2 March 2019 was D-Day for the Class of 2019; it was a paintball war between Team Trevor and Team Nicholas. The Senior Excom planned a paintball event for the senior class at the Penang War Museum. Early Saturday morning, with excitement and fear, the senior class met at Dalat to head towards the battlefield located just near Penang’s airport.
As soon as the class arrived, they split into two fair teams to start the battle. Team Trevor was known for confidence, but they only had one goal. Their main target was Nathan Chand (12). Team Trevor had eyes only towards Nathan before heading into the battlefield. On the other hand, Team Nicholas was looking for the win by touching the opponent’s base. Both teams were filled with confidence and hunger.
Both teams stepped into the arena that would soon be a paint shed. The marshals did a countdown before teams could rush towards their hiding spots. When “zero” was heard around the battlefield, both teams dashed near the barrels to take cover. Gunshots from all sides kept the intensity at a high level for both teams.
After fifteen minutes had gone by, Team Trevor made a huge push towards Team Nicholas’s base by getting rid of an enormous number of enemies. It was impossible for Team Nicholas’s men to push forward, so they were forced back into their base. Team Trevor could not have asked for a better chance. They made their final push and ended up defeating Team Nicholas.
Round 2 was no different to Round 1. It was still an intense game, but Team Trevor was too dominant for Team Nicholas to handle and move forward; obviously, Round 2 was no other but Team Trevor’s victory. While both teams were heading back to Dalat, Nathan Chand (12) and Alex Ruble (12) taunted Team Nicholas’s men by saying, “We were too good. It’s too easy out here.”
It might have been a competitive battle between the two teams, but it brought great bond for the class before graduating in three months.
