Shilo When I Was Young: The mystery of friends
http://shilo70.blogspot.com/2014/05/the-mystery-of-friends.html
Shilo When I Was Young. All that is gold does not glitter, not all those who wander are lost - JRR Tolkien. Thursday, May 22, 2014. The mystery of friends. Coming from a large and close family, I’m sociable and easygoing (at first), so I tend to make a lot of friends everywhere I go. At least, that’s what my theory has been so far. But the truth, I think, is that it makes me look for family everywhere I go. The wonderful thing is that I’ve found it, over and over. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Shilo When I Was Young: February 2014

Shilo When I Was Young. All that is gold does not glitter, not all those who wander are lost - JRR Tolkien. Monday, February 17, 2014. A Saturday night in Saigon. Growing older single has taken away the ability to do nothing without the sneaky feeling of being a social misfit. I’ve always enjoyed my own company – or that of characters in books and sitcoms – but now I can’t shake the feeling that it’s pathetic, and I should be out somewhere creating a fracas.

Shilo When I Was Young. All that is gold does not glitter, not all those who wander are lost - JRR Tolkien. Monday, April 21, 2014. Sailboats and wishing wells. I didn’t invent the lovely line, Katie Melua. Friday, April 04, 2014. The other Phnom Penh. This view of Phnom Penh was extended the next morning as I wandered through the designer boutiques on Street 240, sampled handmade chocolates, and discussed the Indian elections with a café owner over Sauvignon Blanc and baguettes. The other Phnom Penh.

Shilo When I Was Young: An underwhelming Cannes 2014?

Shilo When I Was Young. All that is gold does not glitter, not all those who wander are lost - JRR Tolkien. Friday, June 13, 2014. An underwhelming Cannes 2014? It’s one of those years where two exciting things in my life come together – the FIFA World Cup and the Cannes Lions. Both generally build my exhilaration and energy to fever pitch. 1 Pure creative genius, the joyous insanity of a good idea. 2 Fantastic brand or consumer insight wielded with consummate prowess.

Shilo When I Was Young: August 2014
http://shilo70.blogspot.com/2014_08_01_archive.html
Shilo When I Was Young. All that is gold does not glitter, not all those who wander are lost - JRR Tolkien. Sunday, August 24, 2014. What's up with Singapore lately? A taxi driver was apologetic that his card machine was not working, rather than complaining that I should be carrying cash (which used to be the usual practice). We went to look at a house recently, and someone in the neighborhood walking his dog stopped to talk. People you pass on the street smile at you. Last night, I walked past a pri...

Shilo When I Was Young. All that is gold does not glitter, not all those who wander are lost - JRR Tolkien. Saturday, June 21, 2014. If you were a young adult in Bangalore in the early 90s…. Disclaimer: There are many Bangalores from that time, and this is just one of them, but they all shared that certain something. You had steak at Shezan and apple pie in The Only Place. It’s still the best apple pie you’ve ever had, though you’ve become fussier about steak. You ate pasta at C...You had Hot Chocolate F...

Shilo When I Was Young. All that is gold does not glitter, not all those who wander are lost - JRR Tolkien. Tuesday, April 28, 2015. Heavy suitcase, light heart. Found this blogpost that I wrote exactly three years ago today, the first day I landed in Vietnam. I took the photo at the coffee shop I was in then. It went on to become "my place" in Saigon. Wednesday, April 15, 2015. After three months in Jakarta. Hard to get a grip on Jakarta;. There’s too much of it. Ts not easy to. From point A to point B.

Shilo When I Was Young: Just two days in Bali
http://shilo70.blogspot.com/2015/05/just-two-days-in-bali.html
Shilo When I Was Young. All that is gold does not glitter, not all those who wander are lost - JRR Tolkien. Wednesday, May 27, 2015. Just two days in Bali. Sitting in the airport, composing excited Facebook posts, as befitting someone on their way to a fabulous beach resort, I knew it was not a good time to go to Bali. It was grey and rainy, both outside and in. I did not know if I was going towards something or just away, but whatever it was, I was dragging too much baggage for comfort. Some like it not.
