It is often said that a liar will never look you straight in the eye.
But apparently, the opposite could be true.
A study claims that the traditional tell-tale traits of a fibber, such as blinking and fidgeting, are all studiously avoided by accomplished liars.
Instead, they stay motionless and control their eye movement to avoid being caught out.
Other signs said to give away a liar, such as scratching the nose or stroking the back of the head are more likely to be used by someone telling the truth, say scientists.
They found that instead of looking shifty, those who compulsively lie, cheat and manipulate are concentrating so hard on convincing others that they tend to be very still and make few movements.
When liars do use their hands, they deliberately employ extravagant movements, flinging out their arms or rhythmically jabbing the air to emphasise their point.
The surprising findings are likely to be of interest to those who observe body language for signs of honesty.

WOAH it’s been more than a week since I last blogged :p
I’ve received calls from various institutions and colleges regarding intakes, etc. I’m quite interested in the courses from Raffles Design Institute
But the total fee sums up to at least SGD56,000
Which is like SGD1555 per month sigh
Date Movie
This movie is totally lame and crappy.. But it’s really hilarious. I was laughing throughout the whole movie haha.. Some scenes are quite disturbing.. Having a zit that’s bigger than a 20cts coin on your face? Waxing your whole body which is full of erm… hair? zzz

Weekend was awesome =) Had a light dinner and some drinks at Pasir Ris Beach on Saturday.
Corona Extra tasted amazingly refreshing
Did I just saw a crown? shocked Oooh such a coincidence haha :p
The atmosphere was really romantic and relaxing hee
I would certainly want to go there again
I love beaches :love: But too bad, I hate the sun. Maybe I need to get used it. Singapore sucks, such a small island and there is nothing much to do :doh: But I should be glad that I’m living in such a peaceful country.
Anyway, I went to the Career Fair yesterday evening. Was searching for design courses but couldn’t. I lost my way hee I signed up for the newsletter, I hope they will send me some brochures. Hopefully, I will get the chance to further my studies overseas
However, there are lots of preparations need to be done. Well, even IF I have the chance, I doubt I will have the courage to live all alone in another country. The thought of it is scary :sweat: However, no hardship = no success, I suppose? sigh
I wanna quit my job, but will really feel super guilty if I do that. My colleagues are such nice people. They gave me the best of everything, as I’m the youngest. Yesterday, my supervisor bought me a packet of chocolates (I’ve been eating at work heh). And it’s one of my colleagues’ birthday, but they gave me the biggest piece of strawberry and white chocolate with the wording “Happy Birthday” on it when it’s not even my birthday! She even bought us prawn noodles soup for breakfast (cos I don’t have the chance to eat it yesterday).
How great can that be.. I’m so touched
But in the wrong trade sigh The rules sucks too, if we wanna apply for leave, it must be 2 weeks in advance. Damn :doh: I wanna go hair salon and use my spa vouchers leh :angry:
I’m craving for Mcdonald’s Milkshake. But I couldn’t find it anywhere :doh:
