Back again! Had dinner with JY, YJ, QQ and some of JY's friends from Peirce 5A2 on Friday to celebrate JY's birthday which falls on today. Happy Birthday pal!

Had test that day and headed to Bugis Junction at 4pm to meet YJ and JY. We stoned outside Seiyu until about 6pm before we sat in PastaMania to wait for the rest. Was a long wait. I read the pocket menu time and again to kill boredom. Then JY's female classmates arrived first. QQ came at almost 7pm. I think one of JY's guy friends got lost and he came very late. I killed time by reading newspapers and Cleo mag and talking to QQ and YJ. JY was busy with her friends and taking pics with her own and other people's phones. Haha...

When that guy finally came, we ordered our food. I had Set B which consisted of garlic bread and minestrone soup and topped it up with potato salad. Quite satisfying. Loved the bread. QQ had the same set but his salad was different. YJ and JY shared pasta and pizza.

Everything went fine until JY called home to ask about Idol results. Maia and Sly were at bottom 2 and *gasp* Maia was out! I almost dropped my fork when I heard that. Almost had the urge to throw the dishes on the floor. OK. Maybe I'm exaggerating but I was certainly disappointed with the outcome. Maia's rendition of Objection was great. It was a tough song and she did justice to it. Maybe people were bored with her same style every week but hey, at least she has her own style. Isn't that good? She ain't gorgeous but she certainly has stage presence. Her voice ain't perfect but she can certainly sing better than Ms Khoo and Mr Lee. Those 2 should be out. So far only Jerry's elimination is justifiable. QQ suspects that maybe it was arranged by the producers.

Enough about that. It's our loss. The voters would regret it when our Idol gets slammed by Simon Cowell on World Idol. Back to the dinner. After dinner, we had cake bought by JY's friends. Of course we took pics.

The only spoilsport was the rain. We had to cancel our plans of going to Esplanade after dinner. We had to settle on taking pics along the corridor at Bugis Junction. After her friends left, the 4 of us hanged around to chat and wait for my cab. Gave JY her present. We got her a compact and a personalised calendar. My taxi came at almost 11pm. Reached home at 11.30pm.

Hope to see them again soon. Maybe for my birthday which I haven't made plans yet. Will plan something after my exam end. Would be free after next Tuesday.
