big surprise, Carrie Underwood won american idol.. it was said that Bo Bice would win the competition flat but i guess the results prove the guesses wrong.. my mom and i were discussing on who would win last night.. i said that most probably, Vonzell Soloman(love her!!)'s supporters would vote for carrie.. and Constantine's supporters, as rock fans of his, would vote for carrie because they would not like bo.. soon enough, we came up with a conclusion that carrie would win the competition hands down, but we left it to Fate.. surprising, last night, it was announced that there would be a live telecast of the show from the LA auditorium at 8am.. usually, it would be left to the afternoon or night the next day.. lolz..

the performances by the rest of the top 12 idols were commendable by any standards.. for the past few times, it only resulted in a few songs or medleys by all 1 idols together but this year, it was different.. the first part of the show comprised of the idols performing a beautiful medley and it was followed by one without the top two finalists (namely bo and carrie).. it just didnt seem right to me.. it really feels bad no to sing as one of the two finalists and they were ousted to sing a medley of their own.. it just didnt seem right for me.. but whyat came after came as a pleasant surprie.. the 12 idols performed individual or in small groups with celebrity singers.. of all, i enjoyed anwar's rendition of ' i believe i can fly' with Kenny G.. it showed off his beautiful vocals.. and i actually enjoyed bo's song dedicating his love love to Southern US, Alabama.. quite nice.. it was a nice touch to the final show, it allowed each idol to once again, showcase his/her voice to the world, remembered forever.. :p

but the feel of the final show didnt seem as nice as of that last year.. the excitement and magnificence and glamour was showcased more last year, Fantasia VS Diana.. i just didnt feel it.. but maybe it was because i left my heart with Vonzell.. :p many would agree with me that Vonzell was probably the best female singer.. :p

the day is coming closer.. Chinese Os.. now, we have chinese lessons at the LT/Audi from 7 till about 1040.. left with only 3 more days, i am quite freaked out by the o'levels.. i just hope atht i do quite well for it so i finally heave a sigh of relief for my chinese.. i dunno how well i would do.. but alot of people are doing that last sprint, or chong1 ci4.. but i sincerely appreciate what BY has been doing for us.. he is really trying to allow us to get the desired A1.. he doesnt even mind doing anything.. i know that he is really using his maximum energy.. i guess i will just have to do my best and hit the books.. time to do a rerun of all my sec1-4 books.. with a little ying4 yong4 wen2 and zuo4 wen2 and zao4 ju4 for my sec1-4 work, i'll finish off with a rerun of my cheng2 yu3 and sec1-4 words.. i really hope that we'll do well, we wouldnt want to waste this chance to prove our worth after studying chinese these 3 1/2 - 4 years.. DO WELL AND ACHIEVE YOUR DESIRED A1!

to my bestest peeps: kenny, aaron, rayston, andrew, gerald, bryan. i wish you all the luck for our coming o'levels! may you be blessed by GOD on that day and do your utmost best! let us all get our deserved A1s! GOD BLESS YOU!
