Blast From The Past


On the 28th of December '12, the whole gang saw ourselves cramped in a tent, waiting for our guns to be reloaded with ammunition and nitrogen gas and being eaten alive by mosquitoes. Shah Alam's Extreme Park was the place where we were at, at 9am. On a lazy morning during the holidays, where the gravitational pull of our beds are stronger than the core, we were all up and about ready to go... PAINT BALLING.


We were briefed about the Do's and Dont's before stepping into the field. Like we had to keep our mask on the entire time we're in the field. Paintball guns uses compressed nitrogen gas and shoots pallets at high speed (velocity of 300ft/s), and with good accuracy. So if you get shot in the eye, the chances of you being permanently blind is extremely high. 


We were then separated into 2 teams which consisted of 8 on each side. Each team had to reside at their respective bases before the game officially starts. There are a few type of games for paintball, with the most mainstream ones being "tagging", "capture the flag" and "zombie". Tagging is where you basically just shoot each other like crazy. Zombie is where you're only considered out of the game if you get a head shot, and you have to leave the game walking limping out like a zombie. 



Since we were all newbies to paintball, the marshal suggested we give "capture the flag" a try. A flag is placed in the middle of the field, whereby each team has to try to snatch it and bring it back to their own base. And the fact that the field was muddy and even made our task not much easier. I fell down epically twice. Once when my tracks got hooked onto a tree root which caused me to fall on my arse, and another time where I slipped on the mud and fall head first into a bean bag >.< But it was great fun nonetheless. Definitely worth going again, especially since it only cost us RM38. Thank Buddha for the existence of Groupon.



Went to Neo @Damansara Perdana to celebrate our dear lameass's 21st birthday in advance because she'll be in Langkawi undergoing her internship during her actual birthday. Being one who is punctual most of the time, I ended up being the last to arrive no thanks to me and my navigator's lousy sense of direction. But to be fair, we only took one wrong turn... Of doom because it took us to and back from Holland lol.


 Pretty birthday cupcakes from Wondermilk. I remember Wondermilk cupcakes being all the rage back in secondary school. Its like for every birthday or occasion, all I see is Wondermilk cupcakes lol. I think the more mainstream flavours like chocolate or blueberry tastes better than the ones with royal icing though. Us girls cam-whored a bunch with these cute cupcakes.


And whats a birthday pool side party without someone being thrown into the pool?! All of us initially planned on swimming but most of us were either too lazy to change and shower, and also because our tummies were stuffed with loads of good food. Mmmm the pork ribs *salivates*.


So we just resorted to sitting by the pool while watching the boys swim. Soaking our feet gives a sense of comfort and tranquillity. I'm so loving Ellen's skeleton cut out tank-! But don't think I can pull something like that off because I'm just not bad ass enough. Loving my Forever21 Sanrio Hello Kitty top more though ahaha. Come to think of it, I think it suits better as a pyjama top rather than a casual one. 


YWen suggested that we'd do a Secret Santa gift exchange before finals and we finally managed to exchange presents that night. I still feel quite guilty because I only managed to "wrap" both WeiMae and YWen's gift a few hours before the party. But I think I still did an okay job because it looks presentable *pats self on back*. I still can't get used to opening my presents in front of other people, especially the person who gave it to me. 

It's really not that I don't like the gift, because I'm the "its the thought that counts" sorta person. But, I don't know how I should react? Also, I'm not really good at hiding my displeasure. I'd rather someone give me books, or money or makeup. You can never go wrong in presenting me these few things. But I loved my gift for that night, handmade natural soaps from Stoner =)


Good food, great company, magnificent view... All of which sums up a good PG13 night.We were also talking about how the venue that night would make a great place to watch the fireworks for New Year's Eve. But sadly it was already booked :/ Owh well, there's always next year.


 Happy 21st in advance my dear lameass-! Its definitely not an easy task having to put up with your lameness of infinity and beyond, but you have your moments and it has been a wonderful and pleasurable semester getting closer to you. And you might or might not be happy to know that I am now sucked into your ultra lame vortex of doom, spiralling down rapidly in fact ahaha. Love you always and have fun interning in Langkawi <3


As for my New Year's Eve plan, it has been decided that it will be the last year that our gang ever goes clubbing before the new year. It just isn't our thing anymore and we're getting too old for all this shit *9gag*. Found ourselves at Aquasonic @Sunway for the first time that night because reservations were full everywhere and from what I can conclude from the pictures, Aqua seemed big enough to hold a crowd for New Years.

Boy, was I proved wrong. It was crazy packed by midnight, like the worst that I've ever experienced. It was soooo bad that at one point I couldn't even walk and was basically pushed around by people from every direction. If only that much human pressure can decrease the size of my arse, at least I'd be fine with that. Was forced out of the club around 1.20am (because of the massive crowd) and passed out on the mini grass field outside harhar. Read this, I SWEAR that I will never ever let myself get to that degrading point ever again. Period.


Promising the girls to that I'd have New Year's/Michelle's birthday breakfast with them at Antipodean @Bangsar the next morning was a really stupid thing to do too XP But at least the inner drunken hero in me managed to crawl out of bed, get dressed and even arrived on time. Also, if it weren't for Andrea, I probably wouldn't have been able to wake up in the first place so, Buddha bless your soul babe =)


Salmon omelet with wheat bread and garden vinaigrette salad, the breakfast for champions drunken hero's. Had to share this with Andrea because I was experiencing the mother of all hangovers and was feeling extremely puke'ish. Ooo and much thanks to YWen for giving me a ride home as well. A great and epic start to the New Year I suppose. Cheers to you all-!

Actually, I take that back :/
