blogging in office now! =D

yesterday's paintball session was simply smashing! HAHAHAH oh man the thrill of dodging the paintball bullets.

salty organised it for my birthday. well, kinda like my birthday celebration and gathering rolled into one. haha.

my sister also came with us, as she wanted to play paintball.

in the end, the people who came:

me, mini, ek, salty, kelvin, benji, bingting, er-er (bingting's gf), yufan, TYY and my sister!

hence it was 5 vs 6. as there were 11 ppl.

we were supposed to reach there at 9pm. so me and my sis, we were coming from my grandma's house, and we thought we were late so we took a cab from serangoon to yishun.

turns out we were the earliest -__- i even had time to take a dump and change into sloppy clothes and slack around for a good 15mins.

kelvin alighted at Yishun but kinda walked the wrong way.

EK fetched benji and yufan, met the rest of the guys at Yishun MRT, and decided to take a piss there.

and bingting and his gf reached at around 9 15?

BUT nevertheless once we were briefed on the safety issues and how to operate the guns.

WE WERE ALL EXCITED AND GOOD TO GO!

so, on one side... the team consists of kelvin, salty, bingting, er-er, benji and yufan! the 6-man team.

and on the other side.. the team consists of me, mini, ek, TYY and my sister carrine!

and the first round goes......

we're issued with face masks (makes everyone looks like Darth Vader o_O) and a foam vest for chest protection. looks like those bulletproof Kelvar vests!)

and our weapon of choice- nitrogen-powered paintball semi-automatic gun.

i would have opted for something with a mounted scope so i can enjoy picking my targets off but of course they don't have any shit like that.

so, with our protection gear all set up,

note: as i was typing halfway, my colleagues announced that Janice (my colleague who's on maternity leave) has just given birth to a healthy baby boy! congrats! though she's not going to see this -_-

anyway, as i was saying, with our protection gear all set up, we picked up our guns...

walked to our home base...

OH SHIT.

so sorry, i forgot to explain the game rules and stuffs. hehehehehehe. come on, i slept for only 5-6hours last night!

there're 2 teams (obviously) and each takes one extreme end of the battlefield as their base. The field is divided into 2 parts. Teams cannot cross over the mid-line over to their enemies side of the field. At the mid-line of the field, there're 2 boxes. One has to grab the box, without getting shot, and run back with it to the base.

If you're shot, you are to raise your hand up and run back to the safety hut, which is near your base. Once you touch it, you are allow to join the battlefield again. Hence, there's no elimination or whatsoever. everyone gets a chance to play.

Before grabbing the box, however, the team has to pick off 2 orange targets mounted at their enemy's side of the field. Then, they are allowed to go for the box.

okay.

that should be about it.

First round... the siren sounds..

shit, no tactics! no plans!

so i just ran forward -_- i looked back and saw i was the only one sprinting for cover while the rest of them ran elsewhere LMAO.

crouched behind the crates.. saw a target.. shoot. MISS -_- shoot more.

AHHH.

felt something hit the side of my body, below my left armpit -_-

now THATS painful.

ran back to safety hut.. touched it..

came back.. took cover.. aim.. fire..

before i knew it the siren sounded. i think the other team got their box back to the base gahhhhh.

took a short break. next round, we did the same thing. but now we know roughly the accuracy of the gun..

SHOT! no la i mean i shot someone. hehehehehe. wa the feeling of shooting someone... SHIOK. but the other guy poor thing la.... sorry mate! heh heh heh.

shot down the targets..

push forward to the mid-line.

hiding behind the barrel now...

mini crouching beside me.. peering over.. looking for any open targets.. he fired a few rounds off..

yelled to him "COVER ME!!"

he nodded.. rose up and fire more rounds...

i rose up.. wanted to shoot..

SHIT. KNNCCBNNB. my gun the safety lock activated -,-

nevertheless i ran for the box, grabbed it, and ran zig-zag back to my base.

you ever see those 1st person view, where they put the camera beside the person's eye or head, and while they run you see the view shaking all over?

well somehow similar to me. wearing my mask, i hear myself panting and breathing heavily and i tried to make my way back across the terrain.

dropped the box.

siren sounds.

WOO! we won the second round!

ALRIGHT!

and the 3rd round starts...

everyone runs...

this time i was almost 1m away from the box only! but peering from my cover behind the barricade i could see bingting's gun poking out.. damnit!

can't get to the box.

fired some rounds to distract him.

TYY's busy aiming someone.

suddenly mini dashed out and grabbed the box and ran back to our base O_O


paintball is really fun. although you might get injured from the shots. well at most you got is blue-blacks and stuffs..

i got 2.

HAHAHA.

its really tiring too, running around, crouching down, dodging, running even more.

oh yeah salty took some pictures, but its in his camera.... gotta wait!

mini bought me this remote control car -,- basically you have to fix it up, like those Tamiya model cars, after that, plug in the batteries and you're good to go!

man. one of these days.. definitely gotta go back to play paintball!

visit www.paintball.com.sg for more details! those guys over there are damn friendly. they even gave me a teeshirt cuz its my bday -,- LOL.
