no, don't be silly, i don't mean the japanese hair wax gatsby, but the character Gatsby from F. Scott Fitzgerald's "The Great Gatsby". don't want to explain here cause most people won't understand anyway cause not many people have read that book before. i'm reading the book for the maybe 10th time because it was my Alvl literature text as well as my EN1101E literature text, but also, a book that i read when i've got nothing to do. :)

ah. anyways, i finally finished all my midterms already! YEY! :D and i went to the library yesterday to borrow some books. one on censorship in china, the other on female representation in american media. started on the censorship one already. lols. i feel like a nerd. bleah. but i think it'll be a good read cause anyway i'm taking a module on new media this semester.

had my second meeting with One-Five yesterday and it was quite good. but it's going to be a challenge cause we have 5more new members in the team - FINALLY. girls! now the team is equal in our boy-girl ratio 5:5. whee. but yeah, it's still going to be challenge because we have to build the trust and bonding again. but i believe that we & i can. ^^ had really cute feedback from the members. they said that yvonne who is actually the youngest child in her family looks like the eldest child, and me, who's actually the eldest looks like an only child. hmm. to some extent, i guess it's true. i've got both the confidence and insecurity of the only child and the youngest child, so many people think that i don't have siblings. cute.

was talking to Qiao yesterday again and it's decided that we, or at least i will be having "graduation trips" every year! i mean, why wait 4years before you go on one when you can go on one every year. of course, financially it's going to be a stretch because now that i'm financially "independent" somewhat, my parents aren't really going to finance all my whims and fancies. so obviously, i have to work.

our first destination, Australia! for many many reasons, but mostly because we both unanimously agreed that we want to go to all the "world worlds" or in more formal terms the THEME PARKS! not only the crazy roller coaster rides, but all the running around the theme park and watching the parades, take tons of pictures. OMG! and also, gives me more motivation to work towards the grossly underweight (not literally. hahas.) figure that i want - so that we can wear BIKINIS to the water worlds and splash the whole day long. :P but the plans are still very, extremely flimsy. we want to go to sydney too and maybe melbourne (to visit my dear dania if she's there.) and obviously there will be someone else on my list, without fail. hee. and anyway, i wanted to go to australia too cause it's easier to count currency because the exchange rates are very very close. so yeap. i don't need to convert how much i need to spend into another amount. maths and quelyn just don't work out.

our second and third destinations have not been discussed, but our actual graduation trip, after year4 will definitely be a backpacking trip to somewhere. destination undecided. another actual graduation trip after year4 with JY & Nic, our long, long overdue ROAD TRIP. now that they both have bfs that can drive, we'll just bring one of them along. or both of them can bring their bfs along and i'll just be the 5th person. lols. unless there's a 6th person that wants to come along, but it's highly unlikely.

thinking about it makes me more motivated to save money and of course earn money. hee.
