We need more people like Ris Low
Singapore needs more people like Ris Low!
Yes, you read correctly. We want more like the beauty queen, minus her negative attributes, of course.
Just look at her positive traits: spunky, can-do character that survives and thrives despite all the mean things thrown at her by the self-righteous snobs in the establishment press and their underlings.
What we can learn from Ris, other than her ability to coin words like boomz, frienemy (person you love and hate) and niffy-bitty (something cute and tiny):
To be thick-skin and to possess a strong sense of humour
Singaporeans are notoriously thin-skin animals who take themselves so seriously that they cannot see the funny side of life. They want to bash you up or scratch your car or call the police to handcuff you if you so much as breathe into their face, or make jokes or sarcastic remarks about them.
We live and move and work in a crowded, tense urban jungle, surrounded by jealous co-workers, bosses from hell, indifferent neighbours, sullen taxi drivers, unsympathetic parking attendants and tigress mothers-in-law. If we do not learn to relax and see the lighter side, we are all going to end up with high blood pressure leading to diabetes, gangrene limbs, amputation and finally to premature death.
Be like Ris Low who seems never to lose her cool, when people boo and insult her. Ris will definitely live longer, with plenty of time to enjoy reading her enemies’ obituaries.
To be able to stand out from the crowd, promoting oneself
Ris Low has achieved fame, simply for being famous, like her idol, Paris Hilton. And she is pretty savvy in promoting this fact, the way she keeps herself in the limelight, always with something new and interesting to say and do. She wants to open a cake shop, no, she wants to open an ice-cream shop (and we drool over a photo of her licking ice-cream). She learns Thai kickboxing and she is also into pole-dancing, and has even compiled a Ristionary—her very own dictionary. (You can read them in her blog.)
Be like Ris, a ball of energy. Don’t be like most Singaporeans who are zombies (blame it on the 100 percent humid weather), who feel sien whenever you suggest to them a new idea or interest or activity. Our society has deteriorated to the point where we can’t function without aircond, latte and beer.
Tourism officials are wasting millions of dollars producing expensive ad campaigns overseas to create a “Singapore buzz”. It would be far cheaper for them to hire Ris Low, Xia Xue and other spunky characters. We can learn from them how Singapore can also be famous for being famous. Maybe Ris Low will come up with a new word for that.
