Conversation with Ris

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B9PEvkX-6EE

It was just a matter of time that my conversation with Ris got leaked to the media.. But anyway, I see no shame in the conversation and I am not afraid to admit that was my voice..

1. I have feelings, I can dislike ERM. I treated Ris like a friend and seeing how Ris was being put down by the media, I had to stand up for her and care for her.. And besides, I do not wish to take over her position, so its alright if the world wants to know I dislike ERM... For people who know Tracy, I shall reserve my comments why I said not to let Tracy manipulate us..

2. When I mentioned about the lawyer thing, I dun even remember what was the thing I got the lawyer to read anyway since the video only tried to portray the worst side of me.. But I'm just trying to defend both me and her..

3. When I said please lor, I think its because she blamed herself for her past.. And she didn't blame ERM for the mess.. Well, as an ex-friend, I thought she has had it hard enough ler and I dunno the whole truth behind the saga.. Whether she told them before the crowning, after crowning or whether they found it out from the press.. She told me when it was, but it doesn't matter..

4. I said I had no back injury because I didn't want her to worry!!! But apparently even white lies are lies lar, she wanna use my lie against me, I can't do anything.. I did fall, but it appeared to be not that serious since Dr Loo had no trouble getting me back in good shape to walk for a longer time without too much pain.. Except I can't jog for a month.. I can only do yoga, pilates or swimming..

That's pretty much my side of the story.. I'm not being a two headed snake, I never said I liked the organisers nor did I pretend to be a favourite.. I'm just being myself and trying to get myself out of this mess.. Even if I am not crowned, I don't think there is anything to be ashamed of.. Its the best of both worlds for me! I can study French in December if I dun have to go South Africa! Hurray! :)

Back Injury Results

Well, Dr Loo discovered a minor slip in my spine.. She needs to see me for the next few months on a monthly basis and I have to take medication to be fully recovered..

Dr Loo said its alright to walk and walk on heels, but no exercising.. Guess I have to freeze my fitness first membership..

Dr Loo said the fall didn't have an great impact on my fall, so that's all good.. :)

5th Oct 2009: Matcha Strawberry Shortcake

Mad about Matcha and strawberry shortcake? So I made a strawberry short cake topped off with Matcha Mousse..

Two layers of sponge genoise.. sandwiching Strawberries and creme patissiere.. Topped off with Matcha mousse.. Only problem was that my matcha powder which aunt nicole bought for me from Taiwan was a little bitter.. XP
 
So the poor cake turned out a little bitter.. XP

Ris still the best: Runner-up

by Teo Xuanwei

05:55 AM Sep 30, 2009

IN THE eyes of the public, she is a disgrace. At the hands of the media, she was vilified.
But Miss Singapore World 2009 Ris Low Yi Min is still the "best" - in the words of the woman who is set to take her crown, pageant runner-up Claire Lee.
"Even up to now, I'd still want Ris to represent Singapore at the finals in South Africa," she said.
"In terms of stage performance, her poise and catwalk, she was the best and deserved to win."
Even as competition rules stipulate that Ms Lee, 23, is next in line to assume the crown, the Nanyang Technological University aerospace engineering graduate is not riled by pageant organiser ERM World Marketing's announcement that it "will be interviewing a new representative to represent Singapore at Miss World 2009".
"I'm neutral about it, really. ERM probably wants to be more careful after all that has happened," she said matter-of-factly and added that she had not received any calls from ERM, when MediaCorp interviewed her last night.
So, would she accept the invitation to represent Singapore?
Ms Lee would "need to discuss with (her) parents first". "But if I go, I'll do my best and try to make a difference," she said.
Is she worried her background would be the next to come under intense public scrutiny?
Ms Lee admitted it was "something that (she) thought about for a while ... but I don't think I have anything to hide, so it's okay".
Describing herself as "probably Ris' closest friend during the pageant", Ms Lee said her last phone calls to Ms Low on Saturday went unanswered.
"I think she has enough problems and headaches now, so I don't want to disturb her further."
Ms Low later sent her an SMS to say she was fine.
And despite the public outcry over Ms Low's credit card fraud conviction, Ms Lee was resolute in her support for the former, whom she described as "someone who shares; very easy-going and helpful".

Miss Singapore World Saga: I (Claire Lee) am Innocent!!

  I have been framed!! Again!! What I learnt from the pageant? It doesn’t pay to be kind?? But I shall not let this take me down, I will still be the honest and sincere person I have always been.. Except that its time to wake up and learn to judge people dear.. Apparently being honest and sincere was my downfall for the entire pageant.. Everything happened because I was too trusting.. The only reason why I bother to write this is to let everyone in my life who cared about me know the truth from what has been pointed at me..

1. I did fall down and I have history of back injury:

 

This is the receipt which I saw the doctor on Wednesday.. Dr Loo cured me in 2007 and here I have, the receipt from 2007.. I have receipt from 2 years ago.. Yes.. I keep receipts.. In dated order..

Dr Loo only sees patients on Monday, Wednesday and Friday.. So I saw her on Wednesday since I fell on Monday.. I guess I can only blame my clumsiness and coincidence..  But I went for X-ray on Thursday and since the X-ray would be mailed to Dr Loo, I can only see her tomorrow, which is Monday..

With history in back problems, I can’t guarantee my health conditions, so it is only right that I told the press the truth.. Its alright now, I dun feel much pain anymore, especially after Dr Loo has helped me straightened my spine.. Hopefully she allows me to start exercising tml.. Or else I will turn into a fat pig after stopping my exercise for so long..

Ris claimed it wasn’t serious.. I hope it isn’t serious too… Cuz when it was serious, I would even cry from the pain.. But recording my conversation with her was something I did not know.. But I know I didn’t want to let her worry since I still treated her as a friend.. And since I felt better, I can’t be going,” Oh!! I’m on a wheel chair and I’m in pain!!” right?

2. I did not tell the media about the credit card case..

Since I did not do it, I have no evidence to show I didn’t do it..  But the only evidence I have is the straits times reporter telling me that her colleague got the tip off from someone else and the sponsor informing about the news:

    

On the left was my conversation with the straits times reporter yesterday and it says how they got hold of the story and on the right shows the date and time when I first knew the story, from someone I knew, who sms-ed about the story.. I probably knew about the story later than most people who has been following the entire saga… But what I said is in green for people who do use the iphone..

The nonsense about me crying and her telling me her probation story is utter rubbish.. The only thing she has done is really encourage me and gave me support which I have been telling the press about.. You can watch my razortv below:

Some people think I am pretentious and faking to be nice.. But seriously, I have people who also laughed and me for trying to speak up for her.. But I felt someone should really speak up for her.. I don’t exactly speak the best English, but I’ll try to improve on it.. This was filmed on a Thursday and I called her on Friday to see if she was alright and to offer her help on an issue which I do not wish to mention.

But in the end I had my conversation recorded and I have no idea why she would tell the press I faked my injury.. Maybe cuz I told her I had no injury since it was Friday when I called her, and I fell on Monday.. And neither do I understand what she meant by she wanted people to know I am not as ‘pure’ as I seem.. Huh? What pure? Was I trying to look pure?

Oh well, basically this is all the evidence and truth to all the false accusations pointed at me. I really hope this can clear my name..

More mango cuteness

My Break Up

Just a little recollection of my break up:
Life suddenly seemed so uncertain and bleak without him.. I miss him so much... One month has pass since our breakup. I think I am coping better than I thought i could, but yet, three and a half years of memories just seemed so hard to get past...
It is very true that you will never treasure something until it is gone.. Especially true for this breakup I must say...
But sometimes in life, we just have to learn to let go. A quarrelling relationship of more than 5 times a week is just not a healthy one.. I’m sure we have chosen the right path for ourselves. Hopefully he can find someone who loved him more than I do and the same for myself..
We shared so much in 3.5 years, especially going on a few trips and almost 24 hours together when there was school.. I’m sure we have learnt alot from each other.. I wish him all the best and hope the one he loves can make him happy..
