Blue. Now that might actually look good, but you’ll never know.
It never occured to me that I would one day actually play paintball, instead of just staring at
other people doing it on my TV screen. But walla! My friend Yuen Teng managed to pull
together a bunch of jokers who can’t shoot straight to save their lives and we had our first
paintball session in..what, 21 years? YEAH, 21 YEARS ALRIGHT!
We went to T_T Sports Club in Subang Jaya behind Holiday Villa. I don’t know if the rates
are any cheaper than other places but we each had to pay RM50…which was spanking
cheap! Only have to forgo 50 packets of nasi lemak only mar…can can.
Perhaps there are some jakun out there, but for the sake of the general public..I will
explain what paintball is all about.
You know counterstrike? Yeah, its counterstrike… in real life. See? That was easy.
But of course you don’t get a vast array of gun selections to choose from. Nope, no AK-47, no MP5, no Carbine. And no, you don’t get a knife to perform some stealth kills.
Everybody gets a standard CO2 powered rifle, which looks like this.
When I first held the gun in my hand, I wasn’t really aware of the full destructive power of
this killing machine. Oops, got carried away there.
Basically, I can PWN JOO!! (Uh, that’s English for ‘kill you’.)
Suiting up the armour was more fun than I thought. There were two types of armour.
One which makes you look like Rambo with overdeveloped chest muscles, and the other
which was thin as a paper plate. Unfortunately, my team members were so smart, they
went and pick the paper plate one because they thought they could run faster than the bullet. KNN!
See, my team very organised. Got discuss plans one ok. Brian, our tactical commander
started issuing us orders which nearly got us killed, but fortunately it didn’t happen, all thanks to the other team which had more girls. (Pardon me, but girls not that good in shooting mah..) Or maybe the paper plate armour did really enable us to move faster than a moving bullet?
Now you’ll have to agree I look more fearsome, intimidating and handsome all at the same time when I put on this big yellow mask, right? No ah? *sob* Oh well, excuse me while I head over to that corner and…
RELOAD MY AMMUNITION TO PWN JOO!!
The teams were selected and this was the lineup.
THE KAMIKAZE WARRIORS (Because they can’t stop running forward into enemy fire)
Wai Shin (C), Pik Lin, Kenneth Ho, Jian Leon, Jia Lin, Calvin, Xinyou + a mystery guest.
THE PARTIALLY STINGY DUDES (Because we save bullet like mad. Every shot – $$)
Daniel (C), Garry, Yuen Teng, Brian, Simon Noob, Kuang Chieng.
So as you can see, we were heavily outnumbered but my team still managed to put on a
tough fight, although we eventually went down 2-1 in a total of 3 rounds. I can’t possibly explain the details of the games here, because you’ll need to savour it for yourself by taking part in it!
And guess what? We had a mystery guest that day. She is non other than one of the hostess for TV2!
That’s right. RTM 2 actually came and filmed us live during the duration of our game.
SO THAT MEANS WE GET TO BE ON NATIONAL TV on 8th September 2007 on TV2, for a programme dubbed ‘GERAK TANGKAS’. REMEMBER TO CATCH US YA!!
A few of us even got a chance to be interviewed and I was one of them. Who knows, maybe you’ll get to see how I goofed up during the interview session on TV.
Now wait, that’s not good.
My teammates posing for the camera. You gotta admit, Simon is quite a good poser. Look
at his serious face! As though he can kill the entire opposing team single handedly. Yeng!
Brian on the other hand, must be too happy because he’s never held anything more than a
BB watergun in his hand before…
Casualties of War (COWs)
Field Liutenant Simon was shot at a near fatal point at his neck. A few more inches and
you would probably be visiting him in hospital by now. Poor guy. And he thinks its funny.
Another COW, Lance-Corporal Brian Lee, was shot near his ass, and that nearly cost him
to be unable to shit for a few seconds. Or rather, shitted instantly for a few seconds after
the impact. Seriously, it hurts.
Overall, it was an enjoyable activity to be done with a group of your friends!
Now, who’s up for another session of…PAINT-UR-BALLS??
