Recently had the chance to interview one of Australia’s foremost contemporary artists, Ash Keating. Man’s making a splash. signatureluxurytravel.com.au… #art #australianart
"Whether you’re a solo gourmet, cocktail-loving DINK couple, or harried breeders travelling with a brood, there’s much to be a fan of here." My T+L review of the @MO_SINGAPORE's colourful, foodie- and family-friendly $135million refurb. travelandleisureasia.com/sg/…
ALT Decor at the newly refurbished Mandarin Oriental Singapore hotel.
Seems @TheRakeMagazine has resurfaced my 2017 story on how to wear shorts with rakish swagger — evergreen #menswear content, never not relevant. therake.com/default/stories/…
Excellent choice of tune at the conclusion of the Olympic dressage. m.youtube.com/watch?v=mlYJf6… (Hat tip to the silver medal winning Danes.)

A bunch of cool new designer hotels opened recently in Singapore and I valiantly reviewed them for @travelandleisureasia

“Come back tonight! It’s going to be amazing! We’ve got such a good DJ! You know, we don’t work at the W hotel—we PARTY at the W! Woooo!” travelandleisureasia.com/th/… My review of the super enthusiastic, disco-tastic @WHotels @WSydneyHotel, the group's largest property to date.
Brewers of #craftbeer are going bust all over the place. In this op-ed for @channelnewsasia, I wrote about the shuttering of Singapore's top craft brewer, whose failure was more a result of off-target branding than broader market challenges, IMHO. channelnewsasia.com/commenta…
This Euro-Disneyesque horror is TripAdvisor's user-rated Best Hotel in the World 2024. tripadvisor.com.sg/Travelers… Remainder of the top 10 not much better. Who votes for these things?
Not long ago I met the ‘senior lifestyle editor’ of the local edition of a major international magazine and asked them what they did previously. “I was the intern,” they replied. “I graduated last year.”wsj.com/lifestyle/careers/th… ‘Senior’ Jobs, No Experience Required @callumborchers
Ahead of all the serious watch launches of Watches&Wonders 2024, here's a more whimsical horological novelty I stumbled across yesterday: beams.co.jp/en/item/beams/wa… c/o the good people at @BEAMS_JP
In my latest op-ed for @ChannelNewsAsia Commentary, I wrote about why it’s disrespectful for businesses — like @godfatherspizza and Gotti Italiano restaurant — to use organized crime as a marketing gimmick. channelnewsasia.com/commenta…
User-generated #TripAdvisor #TravelersChoice ratings are laughable. This skanky strip of overcrowded sand and overdeveloped land is Asia's third-best beach?! GTFOH. tripadvisor.com.sg/Travelers…
Please take note, all the men’s style magazines that call every bloody tailored jacket a ‘blazer’
Just had a #freelance invoice paid six months to the day after submission. Atrocious, but far from the worst ever — I waited 11 months once. (And of course, a couple times, never got paid at all.) Being left hanging a half-year or more is the biggest downside to #freelancing 1/2
As more and more people go ‘gig’ this problem desperately needs solving. Financial planning is impossible when #freelancers can’t know when (or indeed, if) they’ll be paid. 2/2
New on @TravLeisureAsia, my list of tasteful Valentine's Day activities for Singapore-based romantics. travelandleisureasia.com/sg/… @TravelLeisure #ValentinesDay
Unveiling his first @Melbourne project, Japanese 'starchitect' Tadao Ando told me about his favourite buildings around the world. travelandleisureasia.com/sg/… One of them is in the @cityofsydney.
