2011 Poomsae Event
Never once crossed any inch of me that I will spend hours and hours watching any sports event, especially one like Taekwondo, but believed me, I am doing it and am starting to like this sport! Why and when, yes, as you must have guessed, most parents would when their children started on it.
Back in Year 2009, when Shawn asked me if he can learn Taekwondo, I hesitated but cos' I do not want to discourage him, I let him try, and thought he will get bored and opt out soon. I was totally wrong about that, cos' he was serious and he loved it. He started off with a private training centre until he reach Red 1. Along the way, I hopped in once a while to check on him, that's when I start to learn the steps and found it interesting...
I transferred him to join the school team. He opposed with hands and legs and wasn't please at all with my decision. I had to, cos' of $$ issue. Somehow, he's ok now and he had to thank me for transferring him cos' he gained so much of experience. His Master put him in most of the competition since!

Even though, he did not win anything for Individual, I was still proud of him cos' he managed into semi-final. Comparing to the last compete, he's more serious, less scared.
My handsome boy showing off his bronze medal won in Team category.I believed there are more to come..and I will support him all the way.
Bravo son!
