F1 future stars

There may be many failures in GP2, but some of them are lucky and got a F1 drive, like Karun Chandhok and Nicolas Kiesa, who drove for Minardi for 1 season. There are also good drivers but could not perform in the feeder series but shone in F1, like Damon Hill and Felipe Massa. Some don't have experience at all, but they got F1 drives because of sponsership money like Giovanna Amati and Kimi Raikkonen. Some good drivers failed because they do not have sponsership, like Bjorn Widhelm and Vincenzo Sospiri. So now lets look at some other young drivers who are getting a F1 drive.
The most possible ones are Davide Valsecchi and Pastor Maldonaldo, both driving for isport and Barwa Addax respectively in GP2. Maldonado was close to signing with Renault, but it opted for Vitaly Petrov in the last minute. Valsecchi's reputation have grown much over the last few months. having won the GP2 Asia series. The other possibilities are Ho Pin Tung of DAMS and Alvaro Parente who last drove for Ocean Racing. Tung is linked strongly with Renault because of sponsership. The other choices are Sebestian Loeb and Valentino Rossi, WRC and MotoGP legends who were linked with Red Bull and Ferrari for almost three years. Don't think they will succeed though. Come on, not everyone is Kimi Raikkonen or John Surtees.
Jumping series are not a good idea, as Jaime Alguersuari and Martin Brundle would demonstrate. Both their careers are not as good as Vitaly Petrov and Ayrton Senna, who they thrashed in Formula three.

Journal of Hari(intrapersonal)

Dear diary,
Today have been a pretty wonderful day for me. I have been on a journey to Bombay all this day. Now, I am nearer to it than ever-I am in Rewas. The past few months have been too much for me. Old Biju's ship might have been built by now, but I certainly don't care about it. All I want is to prevent the stupid government to build factorys on Thul's land. They certainly will be importing those city workers and I will only get a job of a cleaner who earns a measly sum of money. Who wants them? I would rather work for Biju-if he wants me to.
So here I am in Rewas, waiting for the ship to take me to Bombay. I wonder how Lila was doing with that stupid father. Do they have the cash? I am worried. But, there is no turning back. Only me can help my family escape poverty and protect our lands. I shall return in PRIDE.
Love,
Hari

F1 review up to Malaysian GP

I know this got nothing to do with class, but I would just like to write about F1. Let me review the cars. Red Bull have the fastest car but is it so horrifyingly unreliable. Mercedes is not up to the standard yet. Ferrari has the complete package and Mclaren have a car which sucks at qualifying but is good in races. Force India proves to be best of the rest and Williams are not far behind. The new Renault is doing wonders in the hands of Robert Kubica but the car is rubbish. Toro Rosso and Sauber are not quite on the pace yet and Ferrari engines have not been proven to be reliable. For the new teams, Lotus is reliable and the fastest out of the three. Virgin is constantly on the pace of Lotus while Hispania certainly improved and is much more reliable.
For the drivers, Alonso outpacing Massa at Ferrari, Vettel so much better than Webber at RBR and Rosberg proving the better one than Schumacher in Mercedes. While in Mclaren, things are quite even. Force India is quite weird actually. Sutil always outpaces Liuzzi in qualifying but can't get to grips in the race. Barrichello, Kubica and Glock are humilating Hulkenburg, Petrov and Di Grassi in Williams, Renault and Virgin respectively and Lotus and Hispania remains even, even though Trulli and Chandhok are starting to gain upper hand.
The new season was certainly boring if not because of the rain in qualifying in Malaysia messed up the grid and the leading drivers have to climb up the positions in order to score points. Surely, this is not going to be one of the worse seasons right?

Term 1 Hwa Chong review

I have been in Hwa Chong Institution for the past term and I have learned a lot of new things. But for now, I would like to review the past term. From the day I stepped into Hwa Chong, I knew that there were something different between the school and other schools in Singapore. First of all, Hwa Chong have a very big campus. If I were to walk from gate2 all the way to boarding school, it might take me 10 minutes or more. Not many schools are able to do that.
Secondly, there are two canteens, one in the college section and one in the high school section. There is also a poolside cafe in the swimming pool and I heard there is an ice cream stall somewhere in the school. The school's facilities includes swimming pool, field, gymnasium, table tennis room and more.
For academic, I am pretty satisfied with my results. The results I have achieved are Maths:A1, Chinese:A1, Science:A2. I hope to do better from term 2 onwards. I would like to ask my friends from primary six this year to select HCI if they can, as Hwa Chong is one of the only schools that have a lot of computer labs and auditoriums.etc.

Continuation of the story

It was up to the young man to save his life. Will he or will he not follow the princess' instructions and marry the girl behind the right door? As the young man slowly dragged his feet and walked towards the right door, he thought of all the happy moments that he and the princess spent together. "I cannot do this." the young man said, " I would rather die than to marry a stranger!"
With a brave look on his face, the young man turned towards the left door, the deadly one. "No!" the princess shouted. " The tiger is inside the left door!"
The reaction of the king was somehow the entirely opposite of his daughter. As the young man was approaching the door, the king laughed eviliy, thinking that the threat will be gone forrever.
The young man grabbed the handle of the door and looked at the princess one last time. The princess, was crying a lake of tears and did not see the young man looking at him. "Goodbye, my love." the prince whispered. Then, he opened the path to darkness...
Out of the door pounced a ferocious looking tiger who have not eaten anything for three days. The young man closed his eyes, enjoying what might be his final moments of his life."Grrr!!!" roared the tiger. Even hearing the roaring of the tiger freaked everyone in the arena out. The tiger pounced at the young man. Suddenly, it stopped. "What happened?" asked the king furiously. As the young man opened his eyes slowly, he saw the tiger standing in front of him, licking his face in a familiar manner. " Bungo, is that you?" the young man asked.
After seeing the familiar scar of the tiger, he regconised it to be Bungo, the tiger cub that he raised some time ago when he was a kid. The princess was very relieved. She jumped up and down the seat like a mad woman, shouting" He is saved! " The king was so surprised by the unexpected turn of events that his false teeth dropped out of his mouth and finally agreed the marraige of the two of them. Bungo, well, it had became the royal pet for the family!
