I was really looking forward to attending the fanmeet! Upon arriving at Thomson Plaza at the reporting time, quite a number of people were already seated in the barricaded area. As time passed, more people started to fill the area and I have to say, many people came down on that day wearing black to support Rui En.
When the casts appeared, that area (even at the higher levels of the shopping centre) broke into loud screams and shoutouts for the idols. During the talk about each character, we screamed out every time Dr Snow/Xueqing was mentioned and Christopher made a humorous remark about it. It was nice seeing Rui En making different facial expressions (especially when we waved to her) and laughing during the entire event.
Cheering with RBKD vs going alone/with friends is really different. With RBKD, everyone got to hold the different Rui En boards while cheering and it made me feel like I was part of something, and it feels greeeeattt! Although your own voice couldn’t be heard when cheering, but cheering together brings out a much bigger sound of support. It was such a memorable experience, really do hope to cheer and scream our hearts out for her, together again.

I decided that I would attend this roadshow because it was a weekend, and to go down to Singapore to support her, cheering and rooting for her together with Rangels, to me is always something that offers some excitement to my everyday life, and is always a privilege.
It was a pretty rushed trip as I touched down late on Friday night after work, slept a few hours and then headed to Thomson Plaza. Something interesting to note is, from queuing, preparing until the end of the event, what was constant throughout was the repeated playing of the theme song – for 4 hours the same music had been looping in my head…
The audience had a great time seeing the artistes in real person and got their signatures and of course, I also enjoyed myself screaming together with all of us for her! That is a good throat exercise once in a while I suppose :)
