SMUX Xseed Paintball

This event was our first event and the organizing period was quite packed and rushed. Hence, we were feeling quite anxious a day before the event, wondering if everything would go as planned.

The day finally reached. Fortunately, most of the participants reached school on time,  giving us ample time to do administration work. Although there was miscommunication with the bus driver in the beginning, it was solved quite quickly and we proceeded to johor bahru on the time which we had planned.

It was a fun ride there as everybody in the bus was mingling with one another, sharing their feelings and anticipation for the event. The entire process at the check point went faster than what we had thought it would be.

Finally we reached the paintball venue! The weather was at our side and the venue was great! It has many different combat fields. Also the instructors were very helpful and detailed in their introduction about paintballing. However, there were some delays at the beginning due to some administrative work, resulting in some people feeling impatient.

Without wasting anymore time, we proceeded to the games. The people were broken up into different groups whereby they were allocated different fields for their first games. The games were very exciting and breathtaking as the people inside the field zoomed from one corner to another strategically. Their goal was to take the flag in the middle of the field, before the opponents. Everyone in the field was eyeing for the flag and at the same time, attempting to shoot down opponents. Indeed, when you are hit, it is quite painful, but the intensity and exhilaration in the field overwhelm you such that it is nolonger that pain.

The event was quite well organized as everyone had played at least two times, at two different combat fields. At the end of the event, many people had with a great sense of joy and satisfaction. Afterwhich, we proceeded to Tamah Sentosa Seafood Restaurant where everyone indulged in cheap sumptious seafood.

All in all, the day went quite smoothly. Although there were some hiccups in the beginning, we managed to bring it together and made our first event a big success!
