Probably also because I recently picked up a new hobby. Want to take a wild guess as to what it is?
Yes, I know it's in the title, but I could be misleading you like other titles!
Ok I didn't. Cos I wrote the title and this text on different days. So... yeah. Darts.
Now, this is actually a pretty fun game when you're on form, and horribly annoying when you finally hit the bullseye, but of the next machine.
But there's seriously a lot of technique involved, and you also have to be aware of the posture and the locking of the elbow and wrists for maximum consistency. We called that zero-ing in army. (range... eee.. scary...)

We have found this pretty challenging, but also fascinating cos even after asking around, everyone tells you it's up to how comfortable you are holding the darts.
They commonly say: "Different players have different grips, you need to find your own."
Or to paraphrase, "I'm a selfish prick.”
Of course we dun play darts for hours on end, good to take a breather once a while to rest and play better. So we do tend to goof around a little bit...
And then feel shy about goofing around cos we bumped into familiar faces. So we tried to be discreet.

That is my ex-student btw. Currently in army. I taught him when he was in Primary School. Getting old sucks. Sucked more that he whipped my ass in darts too. I dun find him cute anymore.
Oh ya, did I mention getting old sucks? Just the slightest bit of darts got my whole body aching, even with the regular jogging and table tennis sessions to loosen our muscles.
It felt great, the wind in your hair when you run, the execution of a perfect smash with the ball teed up, healthy living for the win!
And to show you the glorious outcomes of our healthy lifestyle!

Fun fact: Playing darts is an art, and so is being right handed but spraining your left wrist.
