Jugoisto\u010dna Azija je meni gotovo nepoznat teren. Ne znam gotovo ni\u0161ta o njihovoj istoriji, kulturi, jeziku, na\u010dinu \u017eivota. Ka\u017eem gotovo ni\u0161ta jer sam dosta toga pro\u010ditala i saznala pre i u toku na\u0161eg pute\u0161estvija po Vijetnamu, Kambod\u017ei i Tajlandu od pre par godina. Dodu\u0161e ta znanja su nekako nabacana, nema tu reda, ne postoji pravilo, nemaju svoje mesto u nekom \u0161irem kontekstu. Ne znam prosto \u0161ta bih s njima. Nekako su ta znanja beskorisna, neprimenljiva. Do\u0161la sam da \u017eivim u ovaj deo sveta koji je za mene totalna nepoznanica. Gde god smo se ranije selili imali smo neka o\u010dekivanja od zemlje u koju dolazimo. Verovali smo da znamo kako stvari u toj zemlji funkcioni\u0161u, kakve ljude i obi\u010daje mo\u017eemo o\u010dekivati na tom mestu. I na osnovu toga, ve\u0107 unapred projektovali neku sliku sebe u toj novoj sredini.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

O Singapuru nisam imala nikakvu sliku. Odgledali smo dva dokumentaraca pred polazak. Jedan istorijski, bavio se samo onim delom koji se ticao kolonijalizma i jedan o Singapuru danas. Imala sam dva velika straha pre dolaska, jedan je da \u0107e mi smetati vlaga jer sam kao dete imala hroni\u010dne probleme sa disajnim organima, a drugi su buba\u0161vame. Vlaga mi na svu sre\u0107u, sem ulepljenosti koja meni li\u010dno ne smeta, ne pravi nikakve probleme. Buba\u0161vabe jo\u0161 uvek nisam srela, opet na sre\u0107u.<\/p>

Singapur je za mene kao prazan papir koje \u010deka da bude iscrtan. Na njemu je za sada jedno kosooko stvorenje sa velikim osmehom. Autoputevi. Gomila nebodera. Oblaci. Letnje haljinice. \u0160e\u0161iri. Bazen. Tu je sada i jedna pesma Edvina Tambua.<\/p>

Pre nego \u0161to je ta pesma dospela na taj prazan papir nisam ni primetila da ne znam ni jednog jedinog pisca ili pesnika, nau\u010dnika ili umetnika sa ovog prostora. Tambu je moja prva zvezda na ovom, nekada praznom, listu.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Edvin Tambu (Edwin Thumboo) je singapurski pesnik i akademik, ro\u0111en 1933. Pisao je poeziju na engleskom i smatra se za\u010detnikom singapurske knji\u017eevnosti na engleskom jeziku. Za one koji ne znaju, engleski je jedan od \u010detiri zvani\u010dna jezika Singapura, pored malajskog, mandarinskog i tamilskog. On je i jedini jezik koji se koristi za poslovnu i pravnu komunikaciju, iako procentualno 20% stanovni\u0161tva ne pri\u010da engleski. Njegove pesme su \u010desto inspirisane starim mitovima i legendama. Poznat je i po svojim rodoljubivim pesmama.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Tambu je sasvim slu\u010dajno u\u0161ao u moj svet tokom jedne subotnje \u0161etnje. I to sve zahvaljuju\u0107i Singapur\u0107anima koji vole da stavljaju informativne table pored gotovo svakog objekta. Nedaleko od panoramskog to\u010dka, o kojem sam pisala u pro\u0161lom postu<\/a>, nalazi se pe\u0161a\u010dki most Spirala (The Helix Bridge). Struktura spirale je projektovana tako da imitira strukturu DNK. U plo\u010dnike su ugra\u0111ena slova u parovima c i g, a i t, koja predstavljaju \u010detiri baze DNK lanca: citozin, guanin, adenin i timin. Ka\u017eu da ta slova svetle u mraku, no mi smo \u0161etali mostom do sada samo danju te to nismo videli. Struktura je sagra\u0111ena 2010. godine. Pokrivena je staklenim i mre\u017enim panelima koje prave senku i istovremeno \u0161tite od ki\u0161e. Ima nekoliko vidikovaca koji gledaju na poslovni centar. Most je sam po sebi izuzetno lep, no ono \u0161to ga \u010dini toliko posebnim je upravo Tambuova pesma koja celoj strukturi daje jo\u0161 jednu dimenziju.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Double Helix<\/h4>

Edwin Thumboo<\/h5>

Spun in curving steel, you stride
Millennia carrying the sum of human history;
Arch back into beginnings, then loop ahead,
Powering ancestral visions, urban dreams.
Strung blue and red, your ruling molecules
Encode our destiny from ancient caves
To river-places: the Huang ho, Indus, Nile;
And great cities attempting stars.<\/p>

As metaphor, you untie possibilities.
Brewing mind, imagination, heart and muscle.
Till they flex and fret and brood, invent and soar,
Deleting darkness with infinite light, now bountiful
With a child\u2019s delight. The young push sadness back,
Put loving smiles and laughter into other lives.
Come share the landscape, re-draw it spontaneously,
In seven colors, to make a modern homeland.<\/p>

Flying cars, people with propellers, some compute.
Hands of the Nation linked over a Garden City
Where circuits of a micro chip transform into a maze.
Line and circle steer unity and rhythm, and hexagons
of well-lit hearts are final links of fact and feeling.
All this was in the rolling echoes of your lion\u2019s roar,
Sang Nila. Much has changed. See what guards
The river\u2019s mouth, what marks the shore you saw.<\/p>

So walk this Double Helix, point to point.
Recall its Science but see its Art articulate life
Surrounding life, as waters lap either side,
As skies unfold our destiny, inscribe benedictions
For us, for all.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Kada pro\u010ditate pesmu i krenete u \u0161etnju preko mosta, svaki va\u0161 korak dobija jednu novu dimenziju. \u0160etnja postaje mnogo vi\u0161e od pustog kora\u010danja. Vi postajete deo singapurske istorije. O\u010devidac njegovog napretka i rasta. Vi ste svedoci nastajanja jednog novog, modernog, legendarnog grada. Jednog od onih par odabranih, koji \u0107e dose\u0107i zvezde. Vi ste deo njegove strukture, upisani u njegov DNK. Povezani sa svim njegovim precima. Va\u0161 trag \u0107e ostati u budu\u0107im pokolenjima. Taj most prestaje da bude puka gra\u0111evina i prerasta u umetni\u010dko delo koje govori o \u010ditavom jednom narodu i njegovom razvoju. I \u0161ire, o razvoju civilizacija. Tako\u0111e nam govori i o tome gde Singapur\u0107ani te\u017ee, \u010demu se nadaju, o kakvoj budu\u0107nosti sanjaju. Ta jedna \u0161etnja i ta jedna pesma nau\u010di\u0107e vas toliko toga o Singapuru. Otvoriti vrata jedne nove dimenzije. Posle njih ova dr\u017eava i njen narod \u010dini\u0107e vam se mnogo bli\u017eim.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Znate, kada ste kao ja, preterano stidljivi, preterano povu\u010deni, preterano samovoljno samoizolovani ovakve stvari vam mnogo zna\u010de. Zamenjuju ponekad odve\u0107 naporne \u017eive socijalne kontakte. Ovakve re\u010di i ovakve stvari me u\u010de o svetu kojem druga\u010dije ne bih znala kako da pristupim. One pune onaj beli singapurski list mnogo br\u017ee i kvalitetnije nego \u0161to bi to bilo mogu\u0107e uobi\u010dajenim putem. Uostalom, ja verujem, da svaka napisana pesma \u010dini ovaj svet mnogo romanti\u010dnijim, pomalo misti\u010dnijim i zanimljivijim mestom za \u017eivot.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
