RBKD: An interesting article by Xinmsn which hopes to see Rui En attempting 6 different types of roles based on pre-existing characters from past dramas and movies. These roles include:
a) Dual roles of a wrongfully murdered ghost and her living daughter in Shadows in the Dark
Rui En has never attempted horror dramas and it would be refreshing to see her balancing these two roles.
b) Indie musician in Begin Again
It’s been quite some time a music drama has aired and this role is ideal for Rui En who had released two full music albums and a few singles in her career.
c) Top actress falling from grace in You Who Came from The Stars
Even though this character is similar to Zhang Ya Le in A Tale of 2 Cities but nature is different. It’d be fun to see Rui En play an aloof trend-setting fashionista with a caustic tongue for once.
d) Doctor in Good Doctor
It’s an occupation Rui En has yet to try onscreen.
e) Hockey Player in Pride
Perfectly suitable for Rui En as she herself is a true blue hockey player during her schooling days.
f) High School teacher in Gokusen
Rui En’s an influential personality in her own right (trended worldwide on Twitter a few times) and it would be interesting to see her as an inspirational school teacher.

Singapore Idol Taufik Batisah performed at the inaugural ABU (Asia-Pacific Broadcasting Union) Song Festival in South Korea earlier this month. The two-hour event which will be broadcasted in the different participating countries, aims to bring together and showcase international musical talents, transcending language and cultural background.
Currently busy with album preparations, the local singer shared that he listens to a wide genre of music, from popular rock to indie. But when it comes to his own composition, Taufik is sticking to pop music.
In July this year, Taufik released an English single Sky’s The Limit featuring fellow local artiste Rui En, which took the number one spot on 98.7FM Top 20 Countdown Chart for two consecutive weeks. It was a rare feat for a local song as the Chart is commonly dominated by international acts.

Taufik, 30, was in Seoul mid-October for the ABU TV Song Festival, a concert to go with Korea’s ABU Radio Song Festival, Asia’s version of the Eurovision Song Contest.
Upcoming
No word yet on whether there’ll be any cross-cultural collaboration for Taufik’s upcoming English album, which he’s currently working on.
His most recent single Sky’s The Limit, which also features the vocals of his fellow Hype Records artiste Rui En, stayed at the top of the charts on 987FM for two weeks.
