Firstly, I would like to express my gratitude to Precious and Nicholas for inviting me to the indoor stadium for the National Basketball League game with our home team, Singapore Slingers against the Melbourne Tigers last night.

Upon reaching the stadium, I could see the field that was refurbished into a basketball court like those in NBA and the Slingers were already doing some warmups.

Thanks to the sponsors. we bloggers, were entitled to seats in the $25000 worth corporate box which makes it possible for us to watch the intense action up upclose. Heh.

Slinger Girls
in action.

This is a lifetime experience to enjoy such privileges. It was very enjoyable despite the fact that I wasn’t eying specifically for players to give my support.

It was kinda chaotic, sometimes I wish my eyes were as though lens of SLR cameras to catch up with these high-speed movements.



The girls were back with a different clothing to cheer for the Slingers!.

Speaking of the team, the Tigers took the lead throughout, that leaves the Slinger struggling even till the last minute. The last four minutes were crucial and it seemed like the Slingers were gradually narrowing the gap of the score! I bet most of the people had their hearts froze at the end of their throat like I did.

Unfortunately, the Slingers didn’t succeed. The resulting score was 96 to 105. That proves Slingers were at the verge of winning!

Oh btw does he, Shane McDonald resembles Zac Efron in High School Musical 2?

We were allowed to take photographs/autographs with the stars and majority of the audience buzzed towards them like bees.

A very good example
.

I was no exception as well. :)
With Knight. This is what I call MHD! (Major Height Difference)

and Grizzard. :sweat: (Damn he look pissed)

Random photos!
Precious and me.

These gloves resembled the cash glove in Maple Story.. (Thanks to Precious for taking this photo!)

Bond… You can call me James.

Group photos at the end of the day!
Bloggers and co-owner Singapore Slingers, Bob Turner.

That’s Qiao Yun on my right, and Daphne right in front of me. Andy is on Grizzar’s left. Precious is standing near Andy. I can’t remember that guy’s name beside Andy. Arzhou is beside Andy. At the very end, lies Nicholas with the well-renowned Sabrina in front of him.

These are the bloggers who were involved too!

Thanks to Adam and The Media Slut for all the exclusive shots!

More info on the Slingers can be found at their home site.

Apparently, most people were reluctant to join the after-party at Brewerkz with the Slingers. Some left and we proceeded to the nearby Macdonalds for a little blogging session.

During the talk, I got to the other bloggers better, especially Sabrina, whom utilizes the knowledge of seo well, not to mention her successful online career with her implementations of design concepts.

Enlightenment concluding shortly after as everyone has their own curfew. Lucky me, I was able to catch the last train if it weren’t for Nicholas’s driving.

P.S update me if I left out anyone and if I have named someone wrongly.

EDITED Included Mr Fong, Arzhou and EastCoastLife.
