Hello everyone! This little video is in Chinese. It's an invitation to my exhibition next November. In it, I talk a little bit about the paintings and this exhibition in particular. “Rhapsody on a Windy Night” is the title of a poem by T.S. Eliot. I chose this title as the name of my exhibition because I was inspired by this piece to paint this series of paintings. The poem talks about a person wandering through the night, lost in thought, a mere witness and also part of the world around him. It describes a struggle between the most transient of things, memory, and the physicality of existence, the material world. I translated this struggle into this series of paintings all dealing with being underwater as an analogy of being trapped in our memories. Their common thread is the flow of changing color, the intermingling of shapes and movement, just like memory, which "throws up high and dry a crowd of twisted things". This exhibition is very dear to me. The opening will be special since my husband, who is a musician, will perform for us and this is the third exhibition my baby boy will be attending (he attended the first one when in the womb). Also, I will make chocolate chip cookies! For me, every exhibition is a communal activity, an excuse to be together, to create bonds...so please come join us and let's have fun together!

Hola a todos! Este video está en chino. Es una invitación a mi exhibición de noviembre. En él hablo un poco de las pinturas y de la exhibición en sí. "Rapsodia de una noche de viento" es el título de un poema de T.S. Eliot que fue la fuente de inspiración para hacer estas pinturas. En el poema se presenta a una persona que deambula por la noche, perdida en sus pensamientos, un mero testigo de lo que ocurre a su alrededor y, a la vez, parte fundamental del entramado del mundo. El poema describe una lucha entre la memoria -condenada a escurrirse, transformarse, desaparecer- y lo físico de la existencia, el mundo material. Mi trabajo personal fue traducir esa lucha en esta serie de pinturas que tratan el tema de la vida, el movimiento bajo el agua como una analogía de estar atrapado en la memoria. El denominador común es el fluir del color, el entrelazado de formas y de movimiento, como la memoria, que "arroja y deja en seco una multitud de cosas retorcidas". Esta es una exhibición muy querida para mí. Mi marido va a tocar el piano en la apertura y mi bebito de 9 meses estará allí (esta es su tercera exhibición, a la primera asistió desde la panza). Va a ser algo muy familiar, muy cálido; hasta haré galletitas con chips de chocolate para todos! Para mí, cada exhibición es una forma de crear comunidad, una excusa para generar lazos humanos, así que los que estén en Taipei, bienvenidísimos a jugar un rato con nosotros!

填詞是一個鍛煉文筆的好途徑。

眼淺的人不宜在夜半獨聽歌，尤其是Bob Dylan的歌。我研讀上世紀歐美流行曲的興衰，穿梭各支樂隊的詞和韻，終於明白到他怎會得到諾貝爾文學獎。《Blowin' in the wind》，是飄揚還是飄零？或許在翳焗的熱島裡，我們已忘了風怎樣吹，但只要有詩，自能喚起久違的畫面和感動。

20歲左右就作得出不朽的金曲，那壯闊的心靈不知Bob是怎樣成長的。聽他在1964年在紐約民歌節的演唱片段，很難相信那老邁滄桑的唱腔是屬於眼前的這一個人，更想像不到那賺人熱淚的《Mr. Tambourine Man》是這個小伙子寫的。你要聽嗎？我手癢，想親自把歌詞譯作唱得出的中文：

Hey! Mr. Tambourine man, play a song for me
唏！先生鈴鐺鼓奏，為我歌一次
I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to
唔願睡去嘅我不知往地是何兒
Hey! Mr. Tambourine man, play a song for me
唏！先生鈴鐺鼓奏，為我歌一次
In the jingle jangle morning I'll come following you
明晨鈴鐺鈴鐺我願跟你遠走歸去

Though I know that evening's empire has returned into sand
縱我得悉失衰嘅帝國現已歸夕塵
Vanished from my hand
十指跣無痕
Left me blindly here to stand but still not sleeping
留下目昏冷佇的我照舊無眠
My weariness amazes me, I'm branded on my feet
我困倦多得驚歎我，我烙印深未磨
I have no one to meet
無伴只歎為何
And the ancient empty street's too dead for dreaming
無人踏進那老街似喪沒夢迴

Hey! Mr. Tambourine man, play a song for me
唏！先生鈴鐺鼓奏，為我歌一次
I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to
唔願睡去嘅我不知往地是何兒
Hey! Mr. Tambourine man, play a song for me
唏！先生鈴鐺鼓奏，為我歌一次
In the jingle jangle morning I'll come following you
明晨鈴鐺鈴鐺我願跟你遠走歸去

Take me on a trip upon your magic swirling ship
魔登風急探秘之旅為我開船
My senses have been stripped
無奈知覺無存
My hands can't feel to grip
無力握那實拳
My toes too numb to step
麻木趾痛難前
Wait only for my boot heels to be wandering
磨蹭兩腳困靴裡勉力徘徊

I'm ready to go anywhere, I'm ready for to fade
我拋身捨去通處去讓我消失去
Into my own parade
藏在匿旅獨隨
Cast your dancing spell my way, I promise to go under it
隨狂蹈魔舞自殘，我應得此報願降從

Hey! Mr. Tambourine man, play a song for me
唏！先生鈴鐺鼓奏，為我歌一次
I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to
唔願睡去嘅我不知往地是何兒
Hey! Mr. Tambourine man, play a song for me
唏！先生鈴鐺鼓奏，為我歌一次
In the jingle jangle morning I'll come following you
明晨鈴鐺鈴鐺我願跟你遠走歸去

Though you might hear laughing, spinning, swinging madly across the sun
雖君聽出欣歡、瘋轉、擺舞越過驕陽
It's not aimed at anyone
無目標向誰佯
It's just escaping on the run
求直奔至離場
And but for the sky there are no fences facing
然後直到我躍往天際掙脫木欄

And if you hear vague traces of skipping reels of rhyme
他朝一天倘你聽見舊韻失落痕
To your tambourine in time
隨着鈴鐺引共鳴
It's just a ragged clown behind
回頭望醜我落形
I wouldn't pay it any mind
明白實不介懷
It's just a shadow you're seeing that he's chasing
人前是那個他要捉嘅陰暗亡靈

Hey! Mr. Tambourine man, play a song for me
唏！先生鈴鐺鼓奏，為我歌一次
I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to
唔願睡去嘅我不知往地是何兒
Hey! Mr. Tambourine man, play a song for me
唏！先生鈴鐺鼓奏，為我歌一次
In the jingle jangle morning I'll come following you
明晨鈴鐺鈴鐺我願跟你遠走歸去

And take me disappearing through the smoke rings of my mind
請將他拐帶消散蹤杳伴我煙圈去
Down the foggy ruins of time
迷霧光陰漸垂
Far past the frozen leaves
紅葉霜結輕碎
The haunted frightened trees
寒樹陰暗慄誰
Out to the windy beach
長石灘風飛裡
Far from the twisted reach of crazy sorrow
求直飛結界扭曲天邊疏隔狂愁

Yes, to dance beneath the diamond sky
應當於天色通透起舞
With one hand waving free
任我手亂搖
Silhouetted by the sea
隨着倩影去弄潮
Circled by the circus sands
圍着熱沙腳下撩
With all memory and fate
懷着熱腔眺望遼
Driven deep beneath the waves
潛入浪深處漸遙
Let me forget about today until tomorrow
然後讓我再也不記今夕何年

Hey! Mr. Tambourine man, play a song for me
唏！先生鈴鐺鼓奏，為我歌一次
I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to
唔願睡去嘅我不知往地是何兒
Hey! Mr. Tambourine man, play a song for me
唏！先生鈴鐺鼓奏，為我歌一次
In the jingle jangle morning I'll come following you
明晨鈴鐺鈴鐺我願跟你遠走歸去

从老公的角度看试管婴儿疗程

当一对夫妻要做 #IVF试管疗程时，做丈夫的应该用什么态度来面对？常常有网友告诉我说，我的老公精子不好，可是他还是不能戒烟戒酒，好不配合。要知道，不孕症不只是女人的责任，男人也是有责任。这篇文章，是以男人的角度出发，里面分享身为丈夫应该如何帮助太太一起度过疗程，文章是英文内容，是奥莉爸爸写的，奥莉爸不会中文。分享给大家😊

IVF Journey, A Husband’s Perspective

Hi all, before reading further I would like to say this is NOT an instruction or tips for IVF and hopefully readers will understand my poorly written English. This is my journey as a father of the IVF baby girl. Why am I sharing all this? It is because my wife had a Facebook page of her IVF journey at https://facebook.com/ivfjourney2015/ and she told me that majorities (not all but most) feedback indicate husband not supportive enough to commit into a journey of IVF. I’m not a true supportive husband either, least I made up my mind to make it happen.

Let’s start with “Why IVF?”
We went for a fertilization test and results with;
Husband: Teratospermia (Human language, sperm is weak for fertilization process)
Wife: Unexplained infertility (I think this is easy to understand, there is for the confirming reason for this result and we don’t go for further test after it because it will consumes too much time and money)

We married and planned to have children late 2011, both our ages were 37 in 2015 because of late marriage. My wife introduced IVF because she does not want to give up and feels regretful in future and so do I. Maybe because I did too many regretful things in the past, now I do not want this happened to my wife. At least I do it better then ignoring it.

Preparation for IVF
Financially, I know it will involve amount of 20k – 30k “Ringgit Malaysia” in the whole process depending on the situation and this is only one chance for me. I don’t have the money for a second attempt because I need to allocate funds for delivery if success.

Mentally, I do some studies/research on IVF. The whole journey took 50 days and in one of the process my wife needs to do a self-injection daily. I quickly asked my wife “Daily injection?! Do I need to fetch you to clinic daily to do this?” She answered “No, we need to do this ourselves”. A final question from me going to be “How?!” After we sat down and discuss, we comes into conclusion and I will do the injection for her. This was the most painful and nervous moment I ever experience by poking a needle to my wife’s belly EVERYDAY!

Lifestyle, 6 months earlier. My wife told me the NO’s, NO alcohol NO smoking NO midnight wandering NO stress. I said, I will fly up to the skies like butterfly if I able to do all the NO’s. It’s like a mission impossible. How can a man like me not go out to social with friends without alcohol and smoke? The joke was sleeping early! You want me to social with my friends in breakfast or lunch time? At this time, she softly said “I really wants to have a cute baby in future, it looks more like a family. Furthermore, I don’t want to have regretful moments in future”. All these words came out of my love (wife), her words melted in my heart deeply. I told her “Ok, we will go for it BUT you will need to promise me ONE IMPORTANT thing. No matter the process success or not we only have one attempt we need to accept the truth and live happily without regret in future.” she agreed.

Commitment, this is not some empty promise. I made a huge commitment to change my lifestyle into zero alcohol, tobacco and lesser stress. If comparing the pain and suffers my wife will take in this journey e.g., injection, medication effects, hormone changes and all the effects from pregnancies to delivery, mine looks more alike small potatoes (looks much more simple). Trust me guys, don't compare it, if you do and more likely you're going loose badly. For the sake of making a better future, I had fulfilled this commitment.

IVF Journey Phase 1 “Unskilled Husband Injection”
Day 1, doctor consults us for Buserelin injection. I need to inject this medication into my wife's belly each day sharp at 8AM. The nurse had guided me side by side to do the first injection.
Day 2, I started my first injection to my wife's belly without anyone guiding beside. Feels a bit nervous because this time I'm doing it all by myself. I try to hum some music to distract my wife's from looking at the needle while injecting but still she is looking at it.
Day 3 - Day 15, sometime the injection hurting and causes bleeding/bruise to her. I need to find a new spot to inject every time and sees her bruise makes my pain in the heart too. My injection skills improved dramatically. She even told me that she doesn't feel pain like the beginning stages.
Day 16, follow up 2nd checkup. Doctor said, everything goes smoothly and added another medication to inject called Gonal-F to take home and start injecting on day 23. This message never surprises me because I've been told earlier, but just that the price to pay for this medication is quite costly.
Day 17 - Day 22, nothing much on these days and we just stick on the plan as usual.

IVF Journey Phase 2 “Stressful Night”
Day 23, Gonal F injections start today. This needle doesn't look same as those earlier, it comes with medication in it and look like a pen.
Day 24 - Day 26, side effects of the Gonal F medications started. My wife is feeling irritation at the injection site, fullness, bloating and tenderness in the lower abdomen due to the increasing size of the ovaries. Her mood changes dramatically as I can tell, but she endures it and tell me she can handle it.
Day 27, follow up 3rd checkup. Doctor said wife has eggs total of 12 and is ready for Transvaginal oocyte retrieval "Human language, Egg retrieval" at day 31.
Day 28 - Day 29, final injection of Gonal F. At day 29 night, I inject Ovidrel to wife belly to that causes the growth and release of a mature egg (ovulation) for day 31.
Day 30, resting whole day. Finally, we had a day without injection and worrying about holding any needles. Today we wondering about the egg growth, not knowing will the eggs grow more or still the same amount of 12.
Day 31, egg retrieval. 8 egg success retrieves and I give out my sperm for oocytes selection on the same day. Wife given cyclogest for oval protection after the egg retrieval.

IVF Journey Phase 3 “Hopeful Embryo Culture & Embryo Transfer”
Day 32 - Day 35, rest at home. We had pillow talk every night concerning about the growth of an embryo. We also look at sample growth stages of an embryo from the web to see what the current growth stage is.
Day 36, another hopeful and nervous morning. Doctor tells us the result of embryo culture as below;
Total Embryo Retrieve: 8
Embryo Qualified for ICSI: 6
Embryo Success until Cleavage Stage (Day 2 – Day 4): 3
Embryo Success until Blastocyst Stage (Day 5): 2
Embryo Qualified / Recommended for Transfer: 1
Both our eyes looked at each other, knowing only 1 Blastocyst Embryo available to transfer and doctor tell the same after it. I really do not know how to express both our feelings into words here, as we expected to have at least 2 Blastocyst out of 8 embryos and only left 1. We both agreed to proceed this only 1 Blastocyst transfer as this is the only choice we had. It's more likely walking on a 100ft tall string with no supports mission, a single error will fail the mission.
After the transfer process, wife given a room to rest for few hours. A nurse came and give us adjunctive medications, injections and advice while resting at room.

IVF Journey Phase 4 “The Final Moment of IVF”
Day 37 - Day 49, after the transfer. This period is known as 2WW (2 Weeks Wait) with adjunctive medications, injections and be very careful. I just let her sleep/rest more on the bed, I served her every meal in the room. We're also nervous and curious about pregnancy results on day 44, we tested with cheap pregnancy tester and get got a double line on it and we do have a little hope and joy with this result. On day 47, again we test, but this time with expensive pregnancy tester and the results double line again! We're so hopeful and happy at this moment. We really hope this result is true until the next checkup.
Day 50, final checkup. My wife goes for the hCG test by giving a sample of blood, we waited 2 hours for the results. While waiting, nurse guide us to a room to rest. Wife slept and I sat beside concerned on the hCG test results. 2 hours later, the doctor invited us to look for him. Before doctor speaks, while we are sitting down, my wife's eyes were starring in the hCG results number and she spotted the hCG number is 452. She smiles happily while doctor tells her "You are pregnant and congratulations! Come back after 2 weeks to scan for baby heartbeats. And please go out to the counter and ring the bell!”

Just Sharing My Thoughts
By all means, I’m not bragging about my success. I would like to say if anyone is planning on IVF, teamwork is very important and husband play a very important role to increase the success rate. Sometimes, I do feel like a spectator than a participant myself because I never experience any of the medical exams but this is not true. Every injection I put on her belly, I feel the pain in my heart as bad as she has on the belly. Ok, nothing much to share in this IVF journey and next time I might be sharing another journey as a Father! Here is my little baby girl Facebook page奥莉 Olivia Baby - 梁童心心 https://fb.me/oliviababylove if you wish to see her growth updates.

End.
