Invictus

Really had a tiring week at work. Got to handle a rival agency and their uncooperative tactics, got to prepare my boss to protect our own turf, got to brief our bosses on the events on the ground, ... sleeping at 1 and waking at 6 this morning, you must be able to imagine my relief when the meeting with Tony ended before lunch ...

I had wanted to gym but due to some interference, I realised that I didn't have the time. Well, let's be positive and conclude that my body still requires an additional day of rest =) The time now is 12.45am and I have tennis at 7am again ...

Am I being too harsh to my body, well, there are too many people/things to get in touch with/do: Work, Church, Tennis, Family, Colleagues, Old Friends, Marathon, Gym, etc that something has got to give, till I drop dead =)

Anyway, I managed to catch Invictus before the screening ends and it was an uplifting movie!! The beginning seemed draggy and slow but the final one hour was an epic. This movie had effectively beatified Nelson Mandela and if the movie was half as accurate as the actual event, then I must say that I could never have dreamt of someone so perfect, humble and forgiving, and his only other rival would be Jesus Christ.

By the way, among all the contact sports, I love rugby. Soccer is The Beautiful Game but rugby is the game that requires more teamwork over star players. And as boys, we always enjoy the crunch and an occasional fight.
