Foam Dart On Lazarus Island (And Hornet Encounter!)

Posted on by Edmund

I slept most of the last 2 days after I got back from a game of foam darts on Lazarus Island, Singapore. The game was more than a month in the making, and even at relatively pricey SGD75 (for a Malaysian), I wanted to come for the experience – or at least, say that I’ve been here before.

With 83 people in attendance, I was the only one from Malaysia. But if you think I was the only one that made the effort to come here, there was also Patra that came all the way from Indonesia, who was also in my team in Silent Knight II.

Mid-way through the game, I got stung by hornets ??? While my condition isn’t serious, another player had to be taken back to mainland. I am fortunate in comparison. I rested for half an hour, and returned for the third and final round. And yes, our team won! We discovered and carried the treasure chest back to base under covering fire. After that, I legged back to Johor.

As I’m writing this, I’m still resting and hopefully, nothing major manifests.

Here are some photos from the event:

One of the Organizers have put together a feature-length video from the event – watch it here:

Foam Dart Ops Castanho

Robert HBK and I joined a 40+ pax mini MILSIM at Batu Pahat.

We brought our only blasters to the game, the BK1/2S. While good for short range, it is outclassed by Springers at longer range. Still, we did good for its intended use.

The 2 highlights for me were

(1) the garrison of a small house in Round 2, that rekt a small team of incoming attackers by surprise

(2) the scenic route that Joe, Robert and I took to go around and flank the enemy’s base from behind

We held our ground in the first 2 rounds, though by the 3rd, half the team ran out of steam due to the hot weather.

Still fun in all!

MidValley Charity Run 5KM

Joined the 5KM Midvalley Southkey Charity Run, that I signed up for a few months ago.

And wow, the goodie bag and gift redemption is exceedingly generous! Is that why it’s called a “charity” run? If only there’s this incentive every day or week. Run 5KM and you get to claim all these!

P.S. And what a day it was, because when I got home, the electricity was out in the entire neighborhood for the rest of the day! There was a scheduled maintenance, and electricity came back only around 8PM.
