Sony Ericsson Launch Part 1: Cheerleaders and Basketball Hunks

So yes, most of you guessed correctly.

It is the durian building aka Esplanade building in Singapore.

Taken from my hotel room. What do you think? Impressive shot? (despite the distance)

I also took some photos of Singapore skyline from my balcony.

I managed to zoom in on Merlion too, squirting water from its mouth.

Anyway, this time I stayed in Swissotel Singapore.

Not as nice as St Regis hotel but it's comfy enough.

And this is me with my 500D in the toilet.

Do I look more pro with a SLR camera? (bleh, I doubt so)

One more shot in the corridor.

Before the event, we first had lunch in the most expensive high class Kopitiam (coffee shop) I have ever dined in.

It's here that I tried a new drink called Milo Godzilla priced at SG$8.50.

Milo Godzilla was obviously an evolution from Milo Dinosaur. Most mamak in Singapore would have the latter. Though this was the first time I heard of the Godzilla version.

Having filled our tummy, we went on the bus which brought us to see some cheerleaders.

I call this one a Milf.

She did have great abs.

Even the sweet young things couldn't compete muscles with her.

Here're some cheerleadings for your eye candy.

My media tag was a shade of sweet pink I liked.

Kim was there with me too with her skinny body and she claimed she have gained weight. -.-

And there's sweet Cheryl standing at the back of me.

Right. Now for some photos for the ladies.

Observe guys handling their balls.

Going for a slamdunk.


This one was doing a rocket dunk.

And he shoots!

Man I love my camera. It could capture an object even in fast movements.

Let's see a somersault backflip dunk, shall we?

And again.

Phew. These guys sure know how to play with their balls.


What about some game for the nerds?

They call it Powerskip.

It allowed you to jump like a kangaroo.

powerskip basic jump


This particular nerdy kid was quite the expert in this sport. He did a jumping jack as easy as cracking a peanut.

did I say I love my camera?


He also did a flip that made him look like he was floating upside down on air.

The other guy joined in.

Finally, a duo performance.

powerskip double back flip


I actually winced when I saw him performed this act.

It's so dangerous!

Brrr... Every instance I was imagining him hitting the ground with a million shattered pieces of bones.

Ever see guys do some girly sports.

Rope skipping!

by macho men!

rope perfomers


They're actually quite manly. Combining hip hop style with duo two rope skipping.

double hand stand


It's not as fancy as basketball shooting or cheerleading, so it did need a lot of effort to attract the audience.

double back flip


rope hip skipping


I have to say, Sony Ericsson did put a lot of effort in impressing the media. The preliminary show was magnificient.


Now, time for the conference.
