I was supposed to be away from July 15 to 25 but postponed the trip due to conjunctivitis.
It was however too late to rescind my instructions to news vendors to suspend the delivery of all the newspapers I subscribe to, namely The Straits Times, Business Times, TODAY, Financial Times, Wall Street Journal and International Herald Tribune.
I thought I would suffer from withdrawal symptoms – what is morning coffee without all those papers?
However, to my surprise, I’m doing pretty well without them thus far.
