*DROOLS*

okay.. so.. while having dinner on a wednesday night i have songren urgently msn-ing me to give him a call.. thought it was something super urgent/important.. then it turned out that he needed someone to replace a vacant advanced booking ticket for transformers 2.. so i took it lor.. can get to meet up with the gang at least.. so jon picked me up in his dad's fortuner at pioneer station and off i was to tiong bahru plaza..

did a whole lot of talking on the way.. realised that the vacant ticket was supposed to be for jon's gf, lurvies, who apparently isn't feeling too well to go out..

met up with the gang at coffee bean.. chitchat till the movie timing.. went to watch..

oh well.. look at the date. its like coming to the end of june.. that's like 3 months and a few days to my enlistment.. and the fasting month is within those 3 months.. wahh.. damn long to my enlistment..

BTO this sunday.. wonder how will i fare..? sure kena bully again by the RD staff.. LOL.. looking forward to playing tournament paintball..

but one thing that's holding me back is the dough needed to at least get the necessary equipment to play speedball.. i'm already struggling to buy my archery stuff.. and now to pickup paintball.. lol.. that's 2 expensive sports in my repertoire.. but paintball is so fun.. so aggressive.. so cool.. lol..

i'm struggling on my ownself to get a paintball mask.. i'm going for a blue DYE I4.. small mask but wat the heck i have a small head.. can my little 'sis' help me lend me some money..?? ehhehhehehehe..

i can almost imagine 3MC taking up paintball and forming a speedball team..

Des and Sam playing back..
Me and Ahmad playing mid..
then Ian and dzaki playing front..

whooo...
just imagine..

Alrrriiiggghhhtttt...
Time for an update..

been working more than wat's been scheduled for me due to covering or replacing for my colleagues..
Beginning to get used to the technical and safety problems that come up in paintball and ways to handle it.. and also.. ways to handle different 'types' of customers.. though.. from the bosses.. i need to speak up more.. lol..
I've been thought many things equipment-wise about paintball.. and in those rare free time that i have, i get the chance to watch the tournament players do their thang and as i watch them, those tournament players who are working.. ppl like Faz, Nick and Sufyan give pointers on how to do this.. how to do that.. what to look out for on the field..
It's been great working here at RD.. the people are great.. the pay so-so.. but it's the environment that keeps me wanting to get back and look forward to the next day of work..
And the guys there man.. DAMN.. the guys there.. WWHOOOO...
I LOVE IT..!!

I had my first paintball game last evening.. a NOOB match.. lol.. it's the new staff against the new staff.. so it was kinda fun.. LOL.. the weird weather was not helping.. always fogging up my glasses or my mask lens.. so i could barely see anything.. lol.. what impressed the other non-playing players was my speed lol.. so Faz told me that i would make a great Front player.. lol.. like i actually have this feeling even before he told me.. coz i read up on the various roles a front or mid or back player has to do.. and felt like Front was for me and based on my performance.. and Faz's encouragement/advice.. that cemented my suitable position of play..

Oh yeaahhh... Front.. i get to do superman slides.. aahahaaah..
Being hit by a paintball doesn't hurt that much anymore even though i got hit like so many bloody times.. LOL..

archery.. made progress.. form is setup differently now.. much more stable.. but just no strength. need to spend more time bow training..

I've been spending alot of my time with yazid ever since he ORD-ed in may.. been meeting him at the gym and he often comes down for trainings.. so it's a good thing now.. i got a training partner to be with.. and can practice compy pressure with him.. coz he's just that damn good..

and oh adelia.. LOL.. i don't work on saturdays.. and USUALLY we have bookings at your site on saturdays.. lol..
And my work schedule is not fixed.. so sometimes i go sembawang.. sometimes i don't.. mostly i don't.. XD

Seeing them never fails to humble me and spur me on..

Sunday was my first full-day job at RD.

It was fun man. Think i came a wee bit too early. ahahah.. punctual i was.. 8am was the reporting time.. had to wait for the others to come..
assembled masks then waited for the others to come.

Then they started to come in.. the staff of RD.. Damn cool ppl man.. they're like super cool.. man. beyond description.. just super cool.. got to know their names.. shook hands.. those normal get-to-know-you questions.. man.. theyre really nice ppl.. i'm starting to enjoy my time here..

i was assigned to field 2 which is a rather big field, under the guidance of Faz a fulltimer at RD.. Nice guy with a rapper accent/slang and goes around saying bitch this bitch that.. LOL.. taught me many things.. and of course the others assigned to field 2 were a great help to me.. ppl like sham, hee chai and cheeyong.. Cheeyong the techie.. manning the markers.. looks like a cool job but he's always like "damn.. no..!! why do u ppl have to spoil my markers..!! ".. ahaha.. the QM of paintball..

in-field duty.. i've gotten more relaxed in the field.. not worried about getting shot.. coz i wasn't shot at.. lol.. but unlucky for heechai who even got shot in the groin by some russians.. lol.. the russian customers were a very 'interesting' bunch..

The mask today was good though it was one of those cheap ones.. it didn't press against my glasses.. or maybe coz i wore it right.. lol..

tourney players came down too.. rowdy bunch.. always always cracking jokes.. dancing around.. singing around.. LOL.. but it was cool to watch them train in the speedball field.. the snapshooting that they do.. i just wonder how they walk the trigger on the Spyder Sonix.. it's just amazing.. it's like executing a 50m 80cm yellow shot with a wooden bow..

equipment wise.. i see almost all the staff at RD are also tourney players and they were wearing their jersey pants.. most of them also have their own masks.. i see them using Dye I3s, Vforce Grills and JT proflex.. there was also the latest Dye I4.. but it looks kinda small.. if i were to get one.. i'll get the Dye I3.. cheeyong wears them with his specs.. he doesn't seem to have a problem with them..so i believe i won't too.. but wat colour..? hmm..

anyways.. it was a great first day of work at RD.. really great.. woud love the next 4 months that i spend here..

ouh ya.. here's the webbie to Red Dynasty Paintball..
http://www.weplaypaintball.com

OOooo.. how nice..

the moment i sent my resume, i got an almost instantaneous reply to come down for an interview..

went for the interview.. got lost on the way there.. LOL.. ended up in some forested back-alley.. creepy place.. like those typical deserted roads with nothing but forests on the side and rows of lampposts that u would expect a pontianak to be standing under one of them.. LOL.. just that this was in the daytime.. nonetheless creepy as hell..

finally found the place.. late by 10minutes.. but they didnt seem to bother.. got interviewed.. told to come back for a trial session in a few days time..

ouh shit.. forgot the mention wat job i got.. it's a job for a sports instructor/facilitator for Red Dynasty Paintball.. yepp yepp.. paintball.. my job scope is just to marshall paintball matches and keep all the stuff clean and in place.. and also to brief the customers on the matches that they're gonna play.. LOL... the words they use these days to describe job positions..

trial session was fun.. learnt how to assemble a paintball mask.. learnt how a marker (the gun) works.. learnt the various rules of the game and hand signs of refereeing a proper paintball match.. and of course.. most importantly -- made new friends..

So i helped to marshall a game. it was fun.. LOL.. i had to stand in the middle of warring sides.. LOL.. ahaha.. the fun thing is.. even though i was in the line of fire.. i was not hit..!! lol.. damn funny..!! coz i was leaning into the net at the very edges of the field.. then i could feel the net vibrate as the shots peppered all around me.. but i was not hit.. LOL.. u know.. it's like those in cartoons where bullets are shot to the outline of the person's body.. yeah.. kinda like that.. LOL.. damn funny.. my friends were like "hey u havent got shot yet.."
lol

so i got the job. starting work this sunday. it's a criteria to work on weekends so my sundays are gone.. my archery is gonna progress to a crawl.. ouh well.. without the money.. i can't buy archery stuff.. and no money, no honey.. LOL..

think i'm gonna buy a paintball mask..

this sport looks like fun.. it's even shown on ESPN..

maybe i could take up tournament paintball to destress from archery eh..?

maybe.. we'll see..

all the best to my new job..

Adidas Sundown Marathon 2009.

my first marathon. didn't do it so well. But i completed it..!!

Met up with BK and Sam and sam's friend before going over to the start point. Lots of people man. Many many. I was nervous. My first marathon, of course i'm nervous.

At gun time. So it started. took some walk-time before i even reached the starting line. LOL. there were that many people. Passed the start line, jogged at my own pace. Eventually lost BK and Sam. lol. too many people and too many overtaking.

Didn't go to the 1st aid station as it was jam-packed. Saw sam there though. that means he's on my pace. Met him at the second aid station too, when i was going out and he was just arriving. Aid stations are every 2km.

So from changi it was, all the way down to east coast park. And after a few aid stations and past 16km. I had the urge to shit. Like OMG..!! i needed to shit in the middle of a marathon..!!! think it was the 100plus, my body can't take the normal 100plus drink. It will irritate my bowels. and that's where i found myself.. irritated bowel with the urge to shit.. i thought i could hold i back.. but by the turn of that cablewakeboarding pool i couldn't hold it back anymore.. it had to go.. LOL.. so i increased my pace and widened my stride as i searched for a toilet. LOL. The worst thing is.. everytime i see a toilet up front.. the route deviates from it..!! Eventualy i found one.. think past the 18km mark.. LOL.. ran 2km in search of a toilet.. lucky not full.. wah.. spent like 30minutes in there.. think sam and BK should have passed me by now..

Got out. got ready to run. was starting off until i felt a sudden sharp familiar pain in my right knee.. slowed down my pace.. but by the turn at the 22km mark.. i couldn't run anymore.. it was torturing.. the pain in my knee. i duno how to describe the pain.. it's like everytime u lift ur leg up to that bent angle to propel forward there will be a sharp pain at my knee joint.. feels like someone is ripping my leg of by my knee.. really hurts like mad.. So i walked the rest of the way.. that's like 20km of walking..

by then i already resigned myself to the fate that i cannot continue to run. it really hurts like mad.. and i have to go shopping with kai the next morning.. lol.. i walked with a limp as i tried NOT to bend my right knee.. so i was kind of like a jerry fox but with no prosthetic leg.. ahaha. so i walked the rest of the way.. the bridges were no help.. the long winding roads seemed like forever.. the boardmarkers indicating the distance seemed further and further each time i passed one. it was horrendous.. i saw a guy pull out to the ambulance.. think thats it for him, and i wondered if i should do the same. but i didn't.. i want that finisher's tshirt..!! in order to do that.. i have to FINISH this.. some idiotic resolve in me asked me to continue even if i have to drag my body to the finish line. And so i did.. NOT drag my body to the finish line lar.. but finish the race in no matter wat condition i was in..

*SIgh*.. watching the morning sun come up was like a bane for me.. i knew i had passed 6hours into the run.. by then BK and Sam should have finished it..

Eventually through pain.. i completed the damn thing with a time of 8hours and 8minutes.. lol.. 22km of running, 20km of walking.. more like sundown walk-a-thon for me.. lol..

oh well it was a great experience.. with a bad timing, it would be easier to break my PB..

till the next sundown..
