Pain-tball.

My brother invited me to join him on some paintballing action today. I went up to cyber and stayed at his apartment for the night yesterday. There was a barbecue last night here though. Stayed up till morning. There were lots of chicks, ah moi's and people. Hah. Slept around 4-5 am.

Amazingly though, we woke up at 10 and left for KL at 10.30. The paintball place was in Desa Waterpark. There was an outdoor arena and two or three indoor one. The first indoor match area had an office setting with computers(dead computers) and other office stuff. The second one was more to barrels, tires and nets. We played at the second one. I think there were more settings upstairs but we didn't go any further.

But first we had to fill out and sign these contracts. Didn't read what it was about though. But i think it had something to do about the place won't take any responsibility for any injuries or something. They'd be bankrupt by now if they did. I mean, there's a lot of ways to get injured in this sport. We had this briefing on how important the face mask is. NEVER TAKE IT OFF DURING GAME ON! As long as the marshall(referee of sorts) hasn't said mask off you must NOT take your mask off. I mean, a stray bullet might hit yer face, at let me tell ya, it won't be pleasant. We were also briefed on the many game modes that were available. There's capture the flag, annihilation and deathmatch. We only played CtF and Annihilation though. In which Team A and Team B fought. But we only had nine people so it was 4 against 5. I was in the team of 4. Played for a few hours.

My brother upgraded his firearm to this M-16 like mark(mark is the name of the rifles). He said it was quite heavy and big but it had amazing bullet speed and accuracy. The others only used standard marks. But for me it was good enough. We played with no rules though. Meaning you can shoot at close counters. Which was bad news for me because i didn't wear any body armor. :/
I got shot on my back almost as near as 5 feet. Bloody Andrew. He's a good player but quite reckless and violent. And my brother's friends says he likes to wipe(a technique that is revered to be cheating because the person wipes the paint so that he'll look like he's still alive). Heh.

We got back around 2 pm and although i had bruises all over and a hell of a leg cramp. But hey, that's what you get when you don't wear body armor and not warm up before a game. :D

A good bruise. Hei, no pain no gain. :]













can't wait for another round. :]

Rantai 2007

A blog long overdue. Anyhow, i still remember going there and seeing a lot of kids that are still "new" to the art world. Some of them looked disappointed when there was nothing but art on that day. But hei, it's the Rantai "ART" event. Of course there's gonna be stuff like that. Anyhow, most of the people with skinny colorful jeans just stood aimlessly outside because they weren't interested in the exhibit. There was a lot of art on display. I was quite delighted by the way they made the whole house into this art exhibition.



I went there with Sue or i met Sue there, i can't remember.
























Anyhow, i also bumped into Aliaa, Faza, Adilah and Alysa. Alysa played with Alia's camera a lot. She'd say, "Aliaa, nak main.". Haha. Comel je. Anyhow, she and i crossed lens from time to time and we'd take pictures of each other. I can't remember any other details, nor do i want to take the time to remember. So that's all here.

Mind's Eye

Well, i've upgraded my escitalopram to 10 mg from 5 mg. Eventhough it's recommended to take only half of the pill(which is 5 compared to 2.5 like before) daily, i just take the whole tablet. Just to fasten things up. :/
Anyhow, the effects are quite obvious this time. One thing's for sure, i get quite sleepy afterwards. Making my sleeping pills look useless. Heh. Anyhow, i wanna share two good songs with the same title today. One by Wolfmother, a band debated to be a resurrection of the 70's and Josh Ritter, a singer/songwriter i found out about by watching House one day. One thing though, Wolfmother's Mind's Eye's video looks too familiar though. Pink Floyd live at Pompeii anyone? Well, here are their vids.
