Jiamin, Secretary:
On day 2 of the event, Jean, Xinyi and I made a trip down to NEX hoping to collect more buns and sardines (the more the merrier since it is for good cause:D) We stood around for an hour at a corner and were really glad to see the public approaching us upon seeing our boxes and donating the items. The in-charge for the event noticed us and even offered us a carton of drinks! Unfortunately, we cannot accept it as it is not suitable for the elderly.
In the end, we managed to donate a total of 81 pieces of bread rolls and 81 cans of sardines to the Bishan Home.
This is not the first time we are doing charity but i always feel heartened that we are able to contribute to society in a way or another and delighted to see the happy faces of the elderly.

Xinyi, President:
I was pretty amused when I logged our donations in their booklet. The caretaker was complaining when I put “NA” for our address and contact, “No address again. Last time you all came to donate something before too right? Also no address. We have our reasons to ask for the address….” And so he continues. Like obedient students nagged by the teacher, we penned down our address eventually. Although we did not expect anything in return, receiving a letter of appreciation addressed to RBKD always seems to be especially encouraging. Keep it up everyone :)

RBKD was at NEX to purchase the stickmen tote bag designed by Rui En for the i-weekly 30th anniversary. It was a simple but creative design. As usual, we queued up very early and were the first in the queue again – the ethos of RBKD. Part of the proceeds went to the earthquake relief efforts in Japan. The buns and sardines in the tote bags were also collected voluntarily by us and donated to a charity home.
What came as a surprise was when the black official fan tee was unveiled by our FC President during the group photo taking. The long hours of waiting was worthwhile as all of us did something meaningful for charity. And needless to say, everyone was elated by just simply looking at our idol on the cover page of i-weekly #700 and reading about her story.

Jean, Priority Member:
When Xinyi first approached me for the photoshoot, I was hesitating but I thought since is for the club, why not. At the end of the day, it wasn’t me who took the photo so I was really relieved actually. I felt that I “bonded” with the grass in Marina Barrage so much, I can forget about my slippers whenever I am there in the future:) Haha! Though the grass at Marina Barrage isn’t the greenest in Singapore (after seeing the grass in Istana), it was still greener than the usual ones you see along the roads or other parks. So much sunshine there, how can it not be greener right? Hahaha!
The initial plan was just having the tees in the photo and due to the strong wind, we had to take out whatever that was thin and flat to place it under the tee to ensure that it doesn’t “move”. Cellphones, cardless wallet and a U-Weekly magazine. That was the things that can be found underneath the tee. Haha! We tried to do another style of shooting the tees and that was star jumping in it. Did I mention, when the three of us were doing star jumps on the grass, it was super funny since it was really hard to “synchronize” together. We were trying to concentrate on “synchronizing” on the star jumps that our faces was really serious before jumping. Haha! Need to concentrate on so many “things” that we forgotten what to do sometimes so what we did in the end, jumping non-stop. Hahaha!
Things to remember during the star jumps:
1. “Synchronize” the jumps ( Jump together~)
2. Look and smile at the camera
3. Hands up in the air
4. Ensure the space between the three of us are equal
That was what was going through my mind during the jumps. Haha!
We tried another style of shooting the tee on us and that was us sitting down on the grass but it wasn’t really a good thing since the bottom half of the tee was covered. While Xinyi was doing something to the camera, I tried to do my sit-and-reach. Not bad, at least I still can touch my toes, still quite flexible. Haha!
After that, we changed to another style of shooting the tee and that was us lying down on the grass. I can’t remember how long we lied down on the grass for all I can remember is that I was laughing all the way. HAHAHAHA! I can’t stop laughing and I don’t know why~ We were suppose to be relaxing and naturally smiling into the sky, with our eyes closed/opened (More or less forgotten). Reason why? Laughing too much. HAHAHA! I would not say I never tried to do the above mentioned but I really did try and I started laughing even harder. HAHAHAHA! I did try to control though. Haha! It was definitely a bad idea to let my arms be at the bottom of theirs since when I laugh, my arms starting “shaking”. “Chain reaction” I guess, Jiamin and Shirley started shaking and laughing at the same time? I think… Haha! I really didn’t mean to cause all of us to lie on the grass longer but it was just really funny. At least at the end of it, we managed to have a photo for the tee:)

IPC | Comments Off on Fan Tee Photoshoot @ Marina Barrage
Hi,
I’m a SG fan and I wish to let you guys know that you have done a tremendously great job in updating the website, your Facebook and Twitter account, and also the Youtube channel (and at such efficient rate! Just look at how fast the trailers for The In-Laws are uploaded on your Youtube channel after each episode!). It keeps fans (RBKD members and non-members) constantly updated about news on Rui En. ‘Good job’ or ‘Impressive’ is definitely an understatement. Thank you :) By the way, I was watching SA show 1 & 2 and your lung power really amazed me ha ha :D Really admire you guys for all that you have done for Rui En…Jia you! :)
