Today I went to Orchard, more specifically Kinokuniya, 'cause stay at home will die of boredom de.
So I was walking past the Hyatt hotel and I passed by Woannni and her bunch of friends. Her group and I were walking too fast so I didn't get to say 'hi' properly to her, but I was not too concerned at the moment 'cause I was gonna reach the heavenly bookstore of all geeks, Kinokuniya!(But it was a tremendous morale boost anyways =D=D=D)
And what a heaven, chock a block of English, Chinese and Japanese manga! Oh, and children's books in Japanese too! I saw 2 young boys reading it and have some sort of discussion, like it was a philosophy. It was some kinda Pokemon book. I felt abit stupid, watching anime for so long, yet still not understanding what the book was about, or their discussion. Then the mother of one boy came to pick him up.
Kinokuniya attracts Geek Males and their gender counterpart the Geek Female. I saw a couple of young Geek Females that were still XiaoMeiMei, which is nice. Japanese have
made me appreciate the Delicious Flat Chest.
Then I saw the stereotypical Geek Female. THE FAT YAOI GIRL(FYG). The FYG is the direct counterpart of the Nerd. She's fat, into girlish men gay-ing with each other, and more disgustingly, openly discusses it. There were 2 of them, but in order to preserve my morale I decided not to observe them.
Since Kinokuniya attracts little Japanese boys, it will likewise bring the middle aged women with them. They usually buy magazines, and have a husband and stroller with them. I feel that Japanese may be trying for a 2nd invasion of Singapore, this time with Anime and little boys to win us over with cute-ness(or as they say, KAWAII DESU NE~)
In the end I bought the "Bleach Official Bootleg", the 3rd volume of Yotsuba&!(which Gaius knows about, which I was so stunned to learn) and Climbing Mount Improbable by Richard Dawkins(author of The God Delusion).
I've already read Climbing Mount Improbable, but it's good book about Evolution so I bought it.
I ate some Japanese grilled fish for dinner with my Mom. Then to complete my pilgrimage of Japanesee stuff, I bought a 1GB memory stick for my phone so I can watch Anime and Sentai on my phone. Sweet!
All in all, a good day.
