Independent Singaporean Literary Writer & Fine Artist
Meryl Yeo, Yawen
(Meryl has been my maiden nickname since 2003. Yeo Yawen is my full name.)
*Authorities in Switzerland registered my name without a say, as:
Yawen Schindhelm née Yeo
I and my company are strictly Standalones.
I have no parent company.
I’ve changed my number.
For Swiss Tax Year 2024 onwards, my number is also different.
Please stop using the old number, it goes to somebody else. I’m divorced since 2024..
I have never been a student nor an intern in Switzerland and/or any Schengen country including Italy. I have never had a coach or mentor. I’ve never had a boss while in Switzerland nor agreed to be under one, I’ve always been my own boss for my own works and this was the agreement — that’s why my name was side by side on the dossiers, and on the fund applications, and I was registered as the 50% business owner. I was told we needed to run through other projects first to secure funding for mine. I have never received a single cent of funding for my own projects and was actively stopped from starting or proceeding further for the entire 5 years. I was only partly reimbursed for my own business expenses to be on projects I was told my presence was absolutely vital on as the 50% business owner, and it wasn’t even a reimbursement it was an actual salary slip with a disgustingly low sum that made it falsely look like I had agreed to be a low wage worker or practically unpaid intern, barely even covered 1/4 of what I had to fork out to be there, when I was only ever paid out from my own funds. I have no residence in Italy, whether purchased or rented. I have never purchased a property recently. Any Funds raised in my name were never paid out to me. There are some people who arranged it so I always have to go through them for my own money.
I was a Standalone Business Owner with a partner, and only partly reimbursed for the business expenses I put into the business but as a salary slip (given no say) which incorrectly makes it looks like I’m a low wage earner. I have never been given any access to my own funds, which are being held and need to be traced. Most of my expenses are a result of outright refusal to reimburse my international flights/accommodation as promised, or others’ spiteful unprovoked cancellations of my international travel/accommodation arrangements requiring me to fork out for my own last minute arrangements for things where my presence is described as vital, or sudden unnecessary issues and disruptions requiring me to pay and arrange my own transport/transfers. The team of alleged high professionals I was forced to rely on were also refusing any and all basic service and information, and whenever I tried to hire my own team things became “difficult” such as being disallowed time for my own projects or uninterrupted sleep (it's extremely difficult to make me lose sleep, I am a KO sleeper & DreamWalker and can sleep through light renovations without sedation). I was also kept in small holding rooms and required to wait with no brief, often separated from my alleged team(s) while refused information. Before I came over in 2019, at least two unauthorized and unknown people administratively put themselves in between without my involvement so everything has to go through them. Someone had arranged for my one administration to be split into several records of people and my sensitive ID documents distributed over them, which is an illegal operation especially in this part of the world. No one in Singapore will work with me until the legal name issue with Swiss authority is resolved. I have thus far spent 60K CHF of my own savings to manually retrieve and/or generate enough irrefutable administrative data, and have since hired a Swiss lawyer.
No affiliations with other entities and/or individuals, no licensing agreements.
No representatives.
I’m a firm believer in kindness without sacrifice.
I am and. have always been a strong critic of the act of martyrdom, and conversely the use of as an excuse to
I once said that I was successful because I rolled up my sleeves, started from a humble station in life without expecting to become anyone Important. This was deliberately misconstrued by others who neglected to share the rest of it; there was someone who once said that he never expected to become anyone Important, too. That person was Elvis Presley. I was referring to Elvis. Just because others find endless excuses to impose their opinions on what they believe is all I can or should ever be, or want to decide what’s the ceiling of potential for me, hardly means they’ll get their way.
I’ve never been a paid-for-hire talent or model, I was roped in by friends for fun/community and was often the paying customer or person who hooked people up with good jobs and solutions. I’ve never been nor worked as a character in a theme park. I’ve never worked for or with a video game company. I’ve never signed any release form nor anything to license out my personality, personage, likeness, personal body of work(s) and/or company in any manner. I’m the coach, I do pure Standalone self-achievement and choose that over competing with others.
Please only deal direct.
(edits in progress. I regularly rework my content and update here, if you’d like to know more about the technique(s) I use feel free to drop me a line.)
I’m a Singaporean born into a family as the Eldest biological daughter, and have formulated my own holistic curriculum throughout my life based on whatever I wanted to explore and investigate. My works since a young age have primarily centred around existential questions and methods of enquiry, in my 20s I explored Lifeskills and People Systems (including information systems), and from my late 20s into my 30s I progressed onto esoteric and difficult/layered information, waking into advanced DreamWalking (this began from childhood), which caused some furore as everything I’d done thus far had been easy for others to justify and dismiss, until it came to knowledge that I’m given to understand some societies deem as their Secret that can only be learned by going through them, and also concepts that were previously deemed to be confined to race or religion. I basically proved otherwise, that the knowledge is our human Heritage requiring no allegiance to anything except one’s own Highest Good, and some people may have paid a lot for their access through those societies and so on. They may have also misunderstood this to be about magic or mindreading and somehow their information had been “stolen” through some kind of quantum link and all that face-saving garbage, when I only had access to publicly-available information — things that had already been published by their authors, many already out for decades — then slept on the rest of my workings and figured it out myself, rather than absorbed from any others.
I have at points run my own part-time Practice putting out what I want to see in the world, from my background of Fine Art and English Literature/Theatre. Because I’ve made the unusual choice of doing this concurrently while taking up undemanding jobs that leave ample room for original thought and writing, rather than throw myself into the money-making spheres that would take up all my youthful energy and time with the aim of becoming a practitioner only after I retire. I deemed the latter way undesirable as, for me, it’s better to have a life than a plan. I’ve certainly never advocated that others try this. I arrange what suits my stage of inner development, which has nothing to do with how old one looks in the mirror or physical age. It’s about getting connected with yourself, prioritizing your Voice over the incessant chatter and suggestions around you and your ever-connected devices, and finding out for yourself what your Blueprint is. So you can focus on that and be motivated from that, then from there look at what modern products and paths are suitably connected. There’s no such thing as an easy way out.
I‘m an MoE-certified Lifeskills Coach specializing in Anti-Cyberbullying modules, and taught once a week for several years at Girls’ schools and Mixed-gender schools Nationwide, with a diverse team of coaches of different genders and walks of life. In my own Practice as a Holistic creator and by extension educator, people who have come to help me maintain my studio have been Pioneer generations of educated retirees born in the 20’s to 40’s who are out of the game and have seen everything, who walk to my studio to see what I’m doing. They know exactly what they want, have seen all kinds of people and can’t be fooled so I never have to justify my appearance or explain what I’m doing, they’ve always known exactly what it means when I say I’m a Fine artist writer of English literature independent of any state power or organization/group. They can be a bit surprised when I start talking, but take in my appearance once more and seem to genuinely appreciate the unusual combination.
In other parlances, I would be what some would know of as a spiritual teacher, of a soul age normally not known to be seen or born in countries like Singapore, as it is more known for — pardon my brutal honesty — its mimics and scavengers rather than original material. But I’m not exactly a teacher, without saying so much in our times of peace a lot of our warriors became educators. In Australia when I began in earnest, becoming visible in doing so while juggling a full load, I was recognized by some amongst who were Irish, Polish, some part Aboriginal in the Helping professions, the last of whom I was asked the most questions on why I was there and why I dared to be visible — they seemed to understand something, that there were generally no Asians my inner age who physically wandered doing what I do nor made their presence known. It was the experience of the independent person that’s telling, not the state-funded to-be-seen’s in the media. Some came in from France and also South America. Since my House was only open to women, some women born in the 70’s or 80’s who enjoy their independence came to stay and enjoy the camaraderie for a while. In general, it seemed they understood that if one of us showed up it was usually for good reason. The only place I was suggested to be especially targeting young men (sigh) were places like Singapore or online spheres, by people who were narrower in their focus/social appeal and generally limited to an isolated male audience (>90%) for themselves. My audience in real life has been diverse, for instance my 2016 workshop had a mother and young daughter and a queer couple among us so I tended to stand on their side and speak to everyone from there to literally make my stand clear. All these little things usually work, but there are those who have yet to be shown a better way and may still be trapped from adopting incompatible doctrines and practices that teach them to harm others. I’ve placed few if not no restrictions on who joins but make it clear that I’m serious about my work. There were some unwanted issues in the past when I was younger, which made me always look forward to old age, as before and after my 5 years in Australia, I was having to spend more time shaking people off my trail who were starting to physically come into my workplaces to look me up but they were only wanting my energy and time for themselves, so it was unfair when they tried to suggest it was the other way around. It was a bit intrusive and upset me a few times at first, especially when I was treated like like I was disallowed to disengage or say no to the contact if it took me away from my works, and the reactions were at times as if some of these people had paid someone to see me, as if they failed to realize that people have our own lives, but I would find ways to discourage their interests in a way that respected mine. I felt it was unfair when they tried to cover their tracks or save face by turning around and telling others I was the one who was somehow interested in their group (?) or type and wanted their energy when it had clearly been the opposite, and the worst part was that they held it against you for basically saying no, even if you are skilled at letting them down easy. It was as if they found more to be offended about the more they reported to each other that I was genuinely serious about my work and declined to give my energy away. Then they started creating obstacles and offered things that at first appeared to be opportunities but was really to harvest me for my material or try to get me onboard and redistribute my material and energy to others. Then when this decidedly maladjusted loose group of men saw how I could turn things around and rearrange everything to restore my own material and my own energy to the proper channels, a different form of attack began in earnest. They literally wanted my energy and material. They thought I should give to up to them for free and redistribute it to whoever they want, as if none of them were able to make anything on their own. I used my 2016 workshop to prove that they *can* access from their own blueprint and create. I also made it a point to physically stand on the side of the mother and child, and the queer couple, to make it clear that I was not taking from them. I left.
Originally Switzerland was thought of as a possible place as my works were deemed to require a longer incubation with no undue pressure for fast turnovers and interference which destroy the material’s potential and potency like in Singapore. The rest is history Honestly I’m keen to get back on track, there’s just so little time to do what I want.
As I’ve never had the opportunity to start my own full-time practice to date, even when I had the business in Switzerland, I can only go by metrics that were based on whatever few hours a week I’ve had to myself in the past 2 decades while juggling other full-time commitments that paid out just enough to get by, an entry-level 1-2K a month across 1-3 sources (short stints of 4-5K singular sources at most, those left you with no time for yourself and there’s no point doing things that others insist on forcing on you just because it works for them but only sets you up to fail or stagnate with those fake facade careers of eternal mediocrity because you’re best at something else), decent jobs that allowed me time for intellectual pursuits and amounts that didn’t require you to sell your arse, compromise your values, or do something you’re uncomfortable with — like this Swiss admin thing registering me as a man and more. If someone told you that you could get your money and “retire” if you agree to accept being registered as the opposite sex and more, but you’re quite happy as just you, would you really do it for money? Or would you go, screw this, I’ll fight back. I might temporarily look like a clown to my financially saavy friends for spending 5 figures to settle things they’re unable to see on the ground, live more modestly and KIV my career to make my own administration/investigations (those mundane jobs paid off unexpectedly), but I’m going to have so much compelling evidence that I’m going to be able to find a Swiss lawyer with all the things that meta. (you can’t just go ‘ooh I’ll save and retire’, your intellect will get totally *destroyed*. You’ll become a zombie. I met many people who were supposed to be smarter than me and I had to explain that they had essentially been led to choose to destroy their intellect and sell their potential for cheap, overinvesting for “retirement” and “money” when our systems look set to change entirely within the next decades and I would never have learned this if I hadn’t done my so-called “wasteful” travel — more another time, will share when I publish my personal works).
There’s always a risk when you move from one space into another. Once I stepped into Switzerland in 2019 I was tied up with the administration in a way that no amount of modern financial literacy matters until it’s resolved (I mean, it takes max 2 years to get updated if you’re slow). Some followed me from Singapore or wherever, cutting into the administration (authorized middlemen), among these pests who’d cleaned out my family at the turn of the millenia and take it out on us in the newer generations. There’s no point if you own nothing you have and have no freedom at all, you’ll be doing your financial star jumps and there’s 3-5 pairs of idle fat hands in your pockets, you’re breaking your back frontend while your funds are held in a misgendered etc duplicate registration of you and someone else laughs all the way to the bank. Meanwhile people think there’s something wrong with you because you seem to go silent or trip up a lot but you’re actually doing unpaid double time just trying to shake off these guys that want a piece of your pie (not chart, pie) even before it’s out of the oven and on the shelves, clustering and even obstructing you from opening shop, until onlookers make “coming soon” memes in ‘honour’ of you. Government administration is quite unlike economic systems and financial products/institutes. You need to get rid of the inappropriate administration and burn these guys off. I’ve spent 5 figures in the last year to be physically in Switzerland, none of it on leisure travel, it was because there was no way to hire legal or financial professionals; the administration and logistics were all blocked so that you couldn’t even touch the most elementary things without causing an “explosion”. You can tell me all about how to be smart about money, but there’s no use if you have money and there’s no way to leave alive. For example, if I had gone by the usual easy-as-pie logistics moving company route that tells me it would magically do everything for 8K bucks, instead of being here to organize myself which cost 4 times as much, I would never have discovered on time that I had been registered in Switzerland as at least 3 people for *tax* because I organized it myself from a totally different canton in the German-speaking quarter, with all the major multinationals and banks that work with Singapore — and I tracked everything — yes this cost me 4 times as much but this documentation I made was the only reason I found a lawyer this year. These people have deliberate logistics problems, major theft and insect problems, identity abuse problems, you need to be on site to physically move your personal belongings and perform your own administration to get out because they don’t actually let you leave.
I remember everything, one of the few. They are lying.
There is no way I could have consented to what was done. There was no way I could have done it to myself. First of all, these were real-world agreements, made in person. Not anonymized. There was only one correctly filled application form with one identical set of documents, and everyone saw what I look like.
It was wrong of Authorities to bolt me in place throughout the entire procedure, keeping me completely immobile and placing something to completely obscure my view of what they were about to do to me and what they were doing while it was being carried out. I was told when to speak, but kept blind without any information on what Authorities had already decided for me, without informing me of the exact procedure being done and asking if I was okay with it. The operation they performed on me was precise and could only have been carried out by themselves. Furthermore, they were the only Official Swiss Authority able to advise on the matter and administrate such affairs. I was initially denied from any enquiry with the excuse that I must be a different person or that I somehow did it to myself. Furthermore, they hid this setup so that no one could even see what the full situation was at any time — neither the Swiss Embassy Consular staff, Swiss high professionals nor myself — which would normally have alerted us to make enquiries or file the necessary objections. Under the circumstances, it was entirely impossible for me to give consent to what was about to be done to me or what was done to me, as I was never informed of what was about to happen. It resulted in … (edits underway)
The people responsible for arranging this sought to destroy me simply because they disliked what I said : That I succeeded and gained a global audience by 2015 not because of any past Employer's cleverness, but because I did Good Works starting from a humble station in life without expecting to become Somebody Important. Kind of like what Elvis said about himself. I also roundly criticized Big Media’s chasing of hollow #1 Awards, saying that you can give me real personal triumphs based on one’s own real-life experiences and memories over fake wins and fake experiences any day. One day all the Real Authors will all be found so why do what will never last, why keep us all stuck and in trouble because some people can only do things one way and think everybody should have no choice too? Even if this is my view and approach, which has enabled my progress, no one has the right to decide for me or force me to stay while requiring me to go, and force me to go while requiring me to stay. I should be able to come and go freely, as one and the same person.
Imagine a person with plenty of awards and gold, but inside they’re so empty that a simple honest desire expressed by someone like me who appears to have significantly less, who just walks to the beat of my own drum and seems able to be happy in spite of anything, getting some organic results in the process, can splinter them so deeply they would move to orchestrate such an elaborate killing. Seems to me that the Hubris of Rome wants a repeat, and back then they never saw it coming.
I stand by what I said. And I’m fully ready to continue strutting through this world putting what *I* want to see. Doing what *I* deem fit. Meeting new people. Making new friends. New experiences. And Fighting for my Right to /Party. Right now I’m in the midst of Fighting back for my Right to have my Ownership & Inheritance restored as someone who is still alive. Fat chance. They’re just unable to wait until I’ve taken my last breath at the physical end of a long life lived. I’m still in my 40s. I’m a woman, from the kind of family where our women have traditionally all married late even before my maternal grandmother’s time, and usually among the highest educated women in our regions. Just because I want to live my life differently, and have enjoyed doing so, and turned out to be more than what others have made of me (despite me informing them that my grandma and great grandma had already been highly exceptional women who were liked) gives no one right or reason to pretend there’s something wrong with me. I have a great future ahead of me that these guys just wasted a lot of resources hoping to destroy, when they could’ve used it to work on themselves and genuinely helped a lot of people become the best versions of themselves. Everyone deserves the right to be the Authors and experts of their Own Story, from their own shared and individual experiences, from their own imagination, will, desires, and so on, without anyone out there acting to take that way and try to redistribute hoping to keep us small if they can just make us forget who we are, to force their opinions on us on what each of us can or can’t be, should or shouldn’t do, arranging —and not just opining or suggesting — to remove people’s Free Will as if none of these would-be Hostiles understand the very point and privilege of conducting a Life as a Living, Breathing human being free to walk this planet — to be our own Person without being forced to carry out other people’s ideas, forced to split or give away what we own without a say, free to be with anyone we choose, to make our own new agreements and experiences. If there’s Choice, we should be able to step out anytime we deem fit or work towards a different outcome given reasonable effort and time. Not by the grace of someone else’s unnecessary charity, as if this were the only way such people could ever naturally have a place above anyone, as opposed to being the Leader(s) that others decide they want to see without a political situation forcing the matter or paid for to be in our faces with marketing sense and dollars by people think they should never have to get to know any of us.
Initially my Team and Supporters had difficulty finding me, I found out, because someone had pretended to know my family and outright lied that there was only one sister, rerouting all my achievements to her. They somehow convinced key people that they were somehow in charge of me or that I reported to them or deferred to them in some way by simply showing others they had my contact details. They blocked my exit and set it up so that anytime I needed to access something related to my paternal grandmother’s records I had to go through them. This would be someone who used to live on landed but had to downsize due to lack of income ability, someone I’d barely spoken to, and they would’ve gotten my number by pretending to offer something that might be good for me while I was on my way in Singapore. I’ve changed my number. My younger sister seems aware that she is being mistaken as me, and appears happy not to correct people on that. Further I also discovered there’s a fairly young man, possibly the son of a former public official, who would’ve had a long gap in his career after publicly opining that a certain Founding family’s heir had no future. He inserted himself between me and a Key Person and completely intercepted the conversation before the meeting could happen.
I’m the only sibling in the family who put myself through school on full International school fees, while juggling 2-3 jobs as most youth did. I worked my way up from scratch, from nothing, when everybody wrote us off after family tragedy at the turn of the millenia, and simply wrote me off as having no future too. And then none of them could be happy for me when I had my first successes. Whispers as to how I was getting this done. They simply had no idea how and then were kind of angry at the attention I was getting. But my successes and experiences have been real, based on my own achievements and in places where nobody knew me or my family. And my memory ‘muscles’ have been serving me well.
As an actual indie creator, I already have new projects in the ‘bake-ry’ and would like to move on if people are unready or disinterested, or have some kind of issues with them having incompatible personal beliefs that go against their own system’s requirement of neutrality, or incompatible practices originating from outside our core/established First World spheres.
Being an Independent Civilian, I’ve no ties to government, nor religion — I’ve succeeded outside of and in spite of any ‘Systems’ and agendas, entirely self-made, Ignostic.
While I’ve been the manager of myself and my own Standalone Practice since 2012, I began my works from age 7 and went through a long career to put myself on track to where I needed to be. I paid and paved my own way through life and earned my own immortality as seen in my material, which others have tried to distribute amongst themselves and put their names on hoping it can be transferred that way. That’s never been how it works, but they did inadvertently broadcast my works’ immortality. :)
At prseent, Google AI’s writeup misattributes my 2016 Art of Zine-making workshop to the wrong person’s Instagram account who looks subcontinental Indian, and is totally unlike me. My biological parents both look more similar to Mr. & Mrs. Lee.
I’ve hired a Swiss lawyer and at present am working with them to resolve their local administrative issues as previously shared.
It’s a bit tough especially these days when you love real people and real experiences too much to use Artificial Intelligence, and some unhappy people actually claim they have a problem with you just because of this, but I guess if you also love what you do and do it well you’re going to do your best to make it happen!
1990s-2011 Early years carefully archiving my own original compositions and artworks especially in my spare time, and from Cambridge English school exam papers (Singapore).
2003-2015 - Long full-time professional career spanning multiple industries in mainly companies on Global & SE Asian Fortune 500 or ‘Most Admired’ lists — including top 3 Telco, Big Tech, Modelling/Entertainment, Airlines, and cream of the crop, small boutique teams at 3-Hat restaurants like Vue when it was still under Melbourne homeboy Shannon Bennett, and other news darlings. In this entire time, nobody really knew which family I came from because you’d need to be in the inner inner circles to know, some only found out later when their higher ups made a big deal. I also had progress in my Career leading towards becoming an Independent Artist:

I’m somewhere near Switzerland at present and have been working closely with my Swiss lawyer. I’m travelling solo with no one accompanying me, no visitors. If you’ve really made it especially on your own efforts and merit, you’re going to be pretty happy with yourself and your choices. You’re therefore going to be able to be happy for others and believe that most things are achievable for people if they really want it, given time and effort. So if people can’t be happy for you, and seem to have no calling or nothing that they believe in but want to tell you what you can or can’t be, or even get angry at seeing your happiness and joy — maybe they have no idea what true Happiness is despite all and anything that they have. Oh well.
You know, you can always talk with Individuals. But it’s impossible to talk to people when they’re in Groups. Some are still in it, even when they’re alone and supposed to be Independent. You can always find conversations among true independents, even if they hold opposite views and belief systems. Some values are universal regardless of beliefs or background, and some wonder about the nature of the Universe we live in.
Yes I still believe we can all have nice things. We have to believe. It’s for us, ourselves, not anyone else nor any organized group. If we want something from anybody we can ask. We can make new agreements. We can get to know each other. We can learn to ask better questions, to get closer to the answers we seek. We can choose to look within and start from there.
Regardless of where you’re at in life in any given point, the only constant is that one same person you have to live with and face in your alone moments which is your Self.
In future, everything will be traceable right down to the very last author, every human being, every strand. Everything else falls away in time, revealing all. There is only one objective truth. The most valuable “things” will be of our unique and unadulterated human expression and spirit, from authentically lived human experience and real memories that nothing external can corrupt. All the the people who stand most to gain from destroying humanity, who throw people under the bus, wish hard that they can get away with it, write any human being off as AI — well they’d better be prepared to fail hard too, ’cause they’ve grossly misassessed the future and what it means to be in it. They are all eyes that fail to see, they are all ears everywhere but are never able hear the music of the ever-moving, ever-shaking world that exists and continues despite all, in spite of all. And for what it’s worth, here I come with pen and brush as sword. :>
I will announce my projects exclusively here on trueorigin.net.
