Post no. 718

Dear all..

I told alot of lies today.

I told them so that i could sit in the stands and watch a S league Match.
Yesyes. S league. After 10 years in Singapore, i finally got around watching one of them LIVE.

But i dont like to watch S league. I was there because i wanted to prove that i can do better than some guy with expensive camera gears.

The S league experience started decent enough... this was because i was given free tickets. HAhahah...

But it turn 'bad' quickly because some security guard decided that i cannot sit in the stand because i was using a big black camera.
After failing to convince me to keep my camera, he brought along an official from FAS..

Security Guard (SG) / FAS OFFICIAL (FO) : Sir, you cannot take photo in the stadium.
Man with BIG BLACK CAMERA (MBBC) : WHY?

SG / FO : Because your camera is a professional camera.
MBBC : Im using it because im rich and i can afford it (Lie no. 1 : Obviously not true. Im using the MBBC because i love to show off)

SG / FO : Nono, for these matches.. you cannot use these cameras as you can see everything with your camera.
MBBC : Without the camera...i can also see (Lie no. 2 : I cant see without my glasses)

SG / FO : Sir, its the same everywhere. Football matches cannot allow the use of professional cameras.
MBBC : Cant be. I shot the Champions league in europe before and i never had these trouble. ( Truth : I did shoot the last champions league match... except that i was watching on my TV and i wanted to see if i can freeze the frame with my BIG BLACK CAMERA)

SG / FO : Sir, if you insist on using your camera, you would have to come with me to get an official vest and pass. You can only shoot from the sideline.
MBBC : Why cant you let me be a fan and allow me to sit in the stands?? ( Lie no. 3 : Im not a S league Fan. )

After failing to convince me with all sorts of excuses to keep my camera, SG and FO decided to let me be and made me promise that i will email them to follow up on the Official pass issue tomorrow.
I agreed. And of course...i lied again. i aint going to do it. HAhahahah...

And with regard to the pics...

Look on the bright side, they might issue you with a press pass and free entry for life.... haha
 
The thing is...

S league is so poorly supported that they are giving away free tickets.

I walked up to this guy in a S league polo T and asked for a place to buy tickets...

He said ' You alone? I give you tickets. ' Hahahaha...

I rest my case.

Regards
