PTE Pinky, PTE Marcus, PTE Albert and PTE Aleenor(Albert’s wife) were supposed to be meeting SGT Andy, PTE Distroyer and guys for breakfast when they were no where in sight. After calling Andy’s room, PTE Kelvin answered the call knew that he was still sleeping so we(pinky, marcus, albert and aleenor) proceed for breakfast.
Time: 0830
Pinky and guys arrived at Bukit Cerakah without Andy and group. After smsing SGT Andy for channel 3:0 and registered before proceeding into the main base.
Time: 0915
We have finally located the main base and got 2 boxes(2000 counts each) of paints, geared up and draw our markers. But our sergent is still no where in sight and General Paul(Xtion paintball) of the yellow army are trying hard to psyco us into joining the yellow army.
Time: 0930
Time for the opening ceremony started with the military band of the Royal Malaysian Army and an opening speach by Datok of Selangor(which is in malay and you think i understand?) and briefing of the objectives by the organizers. Andy was still missing.
Objective: To capture 5 of 8 flag post and holding each for at least 5 minutes. After being sure of capturing the flag poles, the red army are to be capturing the ‘fort’ which is to be considered to be the winning team while the yellows are to be capturing the ’supply depot’.
Time: 1030
After some photo taking, loading up the markers and deciding on the stand in of the Sergent which our Singaporean squad is appointed one from the organizers. By normination, Pte Pinky will be the stand in SGT. General paul later moved the Singaporean squad to the Red army along with some Napshot squads.
Time: 1045
Finally seen our fellow comarades of the Singaporean squad with a box of dunkin dounuts and I’ve handed the position of SGT back to Andy, draw the arms for Andy and the rest of the comarades, throw our stuffs down and proceeded to another tram which will bring us to the starting point of the Red army.
Time: 1115
Arrived at our starting point with the late comarades loading up their markers and comm checks, we are good to go! Last minute briefing by the general and codes of friendlies. The Singaporean squad of 8 will be on the right flank whos with no medics, the trekkers(led by a guide who works in the nature reserve itself) on the center with 2 medics and the left flank would be guys from Napshot and the japanese team(wear till super garang with ACU overalls and even helmets with ACU cover but zhao during lunch). Few are left to defend the supply depot with the sniper corps.
Team tactics for the Singaporean squad was also discussed. Scouts(PTE Destroyer, PTE Alex, PTE Marcus and PTE Kelvin) will attack the front, PTE Pinky, PTE Albert and PTE Aleenor will defend the last position and SGT Andy will give the instructions from the back.
Time: 1205
1 minuite to game start siren.
Time: 1215
5 minutes to game start siren. What the hell is going on? Arent it supposed to start 10 minutes ago? With smokers trying hard to get the last puff they could.
Time: 1228
Game siren went off, with the scouts chionging to locate the flag poles and the gunners(PTE Albert and PTE Aleenor) taking their own sweet time slowly walking. On the comms, the souts are signaling to slow down and ambush. A fire fight broke out with the trekkers around our territory. Paints started to fly from all direction. Verifing the identities between the centered trekkers and enemies using the Saparatans call. That saved at least 3 comarades from being hit by my marker.
Time: About 1245
Right in the middle of a fire fight, ‘Pssp, pssp! Pinky! Here!’ was thinking, whats happening? and whos that? Aleenor! My gun jammed! Figering whats happeing to her marker. Yeah! The cocking handle! Must have some inregular pressure that cant bring the bolt back. Cock, bolt in place, tried a few shoot. Fine!
Leopard crawl back to the best shooting position, and got 2 guys. Splat! The first shot got right into my chest and i shouted for medic. Realising the medic is only an arm away from me. Kicking me on the thigh telling me to wipe the paint myself. Fine. Joining back to the fire fight.
Kao tin! A fellow comerade from the left assuming that i was with the Trekkers. With two shots, pinning the enemy down and securing the spot before his medic arrives. Pulling me along was the kao tin comerade, Kelvin(from KL) following him for a mere 20 meters before i slip and fell with my right thigh cramming up.
Time: 1252
Comms back to SGT Andy that i needed a real medical evecuation and i am able to walk back to the supply depot where there are sure to be game marshalls who have access onto getting real paramedics on standby. On the way, i’ve spotted a fellow commarade hanging the red flag with only one more soldier guarding the flag. Looking for a position to hide, a count down of 5 minutes begun. No enemies went by and the flag was secured. Got back to the supply depot where i got my blood pressure taken of 180/70. Was given a bottle of water with re-hydration salt and told me to wait, sitting on the muddy floor. The paramedics just told me to wait and left. Being very uncomthable, i went back to the base camp by hitching a ride from a lorry which i realised that they are contractors clearing the rubbish we have contributed. Finally arrived the base camp and saw some ghillies on sale and it will be a real long walk from the base camp to the exit of the nature reserve and decided to wait see if theres anyone going off the site that i can hitch another ride to the exit.
No cars going out and its almost 1330. And i’ve decided to look for somewhere to have a rest. Chatting with the guys from the Royal malaysian army and awaiting lunch as stated on the organziers forums. Lunch not provided! As stated by General Paul which i believe on reading up that lunch will be there for us.
Time: 1445
Heard the command posts are giving out commands to the Generals for a halt for the games when they will have lunch. At about 1515, i’ve seen the phillipinos(Marcus, Albert and Aleenor) comming back to retrieve paints that they did not have enough for the next round when andy and guys are having ramly burgers just outside the red camp. Was urged to get back into the fight. Got to the nearest bus stop and got the tram back to the red camp. With the tram fully loaded with sitted and standing passengers(who are not in the games) fully equipped with markers and equipments. Everyone were staring at me while the phillipinos arms are at the camp.
Time: 1530
The games resumed with me rushing to gobble down a buger and coke before joining the fire fight when andy and the rest of the squad has already went back into the field.
Time: 1540
Cease fire order was given out. Returning to the burger stand gobbling another burger again. Seen our general getting back to the safe area where he stripped his shirt and removing the gas tank from his marker, spraying on the bruises on his body. Almost 20 bruises are starting to appear when he told us what happend; he was trying to pull people out when they were planning to ambush at an out of bounds area. it was clear that general paul wasnt trying to shoot them when the yellow was unloading his marker(keep on shooting) untill the general wrestled him down.
Time: 1600
Game on command was up and the yellow army advanced very close to the supply depot(cheating while we are instructed to return to the safe area) We pushed on for 15 minutes to get the enemies out of the area.
Time: 1620
Cease fire order was issued again. This time, its an un-sportmanship player trying to provoke a fight as that he(from the yellow army) had somehow sneaked into the backs of the reds and killed several soldiers on the back. they were arguing that he was cheatting, a malay shot the yellow soldier pointblank on his neck.
The game was called off. Lucky draw was a kelong with 7 draws, 5 with the same name. It was promised that there will be 54 prizes and at the end of the day, only 7. Its in malaysia. Boh zhen hu
