Club MAD!

Heard about the fan who willed her multi-million dollar fortune to Fann Wong? Just like RBKD isn’t a K-pop band and Jeanius isn’t a typo, there’s a lot more to local fan clubs that you probably didn’t know about.

Do you miss those fun orientation games you played as a freshman? Join a fan club, then. RBKD, Rui En’s formidable fan club, held an orientation ‘camp’ for its members and potential members at Sentosa in June. The full-day event saw over 60 Rui En-fanatics run amok on the island, play games that included an Amazing Race-inspired scavenger hunt, and put up skits related to Rui En and RBKD. Rui En was not there.

“This idea started two years ago when we realised that our members weren’t familiar with one another,” explains club president Peh Xinyi, 25. “It’s also a good way for potential members to learn about RBKD,” she adds. But if you think taking part in the orientation gets you a free pass into the club, think again. You have to make at least 30 relevant posts about Rui En on the club’s online forum before your membership is “approved”. RBKD, set up four years ago, currently has 111 members. “It’s not easy to join RBKD,” Xinyi warns us. “Only constructive comments count, and we have a moderator to look through the posts every month,” she adds sternly. The rules may be very stringent – it’s probably easier to apply for a housing loan – but it fits perfectly with Rui En’s no-nonsense attitude.

BRAVO to the thrilling new drama Poetic Justice (weeknights, Ch 8) revolving around the lives of a group of ambitious TV journos played by Rui En, Dai Yangtian and Rebecca Lim. While its depiction of how they go about gathering news is a tad too sensationalised to be taken seriously, it’s a minor gripe that’s quickly forgotten and forgiven, considering how fast-paced the story is. The cast’s spirited on-screen rapport helps, too.
