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!
