Ris Low: My boyfriend is just like me
by Tan Kee Yun

RIS Low is truly, madly, deeply in love. Looking radiant in a turquoise sundress, the 20-year-old dethroned beauty queen, best known for coining the word “boomz”, was clearly in a good mood when she met The New Paper recently for an interview.

She looked chubbier as well.

“I’ve put on 10kg after my pageant days,” she admitted, attributing the extra weight to love.

“Every time I go on a date, it will be good food, wine and fattening stuff – no wonder I’m fat,” she said self-deprecatingly.

At one point, she even hummed Nat King Cole’s classic ditty to herself: “L is for the way you look at me, O is for the only one I see...”

The man responsible for Low’s state of unbridled happiness is a 31-year-old property agent whom she has been seeing since February.

She described him as “tall (1.8m), bearing a resemblance to Leslie Cheung (the late Hong Kong singer-actor), soft-spoken, accommodating and introverted”. What impressed her most, she said, was that he doesn’t judge or question her past.

Low, who is in her final year of diploma studies at the Management Development Institute of Singapore, was found guilty of credit card fraud last September and is serving a two-year probation.

She became an Internet sensation after coming up with the strange word “boomz” during a RazorTV interview, and was mocked for her poor English. She also lost her Miss Singapore World title after her conviction came to light.

“He never once asked me, ‘Why did you do that last time?’” she said.

“I don’t like it when people ask me that question – it’s over, and I have given my reasons (to the media). I’m not going to repeat it five million times.

“My boyfriend and I don’t like to dwell on what has already happened. The future is what’s important.”

>> "No secrets" between them

She's a bit like the "Mona Lisa".

Bit of a "munter", on refreshing myself of her looks from the photo shown there on Diva...

But probably reasonable in bed...

"O" = "Oomz" per chance..?
