"Di medan, takde kawan. Semue musuh.." - Harvey
Semangat eh the guy?! Anyways, speedball was funfunfunfunFUNFUNFUNNN! Oh btw, the difference between speedball and paintball is that when you play speedball, you have bunkers that you can hide behind but paintball on the other hand is usually played in an open area. So there, info from the marshall there. Haha
Harvey picked Bee Chin and I up at 1pm and we went straight to the yoga centre at SS2 where we met up with Reeve and Tay Xin. Hung out with Dada for a while and just when we were about to go off, Dada came in and asked us if we could stay just for a while more to help him demonstrate saftey tips to some kids who were there for a Yoga for kids session. Then, we went out and Harvey had to be the injured victim and we had to carry him. So, as we carried Harvey, Dada explained to the kids that they will have to redemonstrate after our demonstration and you can see the kids visibly panicking. And when it was their turn to try out, everybody hid behind somebody else. Damn cute la the kids! Wished I could stay longer..LOL.
Then, after the demonstration, we sped off to Subang, to TT Sports Park, next to Sheraton Hotel. We arrived and we had to sign this waiver stating our emergency contacts etc while waiting for Danny. After that, we strapped on our vests and went for a short briefing at the shooting range. Bee Chin and I were on the green team with Jia Leong and Reeve mainly because Jia Leong had played before so, we thought we could win la kan with him on the team. And the other team comprised of Danny, Harvey, Tay Xin and Pei See.
After about 10 minutes of briefing where we learnt that the gun's not called a gun but markers and the facemasks should be worn at all times, and to always keep the parasocks(sp?) safety pin on when not in the field, we went to Field 4, the Rendezvous field, to start our game.
"Dah masuk field nanti CT, no mercy ah?!" - Danny
First game. Bee Chin and I were the back ups so we basically had to cover Jia Leong's and Reeve's asses as they move forward to try infiltrate the other team's camp. I was backing up Jia Leong and firing at Danny when I felt this sharp sting down my back and saw that Danny got me but the bullet didn't burst, so I was still in the game. Then, of course la, sakit hati already, have to exact my revenge la right?! After that, I made it my sole mission to get Danny back and after a few shots, he went out! Haha. Victory weh! Anyways, we went on to win the first game when Jia Leong ended the game by chasing Tay Xin and asking her to surrender. There were a couple of injuries that Danny and Bee Chin, I think suffered. One on the upper arm and one on the knuckles, both bloodied. Tsk tsk. Violent jugak we all. Haha
Then, we rested for a while and watched another group playing speedball. And then, it was our turn again. This time, we switched sides and after a few minutes of strategising, the game started. After a few casualties on both sides, I think Reeve was shot again and had to go out, we won the game, again. Thanks to Jia Leong who chased Harvey which resulted in Harvey waving the white flag.
Third game started after a while and not too long after that, I realised Bee Chin had been shot at and had to go out. Then Reeve. Then Jia Leong. That, of course, left me. Alone. Against three opponents. Kinda scary actually because nobody was there to back you up. And then, before I know it, the marshall called the game off because they said it was impossible for me to take on three people. Besides, while I was firing at one person, apparently a couple others were already creeping behind me. Lucky thing they called the game off, if not, I think I'd have more bruises than I already have. Haha.
Fourth game, we decided to play touch base where we have to try to touch the other's team base to win. So, we decided to send Jia Leong to carry out the task and we decided to employ an attack strategy. Reeve and I would move to the middle bunkers while Jia Leong and Bee Chin would stay on the right. Nevertheless, less than 10 minutes, Reeve and I went out and left Jia Leong and Bee Chin battling it out with the other team and before we knew it, Harvey came running from behind with every intention to shoot at Bee Chin but decided against it and touched our base.
Fifth game, we decided to employ a defensive strategy because our previous strategy failed miserably. So, played for a bit and got shot at(and missed) by Harvey and while I was checking my shirt for splattered paint (just to confirm that I was still in the game..)Harvey shot at me and hit my left index finger. Weh, sakit gile! And then after I went out, Reeve followed suit and then Bee Chin. Then, while Jia Leong was busy pursuing someone, Tay Xin sneaked up from behind and touched our base, again.
So, at the end of the day, if it was up to the other team, they'd say that they beat us 3-2 but we think that the third match was a draw since the game was stopped before I was shot. LOL. Anyways, we finished our game just as it started to drizzle. So, the marshall took us to the shooting range and told us to finish up our bullets. I had one left while the others still got a few except for Bee Chin and Harvey who ran out of bullets in the middle of the last game. Damn sad. Haha. Then, took some pictures which are still with Tay Xin. I'll post them up once I get them, pinkypromise! Haha.
In a nutshell (cewah! Macam buat karangan pulak. Haha)it was a fun game. It was rather extreme and I counted four bruises so far. One on my left index finger. One on my upper right arm. One on my lower left leg and one on my upper right thigh. Haha. Mengade kan?!
"Wei Danny, rematch ah?!"
"Cannn! No problem"
"Eh, lets get more people to join us..."
"Yeah, you guys go and get 6 more people la. My team, we'll go and find one more person. That way you guys will have an advantage over us."
"Wei, riak weh! Kitorang kalahkan your team baru tau!"
"Alah, I pakai blindfold pun boleh menang punye!"
Haha. He was provoking me, frankly. You know la, I'll definitely rise to his bait because I'm a sore loser. I can't stand losing. Well, I can stand it but not when the opponent's provoking la. LOL.
Anyways, I'd recommend this game to anyone who likes extreme sports or even if you don't, just go. I swear by the end of the game, you'll be much addicted to the game and would plan the next game by the time you step into your car. Okay la exaggerating a bit but go la people..Friggin' fun!
