Paintball or Pain war?

haha well the title speaks for itself.

Recently, I decided to brave myself and signed up for a paintball session which took place in Summit. Dome Paintball. It was reasonably cheap as we managed to score Groupon. RM 38 for 200 pellets. Well, 30 + of us signed up to give it a try. We were so excited that the facebook event page was filled with discussion on war cries, how to divide and conquer, and how the groups are gonna have war!

I was pretty damn scared because of the rumour that paintball leaves BRUISES or SCARS on your skin. As a paintball virgin, I was terrified and I google-d on the precautions and preps I should take on b4 entering doom zone.

well, look at us. so Happy to gather with friends for paintball

We gathered at Summit USJ after lunch etc. Arrived there and waited for other teams to finish so that the field will be ours. While waiting, some teams were planning how their team is going to win the game and other were just listening how LOUD the shooting was when the teams were battling it out!

Always wear something thick/baggy/long to cover your precious skin. It helps as you need all the protection you can get.

Never open your mask when you are in the field, as Anything can Happen- including going blind if any of the shot got your eye. *Touch wood*

Always listen to the marshall and keep your guns down man when you are out of the field. Remember your safety pins so that the you won't accidentally shoot when you are out of the field.

Finally, try not to shoot your opponent when you are less than 3 metres from one another. It is Awfully painful!!! And try not to shoot friendly fire on your OWN team mates. It happens.

Eventually, some of the teams were damn aggressive. I think they went delusional and determined as much to CONQUER the opponents and they thought they were playing Counter Strike 4D.

Some of us were enjoying the fun and we play as we were, not too tensed up to Kill the opponents but just backing up our team mates and focus on the FUN.

AFTERMATH


1. Bruises, be it coloured with red or brown or black.

2. Bleed like a man? Some poor soul might get head and finger shots.

3. Sweat like a ? The mask got fogged up from our heavy breathing. I guess we were too hyped up or scared of the opponents and fogged our masks.

4. Make friends like on your first day of school =)

5. Enjoy the fun and smile like a CHAMPION !

Wisdom Tooth - Extraction a big Yes-yes !

I decided to extract my wisdom tooth last week due to the 'feeling' that my teeth do not have enough space. I got that tingling feeling that  the growth of these wisdom teeth will cause more trouble than I need when I am sitting for the most crucial / torturing exams ever in my life -CLP (well, you can say life-absorbing too).

Steps taken :

1. Do not be afraid to get information on the dentist, price, procedure, possible pain going through the surgery and horror/ pleasant stories from people

2. Make an appointment to consult the dentist or get an x-ray of your teeth. This is where it is determined if you are going to go through a lot of pain in the future or it is as simple as kacang putih. (I was unlucky to have my wisdom teeth, apparently 'they' are not so wise afterall, growing horizontally as opposed to vertically. Thus, they have to be done via minor surgery- might have a lot of pain in the future )         =(

3. Jump to no 6 if you do not need minor surgery. Lucky you!

4. Be brave on the day of the surgery and FEEL THE PAIN when the dentist jab it in your mouth! Let the anaesthetic sink into your system and you will feel NUMB! Eat the painkiller given by the dentist.

5. After the anaesthetic kicks in, you will feel AWESOME. You might get extra jabs again but you will not feel anything but NICE. ADVICE- Close your eyes when the surgery starts which is NOW!

6. Open your mouth as wide as you can and close you eyes the entire time. Stay calm! The whole procedure normally takes 1 hour from the time you enter and eat the painkillers etc.

7. You are good to go from the dentist after the surgery is done.

 

AFTERMATH - you might feel pain when you talk or swallow. It is like painful sorethroat. Well, I was stubborn and ate chicken (slowly) on the first day. Do not take any hot or warm liquid/ food. Drink a lot of water and get plenty of rest. The pain will go away in days. You might get swelling on your face, so be warned! My face was out of proportion at one time!

Now- I am fully healed. There is no pain after few days and there is NO uncomfortable teeth growing in a weird manner.

=)

I donated my upper wisdom tooth to the DENTAL STUDENTS. Yay! Providing some wisdom via my wisdom tooth?
