Hey! Say! JUMP ASIA FIRST TOUR 2012 in Hong Kong

I bought the tickets to their extra show!!!

The tickets didn't get sold out in 10 minutes this time :3

I'm so glad they opened two extra shows to feed the demand!

*spins around*



I know, the seats are not really good but if I had known my parents would let me go to Hong Kong instead of Thailand, I would have purchased it in the morning right when the tickets for their extra shows go on sale.

Well, going to their concert in Thailand would be awesome too but I guess it's a bit packed in May for me to fly over to Thailand and getting the tickets will be another headache.

But I still can't believe I'm going to Hong Kong to watch their first Asia tour :)

I guess I need to see the tickets in person before the thought of going to their concert knocks into my head.

It feels really good to finally be able to see the four three boys!

I just hope I don't fall out of love with them all of a sudden! :)

The Forest, The Mountain and The Man

I'm going to touch on 3 Japanese fashion trend that has recently became popular.

Well, I'm not going to talk about the gyaru, visual kei or lolita fashion, that's for sure.

Instead, it'll be about the forest, the mountain and the man.

Recently I've been hearing a lot about Mori Girls, Yama Girls and Oji Girls.

These three fashion trends has become increasingly popular nowadays.

Mori Girls

Mori = Forest in Japanese



Basically a mori girl is a forest girl in literal translation.

Mori girls love to wear earthy clothes. Earthy colours. Basically earthy.

I don't know but to me, this fashion style smells of spring,






And I actually really really love this fashion style (especially the last two pictures)

The colours and the dresses are so pretty.

But they do hell lots of layering and it's nearly impossible to do layering in Singapore.

Yama Girls

Yama = Mountain in Japanese



So yama girls, as the name tells you, dress like they're on the mountain.

They're definitely more active looking and dress in bright colours.

The way they dress is definitely fit to climb a mountain or to go trekking.

Pretty yet comfortable.






I like the bright colours. I mean, they look so cheerful and active.

The outfit in the last picture is my favourite!

But then again, there aren't any mountains in Singapore that is suitable for you to dress like this (just hills).

I mean, it'll be a little weird if you're all dressed up to hike but end up walking around Orchard road shopping.

Oji Girls

Oji = Uncle



Oji girls dress in man's outfits.

Not literally man's outfits but man-inspired outfits.

Suit, Pants, Vests, Shirts....

This style seems really popular this few months.

Might be because it's Winter and this outfit seems pretty warm.






I kind of like the suits :3

This fashion style looks like it will be suitable for working though.

I like it when it's matched with shorts!

But I guess you can't look manly to wear this or else you can easily be mistaken as the opposite sex.


Actually, I only got to know Mori Girls on LJ. I've heard about Yama Girls from this Japanese variety show I was watching. Oji Girl was because I tried googling for Mori Girls and Yama Girls :3

I thought it was rather interesting to be reading up on such stuff! So I thought I should write it down somewhere, so here it is! :)

I would say that I like the Mori Girls best :3 Followed by the Oji Girls :)

Do Animals have their own Languages?

I'm going to sound really weird asking this question. Well, I've asked a few of my friends this and all of them thought that my thoughts were weird and quirky.

But here's the question: Do animals have their own language?

By language, I don't mean barking or mooing.

I'll like to think barking and mooing as sounds animals make. But as to whether each bark has a meaning behind it, nobody can be sure of that.

Sure, dogs bark at each other. But humans scream at each other too.

You don't really need to understand what the person is saying to guess what he means. You can interpret what the person is saying by the tone and body language. I can be screaming "SADUHBASUDASOD" to someone at the top of my voice with a really fierce face and the person probably knows I'm furious. That's animals' and humans' natural instinct to tell danger.

There are debates as to whether animals do "speak" to each other or are they just making sounds. So are they able to communicate to each other and speak to each other like how humans do?

If they do have the ability to communicate and understand each other, do they have languages?

Well, here's another question: If you get a cow from Australia and a cow from China and a cow from America, will they be able to understand each other's moos?

I mean, getting people from different parts of the world and putting them together, they won't be able to understand each other, no? People speak different languages. If it wasn't for globalization, people from different continents probably won't have met up and learn a common language.

But for animals, they are living in so many different parts of the world. If you were to bring two animals from two different poles of the world and put them together, will they be able to understand each other?

Or do animals have an universal language that all of them understand?

If so, how do the animals settle on an universal language?

Then, why don't humans have an universal language too?

Is humans' universal language sounds of laughter and cries? Apparently, those are the only sounds humans from all over the world understand and can relate to.

You have just entered the mind of Michelle and tasted how it feels like to be inside my mind.

I don't know if I'm making sense in this post and delivering my thoughts in a well-planned and understandable manner. I'm not going to proofread this post since I have better things to proofread (like my major project report).

Actually, I would love to hear others' comments on this. Apparently, some of my friends think animals from different places can understand and communicate with each other but when I question them why can't humans do that, they didn't really give me a satisfactory answer.

The only one that gave a satisfactory and logical answer was my brother. But then again, both of us may have the same brain wave and think alike.

So, I really want to hear others' views on this! :D (if I even make any sense to you in the first place!)

And I fell sick...

Here's the story behind the fever I'm having now:



So people started sharing on Facebook the application dates for the Universities in Singapore for Polytechnic students.

Well, I happened to saw it while on Facebook.

And my first reaction was:



WHAT? That's really soon!

Why are the application dates so soon?!

I haven't even thought about universities!

And then I panicked:



OH NO! I haven't thought of where I wanted to go.

And then you have 5 choices to put into the application form:



WHAT 5?!

How am I going to decide the 5 courses that will determine my future?

Well obviously, I can't go into Engineering because my Amaths sucks to the brim.

Then, I will never ever want to go into Computing.

Science.. I doubt I'll survive there.

There's Business but the IGP is really high.

Humanities? I like nothing else other than the course I'm studying now.

So how am I going to fill up the 5 choices wisely?

And I racked my brain over it:



Thinking, thinking, thinking,

Worrying, worrying, worrying.

And I fell sick:




The truth is that...

I was stressed over my Major Project and haven't been sleeping well because of the Major Project.

So I fell sick.

Nothing to do with the university admissions :)

I haven't applied for the universities though. Hehe :)

And drawings were done on my Android ♥
Application: Sketch n Draw.

Drawn within a few minutes so it was really pretty ^^*
