Advertlets Bloggers Paintball Tournament

Two (2) weeks ago, I joined some bloggers for a paintball tournament at Astaka Sports Center, Petaling Jaya. Advertlets is the official Online Partner for the most prominent paintball league in Malaysia, the Malaysian National Paintball League (MY-NPL) in year 2009!

Since the event was organised by Advertlets, registration fee was ONLY Rm10 for bloggers which inclusive of paintball marker rental fully equipped and paintball pellet. Cheap, isn’t it? So I thought, why not just give it a try since it will only cost me RM10 instead of RM90 and I’ve always wanting to try out paintball.

Those are called goggles.

This is how the battle field looks like. Each of the those thingy have their own unique names, like “snake”, “temple” and the rest I can’t really recall.

Those are called the paintball marker and the socks covering the barrel are called barrel socks. Like, duh!

The Malaysian Paintball Academy (MAPAAC).

Before the game begin, Mr. Wong, the instructor gave a briefing on the safety, rules and regulation of the game as well as how use the paintball marker.

Most of the bloggers that came for the event were first timer including me. Of course, there are those who are experience players who join the Malaysian National Paintball League (MY-NPL).

The attire recommended were long sleeves  and pants, so I wore my orange Nickelodeon’s t-shirt which was the only long sleeves t-shirt that I have. And apparently that there should not be any orange on the player shirt. Luckily they wasn’t strict with the rules.

This is a picture of us on the battle field. Can you spot me in orange?

Most of the player in our team have either no or minimal experience in playing paintball and it quite amazing that we managed to win 1st runner up for the overall game. As being said here, the top 3 winning teams will be sponsored for their registration fees for the 5 rounds of MY-NPL 2009 and stand a chance to win attractive prizes in the MY-NPL! So our team was qualified to play for MY-NPL. But last minutes I decided to pull out due to other commitments.

I did enjoyed paintball, it was fun shooting people. But it obviously wasn’t fun being shot by others. At the end of the game, I can home having several bruises and one severe injury on my knuckle. I got shot on the knuckle just before the last game and it hurt so bad till my right hand were shaking in pain. Luckily Marcus lend me his pair of gloves for the last game else I might not be able to survive.

Well, they don’t call it paintball for nothing, right?
