PaintBallAsia.com has
everything you need to know about a new game in Singapore in which two
groups shoot at each other with guns firing paintballs (small spheres
containing water-soluble dye). Great fun. You can play this game at Orchid
Country Club. It is open to the public. Charges are S$15 each for members
of the public and S$10 for club members. Paintballs cost between S$10 and
S$400 for between 20 and 2500 paintballs.

The
National Parks Board allows families to pitch tents for overnight
camping at five of its coastal parks - the ones at Changi beach,
East Coast, Pasir Ris, Sembawang and West Coast. Last year,
10,305 camping permits were issued, compared to 7,589 in 2000 and
6,442 in 1999. It was only five years ago that NParks relaxed its
rules about overnight camping and made it legal. Each camping permit
is good for up to three nights, the most popular days being weekends
and school holidays. (Straits

From Monday 18 Dec
2000,
fishing enthusiasts can fish at three more reservoirs - MacRitchie,
Peirce and Upper Seletar. Now they can do so only at Kranji and Lower
Seletar reservoirs, as well as Jurong Lake. Each new fishing area will
be marked by a signboard. At MacRitchie reservoir, the fishing spot is
accessible from the footpath near the Lornie-Thomson road junction
bus-stop. At Upper Seletar, the area is by the carpark along Mandai
Road. Anglers going to Lower Peirce should approach along Old Upper
Thomson Road. A footpath at the end of the road leads to the fishing
ground. (Straits Times 15 Dec 2000)
