Snippets: MASSOC & BruSheff Paintball 2

Khairi Isnon Ismail is currently a first year undergraduate doing BSc Biomedical Science at the University of Sheffield. This is his account of MASSOC & BruSheff Paintball: We were all geared up for the day and we were introduced to the safety procedures near the staging area. Guess who we were introduced to. That's right. THE TERMINATOR!!! Unfortunately, he didn't show up to any of our games. Moving on~ Red Candy vs Blue Candy First Map: The Graveyard Objective: Capture the flag from the enemy's side and bring it back to team's flag in 10 minutes. First Round: Blue Candy eliminated Red Candy. With the land safe but completely muddy, I ran to get the flag and returned it to base. 10 points were awarded to Blue Candy!

Nazrin Narawi is currently a first year undergraduate doing BEng Systems & Control Engineering at the University of Sheffield.

This is her account of Fright Night: Needless to state the obvious, but I'm going to say it anyway, last sunday was halloween. The biggest halloween party was held in, none other than, Sheffield's city centre. The city was full of people wearing interesting different costumes, ranging from vampires and devils, to tarzans to, to BSP's overalls lookalike, to even bananas. I still don't get how a banana can be a halloween costume though, but hey, what do I know, maybe there's a story behind it. Ok, back to fright night, there were 2 rides that look scary, the pendulum and I can't remember the name of the other one, the rest of the rides were for children. There were 2 spooky houses, and sadly for us, those were for kids as well. Malu jua kami kan masuk kalau for kids saja. Karang kana ucap inda sadar diri . Apart from the rides, there we
