“This is a police event, don’t try do anything funny!”
The sentence above (or something along that line) is something I heard about 2-3 times during the event. Haha.
Like almost all other events, RBKD was there early. So while waiting, we were all either eating/talking/resting/doing homework/reading/walking around/looking at rehearsals/staring into space.
Goodie bags were up for grab and to get a goodie bag, we had to find out what ‘COP’ and ‘COPS’ means and explain them to the officers. Haha. FYI, COP = Citizens on Patrol, whereas COPS = Community Policing System.
Then came the appearance of Rui En! *scream* *wave boards* The next moment, Rui En and the other artistes were all surrounded by residents and fans! BUT since it’s a police event they were pretty safe even though there was a huge crowd near them. When C.L.I.F. 2 clip was played, we were all cheering whenever Zhi Jie appeared on the screen! :D Even the emcee was teasing us after that – “some of you were waiting for the appearance of some character YAYYYYY!†Hahaha.
The event ended off with some of us going for a photo-taking session with the C.L.I.F 2 artistes!

This is the second time that I have participated in a roadshow with RBKD (first time being Joys of Life Roadshow) but it was rather different this time.This road show was in conjunction with the launch of Punggol Neighbourhood Police Centre.
It was quite an experience looking through all the exhibits at the roadshow. For those who have joined the event would probably have learnt one to two knowledge about keeping your own neighbourhood safe or even learnt how to maintain a good relationship with your neighbours.
The biggest difference between these 2 roadshows was that I have known more Rangels and thus explained more interactions. I still remembered during the last roadshow, though I was sitting with RBKD, I was not really talking as I did not know many of them. But now that I have known more of them through the IPCs, I had lotsa of interactions and fun. We joked around while waiting for the launch of the event. Really glad to be part of RBKD to go for the event and am looking forward for more of these!
