BB CQ...

Hi Guys.

Yeah as you know from my previous post, I went for the national BB CQ competition.

So how did it go?

Well. Let me tell you what happened.

So at 7.45 this morning, we fell in and took attendance.

As the team leader (yes... i know...) I checked my team. Everyone was here except the chairman.

Called him.

He said "I'm sick. Captian Yong say Dexter replace me."

OMG. DEXTER. Crap.

Nevermind... at least its not darren...

ok. Boarded the bus an headed for Christ Church Sec.

Started mugging for the indoor section for the competition.

Well, let me explain a bit about the competition.

First every company (or school) is only allowed to send a max of 4 teams of 4 ppl. So, I was in team 002c. The team will take a test (i'll explain later) and complete the amazing race part together too.

Then there is the indoor section. About 30 - 40% of the Whole competition marks. You will have to study some chapters or "characters" of the bible, and this year's are Daniel, Jonah, and Elijah. Pretty easy. So every one had 1 specialist on each character and 1 all rounder. So I was the specialist on Daniel. But the hard part was the "seminar" thingy. Each team member is supposed to go to one seminar each and it will come out in the test.

Next was the Outdoor section. This is the main part of the competition. It counts as 60-70% of everything. Its something like the amazing race but you have to apply the info and stuff from the bible passages that we studied. The hard part is that the game play of each year changes. So its hard to prepare.

Ok. Here's how VS did.

We all were confident on the indoor part and completed it about half-an-hour before the submission time. We then planned on how we wanted to go completing the out door part.

This year is about the "life of ah beng". Its like the game of life, were you go to school, get job, go dating, and yeah... family planning... So the aim of this year's competition is to get a balanced score between the 4 aspects, health, knowledge, relationship, and wealth. And the BEST part is that you must go through 2 crisis that either minus or add alot of points. So, its like a gamble.

So, we went seperate ways with different tactics. My team went alot of places like Singapore Idol (A HELL LOT of Wealth points), where and Dexter Sang heal the world and I sang Beat it, NS (Health Points), where we got the rank of LTA, Went to Sports(Health), Home (Relationship and Health), spam church (knowledge and relationship) and last minute chiong study until secondary school ( Knowledge) and we became a hawker. lol. The crisis we suffered was the finacial crisis and relationship disaster. We lost 1500 of wealth points and 20 knowledge points. The relationship part we earned 20 knowledge and 40 health points.

So overall, our team did the best of all the VS teams as our average was the best, but it is still not that good. We got overall 239 health, 160 knowledge, 190 relationship, and 570 wealth. And after calculation by the officers our life value is 42. The other teams got 30, 39, and 34.

But in the end.

We

lost.

Yeah. My team was the only hope for VS of getting at least the top twelve. But we did not succeed. Last year we at least got 9th place.

Sigh. At least there is still next year. After this time's experience, we have learnt and will definately get into at least the top 12.

Sigh... my hols have ended.

Gonna chiong my Science paper A and B now.

See ya!!! will post soon.
