We did it! - Results from ICSS VS ICUMS Paintball Here's a message from our President, Joshua: * "Nothing in life is so exhilarating as to be shot at without result." - Winston Churchill* On the 26th of November 2011, history was made. On that fateful day, *20 brave warriors* from our country secured a resounding victory over our rivals, the Malaysians, in a fierce battle spanning the entire day. Thanks to the following brave men (and woman!) - Marc, Bennett, Gerald, Shenghong, Xing Kai, Arnold, Ashley, Yixiang, Yong Qian, Bomb (Very Fast) Runner Teck Jan, "Mad Dash" Justin, Yikai the Just-Taking-A-Walk-Into-The-Enem**y-Base, Bao Chen, Jason, "Bunny Hop" Jin Yi, General Yan Bo, Yuxiang, Joshua, and of course, Eileen, the lady who proved you don't need army training just to give the Malaysians a good run for their ringgit - our country's honour has been restored and history has been made. <http://e.groupspaces.com/click/1nkmg-1ez6m-26lzsld1ds?u=http%3A%2F%2Ffiles.groupspaces.com%2Ficss%2Ffiles%2F242891%2Fr6IoLoLYgT6MnJjUosVR%2FPaintball.JPG%3Fview%26utm_medium%3Demail%26utm_source%3Dgroup%26utm_term%3Dgroup-1361> * **This is one of the weapons we used against the Malaysians... just kidding ;)* To those who answered the call of duty, thank you. It is thanks to *you*, your battle scars, your tireless running, your endless shouting, your fervent cheering, your meticulous strategising, your precision shooting, your cooperation, your unity, your Singapore spirit, that today's victory was made possible.The memories of Justin making a fantastic run to the base past stunned defenders, Yikai taking a leisurely stroll into the enemy base without being fired at, Teck Jan becoming one of the world's fastest bombers and Yanbo commanding all our forces with verve and vigour will always be etched in my mind. In our VP Eileen's words, the whole experience of shooting someone was immensely therapeutic. And in Churchill's words, it's even better when you get shot at without getting shot. Given how proficient our detachment of twenty Special Forces troopers was in shooting the other team without getting shot, I believe all twenty of us could testify to having experienced both sensations described. So, to the most rugged, most hardcore and most determined of our nation's fighters, *We did it.* To those who missed out on the action, don't fret! ICSS is still in the running to be the Champion of the inaugral Who boleh? series, and it all comes down to our last TIE-BREAKER event, our *Food Festival*. If we claim that food is our national past-time, this is our chance to prove it. Get your thinking caps on (and your aprons), start thinking about the best dishes that you can prepare, and voila! We're in business to take on MSoc one last time, to fight for our nation's glory and claim what should be ours. Spread the word, and let's make this last one count. Majulah, Singapura Love, Joshua PS I felt that this video accurately conveyed the sentiments of all on the battlefield that day (despite the promotional advertisement at the end of the clip). If you want to know what it was really like, ask any of the twenty heroes listed above. http ://www . youtube . com/watch?v=P**blj3JHF-Jo<http://e.groupspaces.com/click/1nkmg-1ez6m-26lzsld1ds?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DPblj3JHF-Jo> There's a soldier in all of us ;) ------------------------------ 2.
