I stood there catching my breath. A gush of thoughts were racing in my mind. “You don’t even believe in me,” I sighed to my best friend. “No one does.” It’s funny how as soon as the words left my mouth, it dawned on me. A metaphorical mirror – a projection of my own reality. […]
There was something surprising about my recent visit to NYC. It’s kind of freaked me out. It’s as if I was finding out Santa isn’t real for the second time. You see, like others, I’ve long held the city as the epicentre of greatness – both in sheer size but also in less tangible aspects like opportunities […]
Just a teeny tiny post to let you know I’m still here and haven’t forgotten about this place. I’ve been heads down over the past few months on The Fetch and just got back from a mini-work/play trip to Vegas and Portland (two starkly contrasting cities). I’m going to put some thoughts together on both […]
I was walking through Montgomery BART station in San Francisco last week when déjà vu came upon me. The creamy hexagonal wall tiles (which coincidentally can be admired in Greenday’s When I Come Around video) triggered a long-forgotten one-time avatar from 2010. It was during that summer I’d quit my full-time job in the magazine world to follow […]
Be sure to grab a copy or peek of The Age’s (melbourne) magazine tomorrow as the annual Top 100 list for 2011 is out and a panel of judges deemed me worthy for inclusion! The Top 100 (which is apparently not ordered but for the record, I’m number 66) is a compilation of Melbourne’s most […]
There is nothing permanent except change. ~ Heraclitus I’ve been meaning to write a post about location independence for a while now… mainly discussing how I’ve been combining work with travel in the last two years and how a PO Box is now my official residence in Australia after recently selling a lot of my stuff. However, […]
For those not on Instagram, I’ve been cross-sharing photos of my travels on Flickr here. I will also try to post a wrap-up of my findings from each city visited soon. The idea is to produce a Startup City Index measuring different parameters from each city such as affordability, community, access to funding and more-subjective things […]
While walking through magical Copenhagen yesterday, I came across some free WiFi and unsurprisingly did a quick check of the trusted email. After scrolling through the usual lot, I encountered three messages (from the same IP address) that had been posted on my blog. I was a little taken aback to say the least. The […]
I’ve been wanting to reflect on the past six months for a few weeks now. To share how life is going on my little space on the web. I’ve duly titled it “Half-yearly review” and with the absence of a outside ‘boss’, it’s almost a performance review. As with a case of a lot of […]
Here’s a photo snapshot of the week I just spent in San Francisco:
But never forget the why.
A girlfriend made a remark about the way I dressed today. It was in relation to the casual attire I frequent. The succinct comment left numerous thoughts whooshing in my head – a micro-awakening to a forgotten place. You see, I haven’t really judged or evaluated myself via my appearance for a long time. My […]
