Expertise learning curve...

For the last few days, I had the privilege to work with a few special people in one of the works where I am helping out. The people whom I am working with are forensic specialist. They try to avoid using the tag "forensic experts" on this occasion as the expectations are way too much for anyone to actually shoulder that nice sounding title. Just like if you are good at what you are currently doing, you are actually a specialist in your own esteemed field. Like wise in the last few days, I had the privilege of working with one very experienced forensic guy. So, when I have the opportunity to learn from the best, I just couldn't resists nor let this opportunity drop by.
Yup, to me, just because you are good in your field doesn't mean that learning stops. An old wise friend of mine used to tell me that there is no end to learning and gathering of knowledge. There is always something fascinating to discover each day and might as well learn from the best, right? As usual, when I got a call to attend to this , I scampered quickly out of my seat and headed straight to the site to meet these fellas. So, it is really nice to be able to speak to Khai and Bob at the site. After the formalities and pleasantries, I told Khai that I am still seeking knowledge and I want to learn as much as possible from this experience. He took one look at me and burst into laughter telling Bob, the new guy that they should be learning from me. Anyway, Khai and I have worked on a few jobs before this and we knew each other. We always share our information we gather and it helped us to get on with our job pretty easily. I have always respected Khai for his excellent work on details and great deduction mind. So , this time, it is no different. Anyway, we shared information on the potential task ahead of us and we each knew what to do. Though our tasks were constantly met with frustrations, some form of lung exercise by screaming and gut-pulling disappointments [ sometimes, fringing on pulling out our most important commodity - our hairs ! ] , we slowly made progress and hoping for a breakthrough in our task.

Like I said, though we may be on different path of investigations and substantiating of evidences and facts, we had one common ground - the TRUTH~ I guess, we hit it off at the task because the three of us were interested in the truth of what had happened. The first few hours were strangely filled with mountainous barriers of rubbles, dirt and dust particles which could fill your lungs within seconds. Countless strings of Cantonese obscenities spew out from me [ but they seemed futile as the clearing team made up namely of Banglas, Vietnamese and Indonesians! ] but then , it was more rubble, more dirt and more dust. It was as though hampering works were on-going so that we would not uncover the ugly truth. [ Malaysia Boleh-mah! ] Anyway, at the end of our 3 days collaboration, we took to our hearts that we had tried our best and tried various other channels to gain our ultimate findings - the truth to what could have possibly happened. We succeeded in another channel and that was more than satisfying for us as truth seekers. The common jargon out there namely " you may find the truth but you may not like what you find" is absolutely true but we take heart that we have , at least, carried out our job in the very best of our capability and our ability.

After all, I believed firmly in sleeping well at night unlike some people who would probably be squirming on theirs beds on what we had uncovered!~ Yiiiiiiipppppppppppeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
