4:08 AM

(Yesterday = today post)

I totally fell asleep after getting home because it was such a sucky day and I was too tired to care, even though there were around three thousand things for me to do.

Spent last night (last last night. Aiya, the night before pday) helping Zhengyu do his jianbao and Sean with his research on carbon nanotubes, since they're all busy with projects and I have nothing to prepare for, except homework. I've decided to poke my nose in those projects that need help and contribute =)

Oh but if you're doing Cat 1, please. Don't ask for my help.

Because I don't have a project, I'm forced to watch the Cat 1 projects. It's HORRIBLE. Everyone is experimenting about antioxidants.

Antioxidants in wine.
Antioxidants in petai.
Antioxidants in walnuts.
Antioxidants in leaves.
Antioxidants in vegetables.
Antioxidants in camels.

Okay I made the last one up, but it pretty much sums up Cat 1. Cracked a lot of antioxidant jokes with Bo Dong. We wondered what would happen if antioxidants were found to have detrimental effects on the human health.

Bo Dong: Am I an antioxidant? Are you an antioxidant? Can I eat you? Raaaa!

Now I'm anti-antioxidant (which makes me oxidant).

We basically hopped around project venues, like the terrible English ones with war poems and stuff. Blahblahblah.

At least for Cat 1 I gained some knowledge on various science terms such as plasmids, thalassemia, chitin, chelation, rancidification. No, actually I didn't. But it's fun watching the people presenting trying to pronounce them.

HCI has some good speakers, though, even from the science department.

Quotes:

Judge: I seriously doubt you can produce free radicals just by shining light on oil and water.

From a powerpoint slide: Crystals have special healing properties."

There was an interesting Cat 6 (English) project on "Funky Fillers" (THE TITLE SUCKS THE TITLE SUCKS THE TITLE SUCKS).

Fillers are words like "Um", "Uh", "Oh"...

Um okay.

In one slide, the group mentioned how they want to investigate how fillers help in the comprehension of language. (wth)

So Bo Dong asked for an example.

"For example, when you want someone to pick up a red ball, you say, "Can you pick up that yellow, uh, red ball for me?" That 'uh' will actually allow for more time for the listener to spot your mistake."

Uh, whatever.

I'm stressed up.

Sat. Full Dress.

Enough said.

I ain't no third person...

Besides, that uniform roleplay thing + feather dildo Teezhuo suggested is disgusting.

So strange 'no.
