Malay: Aduh! Lagu pertama yang dinyanyikan oleh Fantasia Barrino itu teruk sangat. Entah kenapa dia hanya menyanyi kadang-kala... maksud saya, dia tidak nyanyi melodi utama. Teruk! Saya hampir pasti dia akan kalah. Diana DeGarmo lebih persis--dua lagu pertamanya sungguh memuaskan dan lagu terakhirnya baik juga. Akan tetapi, Fantasia juga bukanlah sederhana aje. Lagu keduanya 'Summertime' (Waktu Musim Panas) pernah dinyanyikannya dahulu tetapi masih dapat menarik hati penonton.

Lagu terakhirnya juga lagu pertama Diana, tapi dia menyanyikan lagu itu dengan cara tersendirinya. Diana juga menyanyi lagu itu dengan baik, tetapi saya lebih gemar versi Fantasia kerana suaranya tidak senyaring Diana (Pada pendapat saya, Diana itu seperti menjerit-jerit semasa menyanyi nota musik yang tinggi). Jadi, saya masih akan sokong Fantasia!

English: Oh! The first song by Fantasia Barrino was soooo terrible. I wonder why she only sings once in a while...what i mean is, she doesn't sing the main melody. Terrible! I was nearly sure she would lose. Diana DeGarmo was more consistent--her first 2 songs were impressive and her last song not bad either. However, Fantasia is not just a commoner. her second song 'Summertime' was sung by her before but she could still captivate the audience.

Her last song was also the first song by Diana, but she sang it in her own special way. Diana also sang the same song well, but I still prefer the Fantasia version because her sound is not as piercing as Diana (In my opinion, Diana was sort of like shouting through the high musical notes). So, I will still support Fantasia!

OK, other stuff...
The TJC sports carnival started off yesterday and will end today. At first I didn't get any games that I chose to take part in, so I decided to just slack around. Well, in the end I actually joined my CG (civics group) in the 'Ultimate Frisbee' competition. Yesterday was the Intra-house competitions. My CG beated 3 CGs to enter the finals. We met CG18/03 in the finals--they reached the finals by playing only one game while the other 2 games were won because they "walked-over" (no CG came to compete with them). Anyway, after scoring 1-1 the rain became too heavy and the game stopped there. Both our CG's were declared winners of the Intra-house competition.

We didn't have much luck today however. It was the Inter-house Competition and we were against Alpha, Gamma and Delta houses in 3 matches. Other group comprised of both CG 02/03 and CG 18/03. We lost 2-0 to Gamma, tied 1-1 with Alpha, and lost 4-0 to (the strong, fast and coordinated) Delta. Anyway, Delta won 1st, Gamma 2nd, Alpha and Beta tied at 3rd. Oh well, at least we got some free towels (Can bring it to the gym next time!)!

Went to Golden Mile complex at Lavender to buy bus tickets back home yesterday. I actually couldn't find a bus that went to Batu Pahat at first. After searching around for some time, I found 'Maju'. My bus ticket was (relatively) cheaper than Yi Cheng's, Wai Kit's or Ching Mien's, but it is still the most expensive bus ticket I have bought to travel back to Batu Pahat (S$13/=!!!!). I think I might use the 'MRT-Bus 170-Larkin-KKKL bus' route again next time. It's more time-consuming though...
