So umm..where should I start? Well I started strong at the beginning, and wilted badly, like VERY bad at the end.

First game of doubles 501, I can’t believe DL teamed me up with RD, who he thinks is better than me. FINE. I am going to show him I can do this. Trust me, the fire from Sunday is still burning VERY STRONG inside my heart, and I think that’s what fueled me during this game. So first match, I was throwing quite well (a number of 60s), but RD wasn’t. So of course, a lost. We didn’t really lose that badly…maybe by 200 pts? But during the second match, me and RD are both on. The thing I clearly remember is with the score at 96 and the opponent at around ~150, RD threw a 78 which left a PERFECT NUMBER for me to end on: OH YES LOVELY 18. I was so glad that the opponent couldn’t check during their turn, so I have 3 FUCKING DARTS to get this 18. I thought to myself: “THERE IS JUST NO FUCKING WAY I AM GOING TO MISS THAT”. Yes I capped and bolded it because if you can remember, I threw 3 double 9′s last week, 1 on a first dart and 2 of them are game winners. First dart, botherline outboard. I am close, so no complaints. Second dart, VERY far outboard…reached the wall protective material outside the dartboard. WTF?! Adjustments needed, I thought. Third dart. BAM! DOUBLE 9!!!!!!!!!! CHECK! You can’t imagine how happy I was. I know it’s only one match, but I would never imagine that I will be able to take a match from them. But here’s the bad part: it seems I used up everything in order to get that double 9, and the next game I threw bad. Like WTFOMGBBQ GO DIE BAD. But RD still threw well…and this time we lost by ~180. To be honest, the other team didn’t really throw that well, and I seriously believe that me and RD can beat them. RD was sorta down during the first match because he played bad, but I make sure that I won’t tolerate that kind of shit when he’s in my team. Seems like it works. But imo, this game is something that I can def. build on.

Next up, doubles cricket. Nothing really to say here, except I threw way way better than my teammate, who was suppose to be way better than me. He def. got a HUGE off night…and he teamed up with me. I only threw two free rounds in both matches, and both of them are because I have to aim for bulls. Him? At least 5 *facepalm* I don’t think I will be good at cricket until I can get bulls at a good rate.

Last game of the night, singles 501. Well needless to say, I didn’t play well. I already have a hard time getting 20 during this game, so don’t even talk about 60. Probably used them up during the doubles 501 game. In fact, i had three of them land at triple 1 instead of triple 20 orzzzzzzzzzzzz Despite not playing well, the first game i only lost by less than 100 pts. The second game I lost by around 64 pts…well that guy checked at 100 so there’s nothing I can really do except *facepalm* at myself orz.

I really believe I wilted badly after that double 9 match was because I am happy with what I have already and my concentration suffers a big freefall. I should not be satisfied and keep my intensity up. I am sure it will come eventually when I start winning matches. But to be honest, if I played like this a few weeks earlier, I am sure I can at least get one singles 501 game win…I mean, all the people I am facing now are miles better than me, or at least thats what the record indicates.

Let’s also see if I can build this up for next Tuesday. I am sure I will eventually win a single 501 game. I am very sure I can do this if I can keep my intensity up during the whole time. I can’t be satisfied winning one match, I have to be more hungry, and I know I can do this.
