Paintball

Team Dark Militia

When we participated in paintball in some way or another, towards the end of last year, we would have never thought that we would be gathered like lost souls last minute to form a team for SPNS09... Through the combined efforts of BBen, SBen, Jane and Grant, we formed a team and fought our way onto the podium for the second runner's up spot at RD (Leg 1).

Come Leg 2 we were thrown into uncertainty as RD and PBAS took SPNS to a greater stage by taking the competition out into the heartlands. New bunkers, extra big spaces meant more running, more specific tactics, more places to watch out for. It took a toll on all of us as it showed during the competition - Weijun had to leave before quarterfinals due to illness, Cavin has a massive fever (got tonsillitis and MC-ed for 2 weeks), Rashid had a banged-up shoulder and was unable to play. The other team members were also suffering from fatigue from playing so much, so fast. All these factors combined to a lower placing than Leg 1. We fought to a gritty 4th placing in Leg 2.

RD and PBAS outdone themselves by securing new bunkers as well as the new location of the scenic West Coast Park. It almost didn't happen though, as the location was dependent on the number of teams joining Leg 3. Luckily for the paintballing community it did happen, and we were treated to seabreeze while playing paintball, a la Huntington Beach? Hahaha! We DMs were quite prepared for it although we were quite unsure if we wanted to join, as a few members are already playing in D3, some were thinking of giving paintball and their wallets a rest. We finally decided to make it a good one for what might be our last Singaporean PB competition. We are glad that we did, as we screamed and fought our hearts out with only 6 players and came home with a winner's medal!

We hope to emulate the success of one of our friendly rivals, the Singapore Contract Killers (runnner's up in D4 world Cup Asia) and make a name for ourselves by crossing over to Malaysia (either D4 or D3 still remains to be seen).

Work

Its been quite a ok year for me at work, no hiccups and getting promoted to Senior Tech 3. Hope it goes well for me, next year aim for Tech 2!

Studies

Its going well, only that i failed Engineering Maths and would have to retake them this sem, and that Applied Mechanics is not a easy subject to comprehend as well. Hopefully i can clear both of them with one shot.

Love

Still no one just as yet, many have asked me to just anyhow find one and "chiam see tong" (no not the politician, but the meaning - as a stop-gap measure) as well as to "gain experience". Well in a way its true that i am prolly the least experienced in the ways of love but i believe it will come naturally from the heart and that someone will appreciate it. Saying that, i prolly need to find more activities which puts me in touch with more girls in order to maximise the chances of me meeting "The One" (no not Kiko!!). Bros, Sisters and friends. U peeps know what to do! Bring more gerls out! Can be friends even if does not suit me! Good way to widen my social circle too!

=P

[Edit: I want to congratulate Edward and Eileen, who are getting ROM on the 19th of December. Thanks for involving me in your proposal, and its a pleasure to help u guys do your video. Please forgive me if its too amateurish. Its kinda like my virgin video u knowwww~!]

Bikey

I will be selling off the K7G6 and the wave soon, friends and relatives, please help me to keep a lookout if any of your friends wants to get either bike. I will be getting a S4 (full cash) for transport as i want to save more money for a car. Will be prolly getting a OPC as i have work and school on weekdays and driving will be a bitch. It will definitely go easy on the wallet too.
