This is the first time I am taking part in a fencing competition. It is the annual Modern Fencing Minime Competition organised by Modern Fencing and held at Temasek Club. At first I wasn't keen to participate but Mummy and Daddy convinced me to just go have fun. It is not about winning but more to experience being in a competition. We woke up early this Sunday morning and unfortunately we had to skip church today. We got to Temasek Club early and while I thought it is just a minime competition so it won't be that crowded but boy was I wrong. We noticed there were participants from other neighbouring countries too and some Malaysians have driven in to participate. There were also some from Hong Kong and the Philippines.
As it was our first time, we all didn't know what to do or what to expect and thankfully some mothers were kind enough to tell us what to do and where to go. I started the competition in a group with 5 other boys. I had to play all 5 of them so that they could place us in the next group. I came very close to winning 2 of the boys but unfortunately I lost all 5 matches. And for the second round, I will play and the moment i lose any game I am out. I tried my best and didn't make it past the first opponent. It was a good experience and I am sure I will do better the next time I compete.
