Always be remembered.

May this time of trial will unite everyone regardless of race or religion, to join hands in prayer, to pray for peace to our country, to keep all of us from harm.

May God save Sabah, Sarawak, Labuan.
May God save Malaya.
May God save Malaysia.
Have mercy on us.  
Grant us peace.

Amen.

Pain, paint, paint~!

I think I kena paintball overdose syndrome.  

May, June and last weekend, July is my almost non-stop paintball activities almost every weekends.  Every person that I met also remarked that they seen me in few different places in short span of time based on my updated activities in Facebook.  

Ramadhan came and it's a relief to me.  Really relieved because at least I can rest from traveling for events or running the local events for a while.  

So, in case you were wondering,  I was in KK last month for the Sabah Paintball League, then a week or so later, I touched down Kuching for the Kuching Cup 3 vs 3.

Us....Splatz1 Katz

Borneo ladies rock the field!

With another all ladies team, the SuperGrass - which gathers up players from Sarawak and Brunei

Carole from Kuching (center, white top with pink headband), Lulu from Brunei (right, black top with colorful headband), Nia from Kuching (left, red shirt), Daff from Kuching (back left, blue top), Yours truly with purple headwrap, Arry from Sabah (next to me, red headwrap) and Joanne (behind Lulu).

Can you spot me in the video? Hehehehe~

Anyway, after Kuching, a week after that I sail off to Labuan as the head referee for Labuan Pusatko Open 2013.  

 Though tiring, but our accomodation was arranged at Papaya's Beach Lodge...

All the tiredness just fades away with the peace and quiet environment here...

Who says only grown ups plays paintball?  This 3 siblings are no more than 15 years of age, they stole the attention away from the Open division players and guess what, their team won GOLD for Rookie category!

Happy winners....Team United Paintballers (a team consists of players from Sandakan, KK and KL) with Team Crazie Darkside (Sarawak, KL & Brunei) all smiles with their winning trophy.  2 days of hardwork finally paid off!

one for the album with Labuan referees and Team Crazie Darkside...

you guys are bullies! LOL~

Barely a day I arrived from Labuan, an unexpected job came in.  A referee friend of mine, Vicky asked me if I can help out for the Sandakan 3 vs 3 Challenge that very same weekend.  So, 4 days after that...yours truly flew to Sandakan...

 Oh yeah...travelling in style! =p

I salute this uncle for enduring the sun and rain to be in the field with us.

He is also a paintball player but this time around, he asked if he can get inside to be a paintball ref.

Honestly, I am a little concerned since I never worked with referees whom are 20 years older than me, and kept reminding him that if he can't go on, I would understand, but he finished the tournament anyway and still in good spirits!

If this is not putting the younger players in shame, I don't know what will.  

 A gift from Vicky, all the way from Japan!

Thank you!!!!!! 

 Me and Vicky, with the Sandakan Referees

Teams that came all the way from Kota Kinabalu, Tawau and Sandakan respectively.

Well...last weekend's Sandakan trip is to end the half year of paintball season for me in 2013.  Now that Ramadhan is here, I can take this opportunity to rest, and yes, will be travelling again in a week or so...but this time, it's nothing about paintball (well, almost) hehehehehe~  

I can't wait to meet up with some friends.

Till then, see you in next post!

More Paint, Bruises Coming...

Seems like there will be an almost back to back tournaments I am going to get involved with.  Seriously...I didn't realise it until I was checking on the calendar to mark the tournament days to realised that.

So...what do I had in my schedule for weeks to come?

CAP3 Event this saturday...(25/05/2013)

 

Sabah Paintball League Cup (Round 2) next week... (01/06/2013 - 02/06/2013)

Not long after that...Kuching Cup 3 vs 3 (15/06/2013 - 16/06/2013)

and...soon after...

PusatKo Paintball Open 2013 Labuan (29/06/2013 - 30/06/2013)

So...there will be more paint, more bruises, more sunburns...hopefully, losing more weight!  

hahahaha...!!!

Backdated activities, trainings, makan as such...

I know, I know, I know...that I seriously had almost neglecting my blog.  Sometimes I do feel like wanted to update something but...you know, it's just kind of hard to break this habit.  *sigh*

Well, in case you were wondering what am I up to, all that I can say that I am doing pretty much the same thing I did...paintball trainings...and yes, next month I will be playing for a tournament in Kuching, my first speedball tournament in the country with a team that will made it's debut that day (will announce it as soon as it's making appearance lah *so perasan la AngeLBeaR...* . 

Being someone who just picking up playing...after being a referee for years, I know that I had to work extra hard for it.  Ya lah kan...orang stand pun tak betul, how la? 

But I do grateful that I still had people around me that never give up to train me, and telling me the things that I need to improve more.  Friends that never stop giving me support.  

2 markers that I am currently using to train.

Top one I named it Mr. Mac (belongs to Ari, in which I had it with me for safekeeping for the time being)

bottom is Ms-T (short form for Tsunami, the model name of the marker)

Most of my sifu's (yes, I trained with more than just 1 player) told me that I am improving - which is a good thing, right?  But somehow, I still feel like there is more to achieve, and I am still searching for it. 

Anyway, makan-makan is not excluded in my activities.

Sweet and spicy beef tripe from Kah Hiong Ngau Chap restaurant...not for the faint of heart.

A visit to Kah Hiong Ngau Chap Restaurant won't complete with these delicious 'ngau chap' or beef noodle soup. =)

Eating from a chopping board, creative presentation from Ooze Cafe

(somewhat reminded me of Jamie Oliver)

Fish kon lo mee from WanWan Coffee Shop for breakfast...

Fresh Taco Salad from Pancake International House for lunch the other day...

peace waffle for dessert, also from Pancake International House...

Fresh green seaweed to the heart's content from Pak Din Ikan Bakar...

Heavenly ice cream from Veda Blu...(Arry said she'll have me walk home if I just take 1 scoop, no kidding!)

Can never have enough of this famous 'Ikan Terbang' from Koki Bandung...

Sorry Ari, stock sudah habis...hihihihi~

Joanne is keeping us fit fat by bringing more goodies to the field.

My brother is not helping either.

Managed to find time for a short moment of peace...by Tanjung Aru Beach.

How I wish I am armed with my humble cam...but this will do.  

Love this shot of the Taiwanese couple.

so yeah...till the next post! 

Some Other Random Things I Did...

Some people might be surprised to see me in unlikely places.  

In an office, for example, they said that I look different from the 'AngeLBeaR' they used to see in the field.  You should have seen their faces whenever they saw me being 'lady like' (very much to my mom's approval) but how can you wear those pretty outfits that you got in a paintball field?

2 days ago, Leanna came to KK and asking for a favor.  There is an oil and gas exhibition going on at Magellan in Sutera Harbor so, yeah...yours truly to help her man the booth.  (Seriously, from paintball to engineering?)

Not that many exciting things I found or grab for this time, though.  (Yes, I changed my surname everytime it involves with this company.  Automatically, the director of this company has 3 awesome (chewah) daughters instead of 2! Hehehehe~)

But I do glad, these 2 days I meet up with some familiar faces though...from paintball! =)

 Met Ollie, one of my former Splatz1 team mate.

Notice the pink jacket? I recently got them from Brands Outlet.  Can't resist my favorite color...and yes, 

it's very cold in the hall so the jacket comes in handy. =)

 Ah...Riezanie, my team mate for the KK woodsball group.

He's here too to represent his company. =)  

See how 'tall' I am? hahahahaha~

The weather is favorable on the 1st day of the exhibition.

Managed to capture the sunset... =)

On the second day, which is yesterday and also the last day of the exhibition,

Gracy came for a visit!  =)

Andy and Sacha too!  =)

Sacha brought some of her dark chocolate cake and a small tub of ice cream to go with it.

Heavenly!!!!

Ah yes...

Managed to pose one for the album...

Photo taken by Leanna. 

=)

Anyway, it's been an awesome 2 days.  Thank you Sacha for the nice cake!  =)

The Bear with the Trigger

One of the things that can be found in Taiwan are airsoft guns.  Well, just for the sake of looking at it lah.  Can't even dream of bringing it back for legal reasons, plus...I am not into airsoft (no pun intended)...just a look will be enough.

So, cannot bawa balik..pegang pun jadi.  Hehehehe...

 The owner allowed us to touch, feel and see the guns...even took photo with it. (maybe because we're foreigners I think) =p

My brother's mean look....LOL!

Yours truly...mean-looking bear? hehehehee~ 

Note:  Just like paintball markers, airsoft guns are not toys.  It can inflict serious injury and in some cases in overseas, death.  Kindly consult the authorities before thinking of getting them.  Bringing airsoft guns/paintball markers out in the public are serious offense.

Sneak Peek: Taiwan Trip

Still sorting out photos for the blog!  

Anyway, here's a little sneak peek during my trip in Taiwan:

Proudly bringing our state and country flags with us.  A photo before we fly from KKIA Terminal 2.

Arrived in Taipei!

 Waited for almost 20 minutes in the cold for our bus outside the airport.

It's 14 degrees out there...the wind and all.  We're Malaysians and not used to the cold...

 Behind me is the tournament field in Taitung.

New experiences, new friends. =)

 Photo with the team in Taitung during the player's party.

 In one of the night markets in Taipei.

Street performer acting as a cat~ =p

This beautiful white dog caught my attention.

Was speaking to the owner asking for her permission to touch her dog.

ps:  That dog is 8 years old.

Saw a man with some beautiful dogs including this Collie.

She is one of the strays which was rescued and then trained as theraphy dogs

for the elderly and sick children.

Till the next post! =)
