The Science of Lying: Decption, Demeanour and Assessment

Spent $50 to attend a seminar on lying at school...

Probably because I spent good money on it... I walked to the train station in the dizzle and freezing cold after I missed the bus... It was quite a surreal experience to walk in the rain... Got to school in wet jeans, jacket and hair... Spent the rest of the day freezing in the lecture hall...

In between Dr. Mark Frank's talk on micro-expression, nonverbal communication and culture differences... I drift in and out of dreamland... Including smacking my head on the table and gathering unwanted attention... Guess it's due to me only taking 2 of the allocated 30 winks the previous night...

All in all, the seminar (the part I was awake) was informative and interesting... Dr. Mark Frank, a lecturer at the University at Buffalo, State University of New York is a great engaging speaker who made good use of videos to capture the attention of the crowd... The lecture hall was about 80% filled with more then 50% of the crowd being from law enforcement... Another half day tml!

Noticed those little circular ceramic thing-a-ling-ling moulded into the kerbs on the road of Grand Boulevard Drive... Cute little things, each one different... I wonder if there's a story behind this creations...

And another one...

And another one!

Took this sunset photo while waiting for the bus... Lousy photo... But I will post it anyway...
