Xinyi, Club President cum Organiser:

It could have been an unfeeling routine, thankfully it was not.

Shall we do Charity again for Rui En’s Birthday Gift this year?
What would we like if we were them?
Are the snacks soft enough for them to eat?
Are the cookies/tarts we bake too sweet or buttery?
Would they be happy if someone decorates their place for them?
Can we try to be less efficient, to slow down and spend some time to talk to them?

Can we, shall we, should we, might they? You get the drift.

Organising this is as always, an enjoyable challenge for me.

Many thanks to my members who donated in kind, in cash, and volunteered to bake and in the door-to-door distribution, you guys so made this a success. Remember what we always advocate in RBKD, that it’s not a matter of what you have, but rather, what you wish to give. It is to walk the talk, to have the heart to contribute to our community, and to act upon it.

Community involvement is a large part of us in RBKD and I hope this spirit continues.

Stay sincere and true, you guys have done great!

Ying Mei, Participant:

This was the first time I participated in such a charity event apart from school CIP work.

It was a really fun and enriching experience for me.

Being the station master was refreshing as I’ve never tried anything like that. It was fun helping out to ensure that the distribution of goodie bags went on smoothly, and everyone had their fair share of visiting the residents. As one of the visiting participants, I felt that it was very rewarding. It definitely brought us happiness to see the residents’ smiles and their constant “thank you” for the CNY goodies, to know that we helped them welcome CNY like us too.

Everyone had the chance to play a part in making this CNY enjoyable for the residents (even for the non-chinese residents) and I definitely enjoyed myself during the activity. The whole block was filled with our laughter and chatting :P It was also the first lo-hei session I had with RBKD and it was awesome! :D I look forward to the next volunteer/charity activity with RBKD! ^^

Phyllis, Participant:

I have volunteered with RBKD for quite a number of times. However, to me, every volunteering opportunity is a new learning experience. This time, I have learnt that as long as you are willing to put your heart and soul into doing something, you can create a difference.

For instance, during the packaging of the goodie bags everyone knew what they were supposed to do and this ensured that the the packaging process could be carried out smoothly. When we were going around for the door to door distribution, even first timers at volunteering tried their best to interact with the residents so that it would not just be merely a door to door goodie bag distribution kind of thing.

It was also an unique experience for me because I got to volunteer with my mother. This gave her a chance to understand that RBKD is not an ordinary fan club but instead we go the extra mile to help those who might need our help.

I’m glad that we created a little difference this festive season.
May this spirit of giving be kept alive and burning :)

Phyllis’ Mother, Participant:

In the past, I used to be actively involved in community work. After such a long break from it, I am glad to have the opportunity to be involved in such a meaningful activity again.It is definitely heart warming to see young people giving back to the society by helping the less fortunate.

Throughout the event, be it during the packaging of the goodie bags or during the door to door distribution, everyone was actively involved. I could see everyone trying their best to help each other so that the whole event could be carried out smoothly. The energy and enthusiasm of the members certainly wowed me!

“Remember there’s no such thing as a small act of kindness. Every act creates a ripple with no logical end.” Keep it up everyone!

Let’s take a peak into the baking process of the cookies …

A wide smile on all our face as we sent the last tray into the oven =)

Vanessa Tan, Priority Member:

Had an awesome time at the chalet! :)  I really enjoyed myself during the 2 days there.

It was great spending the time with the fanclub, getting to know more people. Sitting around, playing card games with a few others. I loved the two cakes Rui En sent!! Especially the cheesecake!! <3 I am glad to have spent my weekend with RBKD.

Let’s blow the candles as ONE!

Many thanks to the committee for organizing such a wonderful activity for us. For us to have fun and bond with each other. I know that a lot of planning had to be done, THANKS again for everything. :)

And once again, Happy Birthday RBKD :)

Weijen, Ordinary Member:

I am grateful, especially to our president, for the chance to attend the birthday chalet of RBKD, the significant 3rd year where we first celebrate as a registered society.

This is the 1st time I meet up with fellow Rangels. I had been anticipating it and upon touching down in Singapore, Phyllis was there to pick me up. (Thanks to Phyllis’s dad for driving us to the chalet! )

The 1st thing we did at the chalet was spring-cleaning. Everybody worked together to scrub the floor with rags and clean up the place. Yeah I felt like working in a team. It took about 3 hours before we settled down for dinner.

BBQ on the second night! This is the highlight of the chalet! The climax comes when we yamseng and sang the birthday song for RBKD, oh this is the 1st time I was eating a cake by scooping, a unique way of eating cakes by Rangels, this embodies our togetherness.=) BTW I found it amusing that as the cake was passed to me (I was the last) everyone had scooped the portion around RE’s message on the cake, nobody 舍得 to eat her message right? Thank you RE for the cake!

BBQ time!!!

Then our president made a long speech. I love this moment, and cherish too, it definitely ranks among my favourite moments of the chalet. Yanling, Jean and Phyllis presented the ‘I Love RBKD’ card to us after the speech, it was hilarious watching them, there was laughter everywhere and the atmosphere was nice.

Had a cosy and long chat with some Rangels until middle of the night before going to bed. That was a great opportunity to know Rangels better and enjoyed spending time with each other. After all, the best moment and thing to do of staying overnight with friends is to talk through the night without sleep (but all were struggling to stay up till the next morning XD)

Overall I can’t thank everyone enough for making me feel welcomed in this big family. Thank you RBKD committee for making this chalet possible, this is a memorable experience that I hope to relive and I will wait for you guys here in Penang for the famed durian season! =)

Bus-ed back to chalet from Dramatasy :)


Cheers :D

Where: Sentosa

Jasmine, Organiser:

It’s holidays but there ain’t alot of IPCs going on, so i decided to organise one instead! Well, i would not say this is the best IPC, but i would assure you we had lots of fun which words could not express them all. I was so thankful that it didn’t rain as it rained almost everyday this month.

We started off with the usual 3+1 introduction though we already knew each other. For water activities, we came up with different games like answering questions about Rui En and 接龙. Then we explored other parts of Sentosa and laughters accompanied us along.

Words can’t express the fun we had and i believed everyone enjoyed themselves tremendously. Looking forward to the next IPC organised! :D

–

Sandra, Participant:

Somehow it didn’t rain today probably because we Rangels are out to play ! >)
From volleyball to all sorts of ball games, with the soft ball, we filled the Palawan Beach with endless laughters.

Along the way of exploring Sentosa, we joked from the littlest thing to another hahahha… We walked, talked, took pictures, laughed (non-stop), ate and eventually ended up in the Sky-park in VivoCity where we decided to make a lil’ gift to show our love for RBKD:) And our inspiration’s YanLing, Jean and Phyllis’s ‘man-made letters’ which spells,” I Love RBKD “.

It sure was tiring BUT fun (!) to make those letters!
This short write-up might not be able to express the fun we had but on the whole, what matters is that we’d enjoyed ourselves and definitely look forward to the next.

Jun Yee, Priority Member:

The night before Dramatasy, I went to queue overnight with some of the Rangels. We set off from the RBKD chalet @ Pasir Ris. After we settled down, we began to do some cards for the public. I was so tired that my handwriting got from bad to worse. So I felt really glad after I have completed writing my cards.

Then started my cool cool experience of hanging out late in a shopping mall :D It was a totally new experience. We got to walk around the mall after midnight and sleep there as well. I found it kinda fun to be able to sleep in a shopping mall. After all, not everyone has the opportunity to do so right?

During the event, it was very squeezy. But it did not stop us from SCREAMING AND SHOUTING! I was quite energetic despite the few hours of sleep and I have learnt that the lesser I sleep, the “high-er” I am! :D I’m also glad to have the chance to see many people during the event and laugh at all the jokes the hosts cracked.. haha! so funny can!! We were very enthusiastic lorhs! I love the cheers we shouted as well..

Squeen, Priority Member:

自从进RBKD， 那么久以来，我还真的是第一次去这样的活动，原本不想去的，可是，我也好像是喊最大声的，哈哈，我的感觉就是一个粉丝团的呈现，背后那么多努力，也因为这个团体，看到的不只是一个粉丝团，态度和行为也直接会影响这个偶像在其他人眼中的印象，这是相对的影响，我很开心能参加这次的活动，对我而言，也明白你们的辛劳，谢谢你们的付出。

–

ZhiQing, Fan:

On the 19th of November, I joined RBKD for the Dramatasy event. A few rangels approached me and asked me if I want to join them for breakfast even though we don’t know each other. So nice of them:) Before the event starts, everyone was doing their part, trying to make things perfect. When the clock struck two, everyone was getting very very excited, especially peeps like me who was going to see Rui En for the very first time!

It was really an eye opener to me, as I didn’t know peeps from all parts of Singapore, and even Malaysia, can gather together as one! Prolly that was what the ONE RBKD spirit means! :) Thank you Rui En and RBKD for filling my day with full of fun and laughters!:)

My name is …. and I am ….

My name is Jolie. I am a student at Clementi Town Secondary School, just taken my N and O levels and currently also working as a part time retail assistant.

Me and RBKD:

I only knew of RBKD after watching By My Side which is also my favourite mediacorp drama to date. I used to look down on people who were in fanclubs as I find them a waste of time and I really did not expect myself to join one. So I always believe karma is true. The unexpected is always those that comes true.

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

a) The pyjamas night during the Annual Summer Chalet in 2009. Even in daily life, I never had the habit to even wear pyjamas when I sleep so when president wanted to have this, my mind was only thinking, “Where the hell do I get pyjamas?” I went on a crazy search for it and I could never forget it.

b) Countdown to RBKD’s second birthday. I will never forget how much whipped cream was prepared for us. It’s never a good thing when you see the committee members gathering together and smiling slyly.

2) I have learnt in RBKD that……..

RBKD is not just a simple fanclub who chase after Rui En only but also volunteers their time and celebrate by themselves for no special reason.

3) My favourite IPC is …… because …….

The Kite flying IPC! I have always love kite flying but my friends are forever not going with me and when someone wanted to organise it, I was so excited for it! The IPC was considered a meetup for old members and also for us to get to know each other. It might have been awkward but I bet everyone enjoyed themselves!

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

Everyone’s all hyped up and ready for star awards! During this period of time actually most of us were having common test, exams and yet in the bus, some of us managed to study and play. Who says that being in a fanclub is a waste of time? We study too! We always put our exams at priority!

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

Actually I would like a IPC that just requires people to sit down and talk, play, eat and do whatever they want as long as they do it together. A group of people who are really awkward in the beginning ending up being the closest of friends ever.

6) Words/pic to share with RBKD :

“只要不放弃，就会有奇迹!”
This sentence might be old but it always help me when I’m very stress.

We have no control over how long we have in the world, but we always have the choice on how to spend the whatever time we have.

My name is …. and I am ….

My name is Jean; currently studying in Temasek Polytechnic.

Me and RBKD:

Joined RBKD in 2008 and I guess that was how everything started :)

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

Board-making sessions.

Weekends can be burnt just for board-making but the end result just seems so fulfilling with a sense of achievement though time-consuming.

I guess I can never forget the process of the blue & green boards when I had to draw a letter “R” out which was sort of disastrous since it was my first time doing it and the markings were so messed up till the extent of even I myself could not tell which point to meet which point. Haha! (Above photo as prove).

What I learnt about board-making in RBKD? Precision and mathematical skills are an “essential”. Hahaha!

2) I have learnt in RBKD that……..

-With perseverance and diligence, nothing is impossible.

-One can’t always be on the receiving end.

3) My favourite IPC is …… because …….

Pulau Ubin Hike & Bike

Cycling in Pulau Ubin = More “kick” = More than the usual muscle aches you get from cycling in Singapore.

First time to Pulau Ubin and it was with RBKD. It was just filled with so much laughter even though at the end of the day, those who cycled, suffered from serious muscle ache. Haha!

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

Self-thought caption: “HAHAHAHAHA!”

Everyone just seems happy:)

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

All about food = Buffet/Food trail around Singapore! :D

P/S: For this, I don’t mind eating after 8PM:) HAHAHA!

We’re a really long way from the days when I wasn’t even sure there would be a fan club around in a couple years time.

Thank you for always having my back.

Happy Birthday!

It’s been another year again, amazing isn’t it?

We have gained much again this year. Newly forged friendships, new expeditions, new trophies, newly attained registered society status and so on so forth.

But the best of it all is the ONERBKD spirit that has been embraced to a whole new level.

The spirit of ONERBKD when we motivated each other, to have the discipline and perseverance to vote daily for 2 whole months;

The spirit of ONERBKD when we wore our club tees with such pride and belonging, the words shined in the dark;

The spirit of ONERBKD when we cheered in unison, like ants coming together to become a giant, no one could have missed us;

The spirit of ONERBKD when Rangels came together, to declare their love by petitioning for the I ♥ RBKD Tee;

And lastly, the spirit of ONERBKD when each one of you stepped forth to show us what love is. Whether it is your contribution to the dream or trust, your post to cheer her up or a simple gesture to let everyone know that we are not alone, love is as what Rangels have shown.

I can go on and on about our ONERBKD spirit, but these words do little to tell the tales of the Rangels who have lived and influenced the spirit.

Today we celebrate not just the gifts we have received, but also to express our gratitude for the chance to be here together as one again.

Cheers to traversing the road less traveled again, and may lux veritas continue to stay with us.

Happy Birthday.

Hey RBKD!!!

We are already 3 years old! Woohoo!

This year is especially tough for us but we worked hard, stay united fighting for a common goal and our efforts paid off! =)

However, all work and no play makes RBKD a dull FC. So many thanks to those Rangels who organised/participated in our first orientation and also the ever engaging, fun-filled IPCs!

Thank you for adding colours to my life =)
Thank you for showing me what is ONERBKD spirit!

Cheers to many more great years ahead! =D
