What is happiness? Happiness is something that lies in the deepest parts of our bodies. It resides in all of us however not everyone acknowledges this. In order to be happy we must be optimistic, realize that happiness is not a materialistic item, and that it is a choice. Happiness isn’t something that someone can go out a purchase, and it is not something that only few have, it is something everyone has but not everyone recognizes. Happiness is just as much a perspective as life is, choose to be happy in order to be happy. What is happiness? It’s a choice, that we all have the power to make.

interactions, and thinking patterns with the sole aim to achieve happiness. The long 

history of people striving for happiness has 

inspired collaboration between Graphic  Comm. Design, School of the Arts, USM 

and Georgetown City (Think City) to 

initiate the Happiness Project.

Cycling in Georgetown have became popular recently. People love to walk and cycle to explore the town. Therefore, I think should increase the number of bicycle park.

I know working alone is tough in a project. And I know, this project is huge for me to handle. However, I think I can do it because I want to challenge myself in the situation of without team-ate.

Even though I am working alone in this project. But luckily I still have lecturer to correct me and show me the exact path to further. I still have my friends who willing to listen to my ideas and comment towards it. I still have my parents who help me to carry those tires and materials all the way from my hometown.

I STILL HAVE MY LOVE ONE TO SUPPORT ME=

休息，是为了走更长远的路 - A rest is a preparatory step for a longer journey ahead (proverb that translated from

Chinese). Few months ago, we were doing a finding research in Georgetown few months ago. The weather was pretty hot and the main problem is we need to walk during the whole research. I am looking a shading place where I can sit for a while and rest for my leg. But, there was no proper rest station other than expensive cafés and restaurants out there.  I was wondering, why there is no chair under the trees which is shade and free? Suddenly, idea of rest station was pop up in my mind - “Happiness not just only delicious food, luxurious stuffs, it could be just a rest.”

As we know that, rest station is a place where we can have a short break may be just drink some water, sit down and discuss with friends where to go for next station or may be just sit down and observe what is going on in surrounding. Project of “坐一下 zuo yi xia” is a non-commercialization work. It is just for the purpose for helping people to people.

Maybe I am a Chinese and I am used to this phrase "zuo yi xia" since it is a phrase that I used to speak when I want to sit down and take a rest.  Besides, I was thinking it is a good chance for me to share the phrase that Chinese used to speak with others people with different races? For me, using "zuo yi xia" killed two birds with one stone which able to transmit the message of this project and also can let others learn another new Chinese phrase. Hence, why not "zuo yi xia"?

I have learned to be flexible and changeable though out the process. In the beginning, I was decided to use plywood as my materials in making "Zuo Yi Xia". But at the end, due to time and budget problem, I substitute it with tires which is able to get in quickly and cheap.

2.The struggle that you have faced.

I was lost in the beginning when searching the problem in Georgetown which able to create HAPPINESS on it. I went there plenty of time and at last I got idea coincidentally which is REST STATION. Besides that, I am lack of time to handle HAPPINESS project because I have to run 2 big projects which is Design Management and HAPPINESS project at the same time.

3.The most memorable moments that I have gone through in this project.

Angkat tires, I realized that inner part of me can be that MASCULINE.

4. What us fun about this project and most importantly?

•Able to experience new things. •Learn to negotiate and communicate.

•Learn to ADJUST and become  FLEXIBLE.
