Back

The reality of life hits you like a thunderbolt when you receive a call from the office with your next assignment as your plane is parking at Changi Airport.

I was just returning from a one-week trip to cover Tiger Woods in Shanghai.

Come on man, the plane has not even come to a halt?!

Oh well, enough complaining.

Shanghai was great, though it would have been perfect if I had not caught the flu from another journalist on Thursday.

An average day was as follows: wake up, watch golf, file report, dinner, massage, sleep.

The place has not changed much - heavy traffic, rough people, expensive shopping, cheap spa.

The weather was pleasant this time round, unlike the daily drizzle I experienced last year.

Still no luck with the Woods autograph (not that I bothered to even try this year), although he was less guarded.

Back to the real world...
