The second part of the day we were going to play a game against Dave's old players at NUS. After getting off the MRT old alumni picked us up at a bus stop to take us to the university. I had the privilege of riding with a couple named Alan and Rachel in a nice Benz. They were super nice and we had a great conversation on the way there.
The court that we played at the university was only 3 months old! Brand new pretty much. As we were warming up it was cool to see Dave interact with his old players. I could see that they all really respected him. After warming up for over an hour, since we were waiting on the refs, we started playing.
To the day NUS alumni is the hardest competition we have had. We got better as the game went along but they beat us pretty good. We were to the understanding that it was 20 minute halfs running clock. Turned out to be 15 minute quarters running clock which was so tiring. But we made it through.
At the end of the game, Bobbie on our team got to share his testimony. The alumni were engaged and it was encouraging to hear his story. After the testimony we all showered and 6 ex players took us out to dinner. This by far has been the highlight, probably until tomorrow.
I rode with two gentlemen named Wongsong and Alan. Great guys! The other players were Ray, Francis, Eldrich, and Chen. They treated us to a Chinese feast or buffet. It was some of the best Chinese food I have ever had! There are some weird things in the Chinese culture. Like any culture I guess. One of the dishes had a century egg in it. I recommend you google it and get back to me, sadly it wasn't bad. They treated us to an avocado shake which was great minus the fact i get acid reflex. We will be seeing them again Thursday for another dinner outing.
Today was defiantly a highlight, tomorrow we go to a secondary school then to the prison. The prison experience is something that I know God will bless, but the human in me can't help but be worried. It will be hard to top today but I know tomorrow will possibly do it. Until next time, God bless.
