Results for the first week of online voting are out! Check out if your hot favourite made the list to last week’s voting

It’s been a week since online voting for Star Awards 2013 kicked off on February 21. Now, let us take a look at the nominees who are currently leading the pack and whose fans need to buck up!

Powered by xinmsn, the Online Voting Awards (Favourite Male Character, Favourite Female Character, Favourite Onscreen Couple, Favourite Host and BottomSlim Sexiest Legs) will be entirely determined by the public’s online votes.

Nominees for Favourite Female Award

Known for her supportive fanclub, Rui En (and her fans, RBKD) does not disappoint as she is currently in the lead for the Favourite Female category. Fellow MediaCorp Princess Felicia Chin is close behind while Rebecca Lim, who has been getting increasing exposure in the past year, is catching up at third position.

Nominees for Favourite Onscreen Couple Award

It seems like Rui En’s fans are facing a dilemma choosing between Hu Xiao Man and Xie Lang Feng (Unriddle 2) and Zhao Ming Xing and Han Yongyong (Joys of Life). Rui En’s coupling with these two actors for Favourite Onscreen Couple award is vying for the top spot at the moment.

That said, we’re still in the early weeks of competition so expect to see more exciting comebacks and changes made to the top 3 line-up in the upcoming weeks!

We have been blessed.

They say donating & volunteering are acts of giving, but actually, we are the ones who have gained.

My members shared with me how much they have enjoyed the volunteering experience, that they have learnt so much from the elderly and how they were so inspired by them too.

For myself, it must be the people and the little moments.

That moment,
when you see the CNY deco from us last year,
still proudly displayed on the elderly’s doors.

That moment,
when the elderly folks remember us as the anonymous group,
who have been visiting them with CNY goodies yearly.

Words can’t describe the immense sense of satisfaction.

And my lovely volunteers, what more can I say.

No one knew Rui En was joining,
not my members,
not Xinmsn.

No one knew Xinmsn was joining,
not my members,
not Rui En.

Only I do,
but still,
they all came,
and that says a lot about them.

Thank you for liking this birthday gift, and cake.
Thank you for joining us, and completing the meaning of this project.
Thank you for enjoying this volunteering experience, with us.
And thank you, for the chance to share our blessings.

We have been blessed.

.
On Behalf Of Rangels,
Xinyi

#8 Charity work: Start the New Year with a good deed

Instead of splashing out cash on visits to your nearest cinema or SISTIC outlet, take it from us and start the year on a good note with a charitable deed.

At the invitation of Rui En’s fanclub, RBKD, we took part in their annual charity drive two weekends ago – done in-lieu to celebrate their idol’s birthday and Chinese New Year. We had a hand in the entire process from packing the New Year goods and gift hampers to knocking on doors of old folks staying in single-room flats in Ang Mo Kio to distribute the packed goods and spread some festive cheer. Although we walked away from the experience with aching arms and calves, knowing that we’ve brightened a person’s day with our words and presence is in itself, far more fulfilling and rewarding. Sense of satisfaction: irreplaceable.

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.”

第17届亚洲电视大奖颁奖礼昨天在香格里拉举行，陈汉玮和郑斌辉两大本地阿哥，先后凭《星洲之夜》和《最火搭档2》入围“最佳男配角”岂料却败在台湾6岁小演员骆炫铭，让大家大跌眼镜。

这届颁奖礼第2大爆点，是因赶拍《警徽天职2》而无法出席的瑞恩，凭剧中爆裂演出赢得视后。瑞恩粉丝RBKD昨晚得知偶像得奖，91会员立即发起行善举动，每人各捐1元善款。

瑞恩今早受访时表示，对得视后感到很惊讶，也遗憾自己因拍戏无法出席颁奖礼。她说：“《最火搭档2》我拍得非常投入，甚至一度出现抑郁状况，这次得到认可觉得很高兴。很感谢主办者和评审。” 瑞恩笑说，开工拍戏时候会像个老人，尽量争取睡眠，因此宣布获奖时，她已累得呼呼大睡，结果早上才发现电话邮箱被恭贺简讯挤爆。

至于如何庆祝获奖，瑞恩说：“嗯，没怎么打算庆祝啦，因为演艺的路还很长，又很多需要进步的地方，但得奖确实是很大鼓励！”

The official fanclub of Rui En decided to donate S$1,120 to charity instead of putting the money on their idol who’s running for top honours in the online Star Awards 2013 polls

After months of fierce competition and relentless voting for the upcoming Star Awards 2013, Felicia Chin’s character (Du Siman from Don’t Stop Believin’) overtook Rui En (Hu Xiaoman from Unriddle 2) to clinch the top spot; both actress are running for nomination for next year’s Favourite Female Character award.

The official fanclub of Rui En, RBKD, could have dug deep into their pockets to push their idol back to her numero uno position in the Star Awards 2013 online polls. But instead of succumbing to “the system” and pumping money into what they term a “bottomless pit”, RBKD president Peh Xinyi shared with xinmsn that the fanclub have decided to donate S$1,120 to the Community Chest over the weekend. The lump sum of $1,000 could have bought them 10,000 votes, according to Xinyi.

Each voter can cast up to 10 free votes for each drama series at the online polls. Should a fan wish to bump their idol or favourite character further up the ranks, votes can be purchased from the Facebook app at an additional value of approximately S$10 (equivalent to 100 votes).

Over a phone interview with xinmsn, Xinyi shared her stance on the online polls and said, “At least the Top 10 phone polls take place once a year and that is fine. However, this time round the online polls take place continuously.

Viewers are allowed to vote their favourite drama characters into the polls during the drama’s telecast period and voting will end a week after the last episode is aired. The top 5 characters with the highest number of votes will be shortlisted for a final round of voting in the Star Awards 2013.

“The intention of the system is good as it empowers the viewers however some form of moderation needs to be enforced,” quipped Xinyi, who suggested that it might be feasible to introduce a cap on the votes in future, and added, “We’re not trying to go against it [the system] but we just feel that we have to take a stand and express our disappointment with it.”

It is understood that the fanclub has given their feedback. When xinmsn contacted Paul Chan, VP for Channel Branding & Promotions, he expressed that they have done a check on the statistics. “The total amount of free and earned votes cast so far is double that of purchased votes and you’ll really need a lot of fan support to be in the top 5.”

When xinmsn last spoke to Rui En at the imaging session for C.L.I.F. 2, the actress commented on the online voting saga between Felicity and RBKD.

The apologetic actress expressed, “I hope next year’s voting period will not be as long to better allow fans to concentrate on their studies. It will be better if it [voting period] was shortened.”

According to Channel 8’s most recent update, The top three actresses in the lead now are Rebecca Lim (Feng Luo Ling in Poetic Justice) with 44,098 votes, Felicia Chin (Du Si Man from Don’t Stop Believin’) with 40,441 votes and Rui En (Liu Yan Zhi from Poetic Justice) with 34,699 votes.

Dear True Fans / Readers

It has been brought to our attention that over the past months, there has been a surge in self-proclaimed fans whose behaviour and comments drew the irk of true fans and many others.

We do not know who they are nor be able to ascertain if their excessive fan-ish behaviour displayed automatically qualifies them as a true fan.

A true fan don’t stalk, a true fan don’t bad mouth other artistes, and a true fan certainly don’t do anything that will harm others’ perception of their idol.

We are in no way, associated with such self-proclaimed fans.

That’s not the RBKD style.

Members found guilty of exhibiting any of the above bad fan behaviour is in violation of society’s objects as listed in RBKD’s Constitution and may be expelled from the society.

Fans found guilty of exhibiting any of the above bad fan behaviour are not under RBKD’s purview.

However, RBKD takes a firm stand on this issue and will not tolerate any fan from tarnishing the image of Rui En, Rangels and other Rui En’s fans.

Hence, we will bar any fan found guilty of exhibiting any of the above bad fan behaviour from all our Social Media platforms (where possible) and place the fans on RBKD’s membership blacklist. RBKD’s committee decision is final and no notification is required from RBKD.

Be mindful of your behaviour and let’s all be value-adding fans

.
Regards
Xinyi
President
RBKD – The Official Fan Club of Rui En
