<h1 class="post-title">tried out a grand piano</h1>
<time datetime="2021-12-08T00:00:00+00:00" class="post-date">08 Dec 2021</time>
<p>Today I plucked up the courage to walk into a piano showroom, and asked
if I could play on a particularly handsome grand piano.</p>
<p>“Yes, you can
try it out,” said the staff, and so I did.</p>
<p>First, I tried some
arpeggio(s). Then, a song from a contemporary movie.</p>
<p>It was a great
pleasure. The piano responded to my touch in a magical way,
demonstrating extraordinary sensitivity to even the most subtle of
nuances.</p>
<p>I looked at the staff of the showroom (a middle-aged and
confident lady), and it seemed she was enjoying the song, too.</p>
<p>I would
later enquire about the piano, and only two words remain in my memory:
“top-end” and “hand-made”. And, its logo says: Shigeru Kawai.</p>
<p>But all
too soon, it was time for me to leave (I have a limited repertoire), and
I bade my usual farewell to salespeople: “Ill think about buying it”.
(Which is true, I do think about how many years of slavery to a mean
boss I have to endure, in order to afford stuff like that).</p>
<p>But the
staff was quick to reassure me: “No obligations at all! Were happy you
came here to try our piano.”</p>
<p>Well, it was a nice experience, and I thank (a Biblical) God for that.</p>

<h1 class="post-title">I've just read about war, murder and Hitler</h1>
<time datetime="2022-06-02T00:00:00+00:00" class="post-date">02 Jun 2022</time>
<p>I have just read Kuo Pao Kuns “Keynote Address at the Southeast Asian
Theatre Seminar on War”. (In Pages 184 to 187, The Complete Works of Kuo
Pao Kun, Volume 7: Papers and Speeches).</p>
<p>He wants to know why people,
numbering in the millions, can desire the mass murder of other people.
He cannot understand why educated people, members of the intelligentsia,
in Japan, Germany and China - and elsewhere - can indulge in this
butchering of human beings.</p>
<p>Kuo Pao Kun is not a psychiatrist, so he
doesnt have the answer. But Elisabeth Kübler-Ross is one, and she has
the answer to Kuo Pao Kuns question.</p>
<p>Kübler-Ross calls it the inner
Hitler: inside each person, there is the potential to become a Hitler,
as well as the potential to become a Mother Teresa.</p>
<p>A girl in Poland -
who has lost her family to murder, during the Holocaust - once asked
her: “dont you think that there is a Hitler inside all of us?”
(source: Kübler-Rosss book, “The tunnel and the light”)</p>
<p>Kübler-Ross gently asks the reader: have you the courage to recognise the Hitler in yourself?</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>I got an account on the social network called Mastodon because I wanted to say
the following to the admin of the Mastodon-server/instance where
<a href="http://tilde.town/~abraxas/">~abraxas</a>
had ~abraxass account:</p>
<p>So, one day, I thought, how about I interview myself? Then others can find
out more about me. [chuckles].</p>
<p>“since ~abraxas is dead, can you reflect that on his Mastodon-account?”</p>
<p>But… what would I ever ask myself?</p>
<p>Mastodon allows accounts to become “In Memoriam”. Kinda like a grave-stone.</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>I thought it would be easier to reach that admin through Mastodon than
the internal mail-system of <a href="http://tilde.town">tilde.town</a></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]. Lets 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. (Ive realised the importance of surrounding myself with people who value creativity and innovation - which is not everyone, and I certainly dont 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 didnt 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 wasnt 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>

A challenge I face in pursuing excellence

</a>
</h1>
<time datetime="2020-03-24T00:00:00+00:00" class="post-date">24 Mar 2020</time>
<time datetime="2020-07-07T00:00:00+00:00" class="post-date">07 Jul 2020</time>
<p>A challenge I face in pursuing excellence is… <em>[drum roll]</em>… finding others who pursue excellence.</p>
<p>Okay, maybe that wasnt 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>Beethovens Cello Sonata, Op. 102</li>
<li>Schuberts Winterreise</li>
</ul>
<p>In opera,</p>
<ul>
<li>Bartóks “Duke Bluebeards Castle”</li>
</ul>
<p>In Russian literature,</p>
<ul>
<li>Alexander Pushkins novel in verse, “Eugene Onegin”</li>
</ul>
<p>In childrens literature,</p>
<ul>
<li>Tolkiens “The Hobbit”</li>
</ul>
<p>Others:</p>
<ul>
<li>a fairly modern film, Wong Kar-Wais “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>
<p>Running <em>jekyll -v</em>, on the command line, resulted in the following
message:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>“It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye.”</p>
<p>-bash: /usr/local/bin/jekyll: /usr/bin/ruby2.5: bad interpreter: No such file or directory</p>
</blockquote>
<p><em>This post first appeared <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:6648108747728216064/">on LinkedIn</a>.</em></p>
<p>After some research, I found that I could run the following command:</p>
<p><em>/usr/bin/jekyll -v</em></p>
<p>which resulted in the following message:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>jekyll 3.8.6</p>
</blockquote>
<p>I hope this post saves someone else some time.</p>
<hr />
<p>Besides the above, I also made changes to my .bashrc , before Jekyll could work.</p>
<p>If you find it helpful, you may add the following two lines to your file located
at ~/.bashrc :</p>
<p>export GEM_HOME=/home/your_username/gems</p>
<p>export PATH=”/home/your_username/gems:$PATH”</p>
<p>Replace your_username (in the above two lines) with your user-name, of course.</p>

<p>Maybe in the past it was more artistic (and consensual between
photographer/cameraman and subject)</p>
<p>Not much time on my hands (to make this post).</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>

<time datetime="2020-03-09T00:00:00+00:00" class="post-date">09 Mar 2020</time>
<time datetime="2020-04-05T00:00:00+00:00" class="post-date">05 Apr 2020</time>
<p>Somewhat belatedly, on the occasion of Womens 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 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>Im referring to Beethovens only completed opera, “Fidelio”.</p>
<p>So, one day, I thought, how about I interview myself? Then others can find
out more about me. [chuckles].</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>But… what would I ever ask myself?</p>
<p>I think Ive revealed enough about the plot, so Ill stop relating the details here.</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>Let me end with the (German) words from the finale of the opera:</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>
<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>[clears throat]. Lets start the interview!</p>
<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><strong>How are you challenging yourself in 2020? - Elisha</strong></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>
<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>It didnt seem fun to have to meet the requirements
(of
<a href="http://sipf.sg/">Singapore International Photography Festival</a>
2020) to have
seven photos in my submission. So,
<a href="https://alls-futility.tumblr.com/post/611746367108448256/creative-commons-attribution-40-international">on Tumblr</a>,
I present five photos that I do have, instead; they were taken in the past two years (all on the island of Singapore ); I hope you enjoy them.</p>
<p>A challenge I face in pursuing excellence is… <em>[drum roll]</em>… finding others who pursue excellence.</p>
<p>Okay, maybe that wasnt 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>Beethovens Cello Sonata, Op. 102</li>
<li>Schuberts Winterreise</li>
</ul>
<p>In opera,</p>
<ul>
<li>Bartóks “Duke Bluebeards Castle”</li>
</ul>
<p>In Russian literature,</p>
<ul>
<li>Alexander Pushkins novel in verse, “Eugene Onegin”</li>
</ul>
<p>In childrens literature,</p>
<ul>
<li>Tolkiens “The Hobbit”</li>
</ul>
<p>Others:</p>
<ul>
<li>a fairly modern film, Wong Kar-Wais “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>
</blockquote>

A brief analysis of the artistic merit of videos made by Peeping Toms/voyeurs

<p>Reading a book by David Ulrich, “Zen camera: creative awakening with a daily practice in photography”.</p>
<p>Maybe in the past it was more artistic (and consensual between
photographer/cameraman and subject)</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>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>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>Nowadays, if I were to
use a popular expression, people are “going from bad to worse”</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>
</blockquote>

<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>

<p>Just to share, Ive recently heard of at least two artists who make their works accessible to the public without involving a gallery or a dealer.</p>
<p>Somewhat belatedly, on the occasion of Womens Day - it is refreshing for me to encounter, in literature, a wife saving her husband in distress (instead of the other way round).</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.

“Artist William Powhida Doesnt Have Room to Store All His Work—So He Wants You to Borrow It, For Free”. URL:
https://lnkd.in/fcyYJRe</p>
</li>
<li>
<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>
<p>Im referring to Beethovens only completed opera, “Fidelio”.</p>
<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>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>Whats in the price of a ticket? Her friend, the composer-singer-actor James Flynn ( http://www.flynnjazz.com/ ) has composed songs that interpret Tsuyumis paintings , which he is scheduled to perform, with his trio, on the evening of Tsuyumis exhibition.
Source: my recent chat(s) with Tsuyumi</p>
<p>I think Ive revealed enough about the plot, so Ill 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>

<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 talks 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 havent done (yet), but its 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-sans website: http://heymiwa.com/ )</li>
<li>I met someone who talked about ones posture, in relation to pain in ones knees, while running. Now I am thinking about whether my posture, while I use my laptop, is the best for my body.</li>
</ul>
<p>Lots of food for thought, to say the least!</p>

Just watched a recording of Tim Brown 's TED talk, "Tales of creativity and play"

reading a book on photography
</a>
</h1>
<time datetime="2020-02-28T00:00:00+00:00" class="post-date">28 Feb 2020</time>
<time datetime="2020-03-05T00:00:00+00:00" class="post-date">05 Mar 2020</time>
<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>Reading a book by David Ulrich, “Zen camera: creative awakening with a daily practice in photography”.</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>
<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>
<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>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>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>As Ulrich says (on Page 88), the famous figure in spirituality, Rumi, has a quote/poem:</p>
<p>Definitely interesting to think about - for me, at least. I hope its interesting for you, too.</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>

<p>A few resources:</p>

He cannot understand why educated people, members of the intelligentsia,
in Japan, Germany and China - and elsewhere - can indulge in this
butchering of human beings.</p>
<p>Kuo Pao Kun is not a psychiatrist, so he
doesnt have the answer. But Elisabeth Kübler-Ross is one, and she has
the answer to Kuo Pao Kuns question.</p>
<p>Kübler-Ross calls it the inner

who has lost her family to murder, during the Holocaust - once asked
her: “dont you think that there is a Hitler inside all of us?”

<p>Kübler-Ross gently asks the reader: have you the courage to recognise the Hitler in yourself?</p>

how to say 'good'
<a href="/~rogbeer/2020/02/28/sunny-enough/">
Pay-off(s) of my little investment of sorts: attending a talk
</a>
</h1>
<time datetime="2020-02-13T00:00:00+00:00" class="post-date">13 Feb 2020</time>
<time datetime="2020-02-28T00:00:00+00:00" class="post-date">28 Feb 2020</time>
<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>
<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>
<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, thats all.</p>
</blockquote>
<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>Source: <a href="https://antaiji.org/en/services/kodo-to-you/">https://antaiji.org/en/services/kodo-to-you/</a></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 talks 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>
<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>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/eugeneseancheng/">Eugene Cheng</a> has done photography at weddings, something I havent done (yet), but its 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-sans website: http://heymiwa.com/ )</li>
<li>I met someone who talked about ones posture, in relation to pain in ones knees, while running. Now I am thinking about whether my posture, while I use my laptop, is the best for my body.</li>
</ul>
<p>So, I make the following list, based on words currently in my vocabulary:</p>
<p>Lots of food for thought, to say the least!</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 isnt 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 Ive heard others use them within my ear-shot</li>
<li>majestic - usually I use this word to describe God and Gods works</li>
</ol>
<p>Thats it. Ive 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>

A chat about ethics and technology, with Mr. Sebastian Müeller
<a href="/~rogbeer/2020/02/28/nearly-sunset/">
Just watched a recording of Tim Brown 's TED talk, "Tales of creativity and play"
</a>
</h1>
<time datetime="2020-01-06T00:00:00+00:00" class="post-date">06 Jan 2020</time>
<time datetime="2020-02-28T00:00:00+00:00" class="post-date">28 Feb 2020</time>
<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>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><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 dont 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: “Ill email you after our chat.” [Later, Sebastian emails hyperlinks:]</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>Cathy ONeil. (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 OReilly. (2017). “WTF?: Whats The Future and why its up to us” .
<a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/34017076-wtf">https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/34017076-wtf</a></li>
<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>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>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>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>
<p>Definitely interesting to think about - for me, at least. I hope its interesting for you, too.</p>

Recipe for a (Milo-based) cocktail
<a href="/~rogbeer/2020/02/26/bright-morning/">
A story I wanted to share on the web-site LinkedIn
</a>
</h1>
<time datetime="2019-12-17T00:00:00+00:00" class="post-date">17 Dec 2019</time>
<time datetime="2020-02-26T00:00:00+00:00" class="post-date">26 Feb 2020</time>
<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>Years ago, I read a book by <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/steven-d-souza-5351712/">Steven DSouza</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>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>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>I didnt manage to get the name for this cocktail. Nonetheless, the ingredients:</p>
<p><a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/18210266-not-knowing">https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/18210266-not-knowing</a></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>
</ol>
<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>
<p>You can view my above-mentioned blog-post here:</p>
<p><a href="http://phtan.github.io/blog/post/2016-05-06-not-knowing/">http://phtan.github.io/blog/post/2016-05-06-not-knowing/</a></p>
<p><em>This post was originally intended for publication on the social-media web-site LinkedIn,
but what Ive prepared for that web-site was somehow lost. Now I type a new draft,
and post it first on this current Internet-address, with plans to subsequently post, or syndicate,
it (back) to LinkedIn.</em></p>

A few print-making techniques, and possibly goodbye

how to say 'good'

<p>Recently, at an Open House at <a href="https://www.stpi.com.sg/">STPI</a>, I learnt -
or rather, watched, if not tried my hand at it myself, in some stage of the
respective process - the print-making techniques/processes of Intaglio, Linocut and
Relief-printing.</p>
<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>
<p>By the way, owing to various circumstances, this may or may not be my final
post on this blog.</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, thats all.</p>

<p>Im working on a career-development course right now, titled Work That
Matters. Its by Maia Duerr, and in this blog post, I am going to
make what Maia calls a Lineage of Inspiration.</p>
<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>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>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>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. Im sharing this list as a way for you to get to know me better and its also an invitation for you to do the same. Its a huge gift to realize that our lineage is linked to our liberation. We dont 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. Whos 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>
<p>I didnt manage to get the name for this cocktail. Nonetheless, the ingredients:</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. Ive 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 Youre 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 - Ive 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. Ive 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 Ive
run out of, at a time when I was too busy or pre-occupied to refill those myself.
Ive 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>
<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>

<p>The title of this post seems self-explanatory to me. The list below
includes eateries that have branches overseas but not in Singapore.</p>
<p>Recently, at an Open House at <a href="https://www.stpi.com.sg/">STPI</a>, I learnt -
or rather, watched, if not tried my hand at it myself, in some stage of the
respective process - the print-making techniques/processes of Intaglio, Linocut and
Relief-printing.</p>
<p>This post was inspired by a question that a member of the Meetup-group
<a href="https://www.meetup.com/en-AU/returnedsingaporeans/">
Returned Overseas Singaporeans in Singapore (R.O.S.S.)
</a>
has asked. That member said that she found herself eating at the same places,
implying that she wanted a change of eateries, hence her question, which
was somewhat similar to the title of this post.</p>

<li>Mortons Steakhouse</li>
<li>Slow Bakes (which is supposedly under the same umbrella-organisation
as the chain of meat-free restaurants, Real Food)</li>

<p>By no design of my own, both last year (2018 A.D.) and this (2019 A.D.)
, Ive made purchases
that are somewhat associated with Indonesia - and specifically, batik -
approximately
at the time of the respective years Chinese New Year.</p>
<p>The title of this post is self-explanatory, I believe. If youre so inclined,
check out:</p>
<p>Last year, it was a button-down shirt from Kiahs Gallery

</a> - where the seller told me, “Batik is a dying art.” (she also effectively

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>

<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>Im working on a career-development course right now, titled Work That
Matters. Its by Maia Duerr, and in this blog post, I am going to
make what Maia calls a Lineage of Inspiration.</p>
<p>“What is flower?” I asked him.</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>“Flower? Flower is this!” he replied, before launching into a song, on his
guitar, which I couldnt help but dance to.</p>
<p>She writes:</p>
<p>So what is flower? I couldnt help but to want to have a more theoretical,
or even academic, perspective on the terminology of this street-busker.</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. Im sharing this list as a way for you to get to know me better and its also an invitation for you to do the same. Its a huge gift to realize that our lineage is linked to our liberation. We dont have to do it alone. There is no way we possibly could do it on our own.</p>
</blockquote>
<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>The following is the prompt I am working with, which I reproduce from the afore-mentioned
Internet address. Whos 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>
<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>

<time datetime="2021-12-08T00:00:00+00:00" class="post-date">08 Dec 2021</time>
<p>note to self:</p>
<p>Today I plucked up the courage to walk into a piano showroom, and asked
if I could play on a particularly handsome grand piano.</p>
<p>run the following command once SSH-ed into tilde.town,
if you want an account at https://git.tilde.town</p>
<p>“Yes, you can
try it out,” said the staff, and so I did.</p>
<p><em>town request-gitea</em></p>
<p>First, I tried some
arpeggio(s). Then, a song from a contemporary movie.</p>
<p>and for a list of options, run the command:</p>
<p>It was a great
pleasure. The piano responded to my touch in a magical way,
demonstrating extraordinary sensitivity to even the most subtle of
nuances.</p>
<p><em>town</em></p>
<p>I looked at the staff of the showroom (a middle-aged and
confident lady), and it seemed she was enjoying the song, too.</p>
<p>I would
later enquire about the piano, and only two words remain in my memory:
“top-end” and “hand-made”. And, its logo says: Shigeru Kawai.</p>
<p>But all
too soon, it was time for me to leave (I have a limited repertoire), and
I bade my usual farewell to salespeople: “Ill think about buying it”.
(Which is true, I do think about how many years of slavery to a mean
boss I have to endure, in order to afford stuff like that).</p>
<p>But the
staff was quick to reassure me: “No obligations at all! Were happy you
came here to try our piano.”</p>
<p>Well, it was a nice experience, and I thank (a Biblical) God for that.</p>

<p>Ive met a Teo Eng Seng (Mister) recently - yesterday afternoon - and when
he asked me, “how many Singaporean artists do you know”, with Singaporean
defined as working in Singapore, I realised I was stumped for an answer
beyond a handful of names (not much more than a couple of them); more names
came to me after the moment of interrogation had passed. Well, for the benefit
of whoevers interested, I make a table below, in response to Mr. Teo Eng Sengs
question.</p>
<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>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>
</table>
<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>

when I asked him where that song was from.</p>

<p>A certain kind of coffee in Singapore has been described as too bitter and
too sweet at the same time, if I am not mistaken in my recollection.</p>
<p>The title of this post is self-explanatory.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>“When we tail ministers or members of parliaments in their tours of
the orderly housing estates, I buy them [the camera crew] little plastic bags of milky tea
or coffee. These brews are always too sweet and too bitter at the same
time…” - Joanne Leow, 2016.

<p>Coffee, when bought in Singapore, is not necessarily in the style of an
Americano, espresso, Long Black and the like. In my experience, the ones that
cost SGD$0.70 to $1.50 tend to not be espresso-like or even latte-like - the latter
cost, maybe, upwards of SGD$3.</p>

<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>Ive met a Teo Eng Seng (Mister) recently - yesterday afternoon - and when
he asked me, “how many Singaporean artists do you know”, with Singaporean
defined as working in Singapore, I realised I was stumped for an answer
beyond a handful of names (not much more than a couple of them); more names
came to me after the moment of interrogation had passed. Well, for the benefit
of whoevers interested, I make a table below, in response to Mr. Teo Eng Sengs
question.</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>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>The following are eateries/shops where the offerings have been thought of as
expensive by others or myself. I list them with an example of the prices (in
SGD),
which I myself have paid while I was there.</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 isnt merely
sensational, that doesnt get its message across in ten seconds, that
isnt falsely iconic, that hooks onto something deep-running in our
natures. In a word, art that is the very opposite of mass media.</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 its 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>

What I learnt in Computer Science
<a href="/~rogbeer/2018/11/23/cloudy/">
description of a certain kind of coffee in Singapore
</a>
</h1>
<time datetime="2018-10-30T00:00:00+00:00" class="post-date">30 Oct 2018</time>
<time datetime="2018-11-23T00:00:00+00:00" class="post-date">23 Nov 2018</time>
<p>I dropped out from an undergraduate course in Computer Science (CS, for short).</p>
<p>A certain kind of coffee in Singapore has been described as too bitter and
too sweet at the same time, if I am not mistaken in my recollection.</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>
<blockquote>
<p>“When we tail ministers or members of parliaments in their tours of
the orderly housing estates, I buy them [the camera crew] little plastic bags of milky tea
or coffee. These brews are always too sweet and too bitter at the same
time…” - Joanne Leow, 2016.
<a href="https://catapult.co/stories/journalism-and-jiujitsu">“Journalism and Jiujitsu: The gentle arts of a dictatorship”</a>.</p>
</blockquote>
<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>Coffee, when bought in Singapore, is not necessarily in the style of an
Americano, espresso, Long Black and the like. In my experience, the ones that
cost SGD$0.70 to $1.50 tend to not be espresso-like or even latte-like - the latter
cost, maybe, upwards of SGD$3.</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
thats a topic for another time, perhaps).</p>
<p>Thats powerful. Thats 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>This might be an alert to seekers of coffee who are new in Singapore.</p>

<p>In no particuar order,</p>
<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>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>

want to eat somewhere cheap in Orchard Road?
<a href="/~rogbeer/2018/11/12/still-sunny/">
Quotes I found on the web-site/blog of an artist
</a>
</h1>
<time datetime="2018-10-21T00:00:00+00:00" class="post-date">21 Oct 2018</time>
<time datetime="2018-11-12T00:00:00+00:00" class="post-date">12 Nov 2018</time>
<p>I list a couple of places where the prices of (cooked) food are cheaper
compared to the rest of the eateries that can be found in the area known
as Orchard Road (of Singapore).</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>
<ol>
<li>In the lower floors of the shopping mall Lucky Plaza.</li>
<li>Somewhere near the building Midpoint Orchard, on the side of the road opposite
the shopping mall Orchard Central. One level down from street level.</li>
</ol>
<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 isnt merely
sensational, that doesnt get its message across in ten seconds, that
isnt falsely iconic, that hooks onto something deep-running in our
natures. In a word, art that is the very opposite of mass media.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>By cheap I mean that one perhaps could get something to eat for SGD$3.</p>
<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 its 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>

<p>I joined Postcrossing last month, and Ive since been keeping a look-out
for places that sell postcards, on this tiny island in South-east Asia.</p>
<p>A village elder told a young child:
“There are two wolves in every person. One is loving and gentle, while
the other is hateful and brutal. They fight with each other all day and
all night.”</p>
<p>I list a few below. Do you know of others? I hope you and I can add to
each others knowledge! :slight_smile:</p>

<h3 id="preface">Preface</h3>
<p>I was a little reluctant to share the locations of these places - since
I have begun to regard them as little treasures for me to view quietly -
but I am instructed by the teacher Christ Jesus to not stock up on treasures
of this world.</p>
<p>In Matthew 6:19-20, he tells us:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust
destroy, and where thieves break in and steal.
But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven,
where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do
not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there
your heart will be also.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>And again, in Luke 12:32-34:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Do not be afraid, little flock, for your Father is pleased to give you the
kingdom. Sell your possessions and give to the poor.
Provide yourselves with purses that will not wear out, an
inexhaustible treasure in heaven, where no thief approaches and
no moth destroys. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.</p>
</blockquote>

<p>So, in the hopes that my god is pleased, I list a number of art-galleries below:</p>
<p>I list a couple of places where the prices of (cooked) food are cheaper
compared to the rest of the eateries that can be found in the area known
as Orchard Road (of Singapore).</p>
<ol>
<li>Cape of Good Hope Art Gallery.
Address: 231 Bain Street, Bras Basah Complex, #03-17, Singapore 180231.</li>
<li>DLR Gallery.
Address: 22 Marshall Road,
Singapore 424858. <em>To visit, please call +65 9772 7852 - look for
Mister <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/34095087-teo-eng-seng">Teo Eng Seng</a> -

<li>The Private Museum. Address: 51 Waterloo Street, #02-06,

<li>In the lower floors of the shopping mall Lucky Plaza.</li>
<li>Somewhere near the building Midpoint Orchard, on the side of the road opposite
the shopping mall Orchard Central. One level down from street level.</li>
</ol>
<p>A quick search on an online search-engine would, if G!d is willing, reveal the
contact-numbers of these spaces and/or further information.</p>
<p>By cheap I mean that one perhaps could get something to eat for SGD$3.</p>

<p>If there were a situation in which I had to spend money on an espresso,
and I had SGD$6 - which could only be spent on espresso - and a choice of
espresso from any coffee-shop
in Singapore, I would go to
<a href="https://www.facebook.com/LaRistrettos/">La Ristrettos</a>
and get theirs, which is sold at $3.</p>
<p>By smaller bookstores I mean bookstores that, in a sense, arent like Kinokuniya,
Times, Popular and so on.</p>
<p>When I was there once, a member of the staff told me
he had served me espresso that was single-origin (probably he was referring
to the coffee beans - which, on that day, he might have said was from
Ethiopia).</p>
<p>I list the bookstores with their brick-and-mortar addresses as well as their
web-addresses.</p>

<p>Charlie was a visitor whom I met in Singapore (in the past couple of weeks
or so). Hes from Melbourne and he
wore boots from the brand Blundstone. He was born in the year 1996 A.D.</p>
<h3 id="preface">Preface</h3>
<p>He suggested that I listen to the following musicians:</p>
<p>I was a little reluctant to share the locations of these places - since
I have begun to regard them as little treasures for me to view quietly -
but I am instructed by the teacher Christ Jesus to not stock up on treasures
of this world.</p>
<p>In Matthew 6:19-20, he tells us:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust
destroy, and where thieves break in and steal.
But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven,
where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do
not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there
your heart will be also.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>And again, in Luke 12:32-34:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Do not be afraid, little flock, for your Father is pleased to give you the
kingdom. Sell your possessions and give to the poor.
Provide yourselves with purses that will not wear out, an
inexhaustible treasure in heaven, where no thief approaches and
no moth destroys. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.</p>
