Local actress Rui En piled on thick make-up and donned four layers of clothing for a Chinese opera-singing scene for The Journey: Our Homeland.
The 34-year-old described her image overhaul as “scary”, adding that “it’s not something I would like to see again.”
In the drama, Rui En plays a junior nurse whose mother is an opera singer. In one scene, her mum cannot perform so she takes over for the day.
Rui En recalled: “We filmed for two days and by the time I took off the layers of clothes, the first layer was all drenched in sweat. It was as if I had just showered.”
She added: “It was a nightmare trying to remove the make-up – my skin felt so irritated.”
Ever the perfectionist, Rui En went even further.
“I took four singing lessons to learn how to sing opera songs and also requested to record the songs on my own,” said the actress, who is filming another Channel 8 blockbuster series, The Dream Makers 2.
But the dream role she would really want to snag is one in a superhero movie.
The self-confessed geek said: “I grew up reading and collecting comics and I am always excited whenever a new Marvel superhero is out.”
So what kind of superpower would she want to have?
“Invisibility. People can be very different when they are on their own and I want to see them in that state.”

Local TV audiences like to pit Rui En against Jeanette Aw.
Both are top actresses on Channel 8, both are immensely popular and have rabid fan bases, both are signed to artist management company Hype Records, and let’s face it, the contrast between the two is stark.
In The Dream Makers 2, the pair reprise their roles as love rivals – their characters were both romantically linked to Qi Yuwu in The Dream Makers and in The Dream Makers 2, Rui En and Qi are a couple.
So we simply had to ask them about their never-ending perceive rivalry.
Their replies? There is nothing to be rivalrous about.
“Off-screen (the dynamic between us) is definitely not dramatic at all,” said Aw.
“We’re just very professional actors who play our parts in our dramas to the best we can.”
Don’t think too much
Rui En said with a sigh: “We’re from the same company, that’s probably how this all started. Don’t need to think so much, it’s not as exciting as what you see in a drama.
“I know (the perceived rivalry) would make a good narrative for the media, but the fact of the matter is, we’re both very different and I believe we are just doing our work.”
On the topic of her role, she said: “Our characters start off in The Dream Makers 2 as best friends…despite the fact that her character betrayed me in the first season. That is the most endearing part of my character, she’s so forgiving.”

The Star Awards is arguably one of the more popular award ceremonies in Singapore.
So I have no idea why these stars seem to be competing for a spot on the worst-dressed list (There is more than enough space for everyone, trust me).
If my pajamas with leopard prints is looking better than some of your outfits, you really do have to rethink your life decisions.
From garish colours to “preenz” that make me long for Ris Low’s fashion sense , the Star Awards Show 2 was a sartorial mess.
I suddenly found myself wondering if Halloween was around the corner or if it was a very belated April Fool’s joke. Sadly, it was neither.
Let’s have a look at the best dressed (which is a really short list of just two people) and the worst dressed.
Best Dressed
She definitely shut up all her critics who lambasted her “black face” at the ceremony last week.
Her make-up is on point – and her dress is flashy without being trashy, which appears to be the theme here.

Local actress Rui En, who made headlines last week for sulking throughout the entire Show 1, sang a different tune last night.
The 34-year-old, who was all smiles last night, addressed the issue while on stage to receive her Top 10 Most Popular Female Artist award.
She said in Mandarin: “I know many people were discussing my performance during the show last week. I want to say that if it brought about inconvenience to anyone, I hope that you can accept and tolerate it.
“This is not my strength, but thank you everyone. I will work harder.”
Rebecca Lim, who won Best Actress said : “I thought Rui En would win Best Actress instead. I think I won because maybe it’s a lighter comedy role and judges saw a different side of me.”

Actress Rui En received a lot of flack for sporting a black face throughout the entire Star Awards ceremony last weekend.
And personally, I’m not faulting her.
The basic truth is that she has a bitchy resting face, which is something you can’t help.
And that is much more preferable to faking smiles and hugs anyway.
So I wouldn’t give her too much flack for it.
And while Rui En may be the more popular personality who has been diagnosed with the syndrome, she certainly isn’t the only one.
She also has counterparts in Hollywood – and most of them are successful.
So to Rui En, I say: “You go girl. You do you.”
Here are seven other people with bitch resting face syndrome.
Kristen Stewart
When Kristen Stewart first exploded onto Hollywood with Twilight, she almost exclusively wore this expression in the movies and in press tours.
She has cracked a few smiles over the last two years – but that bitchy resting face still prevails.
Kanye West
Whether he’s with his wife Kim Kardashian, or his daughter North West or interrupting winners at award shows, it’s always this expression that we are met with.
Sure, he’s probably thinking of who else to humiliate, but more often that not, this is his natural bitchy resting face.
Victoria Beckham
Sometimes, it may seem like Victoria Beckham might be physically hurt if she cracks a big old smile. But really, she’s a happy and successful designer, wife and mother.
We’re sure she would smile about it if she could.
Rooney Mara
The girl with the dragon tattoo might as well be the dragon – she just looks fierce. But again, it’s not her fault.
Jay Z
One of the richest musicians on the planet, he has a lot to be happy about. I mean, his wife is Beyonce.
Here he is trying to ditch that resting bitch face, but sorry Jay, try harder. You just look confused.
Grumpy Cat
If only everyone could be rich and famous for being born with the bitchy resting face. But we all can’t be like Grumpy Cat – who now has his own movie.

Rui En’s icy stare
Who wouldn’t love to have Rui En’s icy stare for the times where people just do anything and everything possible to annoy you on the train?
With that look, I’m sure no one would even dare to lean their entire bodies against the pole in the MRT.
