<title>Q&A for me</title>
|

<link href="http://tilde.town/~rogbeer/2020/04/05/sunny-morning/"/>
|

<updated>2020-04-05T00:00:00+00:00</updated>
|
||||
<id>http://tilde.town/2020/04/05/sunny-morning</id>
|
||||
<content type="html"><p>I love reading interviews. Whether it is an interview of Kevin Ma, founder
|
||||
of the magazine known as Hypebeast, or <a href="https://sivers.org/2015-12-ferriss">an interview of Derek Sivers</a>, entrepreneur
|
||||
who reportedly said No to selling his business for millions of dollars,
|
||||
I get to find out a bit more about these people.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>So, one day, I thought, how about I interview myself? Then others can find
|
||||
out more about me. [chuckles].</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>But… what would I ever ask myself?</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Thankfully, I found some questions that were addressed to the public, on
|
||||
the social-network web-site known as LinkedIn, and guess what, I answered them!</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>And now, I collect my answers to those questions, in this blog-post! Ta-dah!
|
||||
I have an interview… of myself! (Although others asked those questions).</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>[clears throat]. Let’s start the interview!</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p><strong>How are you challenging yourself in 2020? - Elisha</strong></p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>My challenge for myself so far, in 2020, is to balance my time on social media - or, more broadly speaking, my time on an electronic computing device - with my time off the Internet. It would be interesting to see how I can do this in the light of a trend towards webinar(s) and work-from-home, set against a background of virus-news, virus-concerns, virus-fretting, virus-worrying and virus-scares.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p><strong>What has been one project or assignment in which you broke the rules and had fun in the creative process? - Joseph</strong></p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>I once took an undergraduate-course on Composing Music in the Classical Style (for example, in the style of Mozart). For an assignment in that course, I wrote a musical work that appears to be thoroughly twentieth-century, instead of looking eighteenth-century. My course-instructor did not accept my work, but I still had fun. (I’ve realised the importance of surrounding myself with people who value creativity and innovation - which is not everyone, and I certainly don’t really appreciate flattery and/or smooth talk, either).</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p><strong>Tell me what is your oops-boo-hoo moment this week, and what you learnt from it. - Phing</strong></p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>An “oops-boo-hoo” of mine, as you call it? I run a blog where I post photos from my trips to art-galleries in Sg. Art-hunting, if you will. But I got a
|
||||
little lost; something didn’t feel right (about such blogging) anymore. I
|
||||
asked the person known, on LinkedIn.com , as Alin Sneha Abraham, for her perspective on the matter; I said I wasn’t sure if my blogging was adding value to the world. Alin said something to the effect that it is more important that I enjoy myself; that way, at least one person benefits. So my oops-boo-hoo was to overlook my own enjoyment of the activity in question. I concluded that I liked visiting galleries, but posting photos on social media? Not so much.</p>

<title>A challenge I face in pursuing excellence</title>
|

<link href="http://tilde.town/~rogbeer/2020/03/24/very-late-afternoon/"/>

<updated>2020-03-24T00:00:00+00:00</updated>
|

<id>http://tilde.town/2020/03/24/very-late-afternoon</id>
|
||||
<content type="html"><p>A challenge I face in pursuing excellence is… <em>[drum roll]</em>… finding others who pursue excellence.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Okay, maybe that wasn’t such a surprising revelation. As the saying goes, “As iron sharpens iron, so one man another”.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>For me, it is not satisfactory enough to look to my contemporaries - I have looked centuries back, hoping to appreciate greatness.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Without further ado, I share a list - off the top of my head - of works I look up to:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>In Classical Music,</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>Beethoven’s Cello Sonata, Op. 102</li>
|
||||
<li>Schubert’s Winterreise</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>In opera,</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>Bartók’s “Duke Bluebeard’s Castle”</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>In Russian literature,</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>Alexander Pushkin’s novel in verse, “Eugene Onegin”</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>In children’s literature,</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>Tolkien’s “The Hobbit”</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Others:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>a fairly modern film, Wong Kar-Wai’s “In the mood for love”</li>
|
||||
<li>A song by The Beatles, “Come together”</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>In concluding, I note that if I have a small, puny mind, the world I see is a small, puny world. I wish for a mind that can see greatness in even the smallest thing - eyes that can see beauty and wonder.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>For example, can I learn, from a dog, how to be happy, while being held on a leash? Or, from a cat, how to meditate?</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>I close with a quote from the classic tale, “The little prince”:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<blockquote>
|
||||
<p>“It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye.”</p>
|
||||

<title>A brief analysis of the artistic merit of videos made by Peeping Toms/voyeurs</title>
|
||||
<link href="http://tilde.town/~rogbeer/2020/03/12/sunny-morning/"/>
|
||||
<updated>2020-03-12T00:00:00+00:00</updated>
|
||||
<id>http://tilde.town/2020/03/12/sunny-morning</id>
|
||||
<content type="html"><p>Maybe in the past it was more artistic (and consensual between
|
||||
photographer/cameraman and subject)</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>I refer to Brassaï ‘s 1931 photo, “A suit for two in the magic city”, which
|
||||
features some extent of (the suggestion of) male nudity.
|
||||
in it,
|
||||
clearly there are homosexual themes
|
||||
and there is some expression of
|
||||
intimacy as well</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Nowadays, if I were to
|
||||
use a popular expression, people are “going from bad to worse”</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>And Peeping Toms/voyeurs who arrive later in history, in their “artistic work” - if it could be so termed - seem to demonstrate a clear lack of what the writer Edgar Allan Poe calls the Poetic Principle: their works do not “elevate the soul”, as a poetic work should</p>

<title>An opera; International Women's Day</title>
|

<link href="http://tilde.town/~rogbeer/2020/03/09/evening/"/>
|

<updated>2020-03-09T00:00:00+00:00</updated>
|
||||
<id>http://tilde.town/2020/03/09/evening</id>
|
||||
<content type="html"><p>Somewhat belatedly, on the occasion of Women’s Day - it is refreshing for me to encounter, in literature, a wife saving her husband in distress (instead of the other way round).</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>I’m referring to Beethoven’s only completed opera, “Fidelio”.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Fidelio is the alias of a character named Leonore, who gets employed by the jailer, Rocco - and even cross-dresses as a man - so that she can gain access to the inner-most section of the jail; she wants to see if her husband, Florestan, is indeed imprisoned there.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>I think I’ve revealed enough about the plot, so I’ll stop relating the details here.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Let me end with the (German) words from the finale of the opera:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<blockquote>
|
||||
<p>“Nie wird es zu hoch besungen, Retterin des Gatten sein.” (Never can we over-praise a wife who saves her husband.) Translator: Lionel Salter.</p>
|
||||
</blockquote>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Details for lovers of classical music: I listened to a 1995 recording, featuring Nikolaus Harnoncourt as conductor, and Chamber Orchestra of Europe.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>I believe well-deserved honour goes to National Library Board (of Singapore)
|
||||
for stocking both CD and CD-player at the public library known as
|
||||
Library@Esplanade .</p>

|

<content type="html"><p>Reading a book by David Ulrich, “Zen camera: creative awakening with a daily practice in photography”.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Found words (or the vocabulary) to describe what I spend a significant amount of energy on nowadays: creating the necessary conditions for “the arrival of the muse… - what artists call inspiration and many call the ‘aha’ moment […] the creative intelligence occurring when the artist or seeker is open, taking place through the cracks of the ordinary, rational brain”. (Page 94).</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Here I share a photo (I have) taken on 26th December, around the time of a supposed eclipse. It draws me somehow… I stay open to where it calls me.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>As Ulrich says (on Page 88), the famous figure in spirituality, Rumi, has a quote/poem:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<blockquote>
|
||||
<p>“Let yourself be silently drawn by the strange pull of what you really love. It will not lead you astray “</p>

<content type="html"><p>Just to share, I’ve recently heard of at least two artists who make their works accessible to the public without involving a gallery or a dealer.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<ol>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
<p>William Powhida invites the public to be his Friend; the perks of being such a Friend include free (as in gratis) ownership of his artwork, if you have taken care of it (at your place) for five years.

<p>Tsuyumi Miwa is having an exhibition at Maduro Jazz Club, Singapore ( http://www.maduro.sg/ ) . Tsuyumi says her paintings will be on sale, at a lower price than usual, because there is no “gallery commission fee”.</p>
|

</li>
|

</ol>
|
||||
|
||||
<ul>
|

<li>Time: 6.30 PM onwards , on 24th April</li>
|

<li>Price of a ticket: SGD$25</li>
|

<li>Tsuyumi is contactable at her web-site,

( http://www.heymiwa.com/ )</li>

</ul>
|

<p>What’s in the price of a ticket? Her friend, the composer-singer-actor James Flynn ( http://www.flynnjazz.com/ ) has composed songs that interpret Tsuyumi’s paintings , which he is scheduled to perform, with his trio, on the evening of Tsuyumi’s exhibition.

<title>Pay-off(s) of my little investment of sorts: attending a talk</title>

<id>http://tilde.town/2020/02/28/sunny-enough</id>
|
||||
<content type="html"><p>I feel rewarded for getting up earlier than usual today -
|
||||
<a href="https://www.hnworth.com/article/truths/life/why-i-started-stage-6-a-conscious-co-living-space/">Helena Wasserman Eriksson</a>
|
||||
‘s talk was scheduled for 8.30 AM.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p><a href="https://creativemornings.com/talks/helena-wasserman-eriksson-on-invest">Her talk</a>,
|
||||
on the topic “Invest”, began with questions for the audience. Then: “I want you to think how you have invested in yourself, and the great feeling you had when you did that. Then take 5 minutes to share it with your neighbour.”</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>If I think about it now, attending her talk was an investment in myself, too. And I think this investment has paid off already - at the talk’s venue, I met people, who not only seemed to share similar interests with me, but also seem to be better than myself at it. For example,</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/eugeneseancheng/">Eugene Cheng</a> has done photography at weddings, something I haven’t done (yet), but it’s something which Eugene asserts will provide lots of opportunities to develop photographic skills</li>
|
||||
<li>Tsuyumi Miwa ‘s name-cards feature her paintings on the reverse side - an idea I can consider if I do start making name-cards for my artistic practice. (Tsuyumi-san’s website: http://heymiwa.com/ )</li>
|
||||
<li>I met someone who talked about one’s posture, in relation to pain in one’s knees, while running. Now I am thinking about whether my posture, while I use my laptop, is the best for my body.</li>
|

</ul>
|

<title>Just watched a recording of Tim Brown 's TED talk, "Tales of creativity and play"</title>
|
||||
<link href="http://tilde.town/~rogbeer/2020/02/28/nearly-sunset/"/>
|
||||
<updated>2020-02-28T00:00:00+00:00</updated>
|
||||
<id>http://tilde.town/2020/02/28/nearly-sunset</id>
|
||||
<content type="html"><p>I was at a screening that is open to the public, at the co-working space The Hive (Facebook: https://facebook.com/thehivecarpenter/ )</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>In his talk, Mr. Brown highlighted a number of exercises/techniques, that designers use, and which are modelled on, or inspired by, how little children play:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<ol>
|
||||
<li>The technique called “thinking with your hands”. Its analogue among children is so-called “construction play”, such as building towers from little blocks, knocking the towers down, and building them again, over and over. An example of this technique, among designers, is building prototypes of an idea quickly, even if the prototype looks like a crude hotch-potch of everyday objects: plasticine, small bottles of deodorant, and so on.</li>
|
||||
<li>Role play. How children role-play need not be elaborated, I believe: playing House, playing Tea-time, and so on. From what Mr. Brown says, designers can use role play to switch perspective(s) from the designer (of a service) to the user (of that service).</li>
|
||||
</ol>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>It seems worth mentioning that Mr. Brown said that play is not anarchy. Play has rules. For example, if little children play Cops &amp; Robbers, they are acting out a socially agreed script.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Definitely interesting to think about - for me, at least. I hope it’s interesting for you, too.</p>

<id>http://tilde.town/2020/02/26/bright-morning</id>
|
||||
<content type="html"><p>Years ago, I read a book by <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/steven-d-souza-5351712/">Steven D’Souza</a>
|
||||
and <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/diana-renner-24895232/">Diana Renner</a>, titled
|
||||
“Not knowing: The art of turning uncertainty into opportunity”.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>If you want to know more about that book, you can check out its page on
|
||||
Goodreads.com (because the rest of this post is not going to talk much about that book) :</p>

<p><a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/18210266-not-knowing">https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/18210266-not-knowing</a></p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>After reading the book, I was inspired to write a blog-post, which, generally speaking,
|
||||
was about the impact that the book had on me.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>So, fast-forward three years: Steven, who, as you recall, is co-author of the above-mentioned book,
|
||||
leaves a comment on my blog:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<blockquote>
|
||||
<p>Thank you for sharing the impact of our book on you Pheng Heong.
|
||||
Your writing is honest and eloquent. Steven</p>
|
||||
</blockquote>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>And I probably have a fan-boy moment: who is Steven in the world, and I - who am I kidding - who am I
|
||||
in the world? <em>that</em> Steven is talking to <em>this</em> me?</p>
|
||||
|

<p>But if I view Steven and I as fellow travellers into the unknown, maybe he and I are
|
||||
not that different from each other. Steven (and Diana, his co-author) may have more experience
|
||||
in life than me, but they highlight, in their book, that they do not want to be seen
|
||||
as experts about the unknown - if anything, they encourage one to explore the unknown for oneself.
|
||||
My role, then, is clear: if Steven and Diana are offering wisdom about such an adventure,
|
||||
so to speak, then I can be, and I am, happy to receive that wisdom. (despite the discomfort,
|
||||
and even dread, that encountering the unknown often engenders in me).</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>It may be that I have my individual, unique, experience of the unknown to undergo,
|
||||
but I am happy to have the wisdom that Steven and Diana have distilled, via their book,
|
||||
to bear in mind, all the while.</p>

<title>how to say 'good'</title>
|

<link href="http://tilde.town/~rogbeer/2020/02/13/sunny/"/>

<id>http://tilde.town/2020/02/13/sunny</id>
|
||||
<content type="html"><p>A certain Homeless Kodo has said, “we only say something is good when
|
||||
it goes our way”, or something to that effect. I quote,</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<blockquote>
|
||||
<p>Sooner or later everyone starts thinking of nothing besides themselves. You say, “That was good!” But what was good? It was only good for you personally, that’s all.</p>
|
||||
</blockquote>

<p>Source: <a href="https://antaiji.org/en/services/kodo-to-you/">https://antaiji.org/en/services/kodo-to-you/</a></p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Be that as it may, I take pleasure and interest in the different ways I can say
|
||||
something is good, whether it is good for me, or for someone else, or whatever.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>So, I make the following list, based on words currently in my vocabulary:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<ol>
|
||||
<li>excellent</li>
|
||||
<li>nice</li>
|
||||
<li>super</li>
|
||||
<li>amazing</li>
|
||||
<li>awesome</li>
|
||||
<li>great</li>
|
||||
<li>perfect</li>
|
||||
<li>棒(a Chinese word)</li>
|
||||
<li><em>baik</em> (a word in Bahasa Indonesia and Bahasa Melayu, pronouced like baa-eggk)</li>
|
||||
<li><em>pona</em> (a word in the constructed language Toki Pona, which has no native speakers)</li>
|
||||
<li>pleasant</li>
|
||||
<li>赞(a word that seemed to have been used in Taiwan in the modern past
|
||||
(about 1.5 decades ago?); maybe it isn’t used
|
||||
so much nowadays anymore?)</li>
|
||||
<li>miraculous</li>
|
||||
<li>fabulous</li>
|
||||
<li>nice - oops, I mentioned “nice” already.</li>
|
||||
<li>fun - I seldom use this word, but I’ve heard others use them within my ear-shot</li>
|
||||
<li>majestic - usually I use this word to describe God and God’s works</li>
|
||||
</ol>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>That’s it. I’ve heard a Spanish version of “miraculous” and “fabulous” before, but
|
||||
because I seldom use those Spanish words, I omit it from my above list.</p>

<title>A chat about ethics and technology, with Mr. Sebastian Müeller</title>
|
||||
<link href="http://tilde.town/~rogbeer/2020/01/06/sunny/"/>
|
||||
<updated>2020-01-06T00:00:00+00:00</updated>
|
||||
<id>http://tilde.town/2020/01/06/sunny</id>
|
||||
<content type="html"><p>On 12 December 2019, during the afternoon, Sebastian and I met at the
|
||||
Singapore office of Minglabs, an organisation in which Sebastian is
|
||||
Co-founder and COO. Let me briefly recall the approximately
|
||||
one-hour-long chat, using a format of
|
||||
Question-and-Answer (Q&amp;A) below - I asked most of the questions, as I recall.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p><em>Q: “Why are you interested in ethics?”</em></p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>A: “I do not have [an academic] background in ethics or philosophy. I studied Computer Science in Germany. My thinking changed after I had a son - he is three years old now - and I have done much more reading since.”</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p><em>Q: “I don’t mean to offend you personally, but if we talk about ethics, there is the danger of being a hypocrite, that is, saying one thing and doing another. How do you ensure you are not a hypocrite?”</em></p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>A: “Humans are fallible. If someone says something, and does what he says - if he walks the talk - he is an angel. [Having said that,] I try to be better today than I was yesterday.”</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p><em>Q: “About Andrew Yang… [in the U.S., who proposed a Department of the Attention Economy]”</em></p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>A: “Algorithm Oversight. Right now, there is a gap: the regulation-authorities have to figure out what is happening in these algorithms. It takes time to come up with regulations, and meanwhile, technology keeps moving on and on and on. They have to be paid well, because they are the best of the best of the best [that is, those who are, or might be, recruited, into The Government, to regulate algorithms that are used in software]. This is one area that I think Singapore does well in: the ministers are well-paid. In the U.S. or in Europe, working in The Government means taking a pay-cut.”</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p><em>Q: “You mentioned reading. What are some of those books?”</em></p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>A: “I’ll email you after our chat.” [Later, Sebastian emails hyperlinks:]</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<ol>
|
||||
<li>Cathy O’Neil. (2016). “Weapons of Math Destruction: How Big Data increases inequality and threatens democracy”.
|
||||
<a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/28186015-weapons-of-math-destruction">https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/28186015-weapons-of-math-destruction</a></li>
|
||||
<li>Brad Smith. (2019). “Tools and weapons: The promise and the peril of the Digital Age”.
|
||||
<a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/44334073-tools-and-weapons">https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/44334073-tools-and-weapons</a></li>
|
||||
<li>Yancey Strickler. (2019). “This could be our future: A manifesto for a more generous world”.
|
||||
<a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/44525559-this-could-be-our-future">https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/44525559-this-could-be-our-future</a></li>
|
||||
<li>Tim O’Reilly. (2017). “WTF?: What’s The Future and why it’s up to us” .
|
||||
<a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/34017076-wtf">https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/34017076-wtf</a></li>
|
||||
</ol>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The Q&amp;A above represents only a portion of the entirety of my chat with Sebastian, which concluded with agreeing that (the application of) ethics in technology meant co-operation/collaboration of (highly skilled) people across various fields of expertise, or disciplines. As Sebastian puts it, “I observe; I act within my sphere of influence… [but] I cannot solve the problem on my own.”</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>However, Sebastian seems optimistic, if not hopeful: “[if I] keep repeating a message [about ethics, to the audience of my various talks], maybe the message will get in.”</p>

<title>Recipe for a (Milo-based) cocktail</title>
|
||||
<link href="http://tilde.town/~rogbeer/2019/12/17/overcast/"/>

<id>http://tilde.town/2019/12/17/overcast</id>
|
||||
<content type="html"><p>I got this recipe from a bartender at <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pg/barstories.sg/">Bar Stories</a>
|
||||
, located on the island of
|
||||
Singapore.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>It is based on Milo, a non-alcoholic beverage which is kinda based on malt.
|
||||
(I am aware, from anecdotal evidence, that Milo is popular, if not well-known,
|
||||
in at least the South-east Asian countries of Malaysia and Singapore).</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>I didn’t manage to get the name for this cocktail. Nonetheless, the ingredients:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<ol>
|
||||
<li>Egg white x 1</li>
|
||||
<li>Milo, as in the drink, not the powder x 2 oz</li>
|
||||
<li>Butter-scotch, the liqueur x 0.25 oz</li>
|
||||
<li>Dark-chocolate liqueur x 0.5 oz</li>
|
||||
<li>Dark-chocolate bitters x 3 dashes</li>
|
||||
<li>Black Cow vodka (for a creamy taste) x 1.5 oz</li>

<title>My Lineage of Inspiration</title>

|

<id>http://tilde.town/2019/03/29/sunset</id>
|
||||
<content type="html"><p>I’m working on a career-development course right now, titled ‘Work That
|
||||
Matters’. It’s by Maia Duerr, and in this blog post, I am going to
|
||||
make what Maia calls a Lineage of Inspiration.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Maia herself elaborates on her Lineage of Inspiration at the Internet-address
|
||||
<a href="http://maiaduerr.com/lineage-and-liberation-2/">http://maiaduerr.com/lineage-and-liberation-2/</a>.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>She writes:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<blockquote>
|
||||
<p>So as way of creating my own personal lineage chart, I want to name some of those people who made a huge impact on me and to whom I feel enormous gratitude. I’m sharing this list as a way for you to get to know me better and it’s also an invitation for you to do the same. It’s a huge gift to realize that our lineage is linked to our liberation. We don’t have to do it alone. There is no way we possibly could do it on our own.</p>
|
||||
</blockquote>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The following is the prompt I am working with, which I reproduce from the afore-mentioned
|
||||
Internet address. ‘Who’s in your personal lineage? Who are the people who have guided you to more freedom in your life, and what gifts have you received from them?’</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<ol>
|
||||
<li><strong>Masafumi Itokazu (“Matchi”)</strong>.
|
||||
Matchi has <a href="https://www.couchsurfing.com/people/masafumi-matchi-itokazu?action=show&amp;controller=user_profiles">a profile on Couchsurfing.com</a>.
|
||||
He was my room-mate in the autumn of the year 2013 A.D.,
|
||||
at a dormitory on the campus of National Taiwan University, until he left
|
||||
our shared room -
|
||||
rather abruptly, I thought - some-time during the wet winter of the same year.
|
||||
He was a sharp dresser, I think. I’ve received the gift of encouragement,
|
||||
unspoken or otherwise, to dress myself as boldly as I would like. A gift
|
||||
of confidence, in other words - perhaps. Now I dress as I dare
|
||||
(or so I would like to think).</li>
|
||||
<li><strong>Chris Jensen</strong>.
|
||||
Chris has <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/christopherjamesjensen/">a profile on LinkedIn</a>.
|
||||
Chris was my supervisor during my internship at his (now-defunct, I guess)
|
||||
start-up Good For Us. At the point in time that I met him,
|
||||
I was somewhat in the earlier part of what could be
|
||||
conventionally called
|
||||
College Education. I had little to no awareness of inner life or spiritual life,
|
||||
I think, at that time. Chris did not seem afraid to mandate a practice
|
||||
of recalling A Few Things That You’re Grateful For, during lunches together.
|
||||
Chris also extended an invitation for me to visit him during
|
||||
his work at the non-profit organisation <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groundupinitiative/">Ground-up Initative (G.U.I.)</a>.
|
||||
Exposure to Nature that seemed a little less domesticated (at G.U.I.),
|
||||
and the beginnings
|
||||
of a practice of gratitude - I’ve received these gifts.</li>
|
||||
<li><strong>Emily Dickinson</strong>.
|
||||
I read that she withdrew from society, famously becoming recluse-like,
|
||||
and developed a kind of language of her own, which can, maybe, be seen in
|
||||
her now-renown poems. I’ve received encouragement to pursue a path into poetry,
|
||||
regardless of how unconventional a life I may seem to lead.</li>
|
||||
<li>A manager at my kitchen-workplace, by the name of <strong>Lily</strong> (transliterated name).
|
||||
I met her while I was a part-time cook at a budget restaurant of sorts. (I still am, for now.)
|
||||
She seemed sensitive enough to refill any sauces (or ingredients) that I’ve
|
||||
run out of, at a time when I was too busy or pre-occupied to refill those myself.
|
||||
I’ve received the gift of an example of service towards my co-workers, or perhaps
|
||||
even humankind. I can strive to emulate her sensitivity to others, I think,
|
||||
if nothing else.</li>

<title>Eateries in Singapore that are not "chains", as far as I am aware</title>

includes eateries that have branches overseas but not in Singapore.</p>

‘Returned Overseas Singaporeans in Singapore (R.O.S.S.)’

has asked. That member said that she found herself eating at the same places,

<title>Purchases, approximately at the time of Chinese New Year</title>

<id>http://tilde.town/2019/02/06/sunny</id>
|
||||
<content type="html"><p>By no design of my own, both last year (2018 A.D.) and this (2019 A.D.)
|
||||
, I’ve made purchases
|
||||
that are somewhat associated with Indonesia - and specifically, batik -
|
||||
approximately
|
||||
at the time of the respective year’s Chinese New Year.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Last year, it was a button-down shirt from Kiah’s Gallery
|
||||
<a href="https://www.facebook.com/Kiahb4tik/">
|
||||
(https://www.facebook.com/Kiahb4tik/)
|
||||
</a> - where the seller told me, “Batik is a dying art.” (she also effectively
|
||||
said, if I’m not mistaken, something like, “The batik-shirt
|
||||
chooses its owner.”) -
|
||||
and this year, a coin-pouch, from The Green Collective SG
|
||||
<a href="https://www.facebook.com/thegreencollectivesg">
|
||||
(https://www.facebook.com/thegreencollectivesg)
|
||||
</a> - maybe the designer, or maker, of the coin-pouch is from Indonesia.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Now, what do I say about Indonesia? Or about batik?</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>I just thank my god that I have the luxury of the experience of buying batik,
|
||||
while on the island of Singapore.</p>

<title>'They have certificates, but no flower!'</title>

<id>http://tilde.town/2019/02/05/bright-but-near-twilight</id>
|
||||
<content type="html"><p>The exclamation in the title of this post came from a street-busker I have met,
|
||||
a number of years ago. He was commenting on the quality of music-playing
|
||||
that came from young musicians nowadays.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>“What is ‘flower’?” I asked him.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>“Flower? Flower is this!” he replied, before launching into a song, on his
|
||||
guitar, which I couldn’t help but dance to.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>So what is flower? I couldn’t help but to want to have a more theoretical,
|
||||
or even academic, perspective on the terminology of this street-busker.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Finally, years later, with glory to my god - and thanks to Him, of course - I found a mention
|
||||
in a book called “Nine gates: Entering the mind of poetry” by Jane Hirshfield.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Hirshfield mentioned the concept of <em>hana</em> in a form of
|
||||
Japanese theatre called Nō. Supposedly, <em>hana</em> - which, interestingly enough,
|
||||
means ‘flower’ in the Japanese language - is the quality by which an actor
|
||||
can move the audience, despite being hidden behind a mask and standing motionless
|
||||
on stage. Supposedly (according to the claims of Hirshfield, who in turn
|
||||
was quoting a practitioner or observer of Nō), <em>hana</em> can be accessed
|
||||
sometimes in youth, but in maturity, <em>hana</em>… - oh, I forget what Hirshfield
|
||||
wrote.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Perhaps this might be interesting enough for me to investigate further.</p>

<h1 class="page-title">what I'm up to now</h1>
|

<p>I’m pursuing these, just to list a few (in no particular order):</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>This is my proverbial jump onto the band-wagon of the <a href="https://nownownow.com/about">“now page”</a>,
|
||||
which <a href="https://sivers.org/now3">Mr. Derek Sivers wrote about</a>.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3 id="now">Now</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>As of the date 14th November 2018 A.D., I’m engaged in part-time employment
|
||||
in the kitchen of a restaurant of “Italian casual dining”.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>I decided to work part-time instead of full-time because I still want to
|
||||
commit to volunteering. What kind of volunteering? I am helping out with
|
||||
the administrative tasks of running a soup kitchen, of sorts, for migrant-workers
|
||||
in Singapore. I am volunteering with a non-profit organisation.
|
||||
More info <a href="http://twc2.org.sg/what-we-do/cuff-road-food-programme/">here</a></p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>What makes me want to do the above?</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>I want to please <a href="http://phtan.github.io/religion.html">my god</a>,
|
||||
so both of the efforts above are what I feel called
|
||||
to do after reading the Bible, where I can find out about what my god likes
|
||||
and doesn’t like.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>I’ve discovered that art (as in art-making) helps me process my experiences,
|
||||
including emotions and states of being, and in this direction, I’ve made
|
||||
a few paintings and put them up for sale
|
||||
(on <a href="https://tonychen.bigcartel.com">an online store</a>).</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>I want to stay tuned to the mystery behind (the impulse and/or need of)
|
||||
art-making - this means I have to maintain a position/stance of patience, and even
|
||||
surrender, to see what comes up and when it comes up.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>I entrust this matter,
|
||||
as with all matters in my life, to my god, who is good, and whose ways are
|
||||
blameless.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>More concretely, this means being aware - developing an intuition, even - for
|
||||
what feeds my art - as an aside, perhaps, this is perhaps related to the
|
||||
somewhat unsavoury character that has been attributed to artists in general,
|
||||
such as Hesse’s portrayal of an artist-womaniser in the fictional story
|
||||
of
|
||||
<a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5954.Narcissus_and_Goldmund">‘Narcissus and Goldmund’</a> -
|
||||
and giving myself permission to pursue it/those,
|
||||
whatever it/they may be.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Somewhat related to my paintings are a visual journal that I am maintaining
|
||||
(and hosting <a href="https://trust-in-jehovah.tumblr.com">on Tumblr</a>). It’s been
|
||||
suggested to me, by <a href="http://mira-yoon.format.com">an art-therapist</a>,

|

|
||||
<p>From what I remember, a can of beer, bought from a convenience store, costs
|
||||
more in Singapore than in Taipei, the capital-city of Taiwan, so maybe
|
||||
the price of a glass of wine is more expensive in Singapore than in Taipei, too,
|
||||
if not elsewhere.</p>
|
||||
<p>I love reading interviews. Whether it is an interview of Kevin Ma, founder
|
||||
of the magazine known as Hypebeast, or <a href="https://sivers.org/2015-12-ferriss">an interview of Derek Sivers</a>, entrepreneur
|
||||
who reportedly said No to selling his business for millions of dollars,
|
||||
I get to find out a bit more about these people.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Having said that, I have somewhat frequented the following establishments,
|
||||
during so-called ‘happy hours’; the price comes up to SGD$10 to SGD$11 for a
|
||||
glass, at the most. I list the price of a glass of wine, whether it be red or white:</p>
|
||||
<p>So, one day, I thought, how about I interview myself? Then others can find
|
||||
out more about me. [chuckles].</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>But… what would I ever ask myself?</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Thankfully, I found some questions that were addressed to the public, on
|
||||
the social-network web-site known as LinkedIn, and guess what, I answered them!</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>And now, I collect my answers to those questions, in this blog-post! Ta-dah!
|
||||
I have an interview… of myself! (Although others asked those questions).</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>[clears throat]. Let’s start the interview!</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p><strong>How are you challenging yourself in 2020? - Elisha</strong></p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>My challenge for myself so far, in 2020, is to balance my time on social media - or, more broadly speaking, my time on an electronic computing device - with my time off the Internet. It would be interesting to see how I can do this in the light of a trend towards webinar(s) and work-from-home, set against a background of virus-news, virus-concerns, virus-fretting, virus-worrying and virus-scares.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p><strong>What has been one project or assignment in which you broke the rules and had fun in the creative process? - Joseph</strong></p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>I once took an undergraduate-course on Composing Music in the Classical Style (for example, in the style of Mozart). For an assignment in that course, I wrote a musical work that appears to be thoroughly twentieth-century, instead of looking eighteenth-century. My course-instructor did not accept my work, but I still had fun. (I’ve realised the importance of surrounding myself with people who value creativity and innovation - which is not everyone, and I certainly don’t really appreciate flattery and/or smooth talk, either).</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p><strong>Tell me what is your oops-boo-hoo moment this week, and what you learnt from it. - Phing</strong></p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>An “oops-boo-hoo” of mine, as you call it? I run a blog where I post photos from my trips to art-galleries in Sg. Art-hunting, if you will. But I got a
|
||||
little lost; something didn’t feel right (about such blogging) anymore. I
|
||||
asked the person known, on LinkedIn.com , as Alin Sneha Abraham, for her perspective on the matter; I said I wasn’t sure if my blogging was adding value to the world. Alin said something to the effect that it is more important that I enjoy myself; that way, at least one person benefits. So my oops-boo-hoo was to overlook my own enjoyment of the activity in question. I concluded that I liked visiting galleries, but posting photos on social media? Not so much.</p>

|

<p>I reproduce a few quotes that I found on the web-site ‘Slow Muse:
|
||||
By Deborah Barlow’ (<a href="http://www.slowmuse.com/">http://www.slowmuse.com/</a>).</p>
|
||||
<p>A challenge I face in pursuing excellence is… <em>[drum roll]</em>… finding others who pursue excellence.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Okay, maybe that wasn’t such a surprising revelation. As the saying goes, “As iron sharpens iron, so one man another”.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>For me, it is not satisfactory enough to look to my contemporaries - I have looked centuries back, hoping to appreciate greatness.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Without further ado, I share a list - off the top of my head - of works I look up to:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>In Classical Music,</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>Beethoven’s Cello Sonata, Op. 102</li>
|
||||
<li>Schubert’s Winterreise</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>In opera,</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>Bartók’s “Duke Bluebeard’s Castle”</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>In Russian literature,</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>Alexander Pushkin’s novel in verse, “Eugene Onegin”</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>In children’s literature,</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>Tolkien’s “The Hobbit”</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Others:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>a fairly modern film, Wong Kar-Wai’s “In the mood for love”</li>
|
||||
<li>A song by The Beatles, “Come together”</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>In concluding, I note that if I have a small, puny mind, the world I see is a small, puny world. I wish for a mind that can see greatness in even the smallest thing - eyes that can see beauty and wonder.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>For example, can I learn, from a dog, how to be happy, while being held on a leash? Or, from a cat, how to meditate?</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>I close with a quote from the classic tale, “The little prince”:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<blockquote>
|
||||
<p>What we need more of is slow art: art that holds time as a vase holds
|
||||
water: art that grows out of modes of perception and making whose
|
||||
skill and doggedness make you think and feel; art that isn’t merely
|
||||
sensational, that doesn’t get its message across in ten seconds, that
|
||||
isn’t falsely iconic, that hooks onto something deep-running in our
|
||||
natures. In a word, art that is the very opposite of mass media.</p>
|
||||
<p>“It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye.”</p>
|
||||
</blockquote>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>–- Robert Hughes</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<blockquote>
|
||||
<p>How to live? A life in the world or a world in the head? To be seen
|
||||
and recognized outside, or to hide and think inside? Actor or hermit?
|
||||
Which is it? She wanted both—to be inside and outside, to ponder and
|
||||
to leap.</p>
|
||||
</blockquote>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>– Siri Hustvedt, in the book ‘The Blazing World’</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<blockquote>
|
||||
<p>In order to sell art, you had to “create desire,” and “desire,” he said,
|
||||
“cannot be satisfied because then it’s no longer desire.” The thing
|
||||
that is truly wanted must always be missing. “Art dealers have
|
||||
to be magicians of hunger.”</p>
|
||||
</blockquote>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>– Siri Hustvedt, in the book ‘The Blazing World’</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<blockquote>
|
||||
<p>Artists are people driven by the tension between the desire to communicate
|
||||
and the desire to hide.</p>
|
||||
</blockquote>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>– the writer and psychoanalyst D. W. Winnicott</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<blockquote>
|
||||
<p>For most of life on the planet, being hidden is the default condition…
|
||||
visibility is a luxury. Rarely are earth-colored tones the symbols of
|
||||
opulence and royal blood. We are most comfortable being hidden
|
||||
but we yearn to be seen.</p>
|
||||
</blockquote>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>– Jane Hirschfield, in the book ‘Hiddenness, Uncertainty, Surprise: Three Generative Energies of Poetry’</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<blockquote>
|
||||
<p>Many friends have asked me when I will start writing on Slow Muse again. I am not sure how to answer that question. Between intention and action there is an indeterminate gap. Whatever it was that inspired my writing here for 12 years is now going through a transmutation of its own. I have had to be in surrender and to patiently wait for the what and the when to manifest.</p>

<time datetime="2020-03-12T00:00:00+00:00" class="post-date">12 Mar 2020</time>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>I dropped out from an undergraduate course in Computer Science (CS, for short).</p>
|
||||
<p>Maybe in the past it was more artistic (and consensual between
|
||||
photographer/cameraman and subject)</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>While I was attending CS courses, however, I learnt how to detach myself, or abstract
|
||||
myself, from technological tools, which, as a so-called ‘digital native’ may
|
||||
know, changes ever so frequently.</p>
|
||||
<p>I refer to Brassaï ‘s 1931 photo, “A suit for two in the magic city”, which
|
||||
features some extent of (the suggestion of) male nudity.
|
||||
in it,
|
||||
clearly there are homosexual themes
|
||||
and there is some expression of
|
||||
intimacy as well</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>I learnt that if I have a fundamental skill, or what
|
||||
<a href="https://www.comp.nus.edu.sg/~bleong/">(one of)</a>
|
||||
my lecturer(s)
|
||||
called ‘first principles’, I can solve a given problem, regardless of how
|
||||
seemingly foreign the problem may be.</p>
|
||||
<p>Nowadays, if I were to
|
||||
use a popular expression, people are “going from bad to worse”</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Applying this concept in another context, it could be said that if I know
|
||||
the fundamental skills in social dealings, then regardless of which country,
|
||||
or culture, I find myself in, I can thrive (and not merely survive - but
|
||||
that’s a topic for another time, perhaps).</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>That’s powerful. That’s empowering. (As the saying goes, “Give a man a fish,
|
||||
and you feed him once. Teach a man to fish, and you feed him for a life-time.”)
|
||||
And it gives one confidence. It
|
||||
certainly gives me confidence.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>But of course I credit all these lessons and benefits, or perks, to
|
||||
<a href="http://phtan.github.io/religion.html">my god</a> and his kindness and goodness.</p>
|
||||
<p>And Peeping Toms/voyeurs who arrive later in history, in their “artistic work” - if it could be so termed - seem to demonstrate a clear lack of what the writer Edgar Allan Poe calls the Poetic Principle: their works do not “elevate the soul”, as a poetic work should</p>
