“Yang Xiao Dong! Yang Xiao Dong! Yang Xiao Dong!â€
That’s our battle cry for the Stars Awards Show 1, where our dearest idol has two nominations, one of which is for the Favourite Female Character, Yang Xiao Dong in the drama serial Happy Family.
It being my first time to Mediacorp Studios, it was really an eye opener to a ‘skuaku’ (read country bumpkin) like me. Apart from being ‘surprised’ about the long walk to Caldecott Hill, I am surprised at how the whole show was being broadcasted and screened on national television. I have never seen so many stars before (except when I looked up at the night sky of Pulau Ubin. Then again, we are talking about different stars here.) Of course, the brightest star whom we are all looking out for has to be Rui En, the reason why we (RBKD) exist.
As the show progresses, when awards were given after awards, we start to feel really anxious about whether our devotion to online nomination for Rui En was sufficient. The time ticked by, getting nearer and nearer, and our fans starts to post on facebook and twitter calling and urging people who hasn’t voted to go online and do so to make our votes count and do our last for Rui En.
And finally, it’s time for the winner to be announced for the Favourite Female Character. Heartbeats raced, fist clenched, anxious of the results, and yet nervous about what would the outcome be. Will our efforts be vindicated? Will it be recognised?
When the presenter Chen Hanwei called for his ‘wife’, we were all delirious! Everyone went crazy and kept cheering, waving the billboards we brought along, showing off the prized possession – Happy Family Poster and screaming our lungs out! Finally, the time has come, for everyone of us to know that our hardwork has finally paid off and we managed to secure what we wanted for her, and recorded a breakthrough to be pen down in the history books of RBKD. (Only to be surpassed by another equally dazzling record in Show 2 – where we would see stars both figuratively and literally)
