Paintball in Darlington..

Went for a game of paintball today in Darlington which was organised by Leeds Paintball Society.. Signed up last week during the healthy week... It was very very tiring and fun at the same time.. lol...

Anyway, woke up damn freaking early this morning at 630am, had a cup of water and walked straight to Parkinson Building where the bus will be waiting to bring us to Darlington.. Darlington is somewhere up north.. While walking out from the flat, it started snowing.. I was like, 'Shit, am i gonna play paintball with all the high speed wind and snow all'.. and it was freezing ok.. the temp was about -2 to 2 degrees.. Since Darlington is up north, that place was even colder... the whole time i was playing paintball with gloves on..

We reached there around 8am, and we were given a pair of suit, masks and also a hopper where u keep the bullets.. then we were told to buy our own bullets... i was like wtf... i tot the 10 pounds i paid included everything.. well, i guess there's always a catch to all the cheap stuff.. and the freaking bullets were so exp.. 100 pounds for 2000 bullets.. god.. since it was shared by the 5 of us, each have to pay 20 pounds... sigh.. We were given a belt and a tube to keep our spare bullets so that we can refill when we ran out of bullets during a game... we were given free burgers and hot drinks for breakfast... after eating, we went into the game site...


Leeds students putting on their war suit... lol...


The mask.. freaking smelly and during the game, the glasses are so blur that u cant see much..


Lauren and I before the game started..

me with my mask on...

We played about 8 games in 4 different sites... First one was the normal paintball site like the one i played back in malaysia where the first team to bring the flag back to the camp wins.. Wasnt a good one, got shot on my thumb and have to walk to the side... sigh.. and once i reached the side to check on my thumb it was already swollen... damn painful man..

Then the second site was quite even better... they call it the VC site where there are jeeps around and we were split into 2 teams, vietnam and americans.. the attacking ones would be americans and the defending ones would be vietnamese... the defending ones were suppose to defend the so called chapel so that no americans can enter and if any americans enter, the team lose... well, i was in the defending team, so i picked my spot and just defend from there with some other brits.. they were making jokes during the whole game and one of them even asked me, what do your family think when u told them u're goin for war with the vietnamese.. i was just smiling all and the other brit answered, i dun care what they think, jsut get this damn thing over with,i'm fucking hungry.. lol... jokers la they all.. lol.. in the end someone shot us from the back without any of us realising it.. lol...

We went out for a break, i din know they provide free lunch as well but i had to wait like another hour.. so i went and bought myself a burger that cost 1.50... i paif that fella 2 and guess wat.. he returned 3.50 to me.. i just walked away quietly and pass the 1.50 to lauren who was hungry as well... lol...

Then came the dirtiest site of them all.. the trenchers.. we have to crawl through muddy grounds to get to the opponent's side to win the game.. and there were thorns everywhere...thank god my cousin bro bought me a pair of gym gloves.. it proved to be a life saver since my other gloves was quite bulky which make it hard to shoot and i din want to dirty it, i used my gym gloves where the fingers are exposed... and my shoes were soaked in the muddy waters.. damn sakit hati...lol..

The last game was not a fun one if u're defending... the defending team will be placed in a fort and no one can come out from it as we were suppose to defend inside.. the opponent wins if all the team members in the fort are shot and walked out... i walked out once i saw most of my team members were shot as i din want to be shot by more than 10 fellas at one go.. lol...

Since lauren and i already ran out of bullets we decided to walk to the waiting zone and take some pictures while the others will play one last game just to finish off the bullets.. lol.. However, we only managed to take a few...






back from war..




muddy shoes.. i'm gonna have trouble washing my shoes as well as my socks.. i damn smart, wore white socks... sigh...


And lastly, the boys and their guns.. lol...

That's all for today's activity.. fucking tired now.. gonna head to the bed soon... lol.. today was all good even though i have to pay 20 pounds extra and it was a good experience playing paintball in cold weather.... to those who have not played paintball before, go give it a try... till then.. cheers...
