Nanyang Outstanding Young Alumni Award Recipient (2007)
南洋杰出青年校友奖获奖者

~Ms Lu Rui En 卢瑞恩小姐~

One of the most recognisable faces on the local entertainment scene, Ms Lu Rui En’s career as an artiste literally rose to meteoric heights in 2001 after she appeared in a popular SingTel hi!Card commercial as the iconic “running girl”. She was barely out of junior college then but managed to balance her burgeoning career with studying for a Bachelor of Business degree at the Nanyang Technological University till her graduation in 2004. To the industry experts at Artiste Networks, her potential was apparent from that very first advertisement. They signed her up and in 2002 she released her debut album. Featuring a variety of musical genres from Rock to R&B, it revealed a mature and powerful singing voice.

Starring in Taiwanese superstar Jay Chou’s music video, “Secret Code”, Rui En quickly moved to add acting to her list of pursuits. In the five years since, she has starred in over 10 MediaCorp drama series and won two Star Awards while continuing to perform at concerts for the Nanyang Technological University, Community Chest and the President’s Star Charity Shows. In 2005, her place in the public eye was cemented when she was chosen to sing the National Day song, “Reach Out for the Skies”. Asked to reflect on her career so far, the multi-talented beauty concluded that she loves both acting and singing. But with a track record like hers, it is anybody’s guess what she will surprise us with next.

If you recall, local actress Rui En is also a singer who released her debut album “Rui En Vol.1” in 2002 with the hit single Bai Se Yu Mao. She rendered the song with a strong vocal just like her personality is. Having spent a few years fronting the camera, she is returning to the studio and the microphone, expressing her truest self through her songs.

In her new album, eight songs are penned by her; in which there are songs on her perception of love and relationships, attitude towards Singaporeans and also thoughts on travel. She laughs and comments that her varied themes were a result of the unclear and indefinite direction she had and basically wrote anything which popped to her mind. Rui En has been known to be reserved about sharing her personal life through the media so perhaps this album contains the most candid answers you may want about her.

Being English educated, writing Chinese lyrics is a great challenge for her. There were many thoughts to tell and emotions to express, but the initial words she penned do not reflect her actual thoughts. Describing the process seemed to have brought her back to relive the painful history. Fortunately, she managed to deliver what she wants in the end.

Despite these great efforts, Rui En has never thought of getting an award as recognition for her hard work. She says she does not pine for any awards; be it the Star Awards or the Hit Awards. To put in the best for her current jobs and taking things within her stride is what matters to her. She expresses satisfaction with her singing performance in ending theme song for drama “By My Side” as she spots a confident smile.

Rui En’s second album is scheduled to be released in November, when she will have to manage the promotional events and filming of a new drama. On the hectic schedule, she says: I’ll take it step by step.

记得若干年前芮恩出过唱片《白色羽毛》，还记得这个女生个性的演绎，声音就像她的性格一样有一点倔强。之后拍戏，参加综艺活动，面对媒体，几年之后再次选择站在麦克风前，用唱歌来表达自己。也许歌中的她才是最真实的她，为此她尝试自己写词。

芮恩说这张唱片的8首歌都由她自己写词，有她对爱情的认识，也写她对新加坡人的态度甚至还有对旅行的看法。这么多主题？她笑说自己没有确定的音乐路线，想到了就去写。搜索媒体笔下的她，对她的报道和记录比同期女艺人少了许多，也许那是因为她不善于跟媒体去分享最深层的自己，不过所有好奇应该都可以从这张专辑中找得到答案。

从小接受英文教育，现在用华语写词变成一大挑战。刚开始提笔心里有好多话想说，情感也是满满的，可是写过之后再去看，却发现没有表达出她原有的想法。“真的很难”说话间芮恩好像又把那段日子过了一遍，闭着眼睛摇头。不过最后她还是做到了，呈现在自己面前的唱片起码做到了是她想要的。

有没有想过也去拼一下本地金曲奖。芮恩马上否定了，她说自己不是那种很渴望这些东西的人，什么红星大奖或者金曲奖，她都没有想过。做好自己现在在做的事，一步一步走好眼前的路才是最重要的。很显然她十分满意自己在歌唱方面的表现，在提到自己在《不凡的爱》中演唱插曲，她露出了自信又开心的笑容。

芮恩将在11月出唱片，她说接下来可能会很累，因为有新戏要拍，同时还要做唱片的宣传。不过她还是那句说了好几次的话：一步一步来吧。
