Remembering Big Brother

By Jonathan Fam, Sarah Chang & Tan Yi Hui

In the eyes of his showbiz peers, Huang Wenyong was a father, a brother, an aspiring pop idol, a comedian, a walking encyclopaedia, and then some. Sixteen stars share with us their personal memories of the man everyone called Wenyong da ge (big brother).

Rui En: “He always told us about the best hawker food in Singapore wherever we were filming. He was like a one-man hawker expert.”

Stormy Starry night

How do you throw a party for the family when your big brother just died? You don’t. Which why was bright outfit were toned down, the madcap skits were a pale shadow of last year’s ROMFL version, and a sense of solemnity pervaded the night. But there were still gems to be found in the subdued evening. Bryan Wong picked on someone not his own size, many a host was roasted in the making of this show, and ice queen Rui En actually flashed more teeth than new couple QiPeh. All in all, we were still left wanting.

So what is Elvin implying?

Rui En, who also won the Favourite Female Character award, admits it’s a mystery why everyone likes seeing her and Elvin Ng together…on TV. The duo won Favourite On-screen couple again this year. A cheeky Elvin announced backstage, much to the horror of his co-star: “Since everyone likes seeing us together, Rui En and I also have an announcement to make…Just kidding lah!” Did we mention that Rui En looked horrified?

Wore & Please

You don’t have to do to a designer boutique to find a Star Awards outfit.

Rui En, B+

Next year, maybe she’ll try short and sassy?

For someone who used to wear only black, second-time Best Actress winner Rui En has been going on a colour explosion the past two weeks, donning a siren-red dress (for Show 1) and this deep purple gown, both from Christian Dior. “It was an intentional effort to add more colours in my outfit this year,” she tells us. Is it mean to say we were quite amused by how she seemed to be wrestling with the big tulle the whole night?
