A trip to PD...

WHAT AN AWESOME WEEKEND!!
But before that,


I HAVE REACHED MY 100th POST!!!

YAY ME!!

Looking back at my blog, many nice things had happened. 'What a wonderful world' was written based on what's happening and going on in my life, whether it is good or bad. Good ones are meant to be cherished, bad ones will make us grow...So all in all, it IS a wonderful world...

Anyway, as the title says it all, I shall start of blogging my 100th post about a recent trip I had with my hometown friends. (Although I dread blogging in such a noisy environment, sis friends are here, watching bloody F1 with the damn bloody speaker on, cigeratte smell everywhere... Argh!!!) Well, this trip was organized by Tan Sek Kuan, out of a BET that he couldn't pull it off. So he took the challenge and organized a trip. I have to say, not bad for a rookie..haha...although can improve on the lodging part, but then again, everyone slept well...But have to give him props for gathering all of us, although not all(some decided to FFK...too bad), but he managed to get people from Singapore (Min See, Poh Lih and Wei Kok), Segamat(Alek, Kapo) and KL(Gan, Bfong, Sek Kuan, Kok Hau, Kok Hau's GF, Zhi Wei and me). Props for that. Hopefully our next trip wil involve the rest...

The journey towards PD

So, on the 25th July, Bfong and Gan came and pick me up from my place at 7.30am, went over to Gan's place to collect some stuff, then we met the rest at Kajang. Then, we drove all the way to PD, check into a 'budget hotel' called Chola Hotel(literally budget but comfortable...like RM28 per person?). Then get ready for our 1st and main activity there...PAINTBALL!!!


Zwei, Bfong, Gan and me...while waiting for Skuan's car.

I'm actually looking at Skuan's car... =.="

Same goes to Zwei and Gan... =.="
We drove to EagleRanch(where it was suppose to be our initial lodging area, but it was fully book). Nice place though...must stay there in the future. There's many activities that you can do there. Volleyball, paintball, archery, flying fox, jungle trekking, river rafting etc. But our main objective was to play paintball. So we registered, briefed, and divided ourselves into 2 teams...GUN and BEE( coz there's only 2 gals there...Gan and Bih Fong..so Gan=Gun, Bih Fong=Bee)..actually Green team and Black team la...

In GUN's team...
Leader: Gan Sin Yee
Troops: Lim Min See, Freddie Wee, Tan Poh Lih, Alek and Kapo.

In BEE's team...
Leader: Tan Bih Fong
Troops: Tan Sek Kuan, Lai Kok Hau, Tak Zhi Wei and Tee Wei Kok.

1st battle...
Marshall yelled... 5... 4... 3... 2... 1... and the battle begin. Me running towards my cover to the left, Min See went to the right, Alek, Kapo and Poh Lih cover us..We moved forward and kept firing that the other team did not had the chance to even attack... We were swift, we were fast...I covered Min See while he ran to retrieve the flag...then he pass the flag to me, I ran back to the barrack...AND WE WON!!! The other team din even know we got our flag...BUT...they were prepared for battle 2...

2nd battle
Our team kept with the same strategy. However, the other team were much agressive and put on their guards. Firing and aiming.. I got hit, I ran out of pallets...Went back to base, and came out again...Ran as fast as I could towards 3 barrels being stack up, din managed to break, next thing you know...DONG!!!I bang the barrel and push the barrel on top down...Damn...(the marshal got brief us at 1st not to bang the barrel...=.=)This battle was much longer as both teams were guarding each flag...However, the other team managed to retrieve their flag and they won the 2nd battle.

3rd battle
We change sides. Once the marshall yelled START!! I ran from my base and started firing randomly..ala ala Rambo...haha...Then the rest of my team members managed to get as front as possible..The other team got no choice, so they had to crawl towards their desired designated cover...Then I don really know what happened, the other team managed to retrieve their flag and they won..DAMN!!

BUT...all in all, it was fun!! Although i got injured, i mean everyone got injured, except Gan and Alek, but we really had fun. I'm actually proud of my injury..hahaha...

Our battle field, notice the barrels on the left-est, that's the 1 i bang into...

Then we left EagleRanch, went and have lunch, and went back to the hotel to change to our swim wear, and we're off to the beach. We played Banana boat, pics will be uploaded later. Usually you see around 6-8 people on the banana boat, but ours had 11. Haha. Can swim, cannot swim, all went up. Something interesting about this banana boat ride is that at some point while they are bringing you out to sea, they will turn their speedboat so that the banana boat will overturn, causing everyone to fall from it...haha...fun fun fun...after that, we played in the sea til it was about almost 6(that explains the tan skin i had now..dah la already so tan...sigh) Then we got ready for our BBQ session at Wingsan's condo. Went there, set the fire, then we started our BBQ session. Me being so gung-ho, wanting to start the fire, managed to start it..YAY!! but it was TOO BIG!!hahahaha...had to throw water to it for like...3? 4 times? haha...But all in all, the food was DELICIOUS. Wingsan's bf's mom marinated the chicken wing for us and it was DELICIOUS!!!

My so called 'subordinates' setting up the fire while the
'boss'...ahem...busy taking pictures..haha.
That's Poh lih, looking at the delicious food...Yum...
Psst...he's vegetarian btw..pity him..can look but cannot eat..haha

Then something drama happen..Oh oh..by the way, we bbq-ed by the beach..haha...ok ok..so while we were BBQing, then Kok Hau spotted smoke from the nearby hill. Then he said there's a fire going on on the other side of the hill as the smoke was building up. True enough, few minutes later, we heard sirens...then I said...'erm guys, our hotel is that way...' Just to scare them la... then 1 by 1 la, started to come up with own theory la..din off aircond la, car got blast off la...sigh...but luckily, not our hotel. We dunno where is it also..haha...So we BBQ-ed, had desserts, clean up and left the condo at around 11 plus back to our hotel. Some slept early, the gals did the calculation for the expenditure and etc, some played a stupid and funny card game about questions and answers...damn sweat la that game...can ask questions about 'Who's wife will have the biggest boobs'..so everyone takes a random card, open it, and the highest number wins..meaning his wife will have the biggest boobs..damn sweat right...=.="

Slept, woke up the next day at around 9...went for breakfast, then we left for home. A few of us wanted to bring the Singapore friends for satay kajang, but they had to catch their train back.

But all in all, I'm glad that I actually join them in this trip. It's always nice to get away with your hometown friends, friends whom you have grown up with, friends whom you spend most of your life with...its...speechless...no words can describe it.. So...to those who went for the trip, am looking forward for future trips...to those who did not get to join us this time, make sure you join us next time...and pls..GO WITHOUT EXPECTATION...you'll enjoy more...like i did... :)

p/s: Will post more pictures soon when Gan has added the pics on FB...
