While in the lounge I take a much needed shower and check some emails. Soon enough it is time to board for the return, now in daylight, flight.
I keep an eye on the departure time - yup you guessed it I have another tight connection on arrival in Singapore. To my relief we leave on time.
I spend the flight dozing without getting any proper sleep, drinking, playing games and talking. Here is the menu.
