Hello to all at RBKD!

I remember when RBKD was first set up in 2008; back then, the future of the fan club was unsure. Now, however, it has become an established organization who has a heart for the people (and Rui En of course!) and comprises responsible members.

Kudos to the Club President and all Exco! I am sure RBKD will continue to grow and expand further in the coming years.

Here’s wishing you guys a Happy 5th Anniversary, and many more fruitful years ahead!

Cheers!

Dearest RBKD,

Happy 5th anniversary to you! You all put in a lot of efforts in all Rui En’s events such as coming very early to support her, giving her gifts and so on. You all deserve a big round of applause by Rui En and Rangels. And I have to thank you all for posting great pictures of Rui En on Instagram and Twitter and having a YouTube account so that Rangels could watch RuiEn’s video. Thanks alot.

And you all are very kind and helpful. You all volunteered to help those poor by cleaning their house. It’s a really great idea! HAPPY 5th ANNIVERSARY RBKD

Hi RBKD!

Happy and blessed 5th Anniversary!

Just want to say that your fan club has been most inspiring and one of a kind. It’s amazing to see how this fan club has grown in the short span of a few years. The influence of an artiste is great, and it is very encouraging to have an artiste like Rui En and this fan club, RBKD, influencing people to be more selfless in Singapore. When I read about what you all do for the community, and also how you all support each other, it is always comforting.

Keep up the good work in helping the less fortunate and spreading the love, being an example to many other young fans out there in the community!

I won’t be the crazy fan girl that most of you all are, but you all will always have my support!

Regards,

Joan Muk

Even though I’m not from RBKD, but just wanna say that i really love it

Firstly, RBKD has brought so much fun to Rui En’s fans. You guys are the source of my news for Rui En, which gets me really excited all the time . I believe all Rui En fans are passionate, and full of energy , which I guess makes us united and persevere to give our best to help our idol!

Secondly, I really like how you guys are so passionate and crazy over Rui En which all of us are I guess? And you guys really helped me in my “collection ” a lot. I’ve been collecting Rui En’s newspapers for a long time, and without RBKD’s help I wouldn’t have collected so much . When you guys blog about the article Rui En is in I’ll just buy it immediately, so yeah really thanks.

Thirdly, RBKD brought Rui En fans together , and I really like how you guys lead us to trend Rui En together! And that was also my favourite moment. I believe all Rui En fans would want Rui En to trend as many times as possible , so thanks for giving us the chance! I love how we can just spam all about Rui En or whatever and about the TV programme Its fun at the same time

Lastly，thanks RBKD, I’m grateful that I’m one of Rui En fans! I’m sure we can be united and strong and perservere for Rui En and support everything she does together. RBKD ROCKS

Cheers,

Wen Xuan

Hi RBKD,

Its been 5 years. Time seems to fly past. Just want to wish you happy birthday. I’d like to thank all members in RBKD for their hard work and loud screams in public events. I feel your warmth, I’m sure Rui En does to. This fanclub is somewhat different from the others. It’s the close knitted ‘family’ and all the charitable events you do that make others envy. Really wish to be part of you soon. I love RBKD. Keep growing.

Love,

Hello dear RBKD,

Though I may not be a member, I will still be supporting you guys all the way! I’m quite a new fan but I really wanna wish you guys will have a great anniversary.

I hope I’m not too late and the thing I admire about you guys is how well organised you are, your blog is very up to date and also the charity work you all do-even if Rui En is not there. This is something I really want to do and I like how it comes from your heart…not just because Rui En is there or not but because you really want to help.

I am also really surprised of how supportive you all are to her! Going to Malaysia just to get her things and even writing back to reporters to thank them for writing smth good about Rui En…that is truly something amazing

I sincerely hope that this group of friends (I mean this group of family) can continue on and on.

Wishing you all a great anniversary and all the hard work you have put in is really just wow

You have my support all the way!

Happy birthday

Many thanks for maintaining this page so efficiently, and constantly making an effort to update the various social media platforms of news and pictures of our dearest idol to brighten up our days!

What: Special Appearance at The Final 1

When: 21 August 2013

Where: The Star Vista Performing Arts Centre

—

Joan Chen, Priority Member:

When I was first told that Rui En was going to make an appearance at The Final 1, I was over the moon as I have not heard her singing live before!

Yanling and I were tasked to bring the boards that day, as her appearance was supposed to be a “Surprise”, we didn’t stay as a group as we usually do, didn’t wish anyone to say “hi”, etc, all so to avoid people noticing us (from RBKD, i.e. there to support her).

When the master of ceremony announced that Taufik was going to sing “Sky’s the limit”, we were on our toes. When Rui En stepped out onto the stage, we went “bonkers”, we stood up and waved the boards to the music. She was certainly a great crowd rousers. I was very thankful that the music accompaniment were actually good. We could hear their voices clearly, of course, got super high from Rui En’s rocking performance!

I was also pleasantly surprised to see our Malaysian fan, Weijen flew in especially for this event. I was privileged to have a short catch up with her and Joey after the show.

Thank you RBKD for making it an enjoyable event and that we accomplished our mission of staying “mysterious” till she made the appearance!

—

Pei Jun, Priority Member:

The response I had when I got to know that she’s making a special appearance on the Final 1 is almost as equivalent as of a superstitious lady who got pregnant for the very first time – that moment of joy and excitement that sent you into a frenzy mode and you would love to share with the people around you, but you can’t until a certain point of time… Hahaha.

Anyway, I had fun singing and screaming with other rangels as we waved the boards in harmony. Oh, and the whole part of acting mysterious like a FBI on mission until the final showdown where she pops out… I kinda enjoyed that too…

All good things will come to an end, the song ended and the whole performance felt so surreal when she went off and vanished to the side of the stage. Gone in a blink of an eye… But we had fun!

When: 11 June 2013

Where: MediaCorp TV Theatre

—

Yvonne Lim, Ordinary Member:

It was my first time going to Mediacorp TV Theatre, was kind of feeling excited for it. I felt that the theme for this party was a refreshing one; masquerade – everyone who attended the party has to put on the mask. As usual, event seldom start on time; hence while waiting we were all busy taking photos and chatting around.

We were all excited when Rui En made her entrance in the leopard print dress. I think the most enjoyable part of the party would be when all the artistes were on stage playing games. We had a great laugh at their interaction and gestures during the game; especially when Rui En has to imitate Zoe Tay’s voice. Looking at her facial expressions and gestures just brighten my day (night).

It just hit my mind that ZZSF party was the first event which I have attended, that we could sit comfortably to cheer for her. It’s a “privilege” to enjoy it in such a relaxing atmosphere, isn’t it?

I joined RBKD in March 2011 and I have to admit that I was kind of afraid to meet up with Rangles at first as I was afraid I would be left out haha!

1) Memorable and unforgettable moment(s) in RBKD was …….

Bi Hui, Team Dedicated, Participant:

A steamboat dinner after prolonged hours of walking under the hot sun for the whole day is indeed refreshing, recharging!

It was really nice that we could have small chats and also get to know each other better. Also not forgetting, the fireworks we saw and we were fortunate enough to have a good view from where we were seated.

Overall, it was a nice night out with RBKD :)

—

Xin Jie, Team Boundless, Participant:

I love food!!! Being able to hang out with RBKD, doing what I love, is just….awesome! (:

It really was a great night, catching up, chatting. It was a really enjoyable night as there were so many things which we laughed out heartily, so many jokes! And for someone with low humour point, it was rather uncontrollable. I just kept laughing.

In fact, this is my first time having a meal in a big group with RBKD, and this experience is a memorable one for me! Eating, chatting, laughing, joking, cooking! :D

I would like to take this opportunity to also give thanks to the organisers for organising this event – finding this restaurant and booking it for us etc.

Here’s to more fun days with RBKD!

IPC, Orientation | Comments Off on RBKD Orientation 2013 – Steamboat Dinner

What: RBKD Orientation 2013

When: 8 June 2013

Where: Labrador Park

—

Sandra, Team Resilient, Assistant Team Leader:

The skit was kinda impromptu but I personally liked how we were given lesser time to prepare because everything performed was funnier/more real as we just went with whatever ideas we had.

We were given time to discuss and rehearse and so as not to waste any preparation time, we just took up any roles of the skit without hesitation or worrying about being embarrassed on stage (which is good because some of us snapped out of being shy and just enjoyed the entire process).

The skits put up by all the teams were rather comical and everyone had a great time laughing at one another.

Team Resilient acting out ‘Fish Feeding @ Bishan Park’ IPC

—

Amanda Lee, Team Knitted, Participant:

For me, I felt that the skit was one filled with team work.

As this is my first time joining the Orientation, I was quite unsure of what to do as it was really scary to just go up and act in front of so many other participants. I was quite sure that I did get the symptoms of stage fright (such as mind blanks and not being able to speak) while rehearsing but my teammates were very patient and encouraging.

I’m really thankful and glad for their patience and understanding, it helped me a lot. Jean even volunteered to do the scenes with me. That lifted a load off my chest although I was still nervous. The skit may not be a perfect one, but to me, the skit was an awesome one because of my teammates.

I really felt that it showed exactly what team work meant as we tried to help each other especially when someone forgot their lines. I enjoyed myself a lot and I’m sure my teammates had fun too :)

Team Knitted <3

ACTION!

—

Zi Lei, Team Knitted, Team Leader:

It was definitely not an easy task coming up with a skit that had relevance to RBKD, albeit coming from drama CCA in secondary school. The storyline of the skit was definitely an aintegral part of it and how could I put in elements and characteristics of RBKD and its members into it? Fortunately for me, an idea came to me one night and it was to act out the obstacles that fans of different ages may face and how they could resolve it.

I wanted to make our skit as true to life as possible and I felt that this was one way to do it because our members are indeed from various backgrounds and there are certainly no lack of obstacles, personal and external, when deciding to join the big family.

On the actual day, rehearsal time went by pretty quickly too. As I only provided them with how the scenes will change and how it goes as a whole (i.e. without any scripts), the bulk of it, which was the acting, was then based mostly on their own improvisation.

There were a few minor hiccups but I am proud to say they did a great job! With the limited time and only things from my head to work with (which is basically nothing concrete/no scripts), they managed to inject their own ideas and put up a skit for Team K even though it might have been their first go at acting (and improvising)!

It’s been a great experience and kudos to all of you for the great job done!

Lilian Ng, Team Boundless, Participant:

This is my first year joining RBKD orientation. On the day itself, I was feeling excited yet nervous. But everything went on smoothly, and it took not much time for me to get to know my teammates.

Obstacles race was the part that I enjoyed most. We were to create our own obstacles with the items we had. During the race, everyone was supposed to be blindfolded with a person from their group guiding them through the obstacle course, and I am one of them (to guide). At first, it felt hard to guide, but I got the hang of it after guiding through a few teammates.

Lastly, thanks to the OC, TLs, ATLs and everyone present at the orientation for the fun moments together. Joining the Orientation was no regrets, hope to be able to join the future ones.

“Let’s add this bottle here! Is 1 bottle enough?”

This was the reaction when we were told that the obstacles we will be making, will be for other teams. Just when everybody was done building their obstacles, “decorated” with leaves and hanging bottles, we were told that “the obstacles you guys have built will be for your own team!”……… and we gasped in horror!

Through this, everyone have learnt that in RBKD, you do not do harm to others otherwise there would be something known as karma ;) And without any doubts, team spirit is really the key to complete this race :)

For the “Mahjong paper” game, I have learnt that as a team, no one gets left behind no matter what, because with teamwork, we can definitely conquer the impossible, together.

TEAM: Together We Achieve More!

Shannon, Team Dedicated, Participant:

I felt that it was interesting to design the obstacles. I was given a chance to be the guide for my group. Guiding was indeed challenging, but eventually, everyone was able to cross the obstacles blindfolded when we worked closely together.

Last part of the obstacles race was the ‘Mahjong paper’ game. I felt that this game was the best for group bonding. There were many interesting moments throughout the game. Even though my group came in last, I felt that my group had the most fun completing the game.

The whole game was enjoyable and hilarious. It has been a while since the last time I had so much fun. Hopefully I will be able to join more of such events in future!!!

Clarence, Team Resilient, Participant:

We didn’t start off with the usual 3+1 intro, instead, we dived in straight to Amazing Race which was my most favourite part of the orientation. At first, I thought it would be similar to last year, going to Sentosa and doing similar missions. Little did I expect it to be something so energy-draining.

For one of the missions, we had to act out some of Rui En’s characters in her dramas and then take photos. We were all having fun during this mission as we had a great laugh at each other’s interesting facial expressions.

Our TL and ATL took good care of us by constantly reminding us to drink up and to tell them if we are not feeling well. The most unforgettable part of the race was finding the ‘no fishing’ sign board which we spent a lot of time walking to find it.

Throughout the race, my teammates and I bonded a lot and we cared for each other’s well-being too. We also bonded with other teams as well, as we tried to slow them down but at the same time, interacting with them. In short, I really enjoyed the orientation and would like to thank the Organizing Committee (OC) for doing such a wonderful job even though it was exhausting.

Yee Ling, Team Knitted, Participant:

I was very impressed with the first task: fill-in-the blanks quiz which will lead us to the next clue, although we had difficulties with it, luckily, we were able to complete it with the help of every teammate and the clues from the OC.

Along the way, we met other teams so we did photo bombing. Not forgetting, we also had a chance to imitate Rui En’s characters and not to deny, we had difficulties finding a suitable role for each of our teammates.

Lastly, I would like to say a BIG THANK YOU to everyone in the OC who organised this fun and challenging race. I just want to shout out to my team – TEAM KNITTED!! Thank you everyone for putting a great effort in it and also to my TL and ATL too. Although our team was the smallest and it was tiring, I had a lot of fun under the hot sun, especially the mahjong paper game.

Cheers to next Orientation!!

Can you see the word ‘Knitted’?

Zhiqing, Team Resilient, Team Leader:

Through the discussion that we had to complete our first task (fill-in-the blanks quiz), we have all opened up, became more chatty, and were no longer shy.

During our second task, which was to use the initials of the answers in the first task, to figure out the next location, we met some difficulties. Through this task, I’ve realised that determination and working as a team are really important, without it, we will never be able to solve the puzzle, and not forgetting the clues from the OC.

The most tiring of all was definitely the walking. We had to walk to various places and complete our tasks. One of our tasks was to sing the song “关怀是阳光”, and surprising, everyone wasn’t shy about singing in front of others in the public, even though, for some, we have only met for the first time.

Through the amazing race, we have all became more bonded. The amazing race has really helped all of us to step out of our comfort zone and we really had a lot of fun.

Thanks for all the fun, teammates :)

Madeline, on Preparation of Amazing Race:

Planning for the amazing race was rather challenging as we wanted to make this year’s race different. As such, we decided to hold it at another location – Labrador Park, and also came up with new tasks that were more unique to RBKD, such that the activities would provide an unforgettable experience for everyone.

The activities we came up with required quite a bit of preparation beforehand – from trawling through the RBKD website to find interesting quotes to visiting Giant to photograph all kinds of food & household items.

Nevertheless, it was really heartening to see everyone working together as one, as well as receiving many photos of happy faces of team completing their tasks on whatsapp throughout the course of the race.

It was great seeing our efforts paid off; hope everyone had a good time! (:

Junqi and Ying mei, on Amazing Race:

This year’s Amazing Race was especially tiring yet fulfilling. As we followed the teams from Vivo to Keppel Bay to Labrador Park, we could see how this activity managed to bond the teams. Despite the fatigue all of them faced from having to walk such a long distance in the hot weather, everyone took care of one another and cheered each other on. Kudos to the TLs/ATLs for trying their best to engage their teammates throughout :)

It was fun too watching some of the teams go in the wrong direction but at the same time felt so paiseh because of the hot weather and extra distance they had to walk. We tried our best to put on a poker face so we don’t give away the next location, we didn’t mean to mislead you guys haha, sorry! ;)

In order to ensure that the last team wasn’t lagging too far behind, we had to come up with some impromptu tasks. It was encouraging to see that although a few of the tasks were similar in nature, groups still enjoyed themselves.

Seeing all the teams having fun gave us a sense of satisfaction and we’re definitely glad that everyone enjoyed themselves.

We look forward to next year’s Orientation’s Amazing Race!

Phyllis, on Obstacle Race:

RBKD element?
Different from other orientations?

These questions were constantly on our minds as we planned.

We had so many ideas along the way, but the idea of an obstacle race emerged as our final decision after numerous brain storming and a site recee trip! Well, it was because we agreed that an obstacle race is definitely something unique to RBKD’s orientation and it would encompass the RBKD elements.

Throughout the course of the race, be it during the brainstorming segment on what to build or the actual race, what was most heartening to see was that everyone displayed the true RBKD spirit. Team B being the first to cross the finishing line, offered to shelter Team D that was under the sun. Team R and Team K gave up their mahjong paper that was still intact to Team D to help them finish the race. Everyone was there to lend a helping hand.

I still remember the smile/cheers/hi-fives as each team stepped across the finishing line. It was such a pleasing sight.

I am really thankful to be part of the organizing committee once again and for all the participants that attended this orientation, I would like to let you know that your presence was the best present for the organizing committee and TLs/ATLs.

Let’s look forward to Orientation 2014 :)
