AcE

I signed up for a CSI competition… long time ago and it happened today… haiz what a waste of one full day…

13 groups of 6 individuals who loved CSI went to the police complext at 8.15 in the morning… mind you its a saturday… holidays started 2 days ago n i have to wake up at 7 just to get there… even with my father sending me… luckly i did not have to wake up earlier…

Started off with a brief intro and a lecture… boy was the lecture ultra lame… he went through the 6 steps of processing a crime scene… for all those out there who want to find out what these six steps are, i shall summarise it for it… simply put just collect everything n stuff them in the proper bags la… but he took half an hour to tell us that…

oh yar we were also introduced to our ‘facilitator’ who’s name was mr lum… if i dint get it wrong…

We then went for tea… and our facilitator after a long time… found us… and the 1st thing he said was: "Ni men ke yi jiang hua yu?" WADDA HELL… stupid police… who told them to give us this chinese speaking person… but we had denis n zoe as translators… so i thought not to bad… hahaz after saying that sentence… he walked off… n we couldnt be bothered so we decided to go to the other side n have a sit… on the floor… While looking at other teams chatting with their facilitators, ours was no where to be found… not that we actually bothered searching for him… who wants to chat with a person who insists on using chinese when half the group cant understand chinese -.-’ retards

After the tea break, we went back into the audi for a briefing… and the ‘game master’ decided to talk and waste time… After all that had happened i asked what we were suppose to do and what was the objective… they then said:" the person who can get the most accurate story is the winner"
We were given the scenario… some robberies… n a chinese man caught… n we had to search his hotel room for evidence… So EXCITING RIGHT?

So we went to sembawang to a some NS-men hotel thingy… n started wasting 1.5hours searching for evidence that would link the accused to the crime scene. I dont know if this is absurd or what but the accused hides. One above an air condtion unit, one in the water cinster. A bangle underneath a water kettle. A ring inside a hanger and one on a shower curtain hook. Man this robber is surely very paranoid. But worst of all, in the toilet roll he kept his SIM CARD.  Of course my team had no idea  that we had to find such stuff la… We  were like headless people  running around hoping to get some directions. Of course la what could our great facilitator do then just sit n look at us… "HELPING" us count down time and telling us how fast his team could do it… ok… fine if you all can do it in 30mins then good for you… but i dont really care… unless you want to give me clues/answers, just keep your mouth shut… And the photographer came in.. of course he also had to REMIND us of the time we had left… and best still our facilitator told him to take a shot in such a way that he could see how messy our evidence was… like WTH! if you dont want to help us then fine la but to pull us down is just wrong la… retarded… all thanks/no thanks to the person who gave us this IDIOT… bloody retard, while other facilitators help their own team we have one that is trying to kill us…. as fast as possible…

When we went back, there was this questionaire waiting for us to fill up….
2. Was the competition fun and challenging?
I wrote somewhat fun and challenging… (had to be nice my name was on the cover)…
Why? Nice treasure hunt, without the clues…. but where is the CSI part?

4. How fair was the judging?
Quite fair with a few errors…
Reason: How am i suppose to know if it is fair?? all i have seen is what my team presented.

of course they needed to have this question
Would you recommend it to your juniors?
Yes
Reason: The food wasnt bad… had nice spring rolls… but what a waste i just tightened my braces… or else i would have just enjoy my lunch =(

Simply said… it was a waste of my day…. doing a 1.5h treasure hunt without any clues… having a facilitator who should be renamed as the devils advocate… and feeling sorely disappointed for not having to do any CSI STUFF…

oh yar… just incase your wondering why the police force decided to have it, it was basically to promote the police force…. and TALENT SPOTTING….
