Paintball Weekend

Saturday’s team building session was quite a blast to my pleasant surprise…
I was quite skeptical in the beginning because I wasn’t quite sure everyone was going to turn up. But the turnout was good, could have been better, but it was good enough.

Well, the entire day was really packed with activities, whether it was games, brain storming sessions or simply a tea break for everyone to loosen up and mingle….

Paintball was scheduled after lunch. Bad timing, but I guess there was no other better slots. After lunch is always the dreamy, drowsy time for everyone. So probably the paintball can perk up all up! We were all pretty excited about it and awaited patiently for our new team list to be formed after lunch.

We were all divided into 6 teams, 3 teams in group A and 3 teams in group B. Surprisingly, all the team leaders were females. I was the assigned team leader for Team 6. It wasn’t an easy task because I had 3 guys in my team. And one of them is also another of tanned skin origin like the big bully in my office…..(kua kua…)

Anyway, once we grouped ourselves together, we went through a precaution lecture to what are the potential dangers, risks and game play necessary before the action.

There were 2 mission involved:
1. To knock down 2 opposing targets
2. Once the targets are down, we are to bring a box back into home base.

Once the box is back into home base, it’s one point for your team. There will be 2 sub games for 2 competing teams. Because we have 3 teams in each group, we have to play 3 games each, a total of six games to decide who goes to the semi finals. The winning team from each group will then play in the finals to earn the champion team title!

So, one game lasts around 5 to 10 mins or so, depending on your efficiency in accomplishing the 2 missions.

My team lasted till the semi-finals before my dear tan colored fren decided to take things into his own hands and go for the box without ensuring that the targets were down. So instead of winning the game, we lost disgracefully,we were disqualified!!!!! And at semi-finals! wth man….haizz…but I was too tired to start blaming him. It was after a good night’s rest that the thoughts of a unjustified lost finally seep into my rested brain….It was then that I realized that he was listening to my instructions…Sigh…anyway we lost, thou it was an unjustified lost, well it was a learning experience and a fun one.

Other then suffering from an unglorified lost, I suffered 3 bruises, several cuts, one really battered bruise that bled and whole body ache after the whole team building session….shagged out I tell ya…But it was a whole lot of fun anywayz….=)
