It was "Drum Roll!" Ris Low...
I was thinking what the hell she did this time?
It was a Q & A Session. And here it is.
Q: Ris, it's no exaggeration to say that you're now officially Singapore's most recognizable ex-beauty queen. Has fame been a dream or nightmare for you so far?
It's been a dream, a fabulous dream. It's like being in wonderland, people recognize you and you get freebies...
Q: What sort of freebies?Oh I get a lot of free nail treatments and hair treatments.Q: I see. But surely it hasn't all been smooth-sailing?
You have been getting your fair share of flak and criticism ...(interrupts) No, I take everything with a pinch of salt. So it's just been a dream to me, even the bad parts.Q: So you're thoroughly enjoying yourself?Ah huh. There's no such thing as bad publicity, only publicity. (smiles)
Q: Some people say that you don't know what you're doing and have dragged our country's reputation down with you. What do you have to say to these people?
Can I tell them that they're bull-sh**ing? Please take a look at yourself in the mirror, as if you're not disgracing yourself. Is your English really that good? Can you really speak that well? Can you write that well? Do you think you can stand on the stage and portray yourself? No, I don't think so. You're just somebody behind a computer, a nerd wearing specs, typing away. Just a coward.
Q: Has there been anything brought up in the media that you would like to clarify?
They said I bought my title, but obviously that's not true. If you spend money and effort going to grooming classes and catwalk classes, of course you'll win. Nothing comes for free. You must put in the effort to make yourself well known, make yourself be seen. Saying I bought my title is so not true.
Q: Speaking of well-known, did you ever think that the word 'boomz' will become the national phenomena it is now?
No, I thought 'boomz' was just a word used by myself and in the comics, where the cars go crashing and then boomz!
Q: So how long have you been using this word?
I think since I was young. I'll just play with the (toy) trucks and go boomz, boomz, boomz!
Q: And did it always come with the z at the back?
You know there was this point in time whereby everything came with a z at the back? It was so yesterday, but ya ...
Q: So I see you've coined a new word, shingz, which you said translate to 'sucks'. Was that also from your childhood?
No, that's recently. It's like saying basket ... and when you can't say that, you just say shingz.
Q: So are you going to get into the habit of coining new words?
Ya, I can start a Ris Low dictionary anytime. (smiles) Because I'm always into new words, and I like coming up with new ways of expressing myself through different sounds. I base them on sounds la, don't really think there're words actually.
Q: Interesting. So has your daily 10pm curfew been 'shingz' for you?
Obviously, I can't go for any events if it's after 10pm, or I have to get approval from my probation officer. Other than that, it's not much of a problem because I'm not much of a nightlife person. I don't go chionging (clubbing), even though I look like a chiongster.
Q: What do you do when you want to go out and have a good time then?
Shopping, shopping, tons of shopping. (laughs) A woman can never get enough of shopping. You get real excitement and thrill out of shopping. It's like you're looking at the clothes and they're asking you to try them out. (in animated tone) That gorgeous dress, ooh look at that!
Q: Where do you usually do your shopping?
Anywhere with clothes. Heeren, Bugis, Cineleisure. And the infamous City Plaza.
Q: City Plaza? Eh isn't that where all the aunties do their shopping?
No. (shakes head disapprovingly) ... the clothes are so trashy. And I like trashy clothes.
Q: So what's the trashiest outfit that you have?
Haha, I don't even dare to wear it out, I think my mom will kill me. It's all furry, mid-riff and comes with a short skirt.
Thaddeus: What are you studying again? I'm sure everybody forgot what you said the last interview.
A: I am currently majoring in my, (pause) Diploma in helf signs anddd hospitarity and traver tourism. Right now I am studying steel.
Basicly that the whole of interview. If you want more go http://entertainment.sg.msn.com/commented/article.aspx?cp-documentid=3696462
Until my next post See Ya!
