Paintball!

Went for paintball at the start of my hols. It's a 1-2 hr drive away from the city where we car-pooled to get there and was kinda high up in the mountains. turned really foggy on our way home. Got shot badly on my arm and thigh, esp the thigh! The bruise was so big & ugly & it only disappear ~4 wks later when I've started school already arghz. hahaz

The last game which was the live firing was simply nerve wrecking but really exciting! There were only wooden stands and metal barrels around in the open space, unlike the green surroundings that we had for the previous games - full of trees and grasses for us to hide in. Paintballs flying everywhere, continous shooting, barriers and barrels vibrating from the shots & etc. definitely add to the adrenaline rush :)

hmm but got into a car accident on the way back. At a roundabout, think the car was going rather fast, somehow it lost control and crashed into the slope in front. Luckily it's sloping upwards instead of downwards phew! The 3 of us gals sitting at the back seat went swinging around in the car, forwards then sideways on my side & my head hit the window screen. Gosh it was a hard & resounding one manz. Didn't remember being hit so hard on my head before. My fren suffered an abrasion on the leg & luckily, there was no fracture after the check-up at the hospital. Hmm but come to think of it, we didn't have our seat belts on -- eh we juz left the place only & think coz were kind of chatting, cleaning and changing our shoes that it slipped our mind [oops]. The car was sent for repair but it turned out that it was in fact not worth repairing as it's value was merely $800! Come to think of it, it did seem like a pretty old car. Our driver actually had some nightvision problem too. But guess it's not all his faul..he's a really nice guy & probably the car's engine was rather old so it went out of control. We should have fastened our seat belts too.

At that instance, after realising that the car was not turning round the bend but going fast straight ahead instead, I remembered that my mind was a total blank and had the feeling that we're indeed going to crash anytime soon. It happened juz sooo fast that at the end of it, I felt momentarily stunned. Being in a car accident definitely doesn't feel good but made me realise that life is indeed precious & short. Anything can happen; literally everything. Didn't expect myself to get into an accident. Anyway no one else would also right? Whenever I'm in a car now, the seat belt will not be forgotten too.
Nonetheless, I really enjoyed myself and had FUN. It's a must go + will want to go for it again still! :D

Back to Sch..Back in IH

whoa realised that I hadn't blog during my hols and had already started 1 wk of sch. I had a truly packed hols and definitely felt like a nomad, always packing and unpacking my stuff as I sleep over at fren's place or travel around to sydney & the country side ;P

It's comforting to see everyone back in hostel - IH and all the physio pple after the break. There are some new faces in IH this sem with a rather good mix of nationalities. Back to the lifestyle in IH and the routine dining times again :) Currently, there's a mini-orientation for the freshers and CIA wk (Cultural International Awareness) - with parties, games & activities ongoing & the Bush Dance tonight!

Btw I'm watching "Full House" now!!! hahaz yea finally found it in the network. It's a light-hearted korean drama whereby the music from my blog is from. Didn't know what or where the music is from initially. I first found it on last fri night and somehow couldn't stop myself from watching. When dawn came back, she also started become "addicted". So on & on we watched, with mint choc biscuits to feed ourselves with all the way till 7am! arghz couldn't believe it myself & we woke up juz in time for lunch the nex day before they stop serving. I only manage to catch another 2 episodes ever since. hahaz shall continue.. no should be to finish it tonight!
hmm but first I'll have to do my reading for tmlo's prac on shoulder..which means will have to "strip" again for palpation ~
