Hollywood Exchange (http://www.hsx.com/) is a website where you can trade on shares based on stars (like actors/actresses, singers, etc...), movies, studios, and options on events like Oscars, and of course American idol. each idol share starts at H$12 and is cashed out at H$2 multiplied by the position in which they are eliminated (e.g. David Hernandez is cashed out at H$2, Amanda Overmyer is cashed out at H$4), so i believe that the current price of each idol is a good estimate of their popularity with the public. let's see how this matches up with my estimation:

Kristy Lee Cook - H$7.19 (correct)
Ramiele Maluby - H$9.40
Syesha Mercado - H$9.66
Chikezie - H$9.66 (correct)
Micheal John - H$13.04
Jason Castro - H$13.69 (correct)
David Cook - H$14.99
Brooke White - H$15.90(correct)
Carly Smithson - H$16.03
David Archuletta - H$18.11(correct)

5 out of 10, hmmm that's 50% correct. let's wait for the actual results and compare again.

on another note, this week is full of 21st birthdays! i just celebrated Zhiping's, whom i have known for 8+ years. he just treated 4 of us (RJ, nick, nel n me) Ding Tai Feng, so too bad for rebecca who was too sick to come.

Mr Cheong Zhi Ping

Ding Tai Feng Food

Me, Nelson & Zhiping

Nicholas & Ru Jiao

However his official celebration was on sat when he was the poor victim of his army mates, who stripped him, shaved off almost all his pubic hair and poured Listerine and squeezed toothpaste all over his body. they also videoed him and are intending to post it on youtube, so for those of you who wants to see his agony, search youtube.

i am also celebrating a cell member's 21st birthday this friday, and another this saturday, so i am/will be very broke!

sigh! i am still up at this ungodly hour not to mindlessly surf the web, but actually to complete some of the reports that were due last week, so i guess i better end of here.

By the way, Happy (belated) Birthday to the following:

Ivan Quah - 8th March
David Koh - 17th March
Cheong Zhi Ping 21st Birthday - 24th March
Joseph Lor - 25th March
Charles You 21st Birthday - 27th March
