I just had a long chat with Big Banana. After I had got annoyed at him for the trillionth time, he decided to explain to me what his job entails. Gawd, I feel so bad for annoying him now. -_- He’s a really talented digital illustrator, and he took the time to send me his portfolio, and then proceeded to tell me in detail how each advertisement was done. Throughout the entire thing, you could sense that each of his advertisements was his own pride and joy. He could remember exactly how many pictures it took to make up the composite image, how long it took him to work on the picture, how he had to touch up ants (and even where he had to go to catch aforementioned ants), how the clients acted towards him… “Each of these pieces that I’ve shown you is my hardest work. In fact, all my pieces that I’ve ever done is my hardest work. So now you know why I may not have time to talk to you sometimes.” I felt so guilty after he said that. Not only because I’ve been utterly and totally bratty, but because despite all that, he still took the time to talk to me. He could’ve gone home earlier tonight, but no, he insisted on giving details on every single artwork. You don’t know how bad I feel now.
And what’s more, he said he had a presentation tomorrow, but he still sat up with me to chat. Insisted on sending me these sappy chinese mp3s. When I told him that I like the Sony Note advertisement the most, he said that his entire house back in SA was filled with the campaign posters, “Wanna come see?” We always ajak-ajak ayam (insincere invitation) because we know we both really wouldn’t go to the other person’s house. But he said he would take pictures of everything and send it to me. And he said, “How about your friend? Does she want a picture of my brother’s bedroom as well? I take also la. I’m sure she’ll be very happy.” See how nice he is? He really remembers stuff that you tell him, despite him being busy and all.
Despite all his retouching skills, he could even compliment me on my so-called pixel art. 
He wants a pixel art of himself. And he wants me to draw one of him with long hair (gross). Said that my English name should be Jinny so that we could have compatible names. That was so silly. But sweet. ^_^
But seriously, his future girlfriend is one lucky chick. He was telling me about how he plans to serenade his girl (currently non existent) with this chinese song by David Tao. I have no idea what the song is, but he said that he chose a chinese song, because firstly – he’s a banana (a chinese person who doesn’t speak chinese), so learning a chinese song shows more sincerity. Secondly – because he feels that chinese songs have more sentimental value. I know I’ve rambled off an entire post for Big Banana, but I can’t help it, I feel so guilty now. I feel guilty when I have a good friend who I have been bullying / misunderstanding.
Ken isn’t making me feel any better. He is calling me a meanie, and I deserve it. Oh, gosh. :\ The thing is, I apologised to Big Banana, and he just said, no it’s ok, I didn’t do this for apologies, just for you to understand. T_T
But it will be in 2 months time. 
By then you’ll probably have a boyfriend, and you won’t be free anymore.
