OMG OMG okok so sorry for the no-post for last weekend, been too busy last weekend! hmm... I always blog on sunday, which...is sadly the last day of the weekend  :( i kinda think that blogging on the saturday will be a lot better? but then again most of my "interesting life" comes when i am outside camp :P really! so its like 2 days out of the 7 are interesting :P lately.... i have been really busy with nerf projects... sigh the prototype that i am working on broke again. so darn sickening! everything that i do doesnt seem to be working, its like just so tempted to replace the internals completely instead of trying to salvage it. salvaging it has cost me TONS of braincells. sigh. anyway, on to the more interesting stuffs, i went for World War T last saturday! it was a really fun and tiring event! that was one of the first times that i have ran in a long while, ever since my injury. currently, im trying to run and see how things work out for my knee! also... last week was more of a test week for my knee and it handled all those stress during exercises pretty well! :D tried cycling and running, cycling was good, running wasn't really that good. Gotta work more on my cardio. hmmm i wanted to swim actually, but the naval diving unit was using it! first time ever seeing them there but oh well. poor mono-intake peeps. plus trust me, when you're in NS, stuck in camp, what else beats laying in the pool and suntanning, (while the poor lifeguard seats in a shaded area and reads his book). really priviledged to have an olympic sized swimming pool. coupled with a hot sun and hooooo~! just that you're still in camp.

World War T is actually a nerf war organised by my church subzone! its a first of a kind, and my oh my was it a success! it was really fun filled, and we got to build greater ties amongst each other! church isnt all about being all-so-spiritual, but also about having fun! we had three types of activities to play, round robin style, so we gotta play each type twice. i have footage for two of the events! wasnt the photographer, so dont expect any photos from me! when you're really having fun and playing, you dont usually do recordings of the gameplay, so... i came up with an idea! :D mount the camera on the blaster! which...er lotsa vibrations when recording since you're running with the camera! plus its kinda heavy too, but its still so cool! especially the footage :) hehe here is the footage of one of the games that i played! hmmm you can try fast forwading here and there, frankly speaking i dont have the time to edit the video now, so this is the raw version! do take note though that towards the end of the video, there is a portion that the camera hits the grass and YEAP thats all! so dont just keep watching it. hehe. it was recorded with a Sony (wohoo! go sony!!) cybershot i think?so the footage is clear enough for HD and full screen :P

*managed to fill the second half of the video with annotations because its messier during that part!*
think you're gonna need to pause the video here and thereeeee



at the start, i was panning around showing my team members! there were Chen Peng, hope i get that name right, then there is Vivian as well as jolly! who have been my awesome cell group mates all these while! oh and there is one guy from another cell group, because the event is for two cell groups, E488 and E519~! both are eastern cell groups! with the capital E :) hahaha this match is capture the flag, we have to get to the other end of the playing field, grab the opponent's flag and bring it back to base! hard part is bringing it back. we were up against really small small kids, primary school? woah! i tell ya they can be even harder than fighting against the older ones alright! because they are full of energy -_-"' surprisingly, a lot of people actually find nerf really fun! although it is created for kids aged 9+, you have college students in the US playing with it, you have us teenagers having so much fun with it!

This match was pretty epic, because it was sudden death, so what happens is which ever team that can get the other flag whilst having their own flag in base immediately wins! you can pretty much see the gameplay in the second half of the video. phew and i managed to squeeze in some time to do the captions and stuffs :)

Had a really really enjoyable time!! hahah and then there was part two on the next day sunday, which i only played for a while, as i had to help out with barbecue for another event! :D haha its my first time helping out to barbecue food for another cell group, as in so far i only done BBQs that are for cell group or subzone. like my cell group actually is there, whereas this time round it was for a totally different event! which was really interesting, learnt and had fun with my fellow subzone members! also because there werent any of my cell group members there, i was forced, in a good way to work with others who arent in my cell group! ya know, during such events, we usually stick closer to our cell group members, but this time round, no chance to, but i also get to fellowship with others, those who live in the north!


Ah thats benjamin! i got to know him during the mid year church camp, but other than that, we chat rarely on a weekly basis, unless we happen to bump into each other in church! but because of this bbq, its how i get to know these awesome "Northeners" better!!
