090909

nice number, eh..? heard on the radio that it's 'Radio Day'. a friend got married last year on 080808, (yes redz, happy belated anniversary :-P)... wonder how many would have their wedding on this 090909 day. 070809 has past but didn't hear anyone talking abt it. so what's next? just wait for another 13 months & we'd see ppl making fuss abt 101010... esp those born on 10th oct... yeah, i got one of those too... how abt a computer geek who's born on 10th oct..? it would be even bigger excitement for them since 101010 are also the binary codes in machine language... :-P

hmm.. how abt 1st nov 2010..? that would be 011110, which still read the same from either end, & those geeks gonna be at it again, i guess... not only them but a few others too, just like in 101101.. :-P forgot what they call these numbers lah - the one that can be read from both ends... lets see how many there are since beginning of the millenium

- 101101

- 201102

- 301103

all in nov, eh...? moving on...

- 111111 nice ek..? ;-)

- 211112

- 311113

there'd be more if we take only 5 digit, like 03330 (3rd Mar 2030) or 02220 (2nd Feb 2020), which also can be in full numbers format - 02022020

more if i got any more ideas on this... hard to write while talking on the phone lah... ;-)

hey.. raya will be on 20th sep 2009.. that's 20092009... how abt that...? ;-)

It's here...!!!

after travelling almost half the globe, the Indy is finally here... address on the package clearly said 'COE', but then i have to go to HR to pick it up... why can't they just send it direct to me, as per address...? oh well, it's ok lah.. as long as it's here...

the travel..

west coast to east coast then alaska... all that distance when they can just cross the pacific to asia... but then again, depends on how much we pay lah... :-P

ok, guys.. here it is, the first ever '09 Independence in the country (as far as i know lah).... ;-)

- Independence landed on Independence Day..! ;-D

what's in a name...?

well, nothing except it's a reference to something, be it a person, a group or things. but then there are times when a name can get u somewhere, like if ur dad is a well-known figure (vip/royalties??) or u r a very close friend of a big bro taikor... but the latter can bring u trouble too... never been to that situation but i'd say 'almost'... ;-)

few guys in the team did voice out abt changing the team's name, mainly to be fair with all members since we originally agreed to use a 'neutral' name instead of using our old team's monicker... besides, we wanted to get a fresh name with out fresh start of the season. anyway, had to stick to one of the old name since the name supposedly has a potential sponsorship coming.... yeah, right.... if name is so important then how come a D3 or even those unknown D4 teams can get sponsorship without even showing what they can do...? clearly it's not who, or which team u r from, but who u know (& knows u in return) or as they said, how big ur cables are...

see lah if the name stay come WCA... IF the team is playing lah, which is another topic to talk abt, maybe in next scribblings... if i'm rajin enuff to do it lah... :-P

MY-NPL Melaka '09

1st ~ 2nd aug, was in melaka for the 4th leg of MY-NPL... field was nice & the atmosphere also nice.. had fun time there... game was not bad, in fact the best achievement by the team so far, tho we only got 4th place...

started on the 1st day with 8 players in total, but then carol & ila had to go back to kl due to some important bisness. we were left with 6 players to play the rest of the 7-man tourney... finishing 8th in the prelims, just enuff to get into the quarter, doesn't really help since we'd be facing the 1st-ranked team in that round. anyway, after a nite of head-cracking session in re-planning the game strategies & all, 2nd day was a fruitful one - we, the underdogs, beat the top ranked killer beez 2-0 in the quarter-final...! not bad for a team positioned at the lowest going in with only 6 players... ;-) but then lost to nemesis in the semi & ronin during the 3rd placing battle :-<

*more pix to be added later on... if me rajin enuff to do it lah...

haven't been playing the snake for quite a while, what supposedly a dive looks more like a fall... :-D

thanks to dezmond (www.residentevilchef.com) for the nice pix.

Rainforest World Music Festival 2009

went to see the RWMF on 10th ~ 12th july in kuching. thanks to the SPA gang for the accomodation arrangement. coincidently they got a booth in the SPRM's anti-rasuah karnival, so lepak there only la... so much for a non-paintball vacation, huh..? :-P

the RWMF crowd was not as big as previous years, the H1N1 is the main cause, apart from the higher ticket price - RM100 per day.

*pix collections are not editted yet, just make donno of the lousy, off-focus pix...

MPOC 2nd leg

hmm.. it happened again, or they just never learn from past experience..? D3 finals played in the dark - bad scheduling? bad organising skill..? no wonder some teams don't wanna play the mpoc

Labuan Trip

yeap.. just came back from Labuan earlier this week, & did i get to play paintball..? well, was hit by minor flu on the 2nd day, just a running nose & sore throat, but that didn't stop the paintballing... & hell yeah..! 6 straight days of paintball right from the day we arrived. it's a record since the most before this as like 3 days only.. 

lotsa memories there, new experiences, new faces & slightly different environment. ppl were quite friendly, well.. we ARE the so-called 'pro' from semenanjung, or at least the one with more experience... ;-) handling clinics, doing demos & also views on how the event should be.. consultant..? yeah, maybe something like that lah...

Labuan Open 09 - one of the best event so far. there are things that never been done before in Malaysia's paintball tourneys - the biggest prize so far, the walkways around the ground, carton of mineral water for each team, open shower & of course, the umbrella gals.. just wish there were more teams joined in, a date-clash (yeah, same date as NPL) is never good for any event... another event is planned in May, in conjunction with Pesta Air Labuan, hope it doesn't clash with ISSC09... :-/

will be in labuan again..? maybe.. we'll see come this May... ;-)

*pix will be added later...

updates...???

hmm.. nearly a month since the last entry. am i truly a blogger or just someone that gets into the 'fad'..? ntah la.. guess i'm just using this to channel out what i feel & all..

feel like writing something but now rasa tak pulak dah.. thot gonna write abt the big issue in the other blog, & also how i got part of my indy. yeap, it's here tho only the body. still waiting for other parts b4 can really test it out. hopefully b4 labuan.. aahh~~ yes, labuan.. going to labuan next mnth for 2 weeks, working for a paintball event there - 2 solid weeks of paintball, not sure abt playing tho.. but what the heck, the money is good.. ;)

hmm.. i did write something, didn't i..? well, guess just a snips abt something that i should be writing. well, till next time, yg tu dulu lah...

MAPAAC BBQ

ok.. ushering the new year in less crowded place.. where else but MAPAAC's BBQ in astaka since other place would be jam-packed with ppl.. beside, they got food there & of course paintballer friends la.. tho i'm considered as the only MPOC player there but what the heck... me not into those political shit, i just wanna play paintball wherever i can....!

ok, not much but just a few pix taken during the BBQ, more on the karaoke session - one of the fun time had during the party. other than that it was just the normal bantering from from a few, as said, i was the only not playing NPL there but it doesn't bother me a bit... :-P
