PAINT BALL aka PAIN BALL..

Ahhh~ finally some time to myself..to unwind and chill by my lappie and just write about my stuff and sharing my experiences..but alamak tension la write abt this time's article - m reminded of the pain, the sweat, the adrenalin, the heat, bullets zipping pass and just pure concentrate of fun..the name of the game - PAINT BALL!

So here we are at Armada Paintball, Westports to play paintball ..Located scenically beside the wharf of Star Cruise, it seemed like our warzone setting was bound to be something from a Call of Duty or Counter Strike dockyard scene, only less dramatic.. As 'unpainfull' the word paint might seem, the pellets of paint do pack hell of a sting..I mean, who would have guessed that paint could cause so much pain..enclosed in a gelatin shell, the pellets break on impact causing paint to be smeared on the target..I mean, these shells are are able to withstand pressure that propel them at 90m/s, what were you thinking that they would be gentle/painless when they hit you..

Well, this is my second time playing paintball..my first experience was in Johor with my fellow course mates.. during those times, a single shot costed 20 cents..Now its down to probably 12 cents or so..not so bad..Typically, a gun (more accurately called a marker) is provided alongside with a vest and a face mask..For guys, i'd like to warn that no crotch protectors are provided, so you might wanna be xtra careful from getting hit @ your tenders..Face masks typically cover the whole of your face and ears while the vest covers from waist up, the chest and back..That means the back of your head, your arms, the side of your ribs, your butt, your jewels (for guys) and legs are vulnerable to direct hit..Therefore, you will need extra protection!; try wearing jeans, long sleeve and additional jacket..as painfull as the bruises seen here on the left might seem, they are not..i wonder why? prolly cos of the adrenalin that kicks in during the game, i think it somehow numbs the pain a lil..
