Malaysia International Basketball Championship

It has become my routine to blog during working time (weekend job not the weekday one) but it seems that I can’t do that with the unstable wireless connection I experience here in Sri Petaling, a place that I enjoy the least to work at. I’ve been here for two weeks with yesterday an escape to work in Kevin’s show at MABA Stadium. Brought my laptop there but didn’t manage to even take it out because the game is too exciting! It’s the Malaysia International Basketball Championship where six nation teams (not all national team) compete to win the title. I was there to replace Kevin for one day. Basketball has always been my favorite sports even though I didn’t play nowadays. But by watching the game alone gives me tremendous enjoyment.

It is the fourth day of the championship and Malaysia PETRONAS team has won 2 games and lost 1. A surprise wins over the “unbeatable” Singapore Slingers light up Malaysia hope for the title challenge. We defeated Pure-Youth Construction team from Chinese Taipei and lost to India National Team before winning Singapore Slingers with the superb tight score of 93 – 92. It is too bad that I have missed the Malaysian team action on the 3rd day because my teeth is killing me after being “filled” by the dentist on Friday afternoon. I heard the crowd was amazing on the 3rd day evening with many of them cheering for Malaysia PETRONAS.

The fourth day of the championship, the day I worked there. Malaysia PETRONAS defeated Hong Kong China National Team (I heard there are only 3 first squad player are in the team). It wasn’t really a good match because I personally think that Malaysia didn’t play well and they nearly got themselves pay for the price during the last quarter of the game. I am not sure if it is because of our players’ mind-set because Hong Kong China is the only team that has not strike any win so far. Never look down to your enemy. I thought we have learnt the lesson when India strike back and win over Malaysia team during the previous game. But apparently I am wrong.

Overall it’s been a wonderful day working in Stadium MABA. Getting pay and get to watch my favorite sports game at the same time really thrilled me. But as for now, I am still in Endah Parade aiming at the clock. By the way, the wireless here is unstable so I am not sure when will this post be up on my blog but up to present, it’s 7:43pm, Sunday 7th September 2008 while I finish blogging this post. Tomorrow is gonna be another working day! Cheer up~ (that’s for myself)
