What you're about to read below is my recall of my failed entry :(
Paintball! That was how Friday noon was spent. Yesterday, after class i went to pick Bee up and headed to TT Sports to meet up with my ex-collegemates where Bee and i will get my first taste at paintball-ing action.
TT Sports is somewhere in nearby Holiday Villa and Sheraton in Subang. If you're not familiar with that area, TT Sports can be quite easy to miss. We had to turn into a small road and go through narrow lanes and bear the horribly paved, bumpy roads before reaching the arena.
Largest Paintball Challenge in Tanah Melayu.
We met up with Aaron, ChoongKhin, GheeJune, Kirsty, Kwee, Joe, Kimberly, LiTat, Praevin, John, and Fai at the place.
All come geared up for paintball action, while some..uh..weren't exactly geared up for it. Nvm that.
Joe, being the head of the pack, booked us a place few days in advanced. We issued ourselves with 3 boxes of pellets, which makes a total of 1500 pellets for 14 of us. Do the math.
As for protective gears, a helmet is compulsory but we had to pay RM5 to wear the protective vest! Aye, protective gear also need to pay meh.
Posters of proffesionals and the gear.
The head gears STINK! Just like the helmets i wore back at Genting when go-karting with the same group of friends. The vests stink too and they're kinda sticky :S
The Gears.
To me, i thought the head gears were kinda cool looking. The vests too :P
Now Joe know how it feels to be me :P
For Protection.
As for offensive measures, we were issued with air-compressed guns that feed on paintball pellets.
The Arsenal.
Some extra information - actually, paintballs aren't exactly "paint". The fluids inside the pellets are colored polyethylene glycol, not real paint. They are non-toxic, biodegradable and water soluble. So, that means that they are easily washed off and therefore there is no need to worry about stains and whatsoever :)
Polyethylene glycol are the basis for laxatives, skin creams, some tatoos, and even sexual lubricants :S
Um..yea.
Once we got our gears, we were given a small briefing on the do's and dont's and some facts on paintball-ing action.
Arena entrance.
One more participant (I believed his name was Eu Jin, i think :s ), didn't arrived yet. So...
Bee. And a Vios.
Waiting for the last man.
Still waiting.
This is Kwee Jin.
He has hairy legs.
Once the last participant arrived, we proceeded to the arena.
The team line-up:
My Team:
- Bee
- Aaron
- Ghee June
- Joe
- Kirsty
- Kwee Jin
- and I
The Enemy:
- Choong Khin
- Eu Jin
- Fai
- John
- Kimberly
- Li Tat
- Praevin
After much contemplating, we all agreed on Capture the Flag. It wasn't i thought it would be. I assumed it would be like the ones in QuakeIII and other FPS games where there are 2 flags on each team's "base". Each team has to get the opposition's flag and return it to their base while defending the flag of their own.
However, the one we played invovles one flag only. The flag is placed in the middle of the arena and the team that successfully brings the flag to their respective bases wins the round. Sounds kinda messy.
We played for 5-6 rounds before we ran out of ammunition. Overall, paintball-ing was fun come to think of it now :)
Going around in a field, shooting a barrage at your buddies aimlessly and senselessly hoping one of the shots hits.
Needless to say, my shots weren't so hot. Aiming and shooting is much harder than it looks.
Most of us were left with bruises after the game with GheeJune being the most noticeable with one on his hand between his thumb and index finger. Kwee, Joe, Aaron and I had a bruise each on our thigh while Bee escaped unscathed :)
Oh, and i forgot which team won :P All i remembered was that my team won the final round. HAHA.
Anyway, after the game:
Bee and I.
After paintball.
Kwee and Bee.
Bee and Kirsty.
Everyone.
And so ends the noon with my first paintball session. I'm definitely coming back here :)
After all these, had dinner at Devi's Corner @ Hartamas and then Bee went to Heritage while i, went home :(
Anyways, here's some random old photos i found in my pc. Enjoy.
Joe and Kwee are special.
Yes they are.
I is special too :)
That's Patrick on left, Kwee and John. I hope Patrick's still alive in Adelaide.
And the latest up-to-date:
Waiting by Holiday Villa. Kwee and his trusty limey Myvi.
Bee adores kids in superman's attire. And thats not even someone she knows. We were in Cineplex @ Cineleisure and Bee spotted this little kid donning superman's outfit running around. Bee couldn't resist but pick up the little fella and asked me to snap a photo of them. Bee is hugging the kid like so because the kid was reluctant to be hugged by a stranger :P
:)
- take care and God bless, everyone.
- jW's.
