race using Whatsapp? RBKD did it =) Sent our completed task (be it pictures or video) through Whatsapp to our organizer and get the clues to the next station.
We are literally exploring the whole of Sentosa. Got weird stares from the public when we asked a group of Vietnam students to form the word RBKD and shout “WE LOVE RBKD”. Although in the end our group did not win, it is the bonding and interaction between us that really matters.
Amazing Race – Mandy and Samuel (Member since 2010 and 2011 respectively)
We definitely made the $3 worthwhile by getting on the monorail sooo many times! We practically walked the whole of Sentosa, did crazy things and got stared at (like taking quirky photos with Merlion as the backdrop)
The jumpshot in front of the globe was the funniest because my slippers flew into the puddle of water when I jumped and the water splashed onto someone!! Really sorry to that person :$
Now we can proclaim that we’ve conquered Sentosa Island with RBKD!!
Amazing Race – Kahyin (Member since 2008)
Started Amazing Race after our lunch and OMG, our group went to the wrong place for the FIRST station!! We went to the entrance of Sentosa when the venue should be at Palawan. What a good start huh! Haha! But we had fun doing the video for 慢舞 as our fast forward helpline! We even did a chicken dance video after we completed our “MV”! LOL! Seem like we are addicted to dancing!
-Video to be added-

It’s really amazing how a group of strangers can have such great interaction and ended up being such awesome group mates. Many of us didn’t even know each other before this. Never ever underestimate orientation; this is where friendship can be build.
Lastly, thank you everyone for making this orientation possible =D

Kah Yin, Organiser:
Hoho, one word : SHIOK! LOL. The first IPC organised by me and I’m glad more than 10 ppl turn up! heh heh. Although I didn’t manage to play with some of you, I really hope everyone enjoyed playing with one another. (Just to share, the amount of shuttlecocks I threw away were a lot more than the amount I brought there. :O) I’m glad to hear that more members are joining us as PM! :D See you guys soon and thanks for coming!!
ps. I’m sorry because I didn’t know that CPCC was so stuffy that day. :X
–
Ying Mei, Participant:
It was a little awkward in the beginning as i didn’t really know anyone there. Badminton was very fun despite a lot of us not knowing how to play. The only downside in the entire ipc was the heat. It was really stuffy. We also witnessed a battle of the two “si bei zai” (very good) people (Kahyin and Alberton). Through dinner at long johns, I knew more about the other members and atmosphere was pretty high, noisy and FUN as there was more interaction.
Overall i had a very fun day and this ipc also allowed us to exercise (promote healthy living)! I want to thank Kahyin for organising this ipc and I would definitely join more ipcs in the future!

KL OIPC
Hahahah, what a name! Cool or what, 2D2N IPC with RBKD peeps at KL. Hahaha.
The train ride was OMGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG-ly COLD!!!!! Thank god I’m in JEANS. The one beside me was in SHORTS. HAHAHAHA. So at like 1+am? Snail came up with this idea of using the umbrella to trap heat ya. Okay, no one in the right frame of mind will listen to her but I thought, NO HARM TRYING RIGHT. So ya, SURPRISINGLY, IT WORKED!!!!!!
Then, we were at KL!!!!!!! WOOHOO! First thing in the morning we hit the jackpot!! HAHAHAHA. How heng are we! HENG BUS! I shall cut long story short! We put in 5tickets worth of notes and we got 10tickets worth of coins instead!
Had the desire to try roller coaster for the first time in my life and after trying, had the desire to play. But after playing, I told myself, NO MORE!!!!! SERIOUSLY, NO MORE!!! I WAS VERY SCARED I WILL FALL OFF. I was grabbing so tightly that I could see my own fingernails’ prints on my palms!! THAT’S HOW TIGHTLY I GRABBED. Then that person beside me, NEVER SHOUT DAO!!
At night after my 1.5hour shower, while preparing to nua on my bed, I suddenly sensed torchlight shining at my face. *heads up* “HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU” loudly and “happy birthday to you!” softly. HAHAHA.
They totally ignored my “你们为什么有我的room的key?!?!” and for the next 10mins or so, I was interrogated for taking so long (1.5hour) to shower!! HAHAAHHHAHA.
The peepos next door left shortly after the interrogation while Phy and I continued talking. “eh just now i was talking to Snail about the plan and you suddenly came out!! So I went to get my mum’s shoe randomly.” Coincidentally, Aunty Chow woke up halfway in between our conversation and, WAS WONDERING WHERE HER SLIPPERS GONE TO. HAHAHAHA, Phy and I just LOL-ed~ :P
Here’s a video of Jean from me! :D

Interestingly this KL trip was ulu batu for me on several counts haha. Early Saturday morning, found myself at the wrong airport terminal, horrors! Budget AirAsia takes off from Terminal 1, not Budget Terminal, zzz. Touchdown KL, thinking I had plenty time before meeting everyone for check-in at hotel, gleefully jumped onto a cheap RM18 direct ride to the hotel. Only to realise had been tricked onto a slow coach that made so many stops it took 2 hours to get to Times Square. When Pres messaged that they were at a theme park, assumed they had ventured outside of town. Until I found my way to the top of the shopping mall, my jaw dropped at the fearsome rides spinning around in the huge park INDOORS. And then Sunday morning’s adventure takes the ulu cake – we rode on a bus away from the city, past Batu Caves and almost to Genting, in search of cameras, lights and action close to a river / pond / forest / waterfall… without realising till much later we had spent the initial hours moving further and further away from the intended location.
Some of the highlights. At the hotel – don’t see Celest quiet quiet, she gamely agreed to deliver all the prank calls; saving me the embarrassment of blowing my cover. Past midnight, we got to slam our fav rootbeer float in classic glass mugs and say cheers! And we didn’t have to smuggle home the glass mugs; we got to buy and take home a mini-er version!
Sunday morning, the quaint little village-town in the middle of nowhere where everyone knows everyone else and where we had delicious Da-bao and top quality kopi. On location, Shirley spied among the greenery, a plant with hanging heart-shaped leaves (see pic below), and we called out in unison -a JZ kind of plant! The weather warm and humid; we were flowing perspiration but it was time spent together and treasured.
Nice to note we have progressed from Skudai trip so soon with this trip; from drive to rail and flight. One thing though, some things don’t change – somehow we just always need to take the road less travelled. And that’s what makes it special, isn’t it.
Ming
“Choo Choo Choo~”
I thought it would be non-air-conditioned…
I thought it would be those of what we usually see in movies and dramas…
I thought it would be a ‘sweaty’ ride…
and all our thoughts… were purely thoughts…
It turned out to be…
cold.below freezing.biting.arctic.icy.numbing.shivering.shuddering
(yes, it was THAT cold)
After 8 hours on the train, we finallyyyy reached KL and we began the day with Lady Luck on our side!
Legendary Jackpot
Who says you could only hit the jackpot with that machine? Evidence of RBKD’s Heng-Heng Jackpot upon arrival at RapidKL (shown below).
At the ticketing machine…
P/S Lesson learnt: Heng-ness only comes once, dont be ‘greedy’. LoL!
So yup, when one is with good company and having lots of fun, time just flew past. 2D1N ended in just a blink of an eye and we are back in Singapore!

The train ride was fun. When it comes to squeezing 10 people into a group photo using the 自拍 way, I swear, it is super hard. Luckily we managed to, with a lot of laughter on the train of course. HAHAHA!
The “automated toilet” along the main road was interesting, it has a time limit of 15 minutes. Can you imagine? You are not done in the toilet and the door just slides open… HAHAHAHA!
The rides were fun especially the spinning ride… Hahaha! It was meant to be a “warm-up” for us before the roller coaster ride. I was sitting beside Jia Min and actually, the bigger size one was suppose to be sitting outside for obvious reasons which I realized only during the ride. HAHAHA!
No matter how you sit, you will just be squashing the person sitting on the outside. So throughout the ride, yes, I was squashing Jia Min. Hahaha! I tried ways to move back in but my legs started “flying” out of the car even though there is a sign just right in front of me to remind me not to have my arms and legs out of it. Haha!
The “hi-jacking” and prank calling session in Yamie’s room after lunch was hilarious! Since a few rooms were only ready, we decided to “hi-jack” her room. Haha! The few of us in the room decided to prank call Xin Yi but we took super long to prepare the script and also to “locate” her. Phyllis even called the wrong room and some China lady picked up the phone.
I got prank by our dear Joanne~ She really sounded like those lobby person so obviously I took it for real right. HAHAHA! The funnier part came only when more people came in. I will never forget the number 713. The whole room kept asking me to call 713 because that is the “number” to the front desk. All I know was that I kept pressing that number on the phone because I really thought that 713 was the number to the front desk.
The more I pressed the more everyone in the room were laughing. I was even complaining that the call could not go through. Only at dinner time which is 10 plus then did I realized the whole room were trying to make me call Xaby’s room (Xaby’s room was 713). HAHAHA! Why I found it funny? Because everyone in the room realized it except for me. Even Phyllis’s mum knew about it. HAHAHAHA!
Every single moment of this trip was fun filled with laughter.
Like what I have said in the forum, “我真的好久没有那么开心过了.”:)
What: Eat, Chat & Play at MINDS Cafe
When: 4th June 2011
Where: Boat Quay MINDS Cafe
Participant(s): Cami, Ethan, Eunice Ng, Joanne, Jolie, Jun Yee, Jun Qi, Kah Yin, Lionel, Regin, Sandy, Shu Wen, Wyman, Ying Mei and Yun Xian

Cami, Organiser:
“I am going to meet new friends” That was what I told my mother on the day of the outing. Well, this led to an endless tirade of nagging, including the danger of meeting new people from online. Of course, I proved her wrong when I returned home, looking and feeling great
Feeling both excited and anxious in meeting new people and establish new friendships. At the café, we still didn’t know much about each other. Yet, the games ‘loosened’ our muscles up such that we began chatting and all. It is also thanks to the ‘older’ members who helped to start conversations.
Unglamorous videos were taken during charades (of multiple people which I shan’t mention). Thanks to these daring people and the enthusiastic videographers (Kah Yin and Joanne), we shall have concrete evidence of this memorable outing!
All good things come to an end. All in all, the outing ended in a pleasant mood, with newly built friendships.
This first time organizing an outing provided an experience that is unforgettable. Thank you everyone for participating and thank you, Joanne, dearest partner!
–
Joanne, Co-organiser:
It was my first time co-organising an IPC. I was very new to this forum and I knew nobody. I am glad that I had decided to co-organise this IPC with Cami as it was really a great experience for me.
Before starting with the games, we did the traditional RBKD 1+3 introduction which Kah Yin explained to us. After which, we got down to serious business – the board gaming.
We played a total of 4 games in which 3 we played were acting games (helping to groom more talent for Singapore’s media industry haha) and there were many funny occasions, especially for one of the acting game.
I must admit that it was really awkward in the beginning as everyone was new to each other and haven’t “warmed up”. But I feel that it got better as we started to play more games and I’m glad to have made much more new friends that day. I really hoped that everyone enjoyed themselves that day and I’m definitely looking forward to much more IPCs in the future.

Jolie, Participant:
The day of the MINDS café IPC is also the day when I realized I was no longer the youngest in RBKD. On the way to the café, I told Regin, “We are like on some secondary school class outing, everyone are walking in 2 by 2!” At the café, we started off with the usual 3 + 1. A bit awkward but still it’s fun getting to know everyone. Playing Taboo was really funny seeing how everyone describing what they want us to say without saying the taboo word.
We started to play another game which is like charades but just a harder version of it. We only had about 15 seconds to do actions that let our team guess what we are acting. I guess after this game, we really know about the meaning of image thrown away!
Overall it was really very fun and I had enjoyed myself really well knowing a few more people like Cami, Joanne and a few others. It was a short meetup for old members and a bonding session for everyone! Hope everyone had fun!
–
Ethan, Participant:
It was my first time going for IPC with RBKD and it was a little bit ‘paiseh’ as I did not know much people then. But things started to get better when we started to introduce ourselves through 3+1.The people there were friendly, sociable and was easy to get along with. We played games such as Taboo, murderer…The atmosphere was cool as everyone was enjoying the games as well as happy laughing away. It was fun to get to know more new friends through this IPC and I believe that I will get to know more people through other upcoming IPCs.I sincerely thank the organizers for organizing this IPC and I look 4ward to other IPCs ahead.

What: Sing Your Heart Out!!
When: 28th May 2011
Where: Kbox @ SCAPE
Participant(s): Angela, Berlin, Candice, Elaine, Joanne, Kah Yin, Mandy and Zi Lei
–
Candice, Organiser:
KBOX session was really crazy!
Those little kids really make the place like their house. They also get crazy when they were singing Rui En’s song and make it sound like a concert. LOL. Another thing, we found The In Laws subtheme song. We had good food and drinks and a nice dinner after the session.
–
Elaine, Participant:
Kbox session was crazy!
The moment we went into our room, Candice and Berlin started screaming like mad while me and Zi Lei made ourselves at home. When Rui En’s song was being played, all of us went crazy and ignored Candice when she and the Kbox person came in to tell us that Hotdog is not available. LOL. After 4 hours of singing, we walked all the way to The Cathay to have our dinner together. It was very fun and I made new friends! ^^
–
Zi Lei, Participant:
It’s been almost a year since the last kbox IPC that I participated in, and again I am glad to meet new members and have a chance to interact with them. On the way to dinner and while we were eating dinner, we had time to chat with each other and bond as well. Looking forward to more singing IPCs!
