The Manga Festival was... actually quite disappointing. But I suppose even if it was bigger not a lot of people would've arrived. It was a small room, with bookshelves stacked with manga, unfortunately in Japanese. There was a table that had a bunch of devices loaded with their e-Manga program. You could say this event was really solely for advertising their app. That's what it seemed like to me. Some of the Vocaloid arts on the walls were pretty impressive though. Coloring techniques I'd like to try out soon. I filled out a survey and got some free stuff, then me and Jodie headed to Kinokuniya to shop for Manga to support Manga Artists, as per what the festival was promoting too. But then the dilemma of how buying manga here would help support Manga Artists all the way in Japan when the publishing companies are totally different came up, and I ended up not buying anything.
So we went in search for a Mcdonalds, but we forgot on Sundays, most domestic workers have their off day, and Orchard was crowded with them. We left for Toa Payoh to eat instead. Jodie kept bugging me to bring her somewhere fun, like a real couple's date, although the idea of that itself doesn't exactly register in my mind. Either way, we ended up sitting in Mcdonalds, eating, and then talking about apocalypses and robots and zombies and aliens. It was more interesting than I thought, talking to this girl whom I've rejected before like a regular friend. Still, this "date" was the last thing that we agreed to go out of our way to do. She needs to get over me, and I've slightly numbed the pain with this outing today. I still feel... kind of guilty, but... matters of the heart aren't really ever that simple. People fall in love all the time, and I'm still here trying to comprehend it :/
