Well yesterday was a long and tiring day. I had work from 9-5pm. And it was flat out! It was so busy that it didn't even feel like I had worked for 8 hours. It was crazy. But the good thing was, I was determined to make $10,000 in sales yesterday and we did! Woohoo! We made more coz we didn't close until 7pm but I left at 5pm. So I'm anxious to know what their official total was for yesterday.

The bad thing was that my feet were killing me! :( Darn those shoes! lolz.

So straight after I got home from work, I rested my feet a little before getting ready to go to Cam's 21st dinner. Cam and Sara picked me up around 6:30ish coz they also had to go get the cake and party hats(?!). Because I was so tired from work and plus I wasn't feeling too well, I wasn't in the mood to play Darkzone that night. Though I had made a deal with Cam on Thursday when I got him and Sara to come shopping with me. The deal was that if they came shopping, I had to play Darkzone. Ok, so fair enough, I agreed. But I didn't realise how tired I would be after work so I tried to get out of it by wearing highheels. hehe. Coz they had said that if we were gonna be playing darkzone that we should wear flat shoes. But I also wanted to wear high heels coz of the pants I was wearing. Anyways, my plan failed as Cam refused to start the car until I had changed my shoes. haha. So yes, seeing as he was driving us, I had no other choice but to change. But I'm glad I did. Coz I had so much fun. But I wouldn't want to do it again. I didn't have THAT much fun! hehe. It was so tiring! Especially coz my feet were already sore from work.

So anyways, I didn't really know what to expect. I had only ever heard of Darkzone and only knew was that you wore these packs and had a laser gun to shoot others with. Oh and that it was also in the dark. So I was kinda scared. I don't take things well in the dark. haha. And people running around shooting me was not exactly a calm free environment. But I was kinda excited at the same time coz I was always curious as to what it was all about. So there were about 18 of us playing plus a few other outside people who joined in our game. They were such pros at it. AND they were on the gurls team! haha. There were three teams. Yellow, Blue and Red. And yes, of course, I chose blue. haha. So before we went in and got our packs, we were debriefed on how the game worked. He asked everyone who had played it before and it was so funny coz most of the guys who were there put their hand up and all the girls had they're hands down. haha. Great, I thought. We were surely gonna lose. hehe.

The packs were quite heavy. It was like I had put on one of those weight jackets you wear when you wanna lost weight. haha. So anyways, the siren went off to start the game and off we went into the dark dark arena where team mates, enemies and hiding places awaited. The first few minutes I didn't really know what I was doing. There were so many walls, ramps and platforms to run in, out, up and down. I just hoped that I didn't get lost! The I had to try and figure out how to use my gun. I didn't realise that there was actually a red laser that you could see when you shoot at the other team. I just thought you had to point and shoot using your eye. And coz my aiming isn't that good, I wasn't doing too well. But then I tried shooting at a wall and suddenly saw a red dot! haha. Ohhhh... so that's how people were aiming so well at me. hehe. Everytime I shot, there would be this gun noise. I didn't realise until a little while after that it was the noise of my gun. I thought it was me getting shot. haha. So everytime I had that noise, I waited for 10 secs because that's how long your gun was immobilised for when you got shot by another team. So thinking that I couldn't shoot anyone, everyone else got a free shot at me! :( lolz.

So this game went on for an hour. And it was definitely a good workout. Running around chasing or running away from people was tiring. I was sweating so much! And so were a lot of other people apparently. 50mins had gone past (though it didn't feel like that much) and Chi and I needed a drink. I was seriously dehydrated. My mouth was so dry and I felt dizzy. So we went out to get a drink and just talked for the last 10mins of the game. We checked the score on the screen outside and blue was winning anyways. So that was alrite. hehe. Those other guys who were pros could cover us. I don't think we were adding much to our score anyways.

So the siren went off again to finish the game and slowly everyone came out. Blue had one, thanks to the pros, then Red, then Yellow. haha. Yellow was the guys team with Cam, Nick, Carlo etc. hehe. Poor Cam. hehe. So anyways, I don't know whether it was the packs or just us, but while we were all standing outside in the foyer checking out scores, it stank! haha. Like really badly. I think it was a mixture of everyone's sweat from themselves and the packs. haha. So we all quikcly ran outside to get some fresh air. haha. By the time we finished, it was already midnite. And I was definitely ready to go home. Cam kindly sent me home.

Thanks Cam! Hope you enjoyed yourself last nite.

Overall it was a really good nite. Like I said, I'm glad I went to darkzone. It was fun. The only downside to it was that after I was even more tired, had a headache and my feet were so so sore!! They still are! Luckily I didn't have to work today! :P

And can you believe it... I was so tired that I didn't even take any photos!! *shock* *horror* hahaha. But its ok, Sara took my place. Will get some photos off her soon.

my thoughts @ 6:46 PM
