Happy Birthday MUMMY!

Had a rather eventful day. But gotta thank my darling for listening to my complaining the whole of last night about how frustrated I was. I was treated like a punching bag and my dear let me vent my frustration on him. Thanks a mil dear!

Anyway, went for a game of Crossfire at S'pore Discovery Centre with my colleagues. Company's paying for it so why not right? First time coming across the bigger-sized paintballs, quite intimidated at first but being the usual daredevil (and egoistic) me I probably didn't really show it. Haha. Had 4 teams, luckily the team I was against were playing friendly fire. The other 2 competing team were really out to kill! Shooting with auto mode man! I guess that's the difference with working class and poor students. When we play we conserve ammunition, they play they whack and replenish with more ammunition.

Took a headshot from the other team, but I quickly took my revenge in the next round. He was lucky he ran out of rounds and was out of play, if not I'll make sure he's covered in paint and in pain! Haha! Gave another lady a headshot too. Felt pretty bad cause she appeared to be a bit allergic to the paint and had a slight swelling like a big mosquito bite. Sorry! Other than that, during the last team competition I shot her on the wrist at like 5m. It probably hurt a bit, but luckily it was just a glancing shot so she didn't really bruise or bleed. Sorry again!

Had a pretty funny situation amidst the gameplay. It was the elimination round where you had to remain unshot and with ammunition to stay in the game. Objective: Wipe out the other team, either by expelling their ammo or shooting them down. So the game was down to the last 3 people. Me, Gemi (the lady I am going to shoot the 2nd time) and Lau. Under the misled of the referee, I thought I was the only member left in the team against Gemi. So strategy: Shoot at any moving objects. Then the referee went "2 against 1!", so I thought "Shit! Another enemy to wipe out." without considering the fact than it could be my teammate. I saw a head bobbed and I shot!

"Please do not shoot at your own team members!" Then it occurred to me, "Double shit! Shot wrong person!" Went over to check out the person I shot and the first thing he did was wave stop to me and said, “不要射我。”So paiseh! So I quickly siam-ed away embarrassed that I exposed my member's location and even shot at him. So diao and bo sei! But it felt good that at least I took a shot at him. No particular reason, just plain evil.

But during that whole episode, I slipped and brushed my knees quite badly. Tore my jeans and had a bad abrasion on my right knee. My 战利品 for the day. Since I managed to take down the last enemy and win for my team. Haha! Next time I'll proudly wear my torn jeans and say I did this for my team's victory. Bullshit. "P All in all I had a fun time, knowing more people and sweating it out in the game.

Derived some conclusion from the game:
1. We certainly have some very fierce people in the company. Evidence: Shooting on auto mode at 3m distance in the butt.
2. A certain someone is a major camper but you've gotta praise him for his accuracy. Sly and scheming. Shooting from behind and camping away as defence.\
3. Almost everyone in the company is very friendly (if taking this group that went as an accurate sample size). You just need to approach them and initiate a conversation.

Oh! And finally thanks Colin for a alcohol swab and irritatingly painful spray-on dressing. I'll get you for it next time. And also the er-hem you provided (just in case someone came across it and baotoh-ed both of us.

Rushed home after that to bathe and change up. Was bringing my mummy out for a dinner, 'cause it's her birthday! Age I'll be nice I say nothing about it, since it's mummy's day tomorrow so she's still the queen around here. Food was good, but I was most happy about the fact that my dear was sitting with me with my family for a meal. At least my family is interacting with him more. I must make sure everything is fine for both sides if things are to work out in the future. :)

I'm gonna take a rest. My nose is dripping non-stop. Not mucus, but just water and it's irritating cause I cannot just sniff it back. Goodnight.
