Just came back from a whole week of travelling (more than 50 hours in the air). Gonna take a slight breather before doing another 60-70 hours over the next few weeks. The thing is, I managed to rush back in time for the Singapore Slingers’ match against Pure Foods Tendy Juicy Giants (you read it right) on Tuesday night!

In case you dunno who’s Darren Ng, he’s a local basketball heart throb just recruited by the Singapore Slingers.

For a chinese, he’s really good in the game and even won the coveted Woollacott Medal award as the leading player in the 2006 ABA Central Conference. When he was in China for a few matches, the online forums went crazy wanting to recruit him for China! haha.. and did you know he’s a qualified medical doctor too?

Well that day I beat Darren Ng in basketball!
