Busy, busy weekend

Its been a busy weekend for me, studying, gaming, paintballing.

Did a half day OT on friday (replacement holiday for Vesak day).

Played Left 4 Dead with the usual co after school on friday night.

Met Cavin's GF and Lydia (the gang's friend) for the first time.

Was very disappointed that Cavin refused to go for paintball training in JB the next day after the game. I'm beginning to question his commitment for the team... I'm esp. disappointed as Grant had to ask Julya to take Chak's car instead so as to accommodate us in his car and Cavin simply didn't bother. Could see the disappointment in Grant's eyes when we told him he wasn't coming.

Slept at 4, woke up at 7, met Vince, popped over to Grant's place to park the bikes there. Picked up Bryan (spelt correctly?) at Tiong Bahru and went ahead to go to the SX paintball field in Austin Hills, JB. The place is quite big and nicely landscaped as it was a golf resort? The field is located just behind the main building.















The field is quite big, bigger than the SB field in RD. That pretty much gave me and Vince an idea how much different it is gonna be at SPNS leg 2 with the bigger field and all. Did some drills and had a couple of minor skirmishes before we had a rest to eat and wait for the field to replenish some paint.

Me and Vince went to the resort cafe to have our lunch after we became hungry after the adrenaline rush wore off while waiting for the paint to arrive. The food there are quite expensive and were prolly not worth the price at all. Vince had Penang fried kuey tiao and i had Hokkien mee. Drinks was Watermelon juice for Vince and 100+ for me. The bill came up to be a hefty 40+ ringgit. Oh well. At least the paint was cheap. 6 peeps paid about 40 SGD each for 2 boxes of paint! Its so cheap, its freaky! Advice after drills was given by some peeps from the teams who were playing Div 2 in the Malaysian Leagues. Great stuff. Would definitely want to go there again to train. Now abit itchy for E-Markers already... LOL! Left the place at 4 feeling all tired and well worked out. Really wished my whole team was there though... it was good practice.

We got home around 6. Went out with the parents for a "Mothers day" family dinner straight. I napped for a couple of hours when i got home before going to Cineleisure to meet Dave and Ervin. La kopi-ed at Xin Wang Cafe again and left to meet Louis and the others at Yishun Dam. It rained just as we were nearing Yio Chu Kang and we hid under the bridge. Left for dam after the rain let off abit only to find that the gang has left for jalan kayu. Popped over to Jalan Kayu for some tea and then left for dam again. Slacked there until about 5+ and quickly left after the lightning began to intensify. Wacked all the way home, rained when i was less than 2 clicks away from home. Got wet, again. ZZzz

Selpt until 12, going to Jess house later for Tai gong's death anniversary, gonna do my tutorial as well as some studying there as i'm having a maths quiz tomorrow...

Zzzz...

Shagged and Left 4 Dead

Saturday was the first time i played Left 4 Dead.

IT ISH FUN!

Damn fun.

Met cuzzies: Kenneth (and Maggie), Cavin as well as friends: Eric, Elaine(?) Ivan for the L4D session. Was in a team with Ken, Mag, Cav and me while the others made up the others + a computer character. The game is a first person shooter and is set like Resident Evil where everyone turns into zombies and survivors have to make it out of the city.

It was the first time me (LAN and as infected) and Cav played the game. Everyone has a go at being the survivors as well as the infected. The survivors uses guns and the infected uses their bare hands and teeth. Before u put off the infected, they do have special abilities which allow them to gain an advantage when you have the right tactics.

Before the game was dinner with ken and mag, we caught cav's new gf after he refused to have dinner with us but ate with her instead opposite his place. We caught them at the carpark after we went over (his place is just opposite mine) to pick him up as we had finished our dinner earlier.

We finished around 1.30am and left for home as Mag had a flight at 7am. Was gonna go out to meet dave but it rained hard. So its back to the compy for some Need for Speed and BED!

Met my DM peeps for some training/skirmish with the new team in town - The two teams of the Seeker Family, Destroy & Strike. The Seekers are very committed, esp their captain, who could be heard during the game, shouting at his team to attack. Very friendly and down to earth peeps too.

There was only time to help ref a few games and skirmish with the Seekers once before everyone had to go, we won that one with me bunkering the last player in the snake who was getting pumped full of paint from all sides.

Though we had only a couple of games, we identified a couple of things to work on, one is our communication as well as the various codes during the game.

With SPNS LEG 2 coming up fast and furious (MAY 17 @ Pasir Ris Park Near Carpark C - PLS COME AND SUPPORT MY TEAM!!!), we need to squeeze in as much training as we can, hopefully next week we can go JB to train, cheaper paint as well as bigger fields.

Went home to rest for awhile before proceeding to play soccer with the usual peeps. Didn't run as much, prolly due to the exertions in the morning. Scored quite a few though, the most spectacular of which was a first time left foot volley.

There were quite a few injuries suffered, i too got hit in the face by the ball, if i never remembered wrongly it was Marcus. I'm considered lucky though, some got kicked in the shin, ball hitting the privates, chest, stepped on the foot, etc, etc.

After soccer, me and Dave went down to Jalan Kayu for dinner. Both of us were so shagged that we left immediately for home to rest. In fact, i was so tired that i forgot the fact that i left my boots at the court. Luckily Nick kept it for me and i will be getting it from him tml.

Thats about all that what happened last weekend. Oh yeah, i was like so, so tired, that i had to take a halfday off work as i couldn't wake up in time, + it rained hard this morning. A halfday leave turned into a full day leave as i forgot to turn on my alarm and i slept until 12+pm. What a waste of precious leave... =/

Got a maths quiz next week. Wish me luck!
