357. A good weekend
Saturday (25th March)
After work, got back home and tried to catch some zzzzzz in preparation for a long nite ahead. We're suppose to have dinner with Edmund & Mei Sieh. After that, will watch the Liverpool Vs Everton match. And later, proceed to Flix for drink with the guys.
It all came to pass, at 6:30, we headed out to Sebai Sebai at green lane for Thai food. It's Ed's treat as we're celebrating, in his own words, the 3 legged horse crossing the finish line (The 3 legged horse, refering to himself being so slow & the finish line refers to marriage). :) He proposed to Mei Sieh......finally. :D Surprisingly, the food there was really good. I always used Cherry Sweet as the benchmark for Thai food. This one is up there too. This is also the first time I see the Jack fruit dessert (Tháp Thim Kràwp) in a punch bowl. Normally they give u a small little bowl which is barely enough. This time, I had more than 2 servings. Yummy :)

The happy couple; My new Thai food place (parking is a problem though)
By 8:30pm we're out of Sebai sebai and racing home to watch the 8:45pm match. It was a horrendous start to the game. Liverpool's captain (Steven Gerrard) was sent off after 18 minutes, now Liverpool is one man short. But just before half time, Phil Neville entered and own goal which puts Liverpool ahead despite the one man handicap. Strikes from Luis Garcia and Harry Kewell seals Liverpools victory 3-1. That was an exciting match to watch.
Watching the game on the big screen
Quickly rushed over to Flix after the match to meet the guys. It was a pretty good crowd. Everyone was there. Anthony will join us as soon as he flies in at about 1am. Ran into Jee Howe and his gf there too. We called it a nite at about 2:30ish.
Tomorrow we're suppose to meet at 10am to inflict pain upon each other :D
Sunday (26th March)
Woke up about 9:30ish. It's drizzling. So figured I'll give it another 30mins to see if the wheather clears up. If it doesn't, our paintball session will be cancelled. Luckily by 10, the wheather clears. So I gave the guys wake up calls. So far only Dennis and Jack resplies. So guys it's just the 3 of us. Didn't know what to expect actually. So just put on some old rags and head out. It was really fun. Despite getting shot and wounded (this is not a figure of speech), I got myself shot pretty good. :) The owners were kind enough to lend us their personal air rifles (called markers) to have a go at it. Big mistake! they were a lot more powerful and accurate. A big mistake on our part I mean. We went head on with one of the "pro" there and gosh, that's when I got hurt. Ouch! Needed the adrenaline rush though. 'Twas fun. This could be a real fun weekend activity. Heh heh. Perhaps we should make this a weekly affair in the name of excercise. Could be a costly affair though.

The battle ground; The arsenal (they're not called guns, they're markers)
Before (International Man of Mystery); After (Ouch! ouch! ouch!)
Close up of my battle scar; You can tell I took quite a few shots
Me brandishing one of the most accurate marker available in the market (according to the owner)
After licking my wounds, went over to Gurney Plaza with Seng, Fen, Wee, Raine and Ruyi. It's nice to just chill after "working out".
After shopping headed home and mom had steamboat prepared for us. :) This is trully a good weekend.

Wow... gotta get my hands on this when i get back. Sounds painfully interesting. Say, doesn't it come with the outfits? Man the bruises looks pretty bad... maybe the fact that you are fair made the bruises look worse that it really is :P
OK, here are the points that made it more painful than it should be. You can see from the picture of me showing off my biceps, the 2 lower bruises were before the weapons change and the top bruise and my finger blisters were after.
1) we all very macho, didn't want to wear "armour" (actually the people who runs the place tells us we don't need to coz it limits mobility, we didn't take into account that for us, armour was probably more important than mobility).
2) We got "bored" of the standard rental markers, and wanted to play with them personal markers. More powerful and accurate they are. Even by just increasing the length of the barrel, you improve accuracy and distance (lessons which i learnt the hard way).
3) I went against the people who runs the place. Why? errrr, we are crazy, we like S&M or it could just be that it was early in the morning and our brains weren't in gear.
Don't do the above mentioned steps, and you should be having a good time.
