Went for paintball. Whole team wasn't around, only Kenny and Jordan came. But team blitz was there. they were newcomers so we played with them. 3 on 3s.

I generally played dorito side since jordan was playing snake side. Learnt quite a few things from the mistakes i made.

Dorito bunker - Remember to stay tight to the bunker. The edges of the bunker make it unpredictable when balls come in along the sides.

When moving up, if i also catch another player moving up. And u see the other guy quickly take cover, don't bother hiding also, go out and BUNKER him.

I got the opportunity to play back. I believed i did a great job shutting lanes down and keeping their backs pinned in. Was exceptionally please when jordan commended on my communication which was loud and precise.

I watched the Red Sevens do some drills which i think will be good to implement into my own time or during team training. they did a snap shooting drill. where they started in a power position with the thighs in a 90 degree position then moving up to a bunker. do a snap shoot then move up to another bunker to snap shoot but the secondary bunker has another guy firing back. A real good drill. Practices snap shooting reflexes.

The last 2 games were played with a 4 on 4. with Tom joining us. And team blitz had some outlaw guy join them. They called him Jose and he's a snake player. and he's fast. I was playing dorito side and was tasked to shut him down but the bunkers didn't allow it. These last 2 games were extremely fast not even lasting 5 minutes on the field each.

The first of these last 2 games was a blur coz it happened too fast but we won. The only thing i remember was me laning back left from dorito corner and moving up to the 2nd dorito only to see tom waaayyy up front bunkering the last guy out. WOW. Epic. good to take noters from tom. he's one fo the pioneers in paintball. real great.

The last game was similar. happening fast. i remember running and gunning to the first dorito in vain attempt to get Jose out. I quickly bumped up to dorito 2 and got a guy out of the tombstone infront of snake. Think i bonus balled him, but the balls all bounced off him. and i heard kenny from the bunker just behind me and i pinned the last guy out as kenny bunkered him out. we ended the game with 4 man alive. rather impressive.

after the game i was told that jordan was pinned at the tombstone adjacent to the snake at Jose already went into the snake but Tom went up to bunker him. EPIC. a real pioneer.

And after today, i really really think i'm suited to play a mid position. A mix of both. Of aggression and passiveness. Of providing firepower yet supporting it. Damn cool. With jordan helming the snake and Derek on Dorito side, think i'll do Mid.

Heartbreakers have lost Zai to Rampage Onslaught and Roc to studies. So we're kinda short of players. There's like Kenny, Yazid, Jordan, Derek, Me, Chee Yong.. maybe Ben Junior can come back. that leaves a slot for one more guy.

anyways, i think jordan really needs to get more aggressive. Must find some drills to help him out. He's real small and that's an advantage. Imagine aggression in a small package. Damn. Snake's gonna be HOT with jordan in. So yeah. he needs to build on his aggression.


I think i want to get a rotor. lol.

This section is gonna be about fishing.

Now monsoon season. The water in jurong lake can get really dirty. Sunset way too. So avoid fishing these areas during monsoon season.

Pandan reservoir. Clear. Right side of the linkway has got peacock bass.

gonna look into using lots of yozuri and topwater lures
A long time since i've update this blog.
This section is gonna be about running and Standard Chartered Marathon.

I've bought 2XU shorts tights and an Ultimate Nutrition PR 10 single bottle.
I ran with the Standard Chartered Asics event running tee. It's good. think i'm gonna buy another shirt with the correct size (S) and a different colour.

The marathon was good. Managed to last until 39km before the pain in the calves and foot started throbbing like mad.

Gonna look into purchasing the full-length tights for the needed compression on my tighs and the calves. Especially the calves where i experienced pain in the later stages of the marathon.

Gonna look into purchasing the Cho-Pat Full Knee support. The ITB strap proved to be priceless and worth it's weight in gold or more as it supported me thruout the whole run. No ITB problems at all. But there was pain under the left kneecap along the outer side. That's why i think i'll need the full knee support.

i would also like to look into the GU energy gel packs. I saw irsyad eat one and he had energy for the last lap of the dash to the finish. Really remarkable given that he was half an hour more into the race than i was.

Gonna look into midfoot running and implement it. Think it's a good way of running. Think i'm gonna put buying of new shoes on a hold first. My Adidas Adizero Tempo are still holding good.
