Independent Writer of English Literature & Fine Artist
Meryl Yeo, Yawen
Actually written & illustrated by a person (me! As above, and below)
*Registered in Switzerland without a say, as:
Yawen Schindhelm née Yeo*
(aka formerly Mrs. Michael Schindhelm)
My numbers have changed.
Anarchy hardly means absence of Governance.
It is supreme Self-Governance.
I’m an Independent writer of Literature, and Fine Artist from Singapore (non-Government). I had my 1st two Art studios in Melbourne (Temple Court on 422 Collins) and then Singapore (22 Starlight Road). I’m completely self-made, and although others have made serious attempts to undermine this fact in the last years it changes nothing. After this, I became the 50% Owner of an Art/Culture Business in Switzerland with my ex-partner.
When someone misguided slaps a wrong label on you, it’s never like you mysteriously stop being yourself and just become whatever that petty label says. That’s just what others want, it’s hardly for you. And how does it serve anyone when you have to keep playing small by playing their role. If someone needs you to be the bad guy in their story all the time and at your expense, when you have a better imagination of yourself and a lot more going on for you, walk away. Continue being the hero in your own story. If they don’t take no for an answer and refuse to let you off the hook, if they keep putting you down because they feel they can never have you or what you’ve got which is inseparable from you, keep saying no without saying no, like: ‘Yeah I know I’m hot babeh, but plenty of fish, let’s do something when you’re feeling better’. You just do what needs to be done for you and continue being awesome. If you’re tops in anything you do, like outstanding, there’s going to be some people who feel that they can never achieve more in life than sinking a punch in you and telling you you’re worthless, as if they’re trying to trick you into mentally trading places with them. That kind of hate — that’s on them, they have to live with themselves everyday. But if you start believing them instead of in yourself - that’s on you. Be so good that they can never even touch you. It’s not like you wouldn’t share or give of yourself but if they keep punching down, they want something else and that price tag is a no way. It’s priceless. They just want to see you miserable and suffering, they get off of it. How does it serve anyone, even themselves?
By the way, 421 means misidentified, if you’re sending your requests there it’s incapable of giving you an appropriate response. Also still applicable: what I said about drivers of a certain automobile brand starting with a Pee.
I have limited tolerance for people who rely too much on external appearances to decide how they’ll treat you. If that’s what the person needs to know how to treat others well, I’d rather see what they’re really like when they think I’m a nobody. So that I’ll get to see whether we’re really alike.
The incidents of the last years happened because there were too many unauthorized middlemen inserting themselves - people who mistakenly thought anyone can do what I do, assumed anyone can produce what I produce. They thought I’m a nobody. They were wrong. And well, no one bothered to verify because they were too excited about how much money they were going to make. It’s nothing like revealing ready-made books that are already there and withholding it from people, it’s about actually being able to touch and use raw data in a way no one else can, to do the work of opening new pathways and bridges before they’re even in any available form or language — and not killing off the only people who actually have the ability to do much more than read or copy/maintain. It’s like mistaking your key architect/captain for rival maintenance crew due to your own preconceived notions and personal limitations. There was also an unfortunate political problem, in that I’m a self-made woman. This challenges the narrative of many a middleman, about where such power and material is inherited from. I mean a handful literally fed my writing through an AI program and tried to copy my voice, and somehow registered me as a different person (a man) with the Swiss government, just to avoid paying me or even dealing with me. In their opinion, a woman can only be successful because of a man, but I was already successful on my own merit. So they also arranged to make it seem like a man is responsible for my success, when in reality the funds were mine. They might’ve also claimed to have inherited my original manuscripts from a dead relative and be “surprised” at its value, even though I and they absolutely knew what my work is worth, plus I’m still alive and none of them are related. Secondly I’m independent in the true sense of the word — meaning, I work for no one. I make my own luck. I create what I want to see, I have the final say — no one else. Combined with the proven influence of my works, where unlike them I need no polish nor ultra-expensive gear/productions to shine through (youtube.com/trueorigin), this seems to scare them beyond anything.
A vast number of people only pretend to believe in the things that they do. I don’t mean the social niceties which can be pleasant in a pedestrian way with some surprises. As we all know, knowledge and ability is more than one’s resume and fancy academic papers (which might as well be toilet paper to those who end up hiring you, let’s be honest - if you’re among the best, you’ve definitely seen and felt it). The things we all quietly discuss in the backrooms, pointing out the ones with decorated CVs but just cannot do the jobs that they say they can do. The ones who can actually do their job and their entire department’s, reduced to taking whatever potshots they can from behind their masks, resentful at having to hide and forced to choose mediocrity everyday, every appearance like being called up for jury duty. When is it ever for us? When do we get to do what we want? When do we get to set our own standards, live life for us.
We have a lot of overeducated people and experts around the world whom I know also feel forced to dump inordinate amounts of money/time into empty paper qualifications, patronized by entry/grant papers that require them to make up increasingly ludicrous “noble” reasons for their existence, have their faces rubbed into neutered problem-driven platforms disguised as solution-driven and akin to gaping maws of robotic need. Then they “ascend” only to be wrung around the necks by — quote unquote — market forces (gee, whodunnit), and then are thrown into things where they can only receive money if they’ll make what they’re doing all about other people, or if they’ll only talk about what others want them to say using material that’s palmed off to them (sos? who?). They make money backing other people’s often political causes but we can’t say that. My ancestors never had to make up noble reasons to do things which made a good difference for everyone, they looked after themselves first, learned to get along, people thrived with minimal interference. This whole setup today of pretending to do charity or be seen on a poster with some good cause or brown people (doesn’t matter which one just pick one, they’re all the same right? black, brown, tanned etc), while forced to tolerate a ridiculous invasive-technological penetration rate into our private lives, just so each of us can earn permission to wipe our own arse or scratch our own butt when one likes it and how one likes it, would be absolutely absurd to them. I completely understand the need for things like modern toilets with seats and that flush, maybe with those little bells and whistles, but it’s like we wanted the basic convenience and got billed for the whole space station. All this parading around talking about our sexualities like that’s what makes us people, what are we really doing to ourselves?
The thing that’s feared the most is not that people will start thinking per se. Oh I do think they know that we think. What’s most feared, is that we’ll break free and self-mobilize, self-organize. And these fears belong to Fascists.The kinds that make our benevolent authoritarian look fully democratic. When they talk about Freedom, when they talk about Rights, they don’t mean it’s for you.
I’m continuing my works now.
I’ve written English Literature and produced illustrations which I’ve been seeking ways to properly release for the past 10 years and more. In terms of cultural relevance and whether or not my work resonates with the Heart of the English culture and family tree:
My full original unabridged English-language works have been used and featured extensively in Western media including Hollywood movies, music albums by top/iconic Western artists with worldwide distribution, shorts and plays, many of which have topped global charts and continue to be screened, including those with millions of views per youtube video under big company brands. My material continues to be used extensively by these parties whose Western and global audience have apparently embraced my English Literature works as a valuable and intimate part of their own culture, while also continuously paying fresh tribute to my works, making cross references to multiple main works of mine which they’ve released as their own, cross referenced in places such as their variety shows as recent as 2025/2026.
My previous Independent Art/Writing Studios were @
Collins Street, Temple Court, Melbourne (2013-2015);
22 Starlight Road Singapore (2016-2018);
I’ve been looking to set up my studio since 2018.
I’ve appeared on 88.3 Southern FM Australia to talk about NoDamnPie.com, through some patrons of the restaurant where I worked as Manager, around the time I received mention for it in the news.
Around that time I’d also worked as a Host at Vue de Monde, when it was owned by Melbourne media darling Shannon Bennett. He showed me that you can achieve any dream you want, go as high as you want, if you set the right goals and work towards it, and there will always be people who will support your success if you can stick to your path and stay true to yourself.
Trueorigin is my Channel Name,
Conceived of by myself in Australia in 2012 as a sole proprietor;
It’s never been a Family name.
It’s unrelated to any other individual or group.
I have never been a virtual asset or personality.
I do no paid-for-hire arrangements.
I’m independent and have no Representatives. I’m one of the very few who could already stand on my own two feet with absolutely no assistance since my 20s, as a Standalone, before 2010.
I’m well-known for fighting off bullies and my non-religious teachings on existence / co-existence. I can translate to fit non-denominational applications and other existing belief systems, but personally exist outside any system. Tallest girl in my family, the only one who could model. Kate moss’s height. In my early 20s I’d always get wind of good jobs and clients that didn’t fit me because I don’t do catwalk or certain types of editorials, but I would always think of 1-3 models and they had a high rate of getting the job because they fit the bill and I’d also clue them in (chichi door host profiling skills, occupational hazard), so I got roped in a lot for gigs later in life. Once I got cast as a local supermodel as good friends when I was past my shelf life, and I only put the two and two together a few years ago so I guess it shows I’m slow on some things like everyone else (though not necessarily a bad thing..)! ;)
These people in the last years pretended I was troubled. But it’s completely untrue, they just withheld and refused my contracts because they didn’t want to pay me so they pretended I have a problem to use it as a distraction so people wouldn’t listen to what I was saying when I tried to alert others/mobilize people and lawyers to push back etc. They wanted everything to go to themselves, for nothing, and they wanted control - it was just a problem with them. They just disbelieve that they have to pay anybody or sit down and make contracts like everyone does in my last 23+ years of professional experience (I started young and was always a star performer, always chosen), like everyone should give them their work and labour for free while they get away with it by arranging for nobodies to get “lucky” out of spite/contempt (they actually did this with me, and they freaked out and tried to back out of it when they realized their nobody is a somebody and ex-Varsity champ who knows how work is done and how money is made). They were and are using my works and material in a way that’s definitely something I’ve repeatedly pushed to be properly included on and it was arranged such that I could only wait and it was impossible to hire a lawyer. None of them even want or had to do any work or negotiate, they just ran some old recycled program structure dressed up to look like your material to override you which cost them nothing even in effort, and deliberately put you on contracts which prove they never intended to pay you or negotiate and already arranged it before you stepped in. Their costs are phony charges, ballooned several times using faulty admin that they create and refuse corrections on and they exhaust you getting you to chase up on their problems. And they refuse to even pay out your allowances from your own funds and disrupt your finances when you press for it - we’re not even talking about being paid for your actual work and material yet! That’s what it is - these are their problems and they just try to bill you for it by forcing you to sacrifice your priceless works and time because they refuse to let you go as if you signed a government bond, while having no contract. I have absolutwly no addictions, no issues showing up and no issues representing myself. I’m actually one of the few people who can stand on my own two feet and show up and impress.
I’ve never been disabled or bedridden. I have full mobility. The only reason I appeared to stay in one place without moving is because Swiss authorities administratively registered me as a man before I arrived in the country. Since I’m a feminine woman they used it as an excuse to register me as a different person. So my original misgendered identity appeared to be completely immobile and not moving, with no activity clocked at all, since arrival. I only discovered its existence when I did my own investigations the year I managed to move out of my residence. It was made impossible to do so before due to abuse of trust and information withholding by Swiss Authorities and teams of professionals - I was not even given a proper ID, which prevented me from hiring, taking up my own studio, making contracts or even registering my movements as a legal person despite having an approved invite. As I’m from a First World country myself and and also grew up exclusively in First World countries, this was all completely unheard of especially to find in Switzerland which calls houses the Human Rights headquarters of the world. This was all used to stop me from being believed, and from moving away. They were able to arrange whatever they wanted, regardless of whether or not I was going along with it or what I was actually doing which proved I was always exercising my choice — it was just being completely denied and all of these people were absolutely certain that they would never be held to account — these regional bank managers who were helping the perpetators disrupt my finances whenever I used it for something that I wanted, were on the phone telling me not to bother hiring a lawyer in Switzerland because they would “all just take the money and do nothing”. And they were right!
Why are these people even allowed to call themselves Leaders, and hold their seats of authority as the top crust, who get to have the final say on whether a person gets access to their basic rights or not, when they are doing absolutely nothing but holding the rest of the world back — including holding back the best of us who are the best by proven merit and not just birth? And they do this, without even having to get to know any of us,or even to meet their own standards which they claim to be qualified to preach or impose on the world.
Every time I’ve left my sphere and gone at it alone, I do and have done really well. I excel beyond what others seem to want for me or believe is possible (perhaps they think it’s the only way I will stay), get noticed and meet the kinds of people who want to see me succeed, we support each others’ success. Every time others join or I let them they pull me down without exception. The results are dismal, and I get left with the blame while others benefit seemingly at my expense. It’s only worked when they’re the mavericks who also stay apart and join nothing. I know what to do, but need to figure out ways to do it. It has to be in AI-free places without incestuous projects environments, achieve minimum momentum in 6 months, have visible lift within a year and results. I couldn’t even hire most Asians even if I genuinely wanted to, those societies get them to blindly leak info and they just kill you/your project to redistribute them into mediocrity, copy things to death, like they did with my material. And they spend money to pretend the person they did it to has a problem.
It’s like one story that got featured on a Youtube documentary about the dark web - where a man who made a living as a doctor curing the opposite sex, paid someone on the dark web to force his partner to unknowingly become addicted to the very drugs he made a living allegedly curing others of, so he could arrange to say he was taking care of the partner. The only difference is that I have no addictions, but I have a natural recovery rate which although above average still requires time and removal from the cause of harm. So what happened was that people had trouble believing that so much damage was being inflicted on me in another 1st world country, while I was being held hostage in a way which forced me to stay in one place administratively so there could be no break or removal of myself possible, that it’s prevented a normal recovery — until I could gather enough *independent* evidence to take recent basic steps to start to fight back against these people who are trying to pretend I have a problem when they just want me without paying me, use force to do so, and arrange it so that the encounter is mandatory and there’s no choice to sidestep it.
I speak non-ESL English (Cambridge, UK). Close to RP, can adapt to Aussie.
I look nothing like an English native-speaker, studied/lived in Australia not the UK, have skillsets/traits normally considered impossible or at least unlikely (funny at best) to find together in one person. I compose originals in any language up and down the linguistic family trees, all levels of precision aligned, with musical/aural components.
I was from a top girls’ school in Singapore (Nanyang Girls High) where I qualified into a gifted program for Art with the year’s highest entrance score (a tie). Among the areas tested were Still life and life drawings. At around age 13 or 14, I received a Distinction certificate for English at the University level (UNSW). At age 14 I co-wrote and edited family legal letters that succeeded in securing my family dates in Singapore appeals court. My original creative English language essays earned multiple recommendations to a higher gifted program but the school neglected to arrange it as art/English literature was not valued (considered foreign). While there were others more technically sound, my originality and early philosophical discourse shone through like a fresnel beam from a child’s messy scrawlings (I only submitted my works during Cambridge English exam and term exam/test settings where it was impossible to be accused of cheating. Furthermore they used a special regional paper that prevented pages from being swapped out. I stopped handing in homework after I got sick of being told my work must have been done by adults, or was allegedly otherwise not mine, so I stuck to things where it was impossible to be accused of foul play). My sound design in English theatre was cited by judges as a tiebreaker for a Gold group win during a 1997 National school competition, but I was involved in all areas including supporting roles in acting, costume/poster/set design, and so on. I’d often have class projects dumped at my feet when others turned up their noses at it for not counting towards their grades, once I filled the warehouse-sized walls with inked unicorns on either side of the whiteboard,, larger than thoroughbreds (originally pegasus, but had no time to do the wings), and no one even bat an eyelid or said a peep, save for the girl who had been tasked to find someone who’d hold the bag. I was bluntly told I had no future as my line of work would never let me earn money, that I should study something that would “make money”, and, I quote, “artists only get rich after they die”. I was more angry that my works kept being thrown out or removed from my home, and I never went to Switzerland only to be forced to repeat what I’d already overcome with authorities doing nothing (mostly assuming I was a dunce, this only seems to happen when there’s someone poisoning the environment). It tried to kill my independence, stop me from providing for myself and force me to become unnaturally tied down, so I fought back, said no and cut them loose no matter how I was being blackmailed. I refuse to sell out. What I have is priceless. No one and no group can pretend I’m AI or that anyone else made me, to force me to sell out or absorb what I have as if I’m a dead estate. I’ve had a long consistent track record of being welcome everywhere I go and able to create options for myself, and there are always people who want to see me succeed. I was already on Varsity teams for English debate and English Theatre, but not sports although I was a 3-time Junior Gold, Silver & Bronze medalist for Track & Field (upper body) for consecutive years in Nanyang Primary. I placed in other global competitions in 2002, and was the world champion several times from 2013-2015 in something that was the first of its kind. In my life and most things, I’ve always been somewhat ahead of the curve, ahead of the pack, and a little ahead of my time — just like my maternal grandmother and grandfather, and just like my maternal great granddad. But that also means, there’s often nothing there. I’m there sowing the seeds and laying the groundwork, but what I don’t understand is how people can expect me to give them my work for free.
As a moderate, I’m unswayed by any and all forms of extremism, and easily see through these bids to affect everyone’s ability to be neutral for their own petty gains, pretending to be associated with causes none of them really believe in, to push people towards misinformed actions.
I originally majored in Fashion but graduated 10 years later from Accounting & Business. My professional career has spanned multiple industries and roles including Big tech/top telco, modelling/entertainment and top-achieving boutique hospitality teams, sometimes overlapping one another but forming one uninterrupted line, before I was able to finally make my way back to what I’d wanted to do all along. In 2026 I’m still just as determined to open my 3rd studio and continue from where I left off (forced to). For that, they called me crazy. Bearing in mind, that many of these same detractors have seen my works come out in the places they have in the past years, and still double down like they’re right. Well, apology accepted.
There is something wrong with the setup in Singapore.
I am looking into my options, and leaving asap.
On it.
I’m a Master Communicator who translates and transliterates between any school of thought/belief, social class and bracket, across cultures & the linguistic family trees with precision — between the highest, the lowest, all in between, accurate in symbolism and time, across still/moving images, words, music - and I crystallize it in ways Universally understood: Symbols and narratives can be mimicked, but never faked. I’m a Dreamwalker, who finds that inner blueprint in each of us, and draws out the parts of you which you have disconnected from, cut off and/or forgotten, find the closest points of conjunction, and together we build the bridges that lead to where you need to go, to find your own meaning/narratives and who you are meant to be in this lifetime (if you so choose). I set people on their vibrational matched path to their next stage, regardless of race, religion, background or belief system. I restore access/harmony where possible. Together we connect with your linguistic/vibrational family tree and find the questions and answers together, as layered stories that anyone can understand given time. My all-sensory, multi-dimensional works remind us each of who we are and what we dreamed of for ourselves before arriving. So that we know where to go next. I have helped those with unusual, little-known or complex backgrounds and/or dispositions achieve successful results. I can also work with groups of strangers, with certain conditions met. However my specialty is large scale, the larger and less homogenous the array the better, and I need to be correctly positioned to align your long shots. There’s no replacing me with AI.
My 2016 Zinemaking workshop held at the Substation/.SingLitStation demonstrates the above as Quantum Consciousness requiring the right Leader, instant understanding amongst all with no tutelage or micromanagement / interference required - a first group demonstration and Live Art Installation. More on that below.
Regardless of where you’re at in life at any given point, the only real constant is that one same person you have to live with and face in your moments alone - 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. I refuse to take on their bitterness. I will stay open and show up for myself in a way that makes me proud with the satisfaction that I’ve done what’s right for me. 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.
