Yesterday, I borrowed a Canon 1000D camera to photograph the Singapore Slingers vs the Smart Pampanga Buddies basketball match at the Singapore Indoor Stadium. It was my first time squatting at the baseline so I learned a few things.
1. The Referee Always Stands in Front of the Photographer
For instance, here is a photo of Eric Sandrin gloriously slamming the ball into the basket.
Dramatic slam dunk by Eric Sandrin
For this shot, I employed the technique of stretching my entire body and neck to the left, something that was learned from watching reruns of Lion King.

I love Cheezels! They are my favorite snack food and you can only get the chunky and cheesy ones in Australia.
At the second Singapore Slingers vs Philipines’ Air 21 basketball game, Kim Chi and Krisandro distracted me with a pack of Cheezels.
I was admiring the Cheezel between my fingers before popping it into my mouth when out of the corner of my eye, I saw that Eric Sandrin had caught the ball.
He jumped straight up to chuck the ball into the hole when all of a sudden, his body swooped sideways. His body fell and thunked against the floor!
As usual, the remote-controlled Harvey Norman balloon was out-of-control.
But the new players for the Singapore Slingers are very much in control of their game. Doctor Darren netted the most balls, scoring a total of 28 points.
Eric Sandrin stole the show though. Eric didn’t seem to get along with #16 from the Air 21 team from the start of the game.
Are you sweating yet? I guarantee you will as soon as you get to know these two new bloggers.

The passionate Alex Lam is passionate about many things in life. A month ago, LX started to vlog about one of his many passions - technology. As the CEO of Integricity Corporation which owns Integricity Interactive, Integricity Technology, Integricity Press and Integricity Visuals, LX sure knows what he is vlogging about.
Only a Mike Helms could have done what he did. At yesterday’s Slingers game against the Brisbane Bullets, he showed us why he is our darling again.
The opponents know him, they have marked him down. At every game that I’ve watched, Mike is always literally barricaded by humans. This makes it painfully frustrating for him to play.
Yet, again and again, we have seen Mike rise against the odds. He’d duck them in the most unexpected ways, grab the ball, rush it in to the end of the court like a police car chase, and score.
