I’ve admired Rui En since I was small, every year during Star Awards I just wish to see Rui En getting an award and giving a speech. Rui En’s dramas have accompanied me for years from a little kid become a teenager. Rui En is always a role model for me.

Time past fast, RBKD turns EIGHT in a blink of an eye. So I wish RBKD all the best, have more activities and always support Rui En! I wish I could be a part of RBKD one day! Good luck!

感谢RBKD这8年来每当有瑞恩的新闻和作品，RBKD都是很快速地发布在RBKD的社交网站上，让我能够知道瑞恩的近况和她新的作品以及更了解她。

最重要的事就是不管瑞恩发生什么事情，RBKD绝对力挺。

RBKD绝对是瑞恩的最佳后盾 💕

一个月前开始成为瑞恩的粉丝。因为瑞恩，知道了RBKD。认真浏览了RBKD的各种帖子，看的过程中，深深地感受到论坛管理者的用心。还有RBKD这个团队组织的各种活动，都让我很感动。瑞恩和RBKD这个团队做人做事的态度，都让我感受到温暖，也鼓励着我坚持成为一个更好的人，而不是随大流。希望RBKD能一直在，一直这样温暖着有缘的人。谢谢。生日快乐。😚

What: A video gift to Rui En, our All Time Favourite Artiste, from RBKD and fans from all over the globe

Where: Across 17 cities in 10 countries

–

Xinyi, Club President (Singapore):

“I wonder if we can mobilize a flash mob, and if Ch8 SA team would be keen.

Get fans to gather at a place and get everyone a mortar board. Then we do a class photo in video style, congratulate her and then throw our mortar boards.

Doing it at the new MCS’ 50 steps would be nice. What do you think?”

That’s how the “50 Steps Mortar Boards” idea started, exactly one month before Star Awards, a really last minute project.

It’s an unprecedented attempt, Channel 8 has never done this before, but heck, I was determined to try. I’m so glad that they agreed.

The next few days were crazy. Reaching out to fans without telling them anything about the idea, it does make you wonder if anyone would sign up for the unknown.

But the response was so overwhelming, we had to scramble to order more mortar boards with just days to go.

What about our members & fans overseas? There’s no way we are going to exclude them. And so this morphed into the ambitious “Fans of the World” project you are seeing today.

Coordinating fans from around the world was no easy feat, not with the tight timeline and difference in time zones. If we had more time, we would have been able to cover a few more cities & states in Australia, UK, China, Malaysia and USA, and also countries such as Germany, Philippines, Hong Kong and Brunei.

But it was still heartwarming for the fans from around the world to step forth, especially the ones who drove hours to film the 10s video in front of a representative landmark. It was really touching to hear them do that.

Over in Singapore, we may not have the Hollywood sign or snowscape, we have instead, strong winds that would blow our mortar boards off our heads and super strong sun that caused us sunburns even though it was supposed to be sheltered.

The video looks short enough, but coordinating close to a hundred people, and capturing the right angle meant that we probably “graduated” more than 30 times that day.

Cheer > Throw > Pick up > Get in position > Repeat.

Yea, we did that at least 30 times across 2 hours. A few of us even sustained bruises when the mortar boards hit us after we sent it flying in the air.

Interestingly, none of the graduates present threw their mortar boards at their convocation. Did you realise that there was a heart formation by the way?

The SG video was split into 2 components – the Sarang Haeyo video involving only the members and the mortar boards video involving both fans and members.

Even the Sarang Haeyo video was not much easier. We had to record so many versions because often, what we imagined isn’t what transpired in reality.

Just like the editing process too.

We thought this was a simple enough video and we would take no more than 2 hours. In the end, we took more than 6 hours before finalising on this version.

But I am sure, that very night when the video played on the screen, everyone who participated was glad that they did.

The video couldn’t have been more timely.

Sarang Haeyo.

PS: Just like this project, this entry was a last minute one. Wrote this within an hour and a half after my dear blogmaster realised we should have done a post from the SG perspective as well. Hope this gives you a glimpse of the thoughts behind this project even though this was written in haste.

What: A video gift to Rui En, our All Time Favourite Artiste, from RBKD and fans from all over the globe

Where: Across 17 cities in 10 countries

–

Janice (California, USA):

Filming the video at Hollywood took half a day as my friend and I had to hike up the mountain to reach the spot nearest to the Hollywood sign. Although we experienced difficulty finding our way to the sign, it was worthwhile when we got to see the Hollywood sign up close for the first time.

Also, the scenic view we saw of Los Angeles from the mountain was breathtaking.

I was delighted to see many fans from various countries showing their support for Rui En in the video, and I was glad to be able to contribute for the video.

Thank you RBKD for arranging this surprise for Rui En and compiling all our videos~

–

Lydia (London, Currently studying in Leeds, UK):

I filmed the video during my 1st trip to London after 2.5years in Leeds, UK.

The video was filmed at a tourist attraction, Tower Bridge, and hence there were lots of tourists there. I was super shy to do it in front of so many people but I decided that I should just do it since I am already there, and that was the only way to convey my heartfelt congratulations to Rui En.

It took me 15 mins to do that 10 second video as the wind was so strong. Was so happy when Xinyi finally approved it haha!

I watched Star Awards live through Skype call with my sisters. We were super shocked and we screamed so loudly when we saw the clips on TV. It was a great experience and I am glad I made it.

–

Odelia (Ontario, Canada):

It was spring in reality (but weather-wise it was definitely still winter… extremely cold) so I decided to film in the park by my house as I was nowhere near the CN tower at that time.

I enlisted the help of my little sister to man the camera. We initially had 5 takes with various scenery and just as we were about to head back into the warmth of our house, feeling dejected that we weren’t able to get a decent shot, it began to snow! Within the span of a few minutes, the field turned white (If that wasn’t some sort of blessing from above for this little project, then I don’t know what it was…). We managed to get a few more takes (a total of 12 takes), scaring the neighbours in the process with me screaming hysterically while frolicking in the field.

When I finally watched the replay of the award show and saw the short clip of a fraction of the international fans supporting Rui En, I just felt a sense of pride of how far we had come as a fandom and also having a moment of victory as we proved to Singapore just how infinite the support for Rui En is!

Continue to inspire En!

–

Celine (Yale University, Connecticut, USA):

When RBKD contacted me about making this video, I couldn’t figure out the best place on campus to film it (without too many people walking by daily). I decided to go to the place with the huge signboard that says Yale on it, situated just by the sidewalk of one of the busiest streets on campus. Who cares about the stares, it’s go all out or go home! I had to plan to do it two weekends before the due date because of midterms season and it was difficult to find friends who are free to do it plus the weather was crazy. Eventually, I managed to find a friend to help me with this. During the first weekend, it was raining too heavily which means I had to get it done on the second weekend or lose the opportunity of a lifetime!

Of all 52 weeks in New Haven, and it was spring at that time, it snowed!! I was like “Oh god, how am I going to do this!” But thankfully, it stopped somewhere at noon. My friend and I went immediately after.

We were about to start “filming” when a group of tourists walked by, wanting to take pictures. I let them take their pictures first. It’ll be so weird and awkward for them to stand there and watch me do whatever I need to do.

It was two degree Celsius outside though it looked sunny and that was all I was wearing in the video because my coat was too thick I cannot bring my arms up to form a saranghaeyo sign. I mentally rehearsed the saranghaeyo action.

My friend, holding my iPhone, gave me a “ready” sign.

“Hey Rui En, saranghaeyo from Connecticut, America.”

One take. I am freezing. I am getting out of here…

It filled my heart with so much pride seeing the video aired live on TV and getting more than a hundred thousand views on Facebook. My parents loved it and I got multiple “I saw you!” comments from my friends who saw the video. Overall, I was happy that I made it and it was very heart-warming to see so many fans from around the world coming together to make this gift possible. I’m sure it meant a lot to Rui En as it was to me personally and could not be prouder to call myself a Rangel.

Mei Ita (Batam, Indonesia)

Sufiana and I started filming at 12 noon, it was a sunny day. The sun was so strong on that day. We took about 45 minutes to film about 6 takes or more and submitted 2 final videos. 帮我们录影的是我的朋友 Michell, 我们三个人真的是被晒到受不了，三番四次跑到车上躲太阳。

好几次的NG 是因为我们两个的声音太小声了还有我们两个很没默契😅 ，因为拍摄地点在空地所以需要用喊的才听得到。

最好笑的是，当我们两个终于培养出点儿默契时，突然就刮起风了，把要送给偶像祝贺短片瞬间变成恐怖片，我们两个人的头发瞬间凌乱不堪😂

因此，有好几次在拍的时候中途都要喊停，都是因为大风惹的祸！

庆幸最后还是能把录影顺利地完成。

回到家照镜子后发现自己还晒黑了不少。

Phallin (Phnom Penh, Cambodia):

Going back to the time we recorded the video, it was really fun yet also messy as well… There were 4 of us from Cambodia who took this video together, and yes, we filmed it by ourselves without any proper cameraman… it was a short clip, yet we took it several times, at least 5 takes, as I remember…

It was quite awkward as we filmed it in front of the Royal Palace, one of the major tourist destinations here, yet luckily we filmed it in the morning, so there were not so many tourists. The most memorable thing during the process must be the time we threw away all the shyness and tried to record the clip even when there were eyes looking at us, wondering what we were doing… On the other hand, this was our first time meeting up with each other as a group and to do something for Rui En together and we were really happy to do it…

Patricia (Tasmania, Australia):

Filming the video took me about 20minutes, went looking for a good spot near my house with a nice background which will feature Tasmania. I found a spot along the highway, my 10 years old son helped to do the filming with me carrying my 5 years old daughter saying the greetings. We tried like 5 to 6 times, making sure that we filmed it when there are no cars driving past so that there would not have any traffic noise in the video.

After watching the video on star awards, felt really happy for Rui En that she has so many overseas fans. Also what a good job the RBKD club had done to create this awesome video.
