Being able to be at the Moncler event was so unexpected as it was so last minute. I could still remember myself in the office for my internship duties, when suddenly I was notified of the event that will be happening a few hours later. Immediately, I started planning my trip to rush down for the event right after I knocked off.

Thankfully, I managed to reach there in time for Rui En’s arrival. The place was filled with so many people anxiously waiting and holding up boards and phones to show their support for various artistes. Finally, when it’s Rui En’s turn to walk the red carpet, instantly, everyone was so hyped up. The place was filled with screams for her, even fans of other artistes were mesmerised by her.

Additionally, I was so touched by Rui En, because she took the initiative to tiptoe and greet everyone and gave us her warm smile. Before she left, she even came to us for a group photo despite the chaotic situation.

Lastly, thank you Rui En. We appreciate your efforts and actions.

On the day when I reached, I was shocked as the layout of the event at ION was quite unexpected. If I had known I would have cancelled my appointment in the morning to help out in queuing.

Rui En appreciated our appearance at the event and she was so sweet when she took the initiative to talk to us and take a group photo. Although I was not very sure what she said to us as I was standing at the front of the shop, I heard her saying “Thanks for coming” before she walked in to the event.

Although we only knew about the event on the day itself, it was a different yet pleasant experience.

What: RBKD Newspaper Collection Drive

When: October 2015

–

Allan, Organiser:

This is the first time I organised a newspaper collection, I decided to do the collection simply because it’s charity!

The collection was quite fun! Had some problems loading all the boxes in one shot with only one lorry and car, so we took two days to finish the collection. The boss was nice and even helped us to load boxes to the lorry!

Yvonne, Priority Member:

This was my first time participating in a charity event involving children. I was initially quite worried as I’m not really good with kids and how to take care of their needs. All these worries were all for naught when I saw the kids being so active. It seems to me that the beneficiaries who attended the event were not affected despite their individual conditions.

I am actually quite impressed with the beneficiaries whom I tagged with throughout the event. Just when I’m about to introduce myself to him, he already started asking if we could go to the playground during the event. He’s one of the most active and enthusiastic kids during the event.

After a small chat with him, he told us that he would want to be an explorer especially to the nature. I am quite surprised as the younger generation grew up in the city with technology and most would not want to get close to the nature. He is quite adventurous in trying out things, however taking into consideration his safety, there were times that we would have to disappoint him. Nevertheless could see that he really enjoyed the activities and the playground facilities; as he wanted to stay longer although the event has ended.

Looking forward to the next event although it can be quite tiring, it’s all worthwhile when you see the kids enjoying themselves (so carefree).

I think it was my first time participating for Annual Giving volunteering event? I’m glad I did! This year’s was something different from the previous years’, our beneficiaries were children! So on Saturday morning, we made our way down to Canberra Park where they had special facilities in the playground! Each of us was attached to a beneficiary or their sibling. For me, Bihui and I were paired with a super outgoing boy.

We started with Treasure Hunt around the park to get the kids excited with rewards aka candy! We then played Captain Foosball, an adaptation from a game we played in Orientation earlier this year. Then, we brought the kids around for mini carnival games like ‘shoot the can’, ‘throw the ball into the box’ etc. My beneficiary really enjoyed the ‘shoot the can’ game!

After carnival games came lunch finally~ We got Happy meals for the kids and they liked the toys too. It was kinda a free-and-easy session afterwards where we could play in the playground. The highlight was possibly the see-saw! Lots of kids could play on the see-saw at once and it was like playing on viking ship in theme parks haha.

It was a tiring day, but fulfilling too! It was nice to know that the children enjoyed themselves

What: SG50 Botanic Gardens Concert Performance

When: 7 August 2015

Where: Botanic Gardens

Bi Hui, Priority Member:

Yesterday was the first and hopefully the last most hectic event I’ve ever gone to.

I was one of the earliest to be there and it was scorching hot in the morning. We attracted a lot of passer-by walking past, staring at the boards, and then saying “Rui En!” as they passed by our stretch of boards. Some even came to us to ask when she’s coming today, or when the concert starts. It’s really nice to hear from passer-by that they love her acting in Our Homeland, and one uncle even said Rui En was his No. 1 favourite!

Soon after, clouds were starting to form in the skies, drizzles were falling onto us, and soon drizzles became rain, rain became downpour. We scrambled to save our boards, quickly wrapped it up with trash bags, ponchos, umbrellas, literally anything that could save the boards from being wet.

The rain didn’t really stop after that disaster. It was drizzling with high and low frequencies which made us so frustrated as whenever we took off our ponchos when we thought there isn’t rain, the rain started pouring again!

Everything went well until around 3pm when the next hectic downpour came. This time we were better prepared and I would say it’s easier to scarmble and run off to the shelter, as there were more people to help out to keep the picnic mats. This time, the downpour was REALLLLY BAD. I think it’s because the soil was already wet, it formed a massive landslide/waterfall around our area. Scrambled once again to find another place to hide ourselves, but as soon as we stepped into the shelter, the rain became smaller, and we saw crowds going back to the event area, which we decided that we should too.

Let’s skip until where Rui En came out. Woah I tell you, I was so happy to see her man! And wow the things we did together when the downpour happened? That was really amazing. Perhaps the downpour has also shown how united we are as a team, which I feel somehow, was a good experience that we could all counter the problems together, and helping each other when in need. Back to the concert, I was in high spirits. Her performance was amazzzzzing good man, most importantly we had a good time together, waving our flags, singing as loud as we could and screaming on top of our lungs as so we could be heard.

What: Spartan Race Performance

When: 1 August 2015

Where: Causeway Point

Xinjie, Ordinary Member:

Spartan Race event wasn’t the first event I been to, but it sure was a memorable one.

It was somewhat unlike the other events I have been to where Rui En would be singing. It wasn’t the usual countdown events. Instead, it was an event where people were able to showcase the sporty side in them. I really like the idea where sports awareness/promotion event and a singing performance can be collaborated together.

Looking forward to the next time I can listen to Rui En sing 另类对你好 again!

There were those times when we cried together, when it felt like we only had each other in this world.

But being together gave us strength.

There were those times when it felt like really dark times and we were trapped in a never-ending tunnel, lost.

But being together gave us hope, and faith.
.

You taught us, how to,

Give, sincerely

Love, unconditionally

Step out of our comfort zones, bravely

And watch each other’s backs, instinctively

.

We never knew what being in a FC means,
But it’s okay, we have each other.

Someone to rant to,
Someone to laugh together with.

It’s good to have you around.

I have not watched this movie yet (not a fan of being a crowd follower).

Just thought the lyrics were pretty interesting, and perhaps, remotely appropriate too.

遇见了你 是生命最好的事情

也许当时
忙着微笑和哭泣 忙着追逐天空中的流星
人理所当然的忘记
是谁风里 雨里 一直默默守护在原地

原来你是 我最想留住的幸运
那为我对抗世界的决定 那陪我淋的雨
一幕幕都是你 一尘不染的真心

Happy 7th Birthday, my dear friend.

.
Regards
Xinyi
The Xinyi
With Love.

原来，拥有泪流满面的权利，也是一种幸运。
