WHAT a world we live in! First, Ris Low, our “boomz queen”, has been convicted as credit card shyster. Second, er… okay, there’s no second.
But the poor girl who was previously derided for her inability to speak “proper English” – and by the way, that is apparently the correct terminology, it’s “proper English” not “good English” which is actually bad English, and I’m not talking about the band, and is it me, or didn’t the interviewer have like, a put-on accent, and how come nobody talked about that… er, oh, where was I?
Oh yes, Ris deserves a second chance, don’t you think?
No, I don’t think she should represent Singapore in the Miss World 2009 competition. Every crime should have some sort of punishment, and I’ll admit I’m not sure what probation here is like – will she be served with a Corrective Work Order or something? At least Ris is not sitting behind bars, and I’m not talking about those that serve alcohol.
Anyway, Ris if you’re reading this: Cheer up, lass. You’re not dead. You’ve still got enough time to turn this into an interesting anecdote for your grandchildren. Sure, people will make fun of you for a while – but heck, look at me, people are still making fun of me after 25 years but I haven’t slashed my wrists.
Just don’t beg, borrow or steal any more credit cards. And next time when giving an interview, ask to speak in a language you’re comfortable in, or ask for a translator. It’s okay, you know. Us media types, we’re still people.
But for now: Here are the Top 10 Songs For Ris Low.
