Newest hobby, Darts!

I have totally forgotten I own a blog. It's a very good indication of how well received my blog is when I have only 1 request to write new posts again.

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...)

i think i should have aimed at the board instead

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.

which didn't work

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!

Getting old sucks. The end.

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

Blog is back! Dating life with all our nakedness revealed!

Good mid-week to all!

Such a holy sight

Thousand apologies for the long pause. Too busy dating, and not sure how it worked since it took me almost a decade for me to get a gf. Worth the wait, btw.

It has been a fun quarter since my last post, which I believe was after our BKK trip in September. Of course, it has been nothing short of wonderful, except for the times i tried to be an idiot. But let's gloss over that. Stop asking. Nothing to see here, moving on...

The past few months have been fun, I have many new colleagues, new tasks to handle, and also balancing it with a new personal life. Shiok. But enough about work, now it's all about fun places. 

And the absolute first place i'll promote is The Brightside @ Duxton Hill located at, well, Duxton Hill. They also have a Facebook page for you to follow their latest updates, especially during this year end festive period. Hey, the staff need to take a break too! Do look for Jamie and Jasmine when you're here, they are quite literally the best hosts ever.

Beautiful people on beautiful chairs

Just had to take this with the coolest pub owners

And check out their food, I have become addicted to their Fried Chicken Skins, Beef Noodle Soup, Thai Street Chicken and Steamed Pork Buns (Kong Ba Pao). Slurps. Making me lao nua (drool) now. Damn it, i'm getting fat.

To spice up your night out, this place also comes equipped with board games, like Jenga... (stupid game)

Guess who won

ConnectFour... (another stupid game in my opinion)

They even have a mini foosball table so you can vent out your work day frustrations by kicking your opponent's ass! Unless it's your gf, then maybe going all out to win might not end up to be a happy night out. #justsaying

Heck, you can even have a kickabout in the pub itself. Just take note that Jamie might join right in!

Jamie looks very approving

So I'm still getting my creative juices back, unless you're a real estate agent cos i am finding ways to get you to sign up for our account and Featured Agent, thus this blog will be a little shorter. Oh ya, the nakedness in the title is more about our emotions when losing at games. Heh.

I promise to do this once a month, which means I'll find more food places to try out and give an honest review. Good is good, shit means shit. Jeng jeng jeng.
