We have been blessed.

They say donating & volunteering are acts of giving, but actually, we are the ones who have gained.

My members shared with me how much they have enjoyed the volunteering experience, that they have learnt so much from the elderly and how they were so inspired by them too.

For myself, it must be the people and the little moments.

That moment,
when you see the CNY deco from us last year,
still proudly displayed on the elderly’s doors.

That moment,
when the elderly folks remember us as the anonymous group,
who have been visiting them with CNY goodies yearly.

Words can’t describe the immense sense of satisfaction.

And my lovely volunteers, what more can I say.

No one knew Rui En was joining,
not my members,
not Xinmsn.

No one knew Xinmsn was joining,
not my members,
not Rui En.

Only I do,
but still,
they all came,
and that says a lot about them.

Thank you for liking this birthday gift, and cake.
Thank you for joining us, and completing the meaning of this project.
Thank you for enjoying this volunteering experience, with us.
And thank you, for the chance to share our blessings.

We have been blessed.

She schemes against her peers, she is prone to having feelings of intense jealousy and has a number of other huge character flaws.

Zhao Fei Er, Singapore actress Jeanette Aw’s character in the upcoming drama “The Dream Makers”, is a real piece of work.

“The Dream Makers” boasts a star-studded cast, including Chen Hanwei, Zoe Tay and Rui En, all three of whom will be working with Aw for the first time in a drama serial.

Aw expressed that she is looking forward to working with them, but lamented the fact that she will have relatively few scenes with screen veterans Chen and Tay.

“It’s such a pity though, because it’s a huge cast, it’s impossible to have scenes with everybody,” said Aw.

#8 Charity work: Start the New Year with a good deed

Instead of splashing out cash on visits to your nearest cinema or SISTIC outlet, take it from us and start the year on a good note with a charitable deed.

At the invitation of Rui En’s fanclub, RBKD, we took part in their annual charity drive two weekends ago – done in-lieu to celebrate their idol’s birthday and Chinese New Year. We had a hand in the entire process from packing the New Year goods and gift hampers to knocking on doors of old folks staying in single-room flats in Ang Mo Kio to distribute the packed goods and spread some festive cheer. Although we walked away from the experience with aching arms and calves, knowing that we’ve brightened a person’s day with our words and presence is in itself, far more fulfilling and rewarding. Sense of satisfaction: irreplaceable.

人生如戏、戏如人生。Life is like a show and a show is like a replay of life.

You’ve seen our BTS clips, you’ve seen our NG bloopers. But have you ever wondered what goes on behind the scenes the moment the director shouts CUT?

When the curtains are drawn and the lights go out, do you revert to your original self, or do you continue to being in character? Everyone has multiple roles to play, and more so in showbiz. It’s not as simple as playing a loyal spouse or a bossom buddy.

Beneath the glamorous façade, lies a mirage of unspoken tension.

‘The Dream Makers’ 《志在四方》, an (exaggerated) expose of showbiz, drizzled with romance and bucketfuls of eyecandy. Scandalicious~

Starring a whole list of A-listers and fresh faces including your favorite Rui En, Jeanette Aw, Zoe Tay, Chen Li Ping, Qi Yu Wu, Shaun Chen, Chen Han Wei, Rebecca Lim, Desmond Tan, Jayley Woo and Dawn Yeoh!

Together, at last. But they’re not even friends – at least not yet.

Local television’s “princesses” Rui En and Jeanette Aw are finally starring in their first drama series together (as love rivals, no less), ending their fans’ decade-long wait for their on-screen pairing on The Dream Makers, which will air on Channel 8 in June.

It’s all significant as both actresses belong to the same management company Hype Records, yet haven’t crossed paths professionally till now.

Will there be rivalry? Or perhaps the coupling will lead to a budding friendship?

Whatever the outcome, all eyes will be on Channel 8’s latest blockbuster drama, The Dream Makers, which is currently being filmed and will air in June.

Rui En, 31, told The New Paper recently: “Jeanette and I don’t interact a lot. I can’t say we are close.

“Even though we’re signed to the same company, we rarely see each other.

“I would say we’re just acquaintances. So I’m looking forward to working with her for the first time.”

Said Aw, 33, in a separate interview: “I guess Rui En and I are both known loners in the industry.

“We meet when we have common events and it’s always been a friendly relationship. But we don’t know each other well on a personal level.

“How are she and I similar or different? Perhaps when the filming of our show is over and I get the chance to know her better, I will know just how to answer this.”

Since signing up with Hype Records some 10 years ago, Rui En and Aw have conquered Caldecott Hill and are famed for being two of the seven “MediaCorp princesses”.

Even when former starlets Fiona Xie, Dawn Yeoh, Jesseca Liu and Felicia Chin were still acting full time, Rui En and Aw remained arguably the most popular.

So surely there has been rivalry between the two?

Said Rui En: “I think we’ve outgrown the whole princesses thing; it was a nice marketing tool.

“The three of us (Rui En, Aw and Joanne Peh) are now doing our own thing. I don’t think we need to compete or be compared to each other.

“As for Joanne, I’ve never had the chance to hang out with her.”

Added Aw: “My cloest friend are all from outside of the industry. It has always been this way.”

Rui En echoed the same sentiment, and said she also refrained from making friends at work as she wanted to concentrate fully on her job.

She scrampers off into her own corner during filming breaks to read her script.

“It makes sense to just work when you’re working.

“My only friend in the industry is (veteran actress) Chen Liping. We get along really well, we can talk about anything, and she’s someone I look up to and respect a lot.

“We met while filming (Channel 8 drama) Unriddle (in 2010) and there was just chemistry.”

In The Dream Makers, Rui En plays a variety show director who has to take over hosting duties when someones else messes up.

Her character then becomes an actress when she’s well-received by the audience.

In the show, she’s caught in a love triangle with an actor (Qi Yuwu) and actress (Aw).

Said Rui En: “When my character meets Yuwu’s character, it’s a love at first sight.

“Then halfway, I find out that he’s actually attached to someone else…so it becomes complicated.”

She added: “It’ll be nice to work with Jeanette on this as it’d be a fresh pairing.”

Well, they may have more in common than they think.

New Year resolutions

When asked if they made any New Year resolutions this year, both gave uncannily similar answers.

Both don’t make resolutions.

If you are wondering why they have such similar perspectives on work, these principles were instilled in them by their boss.

Ken Lim, who owns Hype Records, was candid as he spoke of his two biggest assets.

He said: “I believe in the saying that it’s lonely at the top. So I tell all my artistes to just concentrate on their work and not to mix with others when they are filming.

“When you interact with others at work, you will get yourselves involved in politics – what for?

“Rui En and Jeanette appeal to different fans, and this is why they are both at the top of their game.

“Rui En is the one with the attitude, while Jeanette is relatable.”

He added that both are finally starring in a drama together only because they have established themselves in showbiz over the years.

They are so “vastly different” in terms of their market appeal that they cannot be compared to each other any more, he said.

In the past, Lim believed that comparisons made between them would have harmed their status in the early years of their careers.

Said Lim: “The on-screen pairing has to be right. If not, it’ll never work.

“This was a matter of timing, and since their fans have wanted it for the longest time, we decided to make it happen/

“I’m sure there’s rivalry between the all actresses, so I always tell Jeanette and Rui En to let their work speak for itself.”

But even keeping themselves hasn’t protected Aw and Rui En from workplace politics, as they’ve encountered instances of back-stabbing.

Added Rui En: “There will always be bad things and you’ll get to hear of them. Not much of it is true, but people will say what they want to say.

“I have witnessed unprofessional actors trying to sabotage one other.

“Everyone puts up with back-stabbing and politics in the workplace everyday, but I have consciously chosen not to engage.”
