Spending and Stocking up at New events..

Finally back and writing my blog again! Well, it has been a pretty long wkend and an exciting one that i have to say! Was up at KL for the paintball competition; MPOC, this malaysia competition that i took part with the one and only Singapore Team, Team RED Seven and learn more in depth abt paintballing and the works. It was surely a fantastic sessions playing and meeting great paintballers from Malaysia. Singapore is at least 5 years behid the curve for this extreme sports to pick up and get into shape to compete in a national level game!



But first, some pretty expensive buys for the month of August! I believe Aug is the month of spending! Becoz, i have spend close to 2K on items in juz less than 3 weeks.. Damn i really need to earn some hard cash if i ever wanna eat human food again.. i`m going on grass now! hahaha..

First buy was the camera that took my breath away. Panasonic FZ50! for the line up of our nations' birthday, i bought tis camera to take some fantastic pic which was posted in the last few entries. Its not a point and shoot coz i think its time i move on to see what other higher end cameras can give me in terms of photo quality and feel. So far, it has given me a fair bit of photos, soo no complains.. Close to S$1.3k dangz...

Juz got me helmet after i have successfully passed and completed my Ex. High Risk and DRC with BBDC within a short span of close to 4 months. This is surely the beginning of a long term investment. What will be next... The next buy of the month was actually the Proto Pants i bought at the MPOC Competition. This is the 07 model and its actually really very comfortable. Nice padding for the knee when i slide my way into the bunkers. Although i only use for the last match of the compition but its yet another worlthy investment for the new sport that i have picked up! Nice colour too! hehe..
Well, next will be some pictures of the games coutesy of Desmond from The Third Eye. Thanx for the great photos dez!

Waiting for the "BlowJob"(the inflating of the airbunkers by the officals) to be done before the match begins.
Waiting for the count down before the running in of the blood to the brain..
Laying a front to surpress the enemys in their bunkers and giving the other teammates a chance to strike!
Waiting for the moment of break!

Well these are some of the fantastic photos from the compition up at KL. Next compition will be coming to the end of the year and lets tryto hit a higher rank and work better. Thank You Team Red Seven for giving me the oppotunity to play in the compition with you guys and learning more abt the sport. Had a wonderful time and Thanx aaron for housing me and bring me around for the fantastic food and drinks.. KL is definately a place that i will want to explore in and lets meet up sometime for a drink again or you shld come down to singapore and let me bring you around.

This is the close of the exciting week.. Next coming event will be the 100 Cars AA Genting drive. Will be going up to Genting with my Parents in this event with AA and 100 Car convoy. Not to my surprise, i will be driver for the event and care taker for my aunty on her kid when she hit the casino with my mom.. Wish me luck man!

Trip up to KL

It has been awhile since i go on a solo trip to anywhere! Kina feels good when all i had was my backpack, MP3 and some printed directions and map on scraped paper to guide my way to Subang Jaya, Kualar Lumpur for some paintball action.

Left on the 18th Aug morning and backed on the 19th night.. Was a trip filled with gaming, meeting up with paintballers and learning the sport in a different point of view!

Navigated through KL city with my stuff in hand and MP3 player playing in my ear! Seems like my infantry navigation skills have not fade away with my air navigation from the sky! Thank you Lord.. Walked about 3 km plus down the stretch and through troubled lanes till i got to the central komuter station to take a train to Subang Jaya which is like the outskirt of KL to meet the gang.

Met up with Arthur from RedSeven (Singapore Team) and Aaron from Heatwave who brought me to TT Sports. This place used to be the extreme park set up by the government to promote sports from fishing to motorcross to paintballing for the young and the old. But I believe the residents are not soo keen in maintaining the area. Therefore, it is more like a open parked with some fencing here and there.. Has a few games organised by Heatwave and i was one of the guest player to play with this group of Chinese "Students" that speak perfect American English! The lady in pink looks cute yeahz! haha... After half a day of travelling and playing at the field, I'm damn dead tired and hungry! Meet up with Jane and Ben who were the Captain of RedSeven Singapore for some great dinner at Jalan Alor which is like newton circles in singapore but its a 700m stretch of wonderful food and stalls from all over the shop. Got my first buy of the year on paintballing gear which is the DYE I3 Pro mask. Paintball gears are really not coming in cheap but will probably get them in bit by bit! Why i choice this mask is becoz its light, colour is not too bad, thermal lens that prevent fogging up during games and its on a sale price. So here it is!!

The night was spend at Aaron's place. It was kind of him to house Arthur and myself at his home. His house is like a palace with a fantastic view of the town and the stretch up to Genting! Its surely a dream home to get when i have made that kina money!

The next day was some training session with the Team at Xtions paintball field! We were the earlies there soo we did some cleaning up of the markers and warmup for the day!

The olive green mask is Jane's mask and she changed the lens to Crome which prevent the opposite team from looking at where you are targeting and looks cool. Ben and Azlan also did theirs.. This i will soon maybe aft the tornament! hehe...
The place have 3 fanstatic national standard paintball field and there are lots of professional paintballers there to train for the coming tornament! Saw the match with the devision 1 players and their juniors! They were juz killers and their painting skills are like the MG gunner in the army but having thousands and thousands of rounds gunning down at you! its mean and deadly! These are the markers of the team for the next match with another devision 3 team!
The trip up KL is fun and an eye opener to see how things are like up north! Learned alot and will surely pick up more in the coming tornament at Xtion paintball field with all the Pros gunning for the champion title!

New photos updates of the events around! The sending off of the NFTC guys at changi airport in the early mornin of 11th Aug. Bros, we will miss you guys and fight hard man!
Makan session at NTU with a group of Poly mates! The food are not bought but cooked by of the guys! Well, ani gers wanna marry a guy that can cook pretty well, let me kneo!

From this point on is ALL about paintballing! Went up to JB with the bros to have some sum with paintballing and a clinic by Singapore's very own paintball team, Team RedSeven. They are a group of serious paintballers and building up the sport in Singapore is one of the agender on their list.

Damn.. I`m shot at pointblank and out i go!
The very beautiful shot done by the other team.. damn it!
The very unfortunate members of the team.

Well guys, this shows that its really been a long time since we have fire movement together and going out for the kill. If we were only OCS out fresh.. damn it.. but it was all fun and no one was seriously hurt or injured in the process. We will surely be playing with more paintballs and whoever is interested in paintballing, do let me kneo or you guys can checkout Team RedSeven at http://www.redsevenspaintball.com/. There is also an article on the team in NewsPaper today!

It has been an awesome week and i`m praying for a better week to come with more events and excitement!
