Paintball is 90% pain and 10% fun. I'm calling it pain-ball from now onwards. Gosh, I had this illusion that it would be so much fun, like a real-life CS scenario. Oo was I wrong, so very wrong..... everything was all honky dory until the instructor gave a demostration that shot me out of my illusion. The pellets hit the metal wall at 200miles/hr man, so not funny. PAh! Pah! Pah! at that moment, I gave carmen the ultimate crap-shit-what-the-heck-did-i-do-this-for face and she chuckled at my expression. True mark of a great friend huh, enjoying every squirm-y moment I had. Anyyways, there were 6 or 7 different terrains we had to complete. The first map was the scariest. My team decided to be campers and of course the ever so hum-ji me also camped. Ended up being surrounded by the opposing team, majority guys aiming at me. Result: Bruises on the head, back and full acknowledgment of my incompetence in aiming. My fav map was the last terrain where I managed to shoot Kenneth in the eye, of course he was wearing the mask, if not he would lost an eye and potentially die. Haha, I thought i missed the shot, but then kenneth came up and showed me the splat i made on his mask. Cool-io. That was fun, actually hitting someone. But of course, there were much more victims other than kenneth over the 6 hrs we were there. SPLAT attack!
Final verdict on pain-ball: As I quote from Ms Clarkson... NEVER AGAIN. No way in hell am I ever going to revisit that fear of pain and other myriad of emotions, bad ones i mean. There is a higher possibility of me eating celery of diff levels of raw-ness than me going for #2 painball session. But it was a good time spent with the girls. And sorry to Eunice for the friendly fire, hope the bruise on your leg isn't too bad. And props goes out to all soldiers that have been or currently in war, r-e-s-p-e-c-t mates. Functioning past the ever looming fear of being shot is a tremendous achievement. There's a reason why people change after being through war. Anyways, peace out everyone (no pun intended).
