Babe, me?

She may have been calm and cool about her nomination, but her second Babe Of The Year win – with a record-breaking 6,405 votes – made actress Rui En “flabbergasted”.

In an email to The New Paper, the 31-year old said she was “bewildered” when she first heard the news about how many votes she had received this year.

She beat Jeanette Aw, who received 804 votes, and YouTube star Munah Bagharib, who received 183 votes.

“My fans… I have no words for how incredibly committed they are,” she said.

“Truly, any and all awards actually belong to RBKD, all my fans and them alone.”

RBKD, the moniker for Rui En’s fan club, was also responsible for her first Flame Awards trophy, also for Babe Of The Year, back in early 2009.

Then, she was up against this year’s nominee, Jeanette Aw, as well as Joanne Peh, both of whom had shined in blockbuster drama The Little Nyonya.

She had also been nonchalant about her chances then, saying it would be “The Little Nyonya year”.

Up against Aw again this year, as well as hot newcomer Munah Bagharib, Rui En declined to talk about her chances.

Now that she has won again, she is somewhat amused.

“I really am the sort to head down to the kopi tiam in shorts and slippers. Highly un-babe-like…” she said.

She had a few stern words for The New Paper about the title, too.

“I…have to be honest. Babe is really not one of the most favourite words of mine. To me, ‘babe’ means swaddled in pastel blankets and also had a lot of very strong Christmas connotations,” she said.

All right, we hear you. A name change may be in order. Who are we to argue with someone who has had such a great year in showbiz?

Her Babe Of The Year win caps a year of trophies, including Favourite Female Character at the Star Awards for her role in A Tale of 2 Cities, and Best Actress at the recent Asian Television Awards for her role in Unriddle 2.

All, one must note, without seemingly overly eager and overexposed or the opposite of completely catty or cold.

It is her refreshing “real-ness” that endears her to her fans, who “stretched” themselves this year to make sure she took home the Babe Of The Year title again.

RBKD fan club president Peh Xin Yi, 25 told The New Paper that this year, they heeded Rui En’s advice to “vote within their means”, but they strategised to ensure their idol would emerge tops.

“Our fan club has more than 90 members, but we posted about the Babe Of The Year voting through Facebook (where Rui En has more than 116,000 fans) and Twitter,” said the club president.

“We had one member who wanted to set aside $100 to vote for her (each SMS costs 20 cents), but we stopped her as we don’t believe in having one person vote excessively.

“That’s why we promoted it online.

“Flame Awards was one of the first we got for her (RBKD was formed in Nov 2008).

“It’s a great way to end the year.”

So many people ask me why I do what I do.

So many don’t understand why I wouldn’t wanna pursue “greater” ie. more lucrative, interests.

Sure, here in Caldecott, we’re a long way from Hollywood and Beijing.

But. Have you listened to the piece of music from Cloud Atlas?

Have you watched Life of Pi or Perks of Being a Wallflower?

Can you comprehend how a line of a song or dialogue can change someone’s life forever?

Why I do this? Because I believe. In how music and cinema can change your life. Can leave you feeling a sort of disorientation that lasts for days.

Can leave you feeling human.

Whether Hollywood or Channel 8.

This. Is why I do what I do.

En.

瑞恩今年雄霸多部重头新加坡电视剧的女主角地位，同时，在《亚洲电视大奖》中更获得’最佳女主角’的头衔，成为亚 洲视后。

瑞恩正如她的粉丝会名称一样’瑞（锐）不可当’，今年是唯一在3部重头电视剧担当女主角的演员：《最火搭档2》的胡小曼、《花样人间》的韩咏咏、以及《微笑正义》的刘言之，宜古宜今，是一位百变的艺人。

至于明年的《红星大奖》能否脱颖而出，获得’最佳女主角’，就要看评审的眼光。

至于能否透过网络投选而获得’最喜爱女角色’，就要看网民的投选。

Well, I must say it’s definitely the wedding season lately~

From the wedding of Elvin & Julie, it’s Li Nan Xing(李南星)& Rui En’s(瑞恩)turn to walk down the aisle! It seems like the main leads in C.L.I.F. 2 will be having happy endings in this drama .

As the year is coming to an end, so is the filming for C.L.I.F. 2~

The cast gathered at Chijmes Church to give their blessings to Wei Lan Tian(魏蓝天)& Huang Zi Jie (黄芷婕).

The wedding scene is mainly in white~ as the bride and groom enters, the team of police officers stands at both side of the aisle holding up the swords, making it a solemn yet romantic scenario. Don’t belittle these policemen, because they’re the real deal! There is a senior officer commanding them~

Gorgeous and elegant bride!

The bridesmaid and bridegroom are none other than C.L.I.F.1’s main leads, Joanne Peh (白薇秀)& Qi Yu Wu (戚玉武)~

Li Nan Xing took up the role of the Head of Forensic Management Division Lan Tian Wei(魏蓝天), along with Rui En(瑞恩), the Senior Investigation Officer Huang Zhi jie(黄芷婕), cracked many cases together. How do best partners fall in love with each other? You will have to stay tune to find out more!

The groom lifts up the veil on the bride, and plants a sweet kiss on her cheek !

This short romantic moment actually takes about 7 – 8 times of filming before appearing on TV for 5 seconds!

It may seem nice on TV, but in reality, walking down the aisle 6 times, kissing the bride 8 times?! Do you still think it’s romantic?

The filming is coming to an end~ Take more pictures to commemorate~

The cases in C.L.I.F. 2 are all cases that happened in real life, so the way they are presented will be similar to those in C.L.I.F. 1 ! The production crew will still be working closely with the Police Force, presenting the most factual side of each case!

See how law enforcers join forces to execute their tasks. See how police officers, on top of valiantly confronting criminals and overcoming various obstacles, reveal their true feelings when faced with the challenges of love, friendship and kinship.

C.L.I.F.= Courage、Loyalty、Integrity、Fairness

C.L.I.F 2 警徽天职 2 debuts 18 February 2013 9pm on Channel 8.
