What we left behind..

It is done, 3rd World Cup Asia Paintball, known as Naza World Cup Asia 2013 is done. THis three years has takn a real toll on me, i can feel it in my bones. What should have been a 3 year plan has come and gone, and now we plan what comes next.

Yet in all of this, what is it that we actually achieve? In bringing up the sport of Paintball to greater heights, to approach sponsors, ether corporate or government, What was the end effect? Was the community happy? it pains me to see the community growing, a chance to watch the top teams in the world battling at WCA, to have a neutral ground to play in, to have a the most glamours if not elaborate event celebrations for the event. Yet voices of the disgruntal jelosy is heard, To run this RM3 million event (per year mind you) is never an easy task,  In three years of running WCA, i feels me with great joy to see the faces that makes this journey to Langkawi come November and honestly it is their kinds words, their smile that makes doing this all worthwhile. Yes, we as host lost money in WCA but the fact we were doing something for the sport and the cheers we got kept us going. For me, meeting old friends and making new ones are the reason i am in it. A sport like paintball is truly an amazing and spectator sport, We got the govrment and former prime minister in it, we even had the royal family playing it activley, YES it is all worthwhile so now we focus on the public, was this how badminton became a world wide house hold sport?

The three years of WCA, What is the treasure? For me it is the memories. For friends come and go, Love leaves us behind and famliy grow a part, the memory are the treasure that i treasure most. For the the days of walking to the hall and convincing PALS to taking on the WCA in a hall to the time that we were thinking of "borrwing" over 3 tans of sand. These are tresures, to the tim i met Kiran and the first time looking down from a poision ivy barrel, were timeless treasure, to the joy of seeing people you meet in MPOC and 1NPS coming together to enjoy the event, a true bliss, to the time i met her and we took our first picture with Oliver Lang..another treasure.

What am i babbling about? i also dont really know, just this week, i look behind me as prepare to jump for the future. I remember and i am thankful for the joys and sorrows of the last 3 years, as take then next WCA to new level, i pray for guidance and patinence to withstand what obsticles that is given, for his blessing for all my children and family.

So go out, take a minute to sit back and think, what were the sweetest moment of your life?

Hey, 'cause I believe in you
Oh, if I can see it, then I can do it
If I just believe it, there's nothing to it

Peace
The sight i will never foget

The reasons i am alive

Tea with the boss

Looks like a wrong class for paintballers

Smiles

A photo album..of what perhaps?

The lighter side of things

11 and counting

Hey folks,

Sitting at the airport and tapping this out on my note three.  Damn, technology is really great and will surely get better.  As we go down the path of the future, I'm sure of more things to come.  Sadly so things in life will never know progress, human nature.  Greed, selfishness and cruel. Though are words such as motivation, inspire and guide but yet a true nature of humans cannot be changed, some say that it's a character trait of a successful man, hell ya if ur comparing to Hitler, edi amin or stalin.. Successful? Yes..  But well u know what I mean.  Then there people like gandhi, mother Theresa, the prophet whom live life on motivating people and finding the good of us rather than the worse of us..  Are they not successful?

As the nwcap grows near, I'm at a crossroads here.  With my title sponsor and the work that needs to be completed in 11 days bearing down on me.  With the support of my family team of AKR and pals..  We will reach there I hope.

On another note, an old memory has come back..  To nowhere or to somewhere is uncertain, for all I can say is that if it is good grace and his will, I ain't the one to shy away from this adventure, no matter where it leads...

Happy Deepavali and Awal Muharam  folks.

Peace.
