Meryl’s my maiden nickname. No one I’ve come across who is from the modern First World like I am and who’s doing the right thing has ever told me they had any trouble understanding this.
Swiss Authorities registered me on their Federal government databases as:
Yawen Schindhelm née Yeo
I descend from a line that is
Literary . Artistic . Musical
Somewhere out there there’s an African American former model, with a Caucasian American father, who can vouch for me - she was 16 when I was Model Management and convinced a client to hire her for a fashion editorial last minute after our booked model called in to cancel on us, the whole crew had a complete shock when she showed up because her name looked Caucasian on that list (which was supposed to be >18 years and only Caucasian/Pan-Asian) and she sounded Caucasian to me on the phone. But she was the only one who could be ready and cab down in half an hour, had the bone structure and the shoot cancellation would’ve been an expensive disaster. This incidentally and only on hindsight made her the first African American model to grace the cover of our local magazines since Naomi Campbell, and the first African American model to be chosen by Singaporean management rather than sent to us for a shoot from overseas headquarters. The celebrity agency owner had ordered me to send her home and “deal with it”, flower girl was white as snow and blonde as a Finn, but I did a good sell, the client accepted for the same sum, I gave her the pep talk and she did her own makeup with me doing a bit of finishing touches (makeup artist couldn’t make it back on time), with everyone expressing surprise and satisfaction with the results. I also fought for her equal pay because I promised that sum, but the agency boss wanted to pay her less than the European Caucasian model she stood in for. I honoured the promise, and I lost my job for that the day I was supposed to get promoted to higher management (partly also because a rival in building management falsely dobbed me in over something she was responsible over in Salt Melbourne). And that was a rough year for me because I got stalked and also had to deal with a rival group in building management. Just some years before all of this, the Top 2 Girls’ School I went to had come under attack. The teachers had called an emergency assembly to announce that almost of our students’ private details had been published somewhere or distributed, people were being told that we were all prostitutes and actively encouraged to seek us out. That caused us kids great upset, some of the girls cried. The adults assured us everything was under control, but as I was soon to discover it was definitely not so. For that, the adults made the drastic decision to cut whatever they had in the pipelines between the other parties at the country level. While it was a pity to lose that, as the daughters of our country’s top leaders and elite / highest achievers we were also potentially the mothers of our future leaders. And we were all also underaged, these attackers had gone for our womb when we were only children. It was something the adults felt deeply, and while we all remained stoic, I and many would soon realized that to strike at the elite core’s children meant war.
That was before I went on to Fortune 500 listers in Telco, Big Tech & Banking, aviation, 3-hat hospitality and management/training/restructure some of which made the news, education, while setting up my practice and incubating what would go on to become my complete manuscripts. Later down the road it all connected. I reached out in ways I never thought possible, and nor did anyone else I suppose.
In more recent years, they’ve been trying to say that I’m allegedly single and isolated because I’m allegedly a racist, someone who can’t work, or otherwise just completely different from my CV and lifetime track record. Because “they say so”. But I was also soon to find new evidence that would make me redefine what “best team” means, and who gets to be on it. Especially when I figured out how my position was given away and how some apparently assumed that this was easy to come by, and that anyone can do what I do — until the funding stopped coming in, since it’s obvious I’m not there. Not only did they stupidly give away by mistake what I brought in, they refuse to admit it and refuse to reverse their mistake (probably because they don’t even know who it was mistakenly given to after they took it from me), they refuse to pay out the second equal portion that is owed to me, and on top of this now act like I owe them the equivalent of the portion still due to be paid out to me. So they owe me two portions (one they took that was my existing, one that they owe which they refuse to pay out) and act like I’m the one who owes them for my lunch. They’re refusing to serve. I thought they were good in maths, apparently bad at distribution/economics and judgment.
I will never lower myself to sell my Art.
I’m organizing something for broadcast. It’s taking a while because I gather they’ve been trying to say I’m AI-generated, or have made serious arrangements to register me to say I were some kind of paralyzed, disabled and/or speech-impeded person using AI, when I’ve never stopped showing/speaking up for myself, have never received assistance/handouts in my life, and there’s been absolutely nothing wrong with me. What I do is cutting to the edge of time. It’s never been about dwelling on the past nor building on any previous works that have already been published nor made by others. They’ve been making me out to be someone totally different from my CV who would allegedly enjoy dole bludging and allegedly benefitting from authorities’ mistakes when in practice they have used this arrangement to take away my reproductive rights and that of all my future unborn children, force me to give up my career/ownership and copyrights, and force me to donate everything to their state. So this requires quite a bit more than a regular consumer phone video. I took most of my existing photos and videos off as a preventative measure. I was administratively silenced such that nothing registered as coming from me, and in the last years I had to make my own manual audit flags while trying to reach out and get help from all regular civilian channels, so for a difficult time I was mistaken as an activist when all this was and is being done to me — I’m speaking out for me. During these years while I was looking around for help, several multi-generational Swiss high professionals told me it was also done to someone in their direct family in Switzerland in recent times. So it’s also being done to Swiss. Everyone acted like they would be in danger if they helped in ways that identifies them. I know some people have found me and are quietly helping, although I don’t know who you are — Thank you.
I'm the registered Business Owner. I negotiate the contracts and never settle for less. I’m among the highest paid anywhere I go, usually already on entry. I'm never out of demand due to what I do which requires an exceptional level of initiative and intercultural communication, and I stand out best when I resist changing myself. This lends my team extra confidence to relax, be themselves and perform where it counts. This, and my core Creative/Ideation and meditative methods, draw from my personal experiences in varsity sports, Arts-related extra curriculars and early elite academia as springboards to totally new spaces of understanding and discovery/creation never before reached. I’ve never been confused as someone who gets put on standby. It’s easy to compare my CV and real achievements versus what others seem to say through their arrangement and entries.
I present my original works using different mediums.
I’ve created my own systems of knowledge using publicly-available data with the view of universal accessibility. By ‘Accessibility’ I never mean I give everything I make away for free nor that my consent should be skipped. None of these are borrowed or raw materials, they have to be specially processed beginning with the intellectual mind (or more accurately the relationship with it).
As a practicing Artist and Creator, I’ve never been in the business of presenting other people’s works nor simply building upon existing or translated material. I’ve been roped in by friends for others’ projects and to network, but in my practice I’m a Standalone with my own fresh Originals with topics that have never really been explored. I employ anecdotes and analogies which are the highest forms of cognition, while drawing from the priceless one-of-a-kind experiences that Singapore has allowed me the freedom to create. The yield is something completely unique yet universally relatable, and as unrepeatable as my own background. Singapore was often accused of censorship but in fact, barring limitations of what was made available to us in the times, has afforded me more freedom by way of birthright and practical application than anywhere else in the democratic First World where highfalutin marketing claims had become very popular. These kept people busy but never seemed to come into fruition. Whereas in our case, it had come into fruition and was now largely a problem with distribution. Meaning, economics and applied theory which I have previously discussed and encapsulated in my 2016 The Art of Zinemaking workshop at the Substation employing original methods, instructions and techniques in a known frame which surprised with a higher than allotted turnout. The results were instant, and luckily the Sub was willing to extend its opening hours as most participants wished to stay over the proportioned 3 hours to leverage the session. My methods are secular and suited for youth (we had one child at the session, accompanied by her mother), requiring me as the Host to have a clean body, heart and mind as lotus leaves which rise from the mud and can never be dirtied nor made to carry anything or anyone else no matter what is thrown at them. That is the condition required of the Host to open and hold such a session. Clearly, we could create and I had proposed and aligned the conditions. My self-conceived methods and subsequent results led to discourse and studies exploring Quantum theory and entanglement, albeit without discussing how alignment is truly achieved. There was a time of debate when my background was made unclear, but if you google Mr. Lee Kuan Yew on Youtube, that’s a good place to start when trying to discern my Trueorigins. Nevertheless our alleged sterility, then, seemed externally imposed and all these years only seemed desperate to prove me right on that account starting with the legal administration of my name, or rather lack of, which has required me to spend inordinate amounts of time and resources simply to get myself free of it and move on with what I already had before I even arrived. I
I am looking forward to it.
While you’ll meet people in this crazed world who’ve apparently given up on themselves and seemingly get off on running fresh success stories into tragedy, let them think whatever they want. I’ve stayed true to my own blueprint and keep marching to the heartbeat of my drum, and each day I make it I add yet another page to my own individual epic of triumph. Where there’s a will. :)
Projects to be announced here in due course, omnia suo tempore. And that one’s of the Cambridge (UK) alignments. We can have nice things, right?
I have no representatives. I have a lot of friends but very few close ones I actually trust, especially ones who are not on social media, so please directly check with me before sharing important information with anyone who claims to know me, no matter what they show you. Due to the increased interest in successful Singaporeans who show up in spite of foreign interference, I’ve briefed friends on securing their safety in case strangers enquire.
My content on here is original and AI-free. It’s quite obvious when you compare it with AI-generated content which lack nuances and, like its makers, is unable to be creative. I give no consent to having my content and/or likeness used to train AI nor represented as AI since the opposite is true. Even if you use my original content and/or likeness to train AI, my content is still non-AI generated. I’m still a person with proven real lived experiences, on-ground, in uncontrolled environments — which ironically is a freedom that my background specifically affords.
No representatives, no endorsements. Please deal direct.
