<h3>About me
</h3>
<p>
In March 2018, I left my undergraduate-studies in Computer Science, even
though it was my Final Year of the course of study. I just didn't
believe anymore in what I was doing. I wasn't enjoying my time, and it
was taking a toll on my mental health. So, I left.
</p>
<p>
Here's part of my beliefs:
<ul>
<li>I can enjoy myself, and serve society/mankind at the same time
</li>
<li>I can be contented with my material lifestyle (eg. What to eat, what to drink, what to wear).
</li>
</ul>
Fast-forward two years (since I left University), I am enjoying myself, and I am managing to have (enough) material comfort.
<p>
<p><b>What am I doing now?</b>
</p>
<p>
Right now, I am participating in an exchange of language and culture, with international people, as part of the organisation Mundo Lingo.
</p>
<p>
Mundo Lingo has a presence in many cities, and in light of the pandemic, we have moved from in-person gatherings to online chat-groups.
</p>
<p>
I do not ask for a salary for my work with Mundo Lingo - in my limited knowledge, nobody in Mundo Lingo gets a salary - but I do feel rewarded with friendships and what internationals share with me, about their home culture and language. (You may already know that I am teaching Singlish, or Singapore-flavoured English language, to at least one Burmese lady, as part of such work).
</p>
<p>
I believe in continuing education - in the hopes of learning the Indonesian language, I had a one-hour chat with an England-based Indonesian, over the Internet.
</p>
<p>
And I'm taking a eight-week online course as well, "Writing in the sciences". From Stanford University, and happily, free of charge. It's Week 3 for me now. Yesterday I learnt more about punctuating my sentences for variety
</p>
<p>
About painting - while clearing my emails, I got more ideas for my artistic practice: various gallerists introduced new media or new artists

<h3>What am I doing now?
</h3>
<p>
Right now, I am participating in an exchange of language and culture, with international people, as part of the organisation Mundo Lingo.
</p>
<p>
Mundo Lingo has a presence in many cities, and in light of the pandemic, we have moved from in-person gatherings to online chat-groups.
</p>
<p>
I do not ask for a salary for my work with Mundo Lingo - in my limited knowledge, nobody in Mundo Lingo gets a salary - but I do feel rewarded with friendships and what internationals share with me, about their home culture and language. (You may already know that I am teaching Singlish, or Singapore-flavoured English language, to at least one Burmese lady, as part of such work).
</p>
<p>
I believe in continuing education - in the hopes of learning the Indonesian
language, I've been having weekly chats with an England-based Indonesian,
over the Internet. (One hour each time).
</p>
<p>
On 30th August 2020, I completed an online course, "Writing in the sciences".
From Stanford University, and happily, free of charge. It took eight weeks
and despite its name, I've found it helpful in improving my everyday written
language. (<a href="https://www.coursera.org/account/accomplishments/certificate/B4KUFQ86VYVX">Here
is my certificate</a>, if you're into that kind of thing.)
</p>
<p>
A good friend from Mundo Lingo, whom I shall call T - we've only ever met
over the Internet - said that T herself has early-stage breast cancer.
</p>
<p>T is only thirty-two years old, but T has high spirits in such a time,
which I thank God for.
</p>
<p>T has a schedule of cancer-treatment to follow, for at least
one year (starting from now).
</p>
<p>I want to support T - in emotional and spiritual terms, at
least - but first I have to take care of myself. I got some advice to care
for myself before caring for others.
</p>
<p>So I've been giving myself permission to enjoy myself: wine, movies,
books, classical music (such as Requiem(s) by various composers).
