PAINTBALL PARTY

The boys wanted a GOING AWAY Party and after weeks of pestering ........... I finally relented!!! They organised the party on their own............... choose the location, contacted the organisers, printed the invites and we brought a bunch of kids from GIS (yr 4 & 6) to Kluang Mudtrekker Paintball park on 1st Dec, Sat.











I know, I know............. what about the boys not being allowed to play anything that involves violence? Well, I have succumbed.... After years of banning all violent games, I finally surrendered to kids pressure. They are even allowed to play HALO 3 (Well, that was Tim's doing actually. He snuck out and bought the game for the boys when I was away and told me it was a fantasy game!!!)











We celebreated Mathieu's 9th birthday party at the same time. The boy is SO difficult!! We spent 1 hour, went to 3 cake shops......... before he finally decided on his cake. And guess what, he wanted an ice-cream cake .......... (The paintball park is 1 1/2 hrs away, in the middle of nowhere, with no freezer.) BUT, when there is a will, there is a way…….. Dry Ice, Ice-bag, Ice cubes…. and 4 hrs later, the cake was still frozen and we even had trouble cutting it. Amazing!!!

The kids had a wonderful time!!!
Blue team won, but they had an unfair advantage.......... in fact, they had 2.
1. Commander Tim spent 3 yrs training in the jungles of Korea (on US tax-payers $$). So, he pretty much annihilated everyone... well, that was in the 1st game until the rest of us got the hang of it. We were out to GET him after that!!! Being tall is not an advantage in this game!!! (Neither is wearing red...... Paul (Grace & Alfred's dad from my team) was a really good player, but not only was he tall, he was wearing red......... yap, he got hit alright!!!

2. They also had the best player : Grace!!! GO GIRL POWER!!!














Matthew O from my team was doing really well.... He even got the flag, but he got the wrong one.... sigh.

The other Mathieu (P), also from my team, was doing good too but brother Nic was always out to get him!




Problem is those balls really hurt!!!!

Matthew O & Riku got hit in the face and were super brave.....







YES, that's my arm!!!! And that's the boy (George) that did it!!! He hit me 5 times!!






Boys told me not to worry, only good players have wounds.......... the bad players are too coward to attack!!!! hehe.
