Full Circle-O


The last 7 days I have been following French Open. Nothing else matter to me in the last 7 days. Why? Because I watched Roger Fed's journey to be the greatest ever tennis player.

I watched every match like a psycho. Read every article like a psycho. Debate with Fed-haters in forums and blogs. I totally forgot the my life for 1 week.

All I cared is watching Fed. He is the biggest inspiration for me. I have followed him for 7 years. During that time he had won 14 grand Slam. Every tear, every sadness, every victory, every point every loss, I have followed.

There's something about him that I admire. He is the calm under pressure. Something that I am trying very hard to learn. Yesterday I vomitted when watching his match because I was so nervous. Wow!! it's not me who's playing.

And after this 7 years, I am glad I followed one of the greatest players that have ever lived. Yes, he won the French Open. After 3 finals which he lost. Any human being will be discouraged, will be depressed, will be torn apart.

But him, Roger Fed, is not like most human. He keeps on showing up. Keeps on doing what he believes he's doing. Not caring what people say. Some people call him Arrogant. People say he already lost.

For me, it is greatly satisfying to witness this. I wouldnt change it for anything. To witness and support your champion and Idol and see him achieve greatness is priceless.

I am tired now, gonna sleep, tomorrow I will wake up as a new, happy man. I am somewhat freed by my obsession. I have finished watching a 7-year movie.

And yes, it was a very entertaining and great movie.
