American Idol

The winner of the American Idol is Kris Allen. Kris is very versatile and can make use of instruments well. It seemed that many expected Adam Lambert to win. I think that Adam should have won. I liked the song that he sang - Mad World. It was nice. Here is the link. Hope you like it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YyyESHqT9a4

Hello

Hi! I have not been posting for quite some time. Today I will be posting about what happened today. Before that, I am delighted to annouce that Liverpool had been held to a 4-4 draw at Anfield. Now, Manchester United have will have a higher chance to win the title as they have two games in hand.

Today.

8-8.40am
Miss Lim was absent so a relief teacher came. We did some worksheets.

8.40-9.20am
It was PE. We learnt about how to pass the baton during relays. Although the sun was like a blazing ball of fire, I had fun.

9.20am-10am
It was reccess and almost everyone rushed to the poolside to buy a drink to cool themselves down after PE.

10am-now
Before I posted this post, the computer was lagging and made me a little frustrated.

now-later
I hope I will have a wonderful day today.

Formula 1

It's another day of the week. However, it is not just any other day of the week. It is Saturday and today, there will be a qualifying session. As the title shows, I will be posting about F1.
In the practice session, Williams' Nico Rosberg was the fastest with a timing of 1:35.133.


Q1(First session and 15 drivers get into Q2.)
Man of the session: Jenson Button. Stunning performance by him.

Q2(Second session and 10 drivers get into Q3.)
Man of the session: Sebastien Vettel. It was totally shocking. He came out in the last few minutes and did not even set a timing until the last seconds of the session. He got position 1!

Q3(Third session and this will decide the drivers position.)
Man of the session: Sebastien Vettel. Amazing. I don't believe it. He got position 1 in the last few moments of the session.

Kimi Raikkonnen got position 8 and that is quite good.Felipe Massa got position 13 and I don't think that is really nice position because it is really going to be tough to overtake the other cars.

Hopefully Ferrari will make a comeback in tomorrow's race. Don't forget to vote for your favourite F1 team.

Health

Nowadays, Singaporeans are becoming more health conscious. I believe many food poisoning cases caused more Singaporeans to be more health conscious.

Recently, there were cases of food poisoning. I think that this is a serious matter as there are many bad effects.

Firstly, people will get sick and have to recuperate at the hospital. Sometimes, they have to endure the acute pain from their stomachs.

Secondly, tourism rate may be affected. Tourists, soon after eating contaminated food, enters the hosipital to get treated, will think that Singapore serve lousy quality food.

Thridly, affecting the owners' business. People may not trust the stall as much as they did in the past. Other people may think twice before ordering food from the stall. The owners themselves may be charged.

In my opinion, I think that owners can be more responsible. That way, people can eat happily and not in fear.

If you have any opinions, please share.

F1

This is amazing! I just read this online article about F1. The link: http://www.espnstar.com/motorsport/f1/news/detail/item232707/Brawn-GP-take-honours-in-Australia/

Jenson Button clinched his first pole position for three years on a day of disaster for Lewis Hamilton. This is the first time in 38 races neither a Ferrari of McLaren is on the front row, underlining the major impact of the new regulations.

The first ten drivers are:
1. Jenson Button 1:26.202
2. Rubens Barrichello 1:26.505
3. Sebastien Vettel 1:26.830
4. Robert Kubica 1:26.914
5. Nico Rosberg 1:26.973
6. Timo Glock 1:26.975
7. Felipe Massa 1:27.033
8. Jarno Trulli 1:27.127
9. Kimi Raikkonnen 1:27.163
10. Mark Webber 1:27.246


Wow! Amazing!

Newspaper Article

Today, I will be talking about a newspaper article I read today. The topic is abusing of maids. This is an event-driven story. I chose this article as I think many people are bullying and abusing people and I want to tell everyone about the seriousness of this.

The article can be found in the Home section of today's newspaper. The page is B4. It is actually about a mother-daughter pair abusing maid. When I first read this article, I was indeed appalled to see that some Singaporeans still abuse maids. I could not believe that they could actually abuse her till she escaped.

They admitted grabbing the maid's hair, slapping and hitting her and stamping on the maid's leg.This led to the maid escaping from the fifth-floor flat and found refuge at a mosque.

I personally feel that the pair was a bit over the board. We hire maids to help do housework, not abuse them. If you were the person being abused, how would you feel? Probably you would think that fighting back is an option. However, if you were the only one in Singapore as you wanted to earn money and send some back to support your family, you are most probably vulnerable. I nearly forgot, you are most probably a boy so you would not become a maid. However, just put yourself into their shoes.

Please leave your valuable comments.

Poll

As you can see, I made a poll about F1. I thought it would be a good time to make a poll about this as F1 will be starting soon. Actually it had already started yesterday. Yesterday was practice. Today will be the qualifying and tomorrow will be the actual race.

In my own opinion, I think that Ferrari is the best team and I might consider making a poll about which is your favourite team. I think Kimi Raikkonen is the best driver in Ferrari although Felipe Massa is equally good.

Feel free to vote.

Ferrari fan wishes everyone a good weekend.
