Sacrificing sleep for the sheer thrill

WHEREVER I've gone these last 10 days, many people have asked me the same question: "Just how do you do it?"

"It" being staying up each night to catch most of the World Cup football matches - which kick off at the rather unforgiving times of midnight, 3am and 6am, Singapore time - and still being able to put in a full shift of work the next day.

My response is simple: have a power nap instead of a power lunch; invest in a good gourmet coffee-maker; and, above all, love The Beautiful Game enough.
