Mr. Joo’s chem class boys had an outing. It is undeniably one of my best experiences. About 20 people went. We rented a bus to take us to Ichon, an hour away by drive. When we got there it was totally exciting. The paint ball guns were lined up, and the “battlefield” seem quite adventurous.

After a brief explanation from the owner of the paint ball place, we started our “war.” It was Mr. Joo’s A block chem against the rest including Mr. Salaazer, who is an elementary school teacher. We shot the heck out each other in four matches. Our team lost three of the matches, and won one.

We got owned especially in the second match. Our team got totally ambushed! Our team was rushing up a hill and the opponent team was hiding behind the hill, and soon I found a barrage of paint balls shooting toward my body. I probably had like 30 shots on me, and it hurt! If you really want to know the feeling of a paint ball shot, let me describe it to you like this: it’s like getting hit by a small hard baseball. Because of the ambush, I got a lot of bruises on my body. Getting shot wasn’t a good experience but shooting and killing the opponent was the best part of the game. On our last match, we had the owner playing on our side because we had lost three consecutive matches. The owner was really good. I thought I was seeing a James Bond movie. He literally slid down the hill, and took out two guys while sliding.

Although we got owned in three games, it was still fun because of some of the funny things that happened. First of all, Ed asked Mr. Joo “What’s our chem homework?” And Mr Joo with a funny facial expression, “Ed! We’re at war! Why are you talkin’ about homework?!” Another funny thing that happened was Brian shot himself! If you are far away, and you get shot by the paint ball, it still hurts, but Brian shot himself in the hand from about 5cm in distance. “I thought there was no bullet inside. I just wanted to feel how much air this gun can shoot out.” he claimed, while everyone was laughing their brains at his clumsiness.

Going on this paint ball trip was really fun. I hope I can go again with my friends and shoot the heck out of them!
