With a background that indicates involvement with onboarding processes and possibly employee development, Chandra comes across as an enthusiastic individual dedicated to improving the joiner's experience. He reflects on his Chinese Indonesian heritage with a storytelling flair, indicating a rich family history and cultural influences. In this heartfelt and enlightening episode of "You Can Sit with Us," our host, Lexi B, is joined by the charismatic Fred Chandra. The duo delves into the layered concepts of work-life rhythm, managing burnout, and the journey of seeking professional help. The conversation begins with anecdotes from both Lexi and Fred's lives, touching on intriguing backstories that shed light on their resilience and character. As Fred shares his experiences, listeners are drawn into a candid discussion about the challenges of maintaining balance amidst adversity. Episode Summary Fred Chandra opens up about his personal experience with burnout, which manifest in the intense year of 2020. Throughout, he navigates through the themes of work demands, family responsibilities, and societal pressures. This episode serves as a reminder of the importance of self-care and the courage it takes to seek help when needed. The dialogue also touches on the evolving concept of resilience, distinguishing it from the act of mere endurance and the struggles associated with maintaining a facade of success. Key Takeaways Burnout is a multifaceted issue that can stem from both professional and personal pressures, accentuated by the pandemic and societal unrest. The journey toward seeking help, such as therapy or medication, is a personal, noble, and essential step toward wellbeing. There is a clear distinction between resilience and endurance, with resilience involving the acknowledgment of feelings and constructive action. The concept of work-life balance is better framed as a work-life rhythm, which fluctuates throughout different life phases. Open communication, especially within families and between generations, is key to breaking stigmas around mental health and seeking help. Notable Quotes "Resilience is being able to see yourself as a human being in a whole system, acknowledging the feelings, feeling the feelings, and then figuring out what to do next." - Fred Chandra "I choose to live, and I choose work to be a means in which I can live." - Fred Chandra "My sense of value and worth is not attached to my work or job title, even though I was raised to believe that's how it should be." - Fred Chandra "There is no such thing as work-life balance... I call it the work-life rhythm." - Fred Chandra Important Links - Fred's Linkedin --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/lexib/message

Born to a Chinese Indonesian mother and English Scandinavian father Simon Lawson's (Agape Organic Food Trucks) first experiences of food were through his Chinese grandmother, sitting on the kitchen bench watching and trying to help her cook. His family bought whole animals from farmers, and grew all their own vegetables. It's hardly surprising that when he became a chef he headed down the organic path long before it became in vogue. One of the most influential chefs in Australia's culinary history in regards to organic food, he's now taking this message to the streets with a group of cult foodtrucks. https://www.agapeorganic.com.au Follow Deep In The Weeds on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/deepintheweedspodcast/?hl=en Follow Huck https://www.instagram.com/huckstergram/ Follow Rob Locke (Executive Producer) https://www.instagram.com/foodwinedine/ LISTEN TO OUR OTHER FOOD PODCASTS https://linktr.ee/DeepintheWeedsNetwork Deep in the Weeds is a food podcast hosted by Anthony Huckstep in conversation with chefs, food producers and members of the hospitality industry.

Our second episode quite literally puts the lens on climate as we spotlight the 24th annual Planet in Focus International Environmental Film Festival (PIF), running from October 12th-22nd at Toronto's Paradise Theatre. PIF executive director Katherine Bruce speaks with us about the continued and growing importance of Canada's largest and longest running environmental film festival and this year's program of shorts, speakers and feature-length films. Filmmaker Deirdre Leowinata discusses her film Keepers of the Land and its themes of reclamation and reconciliation. We are also joined by Liz Marshall and Alfonso Salinas on the premiere of their powerful feature-length film, s-yéwyáw: Awaken. Speaking about this year's Planet in Focus Film Festival, Bruce says: “This year's program represents something that's broadened our definition of environment enormously over the last probably eight years, to include social justice, climate justice is racial justice … We really decided this year to create a tighter program with as many panels and speakers, filmmakers present as possible … People long for connection when they've seen these films that we present. They come away with questions. They come away with concerns. They come away with a desire to be involved, to be engaged with the issues … And that's what I think is so beneficial about always offering an audience an avenue, but also a space – a space to gather.” On her festival short, Keepers of the Land, Leowinata says: “I hope that it'll get people really excited about what's happening in Canada. Because this is just one Indigenous community in Canada, and there are so many other communities who are doing work like the Kitasoo Xai'xais Nation, and who are really moving the needle in terms of Indigenous-led Conservation, and that's what our film is about. ” Reflecting on S-YéwYáw AWAKEN, Salinas says: “We've gone on this journey where we've learned so much about each other and what happened on the film, on and off the film, it was a lot of healing. And now we get to share that story with the world, which I think is the most important thing. ” The 24th annual Planet in Focus International Film Festival, running until October 22nd in Toronto at the Paradise Theatre (1006 Bloor St West).

Book 1. Organ House My first book. I was living in Indonesia between 2000 and 2003. I heard a story that a Chinese Indonesian couple had lost a child in China at some point and I found the story to be interesting. Not knowing if this was a true story or not I decided to believe it so I could take it to the next level. The story went as such. A couple had lost their son on the streets of some city in China. Years later a friend spotted the child on the street and recognized the son. Long story short, the child was alive but had his tongue cut out and a scar on his side. The child was abducted and had an organ removed and yet somehow was alive and on the street. Maybe he was to be cut up again before being killed. I do not know if the story were true but that is how Organ House was born. The book. I picture the setting of a large Manor and the story to be taking place in some Eastern European country or Britain. Either one would do. A large manor where the grounds are kept as neat and as clean as though they belonged to royalty. The idea of Harry Potter comes to mind. Where kids are eating in a large hall with uniforms in silence. Whenever visitors came, the kids would never dare to look up or look around. The idea was that outside and in certain areas inside the manor, the place is seemingly perfect. Yet behind closed doors and in private, the kids are treated in horrible and horrific ways. While I am very proud of my first book, admittedly it is odd. It has four chapters. More like a movie script with a beginning, middle and end. Hey, it was my first book, right? The title. Just as it implies Organ House is a place where children are catalogued and kept for waiting recipients. The slogan, "No child leaves alive." is also the mission statement for the facility. The idea of organ harvesting and children seems to fit very well for a twisted mind and a horror story. Oddly enough I am not a horror movie fan, nor am I one who has a twisted mind. Let's call it a creative process. Yes, that seems to work well. The back of the book. Sam is an ordinary 12- year-old boy, living an ordinary life until it comes to a screeching halt. Sam's immediate family dies in a terrible accident, and he is sent to an orphanage. He soon learns that in this orphanage no one ever gets adopted and no one ever leaves alive. He befriends Fred the gardener at the orphanage, learning the secrets of this strange new place. When one of Sam's friends goes missing, he decides to investigate. When further horrific events happen, Sam and his friends plot an escape. Soon Sam discovers that Fred's roots grow much deeper than being a gardener. When a couple comes to adopt a child, Sam sees that Fred suddenly changes. Within the confusion, Sam and his friends make plans to escape the hellhole they are in. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/zsolt-zsemba/message

episode 123 "A Peanut Never Forgets Its Shell" Life as a Third Culture Kid with Chinese-Indonesian M. Introduction Aimee's grandfather was perpetually hungry, subsisting sometimes on as little as a sweet potato a day. So when he was given the opportunity at 12 years old to leave China and join his uncle in Indonesia, he took it. He didn't see his parents or siblings for 30 years. Two generations later, M.

For this episode, Harshini chose the highly anticipated sequel to the very first book we read for the podcast (Dial A for Aunties): Four Aunties and a Wedding by Jesse Q. Sutanto. The story picks up on Meddy and the four Chinese-Indonesian aunties we loved in the first book as they navigate Meddy's own wedding and an attack by the mafia. We've referenced the first book many times in our podcast, especially since Pooj loves it, but did the second book live up to our expectations?
This month on our Relaxing Reads podcast hosts Ann, Deb and Simone discuss Dial A for Aunties by author Jesse Q. Sutanto - a super funny and quirky novel that is part thriller, part rom-com, and a celebration of mothers and daughters as well as a deep dive into Chinese-Indonesian culture. When Meddelin Chan ends up accidentally killing her blind date, her meddlesome mother calls for her even more meddlesome aunties to help get rid of the body. Unfortunately, a dead body proves to be a lot more challenging to dispose of than one might anticipate, especially when it's accidentally shipped in a cake cooler to the over-the-top billionaire wedding Meddy her Ma, and aunties are working, at an island resort on the California coastline. But things go from inconvenient to downright torturous when Meddy's great college love—and biggest heartbreak—makes a surprise appearance amid the wedding chaos. Such a great read. Plus we chat with Author Jesse Q. Sutanto about how she came up with this concept, her favourite moment in the book and about this novel becoming a Netflix film.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In 1975, he was among a group of young artists who founded Indonesia's Gerakan Seni Rupa Baru (New Art Movement), which emphasized an experimental, conceptual approach, the use of everyday materials, and engagement with social and political issues. Over the course of recent decades that have seen enormous transformations in Indonesia, Harsono has continuously explored the role of the artist in society, in particular his relationship to history. During Indonesia's dictatorial Suharto regime (1967-98), his installation and performance works were powerfully eloquent acts of protest against an oppressive state apparatus. The fall of the regime in 1998, which triggered rioting and widespread violence, mainly against Indonesia's ethnic Chinese minority, prompted an introspective turn in Harsono's artistic practice. He embarked on an ongoing investigation of his own family history and the position of minorities in society, especially his own Chinese-Indonesian community. The recovery of buried or repressed histories, cultures, and identities – and the part that the artist can play in this process – have remained a significant preoccupation. Through looking into his own past, Harsono has touched on concerns that resonate globally, foregrounding fundamental issues that are central to the formation of group and personal identities in our rapidly changing world.www.creativeprocess.info

In the spirit of eps 120 and 123, where we delved into Juliana and Brian's upbringing, we wanted to have an honest conversation reflecting back on our nuanced experience growing up in the Bay Area.

When you look at the actual origin of investment flows, China is now the biggest investor in Indonesia. And two macro trends are currently at play in the trade relationship. Chinese (and other) manufacturers are diversifying out of China and finding relatively young and affordable Indonesian labor attractive especially as other countries like Vietnam become saturated and more expensive. And Indonesia as we know has become a major potential market for an investment opportunities by Chinese technology companies, and Chinese capital in general.We talk with Liky Sutikno, Chair of the Indonesia Chamber of Commerce in China (Inacham) on this and other issues. Liky explains how Indonesia has been shifting its focus to use its abundant labor and natural resources to attract overseas investment on the condition that Indonesia does more and more value-added processing work, not just resource extraction and export.We also dive into major trade zones and infrastructure projects and the role for Chinese players there. We further get into the role of the Chinese-Indonesian business community in bridging the two economies. And finally we discuss opportunities for Indonesia companies starting out in certain niche industries to expand into the Chinese market directly.

Welcome to The Banana Split Project, where I collect stories from Western Asians - so-called "bananas" - coming back to Asia! My name is Viviane Salin, I am French with a Chinese/Indonesian heritage, I've lived in Singapore since 2006, and this is my first episode in English. So far I've had 8 episodes in French with French Asians living in Singapore. Today, I am very happy to discuss Western Asian history and identity with Will Fan, who was born and bred in Sydney, graduated in the US, and lived in Dubai and Shanghai before settling down in Singapore 5 years ago. His parents came from Macau and Vietnam, and worked hard to give him the best chances to succeed later in life. Will is a typical example of a successful son of Asian immigrants, who left their country to look for a better future, escaped a war-torn country and built a new life in a Western country, in this case Australia, while other parts of the family went to the US. He went to Singapore for business opportunity and co-founded New Campus, a lifelong learning company. Together we will talk about his parents' journey, his youth in Sydney, but also casual racism in Australia. We'll explore Westernized Asians' multiple identities, what it is to be an Asian expat in Asia, and why it is important to share our culture and vision now. Listen, and give me your feedback: viviane@bananasplitproject.com For more info, and to see photo/video of our guests, follow our Facebook and Instagram, and visit www.bananasplitproject.com. I am also looking for more testimonials, so if you are a "banana" living in Asia, and feel you have a story to share, please reach out to me!
We loved this dark twisted book! BOOK BLURBS…. “A dark, delicious tale that will creep its way into your brain and leave you examining your own soul for signs of moral rot. I downed it in one greedy shot.” —Jade Chang, author of The Wangs vs. the World and “Tiffany Tsao’s visceral debut…reads a bit like Crazy Rich Asians if the book began with familicide instead of romance. . . Why not start off the new year with the perfect tear-it-all-down read?” —CrimeReads “In this riveting tale about the secrets and betrayals that can accompany exorbitant wealth, two sisters from a Chinese-Indonesian family grapple with the past after one of them poisons their entire family. Gwendolyn and Estella have always been as close as sisters can be. Growing up in a wealthy, eminent, and sometimes deceitful family, they’ve relied on each other for support and confidence. But now Gwendolyn is lying in a coma, the sole survivor of Estella’s poisoning of their whole clan. As Gwendolyn struggles to regain consciousness, she desperately retraces her memories, trying to uncover the moment that led to this shocking and brutal act. Was it her sister’s husbands abusive ways? Were the shifting loyalties and unspoken resentments at the heart of their opulent world too much to bear? Can Gwendolyn, at last, confront the carefully buried mysteries in their family’s past and the truth about who she and her sister really are?”….summary courtesy of Goodreads.

In this first episode of 2019, we're back — and ready with our hot takes! We discuss the first round of presidential debates between candidates Joko Widodo and Prabowo Subianto, with their respective running mates Ma'ruf Amin and Sandiaga Uno. This first round of debates tackled issues of human rights, corruption, the law, and terrorism — but you wouldn't have guessed it from the reactions of most viewers, including us, who thought the debate was lackluster, gimmicky, and dramatic for the wrong reasons. We chat about how Sandi was probably the big winner of the night and how Ma'ruf Amin needs to improve his debating skills before he can match Sandi and Prabowo and do Jokowi justice. We also provide a quick update on the release of Basuki Tjahaja Purnama, better known as Ahok (although he now prefers to be called by his proper name or BTP instead of his Chinese-Indonesian moniker), after nearly two years in prison because of blasphemy charges. The former governor of Jakarta is expected to be released without much fanfare and is unlikely to participate in Indonesian politics or anything involving the presidential elections. There have been reports that BTP will be speaking in various engagements outside the country after his release.

In this episode, Swedian talks with Stanley Widianto, a young Chinese-Indonesian freelance journalist who has written for publications such as The Guardian, South China Morning Post, Tirto, Tempo, among other publications. We chat about Stanley’s journey into becoming a journalist and the careful & reflective perspectives he has cultivated in his writing. We discuss two of Stanley’s pieces in depth:Seorang Non-Pribumi Menulis Kolom Ini” or “A Non-Indigenous Indonesian Wrote This Column,” and “The day my Chinese dad was declared a ‘bona fide’ Indonesian and given a new name.” Listeners, we encourage to read these two pieces before listening to this episode, so that you have a sense of what Stanley’s talking about and wrote about. We have links to these two articles on our website, www.dialogika.id, on the page for this episode. Finally, we wrap up with Stanley’s carefully, skeptically optimistic thoughts about Chinese-Indonesians in this current political climate and how to reconcile & recognize the legacy of the past in contending the future.
In this episode — on the week of the 19th anniversary of the May 1998 riots — we talk with our long-time academic crush Dr. Jemma Purdey of Monash University, author of Anti-Chinese Violence in Indonesia, 1996-1999 and co-host of the Talking Indonesia podcast. She helped us unpack what really happened leading up to the May 1998 riots, which killed over 2000 people and led to the rape of 152 Chinese-Indonesian women. We discuss how this event was not due to organic, spontaneous anger but rather was engineered based on ‘stable’ racism against Chinese-Indonesians. We also talked about Indonesia’s history of racism against ethnic Chinese-Indonesians, the impact it has had on national economics and its lasting effects on the psyche of the Chinese-Indonesian community. In light of Ahok’s recent jail sentence, we discuss the current rising anti-Chinese sentiments, and finally, we end on a hopeful note that Indonesia’s maturing civil society and young democracy has grown enough that we can not only start to talk about the reality of what happened in May 1998, but also prevent it from happening again in the future. AN IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT! We will be taking a break to refocus our energy on lining up better interviews, stories, and sound engineering. For any of you who are interested in becoming more involved, we’d love to have you onboard as field producers/researchers/any role you’d be interested in. Email us at dialogikapodcast@gmail.com or message us on Facebook! We’re looking forward to being back in a few weeks!
In this episode, we have Stephanie and her close friend (and fellow Chinese-Indonesian woman) Skolastika "Tika" Lupitawina discuss the recent rise in anti-Chinese sentiments and rhetoric due to the mass protest on November 4th against the Christian Chinese-Indonesian governor of Jakarta, Basuki Tjahaja Purnama, or more commonly known as Ahok. We break down the reasons why Chinese-Indonesians are feeling anxious, including the brutal history of violence & discrimination against the Chinese in Indonesia, and debunk the myth of structural/institutional racism perpetrated by Chinese-Indonesians against native Indonesians.

更多内容参看今天的微信头条~The book was written by Nancy and Len Tsou, a couple from Taiwan who are long-time residents in the United States. According to Len, what prompted these two non-historians to embark on a 20-year research journey was a documentary. “20 years ago, we watched the Good Fight, a documentary about the volunteers in the Spanish Civil War. We were astonished by the fact that 40,000 people from 50 different countries would fight for people from another nation, just because they all had the same faith. We were wondering if there were Chinese volunteers as well. After doing some research, we found three Chinese-sounding names on the list of international volunteers in the war. At that moment, we decided to find them and tell their stories. ”Len says curiosity was the main impetus in the beginning, but now, curiosity has given way to responsibility. “With such significant people and events behind the history, we think it is our duty to write the stories down and let the world know what really happened at that time.”In the next 20 years, they traveled all over the world to do the research and tried to find the related people. Nancy says although the searching process was hard, they could never stop it. “We spent all our evenings, weekends and vacations on the research. We couldn't afford to waste any minute because those survivors were not getting any younger. If we didn't act fast, their stories might never be told.”The couple's hard work paid off, bringing them pleasant surprises along the way. “In 1988, I took part in the commemoration of the 50th anniversary of the Spanish Civil War's victory. A veteran told me his doctor was a Chinese man back in the wartime. I could not believe it, so I went to his home. It turned out that the doctor was Bi Daowen, a Chinese-Indonesian, and he happened to be one of the three Chinese names we found in the beginning.”Aside from Bi, the couple also succeeded in finding Chen Wenrao, Zhang Ji, Xie Weijin and 12 other Chinese volunteers.Talking about the purpose of their endeavor, Len got a bit emotional. “Chinese people had this image abroad that they only cared about themselves. We felt it every day in the U.S. Sometimes, I was wondering whether we were born like that. Doing this research helped me to see that it wasn't the case. Thousands of Chinese people participated in the Independence War of Cuba and the October Revolution, and none of them was a deserter. Whenever we found a story like that, we became even more proud of being Chinese.”Stories of Chinese people who served abroad were not the only thing Nancy and Len Tsou found during the searching process. They also discovered the stories of Dr. Janto Kaneti and Dr. Rolf Becker, who served in China until the end of World War II. “These doctors came to help. The condition in China back then was way worse than that of Spain, but they came anyway. We want to thank them. It is a bit late, but it is something we have to do. It is never only about Chinese people. We are the world.”This year marks the 70th anniversary of the victory of the anti-fascist war. An updated version of Nancy and Len's book will be published with more stories and information. The Tsous want to share their hopes, frustrations and the joy of human encounters rekindling fond memories and unshakable ideals. As they say, the history cannot be forgotten, and neither can those people.
