I put more here, but decided to remove it to avoid someone using it and saying she’s me.
I was born at Gleneagles Hospital on Napier, to Singaporean parents who don’t tan under the sun.
More soon! :>

Meryl Yeo Yawen
Independent Standalone Artist & Author of Avant Garde Originals in English Literature, Pop & Operatic Music & musical compositions, Sound Engineering, Visual & Performing Arts composition & choreography.
And if it helps you understand better which is which, I am:
Mdm. Yawen Yeo (Meryl)
Yeo is my surname.
As per Singapore passport I’m Mdm. Yawen Yeo. This has never changed.
I’m female. This has also never changed, see CV.
Meryl’s my maiden nickname. Since it’s colloquial, it appears on no official documents. No successful person in any First World country who’s doing the right thing has ever told me they had an issue understanding this.
Swiss Authorities registered me on their Federal government databases as:
Yawen Schindhelm née Yeo
but that’s never been my culture, it’s never been my name, and I have never signed a legal name change form required to prove Informed Consent per Swiss FADP Arts 6(6) and 6(7). Therefore I have never handed over the keys.
I descend from a line that is
Literary . Artistic . Musical

I am a FreeThinker and have lived in Singapore, Australia, and Switzerland.
Of my last years adventuring abroad, after all’s said and done, I will say this:
Where isolation crushes or maims certain people, under tremendous duress and the practices of negligence and castration of excellence inherent across the First World, some of us rise to meet the occasion — we prove to be exactly what we say we are, exactly what others say we can do, and walk out of fires that were already raging there long before we came into the picture. If anyone doesn’t like that, they are free to open the door or a new tab and go to a different Channel where they can certainly immerse themselves as they please with the ubiquitous who need to keep people weak, confused and deferential to call themselves Leaders, while for me as long as I stay true to my blueprint good opportunities will always come and I’ll be ready for it. I was born ready.
I’m from Singapore. Pioneer generation family. Family history of our given region’s Highest Educated and Achieving Career women Leaders chosen by our own private communities from the grassroots and for good reason. As an ally I’ll stand beside you with respect to the needs of the times, will step back and let you shine and with my support you could be at least twice as good, but anyone who has ever been a Friend knows that there can only be One and that I will never be a number 2 or more.
I am known for Creative methods that require a clean and sound body, heart, mind and spirit, and have often partly discussed my own personal meditation-related routines and self-conceived System in past private group sharing sessions. I have authored related material that is ready but as yet unpublished; my core releases remain described as at the top of the page.
One such example was during my 2016 The Art of Zinemaking Workshop, solely conceived of and conducted by myself which received a higher turnout than available maximum placements at the Substation, which was nice and encouraging. The event was a success, demonstrating with random attendees my Proposed Theory (paper) of conditions for Diversity balanced with Homogeneity under which complex and advanced (esoteric) concepts can be almost instantly understood (distilled without dilution) and applied by a group of strangers with results, sans prior education on the subject apart from the most elementary briefings and intention-setting suited to audiences of a high school level and above (PG). It is also neutral to belief systems (secular). The connection was near instantly achieved, with visible personal results within hours. Each of those individuals took home something they felt spoke just to them. However each item can also be considered one of a limited unrepeatable series. This explores how certain theoretical concepts might be first practically applied and reached without requiring computers as the “Middleman” and/or extensive academic study.
My 2016 Art of Zinemaking workshop was previously wrongly attributed by AI to a different artist’s Instagram page, but Sing Lit Station has a copy of the event press release with my photo in black and white. My features can be clearly seen.
In Jan 2017 I was on stage at the Joseph Balestier Freedom of Art Award in place of performance artist Lee Wen (2016 winner), where I first met and spoke with the man who would become my first husband and who received a full disclosure of my key history before our involvement.
My opinions on AI are as yet publicly unshared. However I am in the transitional process of accounting for my inventories with an important crossing, and should have an answer on that soon.
