The War in Australia

*buzz* Private Sim reporting in for duty sir.

Today the Malaysian club held a joint paintball event with the Singaporean club of Monash at Echucha (which is in the middle of nowhere. Imagine 3 hours' bus ride from Melbourne). So all of us gathered within the Uni compound at 5 friggin 30 a.m. But knowing Malaysians and Singaporeans, confirm late wan la. But anyway bus left at 6 friggin a.m. and we arrived like 9 something at our destination. After signing the we-don't-hold-any-liability-in-the-unfortunate-event-that you-do-die form, we were given some gay jumpers to change into. This is a little different from what I played back in Malaysia though (only T-shirt and jeans, damn macho).
Then it was a wait of A FEW DAYS before we could finally begin playing. In the meantime a portion of us managed to take some pictures.

Gay-looking jumpers. Oh and the reason i'm posing like that is because I had to run back into position after setting up the camera and there wasn't any space for me to stand normally.

Anyway we didn't had chance to take photographs during our matches. What a waste. Just so you all might be curious as to how we players look like fully-equipped, here's some pictures.

This is the paintball mask.

This is how all of us look like after putting on the mask.

The game is played out on many different scenarios. Eliminate all opposition in the jungle, attack/defend the fort, capture the flag with tyre bunkers just to name a few.

This blue arm band defeats the purpose of a camo outfit.


"I'm not aiming at anyone, I'm just posing for the camera."

So basically during the game, u get shot once and you're out of the game if the paint ball bursts onto you. As for me, I managed to turn into "Superman, man of steel". It's like I get barraged by tens of bullets all hitting me(vs Singaporeans and Thais with army training, damn accurate), but it just ricochets off. Still pain la but then.

One nifty way to "heal" yourself in this game is to use this. No, I'm just kidding =).

Oh mother..... head shot. "Tastes like strawberry."

Those of you all in Malaysia taking things for granted. Got super paintball facilities but all don't wanna go. All not free and postpone paintball event wtf. When I come back make sure go ok? Btw paintball in Australia is damn expensive. So don't be too trigger-happy.
