Undercover Challenge to Teenagers in Singapore: Disguise Urself to look like "Auntie" "Uncle"


1) Disguise urself to look "old". Without getting ur cover blown for 1 working slot in hotel banquet service.

Using cosmetics or any means necessary, make urself look above 40 yrs old.

2) Get urself hired into a hotel. Any hotel in Singapore. Through recruitment agencies or direct hire. Do something about ur I/C first so that it matches with ur disguise.

3) Work.

4) Experience & observe people's reactions towards you throughout the event. Successful disguise = people will call u "auntie" "uncle". If nobody calls u those terms, it means ur disguise is a failure.  Consider ur cover blown.

Note how many times u are called "auntie" or "uncle" during the event & by whom.

When people call u "auntie" or "uncle", let them know ur name. Example: "call me Joe" or "my name's Joe" or "I'm Joe". Then note their reaction.Will they call u Joe?

5) Write/ Blog about ur observations & feelings at the end of work.

What is your pay for this? Besides the official pay rate per hour, the actual reward is the experience. U don't have to wait to be "old" to experience people's reactions to u. Simply by "switching" to another age group. See what it's like. Also, it's fun undercover experience which can be useful later in ur other experiences.
