Okay, before I start with anything, I would like to say a big thanks to you, you and you. Okay, on to the story.
Wait, before that... Blogger is fine in GC (Google Chrome). Cool. Moving on.

Okay, after 2 days of showcasing our project, the Biotech Fair is finally over! Yes! Well, in my opinion this is way better than last year's one.

To tell the truth, our team got COP. Don't worry, there are about 20+ teams that got that too. AND there's only 1 gold, 1 silver, 1 bronze ONLY. So, yeah, never mind, it's 'good' enough. The first belongs to err... ( Methodist Girls' School? And the second was... (I can CONFIRM that it's them, since that team was just one exhibit away, i mean, one booth. If you know what I'm talking about.) Hwa Chong Institution. Don't ask me who's the the third, since I had forgot that.

Okay, did I mention that this year was better than last year? Oh yeah, so, let's see...
1) It was held in SSC (Singapore Science Center [Coincidently, it's Sembawang Shopping Center]) -- Unique Location, Yeah!
2) There was less team -- Less team, higher probabilty of getting top 3 (which proved to be quite impossible.)
3) It was held IN SSC (Yes, the word 'IN' says that we are able to walk around the SSC, Yeah!)

First Day
So the first day was when we brought all the laptop (for the presentation slides), specimens, blazers (why did they call that? Maybe when we wear blazers, we get hot.), and the poster (which cost a bomb, and we hadn't claim the money yet.). Yeah, we kinda got lost when we enter the Science Center, but after a while, I got it. The place where we are presenting (Hall C) was just like a dome. So, unlike last year's one, which was more of a like... Lecture Hall. (Come to think of it, it IS a lecture hall.) They tried to save space by putting two booths together instead of separate one, and in the middle of the dome, there's this wide space to roam about. more of a like... (Argh, cannot attach picture. Blogger still has some prob, after all.)

So we were almost the first school to be judged. Dang. But, like any other team, we cannot escape the fact that we had to present them with our projects. And after a while, the judge really came. Last year there was 3 judges (I think), but now there's only 2. And it seemed good. These two judges listen to our presentation, which took about more than 7 minutes, and during the meanwhile Ms Chew was capturing me down using her camera(Actually while I was presenting). Cheese!

And like when you think that's over, the judges will torment you with chains of question (in the part I called: 'The Questioning'. Yeah, the male judge seemed kind enough la, asking us more of an easy-type questions like...

Why do you use the curry leaves for these experiment? And why not try other plants?
So, how do we know that you did not put any other chemical like ethanol inside your solvent in the test? And they say ethanol is anti-bacterial, right?
And there was one time we asked him a qusetion. Do you want to try our soap? (It was my friend who asked the judges. He said...) Yeah, sure. (with a smile) Ooh, nice smell huh? (looked surprise)

There's a saying called (or maybe from lyrics or maybe the lyrics came from this saying, but anyway) 'The female of the species is more deadlier than the male.'. Cool. Female Fatale.
She somehow reminded me of Mrs Chew (no offense) Yeah, her stern look gives me the creeps. The question she asked were like.

There seemed to be some contradictions with your results, I read your report, and in the report results it state that it has a zone of inhibition of 0.7 cm, but in the poster, it states there 18mm (1.8 cm) So, what happened?

And we were like O_o. And also like >;(
That's what we'll get for handing up a not-so-much-edited report. Yeah, my fault. Nice.

So they how we 'push and shove' our way through the question. We breath a sigh of relief when it's all over.

Oh gosh. I've typed so long already? Okay, maybe I'll move everything to the next post.

Wait, there's more.

This too up quite a bit of my space, so...
