Will it be intimidating?
Will I be discovered for the noob blogger that I am?
Will the conversation be peppered with dizzying keywords such as RSS, Page Rank, Monetize, Advertlets and Nuffnang?

In the end, I didn’t have time to worry because I was running late! By the time we got to the Singapore Indoor Stadium to cheer for Slingers at the National Baskerball League, Andy and Qiao Yun had been waiting at the Club Desk for a while. We quickly figured out the ticketing stuff and split to get to our seats.

Due to the *overwhelming response* to my blog contest, we took up two VIP boxes instead of one so Andy and I headed east while Nic and Qiao Yun headed west. When we got to our seats, we discovered the famous East Coast Life and her husband, Christopher. Xian Feng had also arrived but we only saw him later as he was in the “powder room” at the time.

The next thing I noted was the trays of food and drinks, yippee! We were lavished with three trays of food, two bottles of wine, lots of chilled Tiger Beer, and other canned drinks. For the first half of the game, I had to make the difficult decision between cheering for Slingers or munching on the food. Can you guess what I chose in the end?

Our corporate box was labelled “Air Asia” which thrilled me to the bones. I heard rumors that Air Asia CEO Tony Fernandez will be here today and since we were at his box, I wondered if he might casually saunter in and sit next to us. Nothing like that happened.

Instead, Adam Zhang, Daphne Maia and Arzhou joined our box. We are now in full-force to cheer and I didn’t dare reveal how imbalanced I was expecting the game to be. (more…)
