I was reading this week's i-weekly then (forgot e actual date.. hmm... hehe...). Who's on the cover? RUI EN!!!
I always felt that she's really a cool person... even a cold person...
After reading this article, the impression remains intact but something about her had been added, that is, her determination of not going against any of her principles. Many reporters, actors, actresses, and other media staffs and unable to change her mind about certain stuffs. Such as clothes that are too exposed, she will say NO, right away. They gave up. Hence, reports about her do became very seldom unless she had a drama braodcasted recently. And this article came along with her new "masterpiece"- 《破茧而出》. I'm one of the loyal viewers of this serial. Putting the storyline aside, her will to try out all stunts without substitutes, made me feel proud of her, cos' they are not easy stunts that any girl would do, DARE to do. To be honest, the story has some parts that are pretty illogical... A pregnant woman still doing mission and gun scenes, somemore... hahax
Since reporters asked questions that usually she either won't reply or that she gave stuff that is not "captivating" enough to feed the "ever hungry" reporters on juicy news and happenings, in this article, she was given the privilege to ask and to answer. I guess she's the only one in Singapore. lol
So, here's the title: The Pretender
She asked: "Why is my face that grumpy and unhappy? "
She answered: "Finally I'm able to provide evidence to it because my face is born like this since young!"
lol... she's being frank, huh??? but she's cute lar...
She does laugh and smile, but seldom:
I'm always curious why she is a little uncomfortable with putting her surname with her name... Last time, I used to wonder, is there such a surname called RUI (芮）??? If I've not mistaken or remembered wrongly, she's
卢芮恩
The later portion of the article finally revealed what I've been curious about these years. Her parents had a divorce when she's just seventeen. She said: " The house was choatic and quarrels happened very frequently. Then, I do not understand why adults get together when they'll be separated in the end. When I grew older, I told my myself that I'll consider carefully. Marriage is not a MUST, I'm fine with just I, me and myself." "That's why I chose to be like An Xiao Qian in the drama who rather be a survivor than a victim in life." Her words led me into deep thinking...
I've never seen such an article before... for me... not yet... this is the first time. She's worth the space and worth the respect... She's unique...
She's my idol. I'll continue to support her work.

Lyrics:
keep you in the dark you know they all pretend
keep you in the dark and saw it all begin
send in your skeletons
sing as the bones come marchin' in againthe knee you buried deep
the secrets that you keep are ever ready, are you ready?
I'm finished making sense
done pleading ignorance
that whole defense
spending this energy
but the wheel thats spinnin' me is never ending, never ending
same ol' story
what if I say you're not like the others
what if I you're not just another one
look at your face, you're the pretender
what if I say I'll never surrender x2
in time I'm so I'm told
I'm just another soul for sale, oh well
the pages I repress
they are not permanent, they are temporary, same ol story
what if I say you're not like the others
what if I you're not just another one
look at your face, you're the pretender
what if I say I'll never surrender x2
I'm the voice inside your head you refuse to hear
I'm the face you have to face mirroring yourself
I'm whats left, I'm whats right, I'm the enemy
I'm the hand that takes you down and brings you to your knees
so who are you, yeah who are you, yeah who are you, yeah who are you
even in the dark, you know they all pretend
what if I say you're not like the others
what if I you're not just another one
look at your face, you're the pretender
what if I say I'll never surrender
what if I say you're not like the others
(even in the dark, you know they all pretend)
what if I you're not just another one
(even in the dark, you know they all pretend)
look at your face, you're the pretender
(even in the dark, you know they all pretend)
what if I say I'll never surrender x3
so who are you
yeah who are you
yeah who are you
yeah who are you...
