We waited with bated breath to see if a new Favourite Female Character champion would be unveiled at this year’s Star Awards 2013 Show 1. After weeks of intense competition, the number one question on everyone’s minds was if Kimberly Chia would dethrone Rui En and upset the latter’s winning streak at the online polls.

Well, the result speaks for itself: Rui En’s still the undisputed online favourite, emerging numero uno amongst her peers to win the Favourite Female Character award for the third year running.

Dressed in a fiery red Christian Dior dress semi-cloaked by a black blazer, Rui En admitted that this year’s award felt “especially meaningful” as it was presented by Chen Liping, her friend and “partner” in showbiz. “I’m still not used to attending such functions so her presence eased things up a lot for me. It felt comfortable and it was nice to have a partner around,” she said.

Briefly touching on the intense voting between her onscreen character and Kimberly’s Don’t Stop Believin’ character, Rui En felt that it is necessary to have “newbies rise up to the occasion” in this industry.

Dedicating her third Favourite Female Character win to RBKD, her supportive fanclub, the self-proclaimed pessimist even revealed that she was “prepared to lose” her title this year.

“I was even prepared to speak to the media about it [the loss] too!” she laughed.

Never one to focus or base her work on awards, the Joys of Life star added, “What I’m worried about this time round is my fans. I know they’ve put in a lot of effort and dedication to this year’s online voting. I’m touched by their hard work and this time, I really feel happy for them [with this win].”

To top it off on an even sweeter note, Rui En brought home not one, but two trophies, having shared the Favourite Onscreen Couple award category with Elvin Ng in Unriddle 2.

Thanking fans for loving their onscreen pairing in their separate backstage interview with xinmsn, Elvin confessed, “I don’t know what kind of chemistry we have (laughs)).”

Laughing in agreement, Rui En chimed, “It’s hard to put down in words the kind of chemistry we have actually.”

With 2013 shaping up to be a busy year for both actors and no drama collaboration in sight yet, Rui En expressed her desire to work with Elvin soon. “This is like satisfying our fans ‘cos they like seeing us together as well. It is for them.”
