Most exciting day of my NTU life!

We got 2nd!!! First time in Hall 9's darts team history!

We had 2 more prelim matches before the semi-final round, against Hall 5 followed by Hall 3. Before the start of the game, my very zai Hall 2 opponent wished me good luck, so nice! We won Hall 5, thankfully because their girls were reserve players, although my opponent tyco checked out in the first game, but I won the following 2 games with my favourite number, 32. We are already guaranteed a spot in the semi-final by winning them.

Still, we have to thrash with Hall 3 for the last prelim round. It was more of a warm-up coz we believed that we would meet them in the final (Our spirits were high and we felt that we could win Hall 1). Sadly, my opponent won me by all 3 games, because she checked out first. I was on the check-out also, but she beat me to it.

Our opponent for semi-final was Hall 1, which I played it very nervously, my hands were trembling. Thank goodness, I won the first 2 games, so that gave me an edge already. I want to win 3 sets, but in our final game, we both trying to check out a double-1, and she did it first! Never mind, last round already, let her win. Heh heh. Still, we beat them 5 boards!!!

We met Hall 3 again in the final, and it was nail-biting round. I was thrashed by my opponent, yet again. 3-nil. Wah lau, I could have won the 2nd game if I did not calculate wrongly and pull out my darts so fast! I had a 48 score remaining, so I could do a nice shot of single 16, followed by double-16. But my darts hit a score of 43, which I calculate wrongly and I tot I burst the score, that's why I pulled my darts out. So I was left with 5, which was neither here and there. So my opponent checked out before me! Last game was pathetic, she finished the game even before I checked in! Malu siah.

We lost to them by only a board, a very close fight! We still got our medals, just that we won't have our picture on Hall 9's hall of fame, that's all. =)

Oh yeah, after 2 exciting days, I still have to meet my nemesis: Exam results! Gosh...
