A new project. #3

On my way from the Ritz Carlton (where i spent 2 very frightfully blurry nights) to the Jakarta airport this morning, it occurred to me that I have become annoyingly lazy of late. Too lazy to make plans or remember to care, letting questions or moments of curiosity drift by freely, not being bothered about keeping in touch with the things I really like.

So in effort to pacify the nagging exasperation at myself, I've decided to start a new project. I'll note down the things that I google (specifically - out of genuine curiosity).

Today's entries:

Remedy for smelly down pillows

Tord Gustavsen

Tyler Brûlé (crazy double accent!) & Monocle's Most Livable Cities List 2009

Other new projects I've started this year:

#1 - rekindling this blog

#2 - Dear Posh's virgin flea market experience

Auckland-Singapore

The roads to airports always feel the same. Lonely, solemn, depressing. Especially when there are highways over bodies of water. It doesn't matter where I am - across the Hang Gang, driving past Soviet-style apartment blocks in Beijing, or down Sydney Road at night. The stillness of it all always tugs. Lightly, but enough to cause moments of reflection, moments of utter loneliness.
