On the 24th of August, my brother, Ashton, and I went out for Paintball at Bukit Cerakah. It was his first time paintballing so he rented a Vest cause he was afraid of getting an infected wound(you know how cautious doctors are).
We arrived really early. Attendance were checked for 100+ people but there were les than 30 people at the camp site when we arrived. I started to explain to Ashton a few things about paintball and introduced him to my friends who arrived later and who were already there.
Soon enough we had our first briefing and the first game started and OMG! Because it was about to rain, my lense started to really REALLY fog up! Cause of that, I'm so going to attach a pair of fans on my mask when college starts and I go back up to Pasar Road. We only played one normal game and after that, it started to rain. Waited a while but it rained continuously a majority of the players decided to play in the rain.
Game Style: 20+ vs 30+
Duration: Until ammo or gas is depleted.
Respawn: Yes
Weather: Raining heavily
Lense Fogging: No but it was like driving during rain without using the windsheild wiper.
Winner: No idea. Just shot anything moving.
Here are some pictures taken before the games and after.
Ashton reading the newspaper while on the way to Paintball.
Luke singing 'Negaraku'.
More people rolling in.
Wow... it must be really hot in that helmet.
The new area to chrono.
Pooosers!
Briefing
Cooking station
Self-made silencer? This thing was REALLY silent!
He looks like 'The Thing'. (I'm not talking about 'his thing')
The cheif who gets pissed if you have problems with his food.
Conclusion: Ashton doesn't like paintball becuase its to slow here. Too much "camping" due to the thick cover from the natural terrain.
There aren't that many pictures because Emz did not tag along as she had exams soon so she had to focus on her studies.

Golf is a luxury game of focus, patience and intelligence. Courses kept well maintained and clean for players while club houses with good food are always around. Clean and neat clothes are worn during play. A peace and tranquil environment is needed before a swing.
Golf CoursePaintball games requires you to get dirty. Down into the dirt and bite the dust. Yeah thats right! Crawling on mud and being all rugged in our camouflaged clothings. Our fields could be anything from a thorned down, abandoned building to any point in a jungle. Our food comes only from our backpacks and is nowhere near a luxurious meal. Communicating can also be tough under certain situtations but "HELL YEAH!" we say and face havoc straight on.
Paintball Field
Paintball and golf are two very different games but no different when you say, its a "rich man's game". If golf is considered as a "rich man's game", paintball ain't that far behind. With our markers costing at least RM900 to over RM5k, just like golf clubs. Our worn-on gears costing us merely RM300+ just for the top! A golf ball can be reused over and over again until the dimples of the ball wears off or a crocodile eats it but in paintball, you gotta keep buying paint and it ain't cheap if you're on a paintball spree. Lets face it, paintball actually costs more than Golf in the long run.Golf EQs & Paintball EQs
Golf EnvironmentDuring a Golf game, you're required to stay contented and make your shots wisely to make the best use of it and achieve the best score. Paintball on the otherhand requires you to think fast, making quick decisions under harsh conditions. Your feet may be numbed by the snow around you or sweet trickling down your face along with the scorching heat of the sun, you still have to make your decisions with split second timing. There are no rooms for mistakes. One wrong move and you're out for the rest of the round or worst, causing your team to lose. A man down is a weak link.

If Paintball had to Vs. Golf, I would give them a tie but its hard to decide where there are pictures like those:-
HAH! I'll choose 2 huge hot Golf girls over a mini-sized Chewwbaka anytime of the day so... Golf wins! LOL

Relevant Post: " THE BIG GAME! -Marshall Law" -27th July 2008
Duration: 9:30am - 6:00pm
Location: Tanamera
City/Town: Sungai Buloh, Malaysia
Distance: 30km from home(PJ)
Rules: Semi-Automatic Fire onlyThe Beginning!
Man was it one heck of a day! Games started around 10:30am and went on all the way till 5:00pm! Approximately 100 players turned up and thats sweet!
Some of the Outfits which we saw during the event!:Chewbaka a.k.a Ghillie Camo(some what)Ninja a.k.a SWAT AttireHitman a.k.a Office AttireSpeedy a.k.a Speedball AttireDigital Jungle a.k.a Jungle Camo with Digital Patterns
To the ladies out there afraid of paintball and parents who thinks their daughters shouldn't play paintball, LOOK AT THIS PIC!
These leadies played paintball and they were well taken care of. Close range shots on females are strictly prohibited! (Only if you play with us)
We also had other games with different Tiers:
This area is in Lake Placid. Like mentioned in my previous posts, if there are enough players, more Teirs will be opened allowing a much more interesting game plan.
Because of the magnitude of this event, some marshalls had to hold sheilds such as this one..
It sheilds the in-field marshalls from crossfire. Taking 10 hits back-and-front isn't exactly how you would want to spell F-U-N.
Our main marshall, Adrian, an avid paintballer as well along with the other marshalls during the game. They ensured fair play. Everything went well except for....
....the first Lake Placid game when our opponents we're allowed to go on to a MUCH higher Teir and us being pinned down shouting "WHAT THE FUCK ARE THEY DOING UP THERE?!", "YOU'RE OUT OF BOUND!", "FILE AGAINST THE TEIRS!", "MARSHALL! THEY ARE OUT OF BOUND!". The game went on for a while longer but it started to rain so we pulled out and continued a new round when the rain calmed.
(Click on the pic to enlarge it. Look closely to the top, there are players up there)
Btw, in this pic, that was me in lots of grass. I couldn't file up against the Teirs so I was in fire-range of the enemy but they didn't see me... Heheheh!
As we followed up with the game after the rain, we made certain of the Teirs opened to remove any confusion during game play and also, switch sides. A few others and I volunteered to be the runners. We took heavy fire upon arrival of the choke point. Some took hits while others held the line with me. As I realised we we're on the losing end....
...I crawled forward towards the enemy, hoping to be able to ambush the opponent while I'm undercover but unfortunate enough for me, I did not realise there we're such little cover ahead of me and at the same time, I WAS ON THEIR PATH! As they got too close, I opened to take an enemy out thus giving my position away and taking a bombardment of pallets and man, can they make you bleed!
Yes, I had some wounds because they were in such close range with me.
Took hits on my marker, shoulders, mask, fore arm and even my FINGERS weren't spared! Merciless shooters!
Check out this video clip, see those guys at 2:13 & 4:05? We'll those are my enemy and thats me being shot at in the end. Person filming, Emily. Marshall spectating, Emily and Adrian.
Towards the end of the day, a few of us wanted to get a taste of Speedball so we had a few rounds.
(A small dosage of Speedball each event is recommended) -Not joking
One of the rounds, our friend, Amanda who's first time paintballing since this morning and using a rental marker wiped out a whole team of 3 single handedly. It was really impressive tho I was on that team she cleaned out.The Ending!Well thats about it. Was pretty exhausted by the end of the evening and I had to wash up, have dinner, rest and be on my way to Luna Bar, KL with Emz , Meng and myself. I was invited by a friend so I took the opportunity to get Meng to come with me since I owed him a dinner for missing his 21st Bday.
(Btw, there were really hot girls coming up to us and dancing for us! Hey Claire, weren't you suppose to dance for us too?)
