Extreming at Extreme Park

Extreme ParkA few of the Triple D club members including myself went to Extreme Park last Sat.. I had small group the night before and I was effing tired when I woke up on Sat as I have to be at TS by 7.30! I was late so I arrived at around 7.44 but Wong Sifu arrived 10 mins later. Then, Hein Yew made sure there were 16 of us then off we went to Extreme Park by a school bus. Josh was acting as an announcer of a train. Announcing each LRT station as we went pass them. I fell asleep immediately cz I only had 4 hours of sleep! Then, they woke me up when we arrived there.

We expected to arrive there in 1 hr 15 mins but surprisingly the trip only took 30 mins! It was 8.30 when we arrived, so its not opened yet. As I haven't had breakfast yet, I went for breakfast at KFC. We waited and waited and waited until 9.15 when the instructor came, he told us to start with Wall Climbing first so we divided into 2 groups and my group went for Archery first and the other group started with Wall Climbing. Archery was easy as I tried it before a few years back. Most of my shots were on the target and my group were amazed at my accurate shots. After Archery, we exchanged places with the other group. Wall Climbing was initially quite tough as the foot and handholds are quite small and hard to hang on to them. I did it 1.5 times as my arms had no more strength after climbing halfway.

It was Flying Fox after that, it was exciting but not as much as in the NS camp 2 years ago where it was much longer than the one in Extreme Park. Some of them were afraid of heights so they closed their eyes and held on the the rope tightly as they slide across to the other side. Then, we had lunch at Burger King and I ordered the new "Angry Whopper", it was effing spicy with all the chillies and hot sauce in it. After lunch, it was the best activity ever, Paintball! We went to take our gear inside the store room. Then, we walked to the Paintball area where we were briefed on the rules of the game. Its a 5 on 5 game so in the first round, I chose to be a sub as I wanted to take a rest first.

The first round ended with the other group winning when Michelle grabbed the flag.So, I replaced Hein Yew in the 2nd round but we lost again as the flag was again captured by the opposition which was by Josh. In the 3rd round we planned a strategy and it resulted in a victory as Shafiq grabbed the flag when Hui Jen & I kept the opposition busy as we fired our markers unceasingly and I accidentally fired 1 of the instructors in the chest! He was puzzled as we didn't know who shot him. I pretended that I didn't know about it. We emerged as victors again in the 4th round when Hein Yew took the flag and threw it to Carmen and I managed 2 hits on Josh when he tried to grab the flag. I landed another one directly on Wong's face mask. Headshot! Then came the final round where the winner of the game will be decided as we were geld to a 2-2 draw so far.

The final round was a deathmatch and it was NO MERCY so if one of us gets shot, he/she continues until he/she runs out of pellets. Mine ran out pretty fast and I was shot in the face by Mich.It didn't hurt but the pellet than deflected of my right arm was really painful! In the end, my group won 3-2! Simon & TK still had pellets so they did target practice on bottles that were hung on a tree. It was a really tiring and my face was perspiring from the face mask. We then went for  a shower and changed. We were thirsty and dehydrated from all of the activities, so we walked to a nearby mamak to have Teh O Ais Limau. It was ultimately refreshing when I sipped it. We quickly finished and walked back to Extreme Park. Hein Yew was already waiting there and we snapped pictures with the instructors. The bus shortly arrived after taking some pictures.

I was so tired that I immediately fell asleep after taking a seat in the bus. Hein Yew snapped pictures of us sleeping! The bus driver dropped us at the Hang Tuah station so it was easier for us to go back home. I quickly took a cold shower and went to sleep. That was one of the best outings I ever had!

Aftereffects of the activities :

1. Archery - Ached arms

2. Wall climbing - Strength & energy loss

3. Flying fox - Indescribable pain (for the guys) in the groin

4. Paintball - Excruciating pain at the spot where the pellet hit, mine was in my face and right shoulder..
