Colour Your World! By: The Boss No comments

Good morning, rangers!

What a way to usher in the (low key) Merdeka Day celebration! Yes...on the 31st of August 2009, a bunch of totally crazy and fired up Expedition Rangers, commanders and friends decided to have a shootout at each other, all in the name of fun and glory! Yup...we certainly had a blast of a time shooting and killin' each other in a game of Paintball! Imagine this...waking up at 7.30am on a public holiday! Sigh...I dont even wake up this early for work...

And so...after the 32 faithfully gathered in church by 8.15am, we finally made our way to TT Sports Park at Subang Jaya for a morning of absolute thrill. This place is located at a very strategic spot, mind you. Should you decide to jump and roll around like Rambo (and tear your knee ligament in the process), or decide to shoot yourself in between the eyes for fun, there's always SJMC nearby for that! Haha. Remember - Safety first! :)

Needless to say, once the game started...it was every (wo)man for themselves. Rule of the game - Last Man Standing. We divided ourselves into 4 groups, did a lil' cam-whoring and then things got underway. Chaotic, tactical, brutal, and adrenaline-pumping! Perfect way to start off the day, wouldn't you agree? :)

Here's the leaders and rangers signing their life away..."If you lose your head in the process, we will not be held responsible....etc etc"

Some just partied the night away...and woke up wondering, "What happened? Where am I?"

Team 4 - The Good (looking) Ones...except for Trisha! :)

Team Leopard Pants - You'll know what I mean later on...hehe

Team Underage - cos majority of them are below 21 and lack the fully-developed brain of an adult human bean...being, I mean. Haha! Esp that 'Fresher' dude...

Here's the team to watch - All killers and campers! Haha. But they had a good tactic.

Cmdr. Reuben starting the day off with a word of prayer...asking God to preserve our lives and let us live to see the next sunrise. Thankfully, none suffered any bad injuries or wounds. Thank God for that! Its been good, great fun...

This fella was so semangat...he decided to start practicing holding his air gun. Not bad la...he's got the pose and the steady look. Who's this dude, anyway??

Mat Rempits and Minah Rempits of Sel #6!

All geared up and ready for battle! This time...all the guys decided to be macho and come in shorts! For some, this proved to be quite a painful lesson. Haha!

Ah hahh! Leopard on the lose! Check out the pants, wei...classic retro gilerr! Oh well, everyone was out on the hunt for the prized kill - Cmdr. Kenny in his funky leopard pants! Haha...

Shot of the day - The One-Eye-Jack, Amy Tan! Good la...thank God she had her mask on. If not, then end up like Captain Barbossa! Remember that dude from Pirates of the Carribean?

The ladies were fired up for this event. Dunno why...but they wanted to take this opportunity to vent their frustration at some of their favourite commanders and rangers! Haha...

The teams gather in an 'anak ayam formation', waiting for the marshall to shout the countdown before all hell breaks loose! Haha...some even died right at the start...barely 10 seconds into the game! Tsk tsk...

If my memory serves me right...that looks like Amy Tan, who was brave and tiny enough to make a run for the middle bunkers un-noticed!

Tag team in action! To win this game...going solo just wont do it. You need to communicate and cover your teammate's back at all time, supporting and backing up each other esp when it gets hot out there!

I love this pose...our top killers for the day!

Plenty of happy faces after the shootout! Here's Grace and ranger Denyse...and half of Cmdr. Kenny! Sorry bro...you gotta lose weight on your face if you wanna fit in! Heh.

This is the part where the macho men gloat about their war injuries. Presenting you....the War Heroes and their Battle Scars! Haha...take a bow, boys. And well done for taking it like a real man!

This legs and the 2 bulletshot wounds belong to Cmdr. Daniel Seliong! Hurray...and congrats for collecting two shots! :)

Poor Cmdr. Kenny...he took one right at the back of his ear. Ouchh! That must have hurt...but nvm. He said its ok...cos he's a man. If the ear fall off, then only cry.

This one...no comments. He was quite proud to collect a souvenir after the game....check out the right leg, just above the kneecap. Hahaha! Nice, round tattoo he's got there! Steady la, Cmdr. Zhi Fung!

Cmdr. Jason Ong with his arm-shot wound. His circular wound didn't turn out as nice as the others! Haha...

Already he's got a forehead that even Sven Goran Eriksson cant challenge...and he had to go and collect a headshot, and make the leftside of his head swell up and grow bigger! Haha...well done, Mr. Bryan!

Our Fresher man showing off to us his home-grown armpit hair....opps, the focus was supposed to be the wound near his ketiak! Haha...I bet this one really hurts...esp when you shower! Should be fun, I reckon! :)

After a hard day's work of saving the universe and making it a better place to live in...its definitely a good time to go and chill out in McDee and have a beef burger! Here's Trisha with her funny looking head shape. Never knew it was this out of shape! Hahahahhaa...just kidding.

Thanks to the magic of camera lenses, Bryan's forehead just got bigger by another 6 inches! Hahaha...

In life...you will encounter some people who are crazy, some who are absolutely mad, and some who are beginning to lose it. Here's a good example of someone who's almost losing it completely. Hahaa...presenting you, the Awesome Foursome (minus one) and Cmdr Daniel....doing something silly with food (as usual)! Haha...

Some of the macho men who showed up for War Day. Good to have Cmdr. Kevin back home (our very own Terrorist Pilot in the MAS Academy).

Our big Paintball 2009 family photo! Dont let these innocent faces fool you into thinking that we had a docile and friendly time of Paintball! Man...it was wild and crazy. Remember, keep your friends close. And keep your enemy closer!

Also, a big shoutout to our dear friend ranger Irvin Lim who celebrated his birthday last Friday! God bless bro...looking forward to your return, for good! But I heard your younger sheep brother is swimming back to Msia earleir? :)

Alright folks, thats a rap. Its almost 3am now...and I think....I think....I need to sleep la. Take care, rest well and you'll be hearing from me soon enough. By the time you read this, our dear China man friend from Aussie would have arrived back in Msia! You'll be hearing more on this developing story soon!

Goodnight...
