Through this work of making, researching, theorizing. I have come to understand that the Best Memories: Childhood happy recollection is about me as much as the perception of the Hong Kong Kidult in 70’s, and my own work to reclaim and represent concepts of knowledge and art in the world. Last but not least, I hope this artwork will have some visual messages to you, and all the people around the world.

Description:
As the computer be the necessary tool in the diary life. I find that we need to key in a couple of Login name / Password to ensure that we are in the right system and right position. For example: Key in the Login number to enter the college. Enter the Login name / password to the personal computer in college. Also, use the copy machine. I need to enter my own key......etc.
Although, good computer system make the office environment getting better and better, but some typical error always happen in office routine. I have a worst experience is that I forget my new password (because it needs to change the number combination every half year). At last, I use almost two days to sort out this error. I agree it is the nightmare in my life.
Therefore, it strike me feel interest to investigate the Art Project that is relate to my routine life. The topic as below: What make us Happy?
