The last Singapore Slingers game for the Singapore Challenge Series was supposed to be last Sunday, but due to a no-show from Sathyabama Stars, the management behind the Slingers has organized a replacement match this coming Sunday! And they did more than make up by inviting the most popular pro-team in the Philippines, Barangay Ginebra!!!

Almost every Filipino team that has graced the indoor stadium for the Singapore Challenge Series has ensured near sell-out crowds and great atmostphere from the basketball loving Pinoys and the game this Saturday evening will be no exception!

Venue: Singapore Indoor Stadium
Date: 17th Jan
Time: 7.30pm
Duration: Approx. 2 hrs

So do not miss the last opportunity to catch the Slingers in action this season. Grab the tickets from Sistic while it lasts!

For those who are too busy to watch the awesome Singapore Slingers games in the Singapore Challenge Series at the Indoor Stadium, I’ve got great news for you!

No more drooling at the stills above from Jason and his flickr site! (But you should always still check out his pics after the game. )

Watch the game live tonight at 7.40pm right here!!!

The last time a team won the Singapore Slingers in the series was when they faced off Sydney Spirits, so I expect a thriller for the game tonight against the Darwin All-Stars! Don’t miss it for the world!

7.40pm TONIGHT! (16th December 2008).

Don’t you forget!

The Singapore Slingers have a month before their next game on the 5th November against the Malaysian All-Stars and were all given a one week break. Nicholas took the chance to organize an outing with a few of the stars on the team and boy were we lucky! My favourite player, Eric Sandrin and the teams tallest player at 2.21m, Sam Harris, were free to accompany the bloggers for a night out in town!

The people in attendance apart from the basketballers were Mo, Nicholas, Hillary, Daphne, Molemole, Jason, KuKuNehNeh and if you haven’t realised by now….. myself as well.

Eric is a huge man himself who stands at 2.05m in height and already attract stares from the crowd with his presence. But when Sam arrived, he became an instant celebrity and if I get a dollar for every stare, jaw drop and photo request from strangers, I would have made quite a tidy sum from that day alone.

We decided to dine at Newton Food Centre and let them try out delicious stuff like Satay, BBQ Stingray, Kang Kong and delicious dessert like Cheng Teng, Chendol and Ice Kachang. We then drove to City Hall and took a long walk in the heat to the Esplanade and the Merlion and to Raffles MRT where they took a train back to where we started just for fun.

Chopsticks that look like toothpicks in Sam Harris’ hands

Satay will be a million dollar business if he sells them!

This is how pathetic it is when a 1.77m tall Singaporean faces off with them

If you look closely, Sam cast a shadow ON THE CEILING!

MRT cabins were not built for people of their size

It was great fun hanging out with the basketball stars that day and they were extremely funny and friendly! I have to warn you people on the dangers of neck aches when talking to Sam Harris for extended periods. Wahahahaah!

Catch them in action on the 5th of November at the Indoor Stadium!
