Title : Journey to Happy Land
Medium : Oil Pastel on paper
Size: A2
2009
Current owner : @richard simon
Everyone have their own version of happy land. This thought or emotion happens randomly. It could be because of time, certain situation, surrounding environment or “just because”. So they do a journey to a certain goal that they set.
The green character depicted without arms is a representation of people that feels, think that they are missing something in their life. (It can be anything, nothing in specific). Most of the time they looking for that feeling of joy, happiness, achievement or a sense of fulfillment. During this time is where the doubt, excitement, paranoid kicks in and that's why he’s walk with a slouch with eyes open.
The smiling creatures or monsters on the sides is a representation of people around. Some will give encouragement or support, some will say good things in front and bad things at the back. But most of the time they will just look and thats about it. Your journey is their entertainment.
The road or path is colored in yellow is an adaptation of “the yellow brick road from the wizard of oz” that brings a meaning the road to success or happiness..
The jack in a box “Swindler, cheater” is a representation of the challenges that usually happen along the way, when a person is in search of their happy land.
This whole painting are basically everyone’s journey in life. You can’t see the goal here because (its a personal “something” to everyone, not all of us have the same happyland” but the “journey” that’s the most important part of life.

Bahasa pasar/ sembarang sabah.
Semua orang ada angan-angan/ mimpi/ impian pasal dorang punya tempat/ keadaan hidup yang best. Ni fikiran pandai datang tiba-tiba. Mungkin pasal ada barang yang jadi dalam hidup dorang, mungkin pasal keadaan keliling dorang atau sengaja mau cuba. Jadi mulalah diorang mencari jawapan.
Tu orang hijau tiada tangan macam perumpamaan orang-orang yang rasa, fikir yang dorang ada kekurangan dalam hidup. (Ni boleh jadi apa saja, tiada 1 jenis jawapan). Biasa dia, yang kana cari tu perasaan gembira, semangat, pencapaian atau kepuasan. Ni masa lah datang tu perasaan/ fikiran tidak yakin, telebih semangat, fikir yang bukan-bukan (Ni kali maksud paranoid yang simple). Pasal tu dia jalan bongkok trus mata dia tingu-tingu. (ni yg part paranoid. Takut salah, takut orang cakap bukan-bukan.. macam-macam lah)..
Yang monster senyum-senyum di siring tu umpama orang sekeliling. (yang dekat kah yang jauh kah). Ada yang tolong, support. Ada yang cakap bagus-bagus di depan tapi kasi buruk-buruk di belakang. Biasa dia ada saja yang tingu tu biarpun ko tidak tau (macam drama tv).
Tu jalan warna kuning kana guna reference “the yellow brick road “jalan batu warna kuning” dalam wayang wizzard of oz). Maksud ni ayat jalan kejayaan atau kegembiraan.
Di depan tu jalan ada clown dalam kotak “Jack in a box”. Maksud jack in a box ni orang yang menipu. Dia jual kotak kosong sama orang yang beli barang. Jadi dalam ni perjalanan mau sampai tu “happy land” ada saja cabaran.
Jadi ni lukisan cerita dia pasal semua orang punya perjalanan hidup dalam mencari erti. Dia punya hujung tiada dalam ni lukisan sebab lain orang lain yand dia cari. Tapi perjalanan, pengalaman mo kasi sampai, itu yang paling mahal.
kali old version 在 Dr Soo Wincci 蘇盈之 Facebook 的最讚貼文
Took a huge decision in 2017 to leave everything back home during one of the peak of my career and gotten an offer from my dream music school @berkleevalenciacampus to reinvent myself from performing to production. Honestly it was hard for me as it's a sector surrounded majority by guys and I had very poor technical skills or knowledge. On the other hand I knew that I didn't want to just get stuck forever as an artist as the real game changer is to reinvent to become a new version of female producer cum artist. Hence, I decided to cut my hair short and come down to learn together with all the guys. Remember every peak is just a start of something new and if u respect the industry plz don't simply jump but instead come down and go up step by step again ! Also don't just stand still to wait for luck with old ingredient as the world is changing !
还记得2017年,在我事业的一个高峰点,我选择了抛开一切,去到我的梦寐以求的音乐学院去念音乐科技与制作。说真的,当时对我来说真的难,因为之前都是修表演系,而且这个科系都是男生比较多。可是自己非常清楚艺人是有局限的,所以如果要掌握更多一定要懂制作。当时,就决定狠下心把头发剪短,从低学起,记得每个高峰只是另一个起点,还有如果你尊重每一个行业的话,千万不要一步登天,每次一定要从零一步一脚印去磨,还有不要只是原地踏步或用旧的材料去等机会因为世界每天都在变了!
Masihku ingat tahun 2017, masa itu merupakan satu detik yg tinggi dlm kareer Wincci, namun Wincci pilih utk tinggalkan semua dan pergi belajar muzik produksi. Memang sukar buat Wincci sebab dulu semua yg belajar adalah tentang persembahan dan ilmu teknikal Wincci memang teruk. Pada masa yg sama, Wincci faham bahawa Artis mempunyai had tertentu dlm industri terutamanya pada zaman teknologi sekarang. Jadi kuncinya adalah utk belajar produksi dan teknologi dengan tambahan atas Sebagai seorang Artis. Dengan itu, Wincci potong rambut lalu turun padang dengan semua lelaki utk turut saling belajar. Walau lebih lambat berbanding dengan lelaki, Wincci paksa sendiri agar setiap Hari belajar sampai 16 jam dalam studio , sampai Hari ini Wincci masih belajar. Ingat ya, jika anda hormati industri, kenalah mula Daripada bawah setiap kali dan jangan sesekali lompat. Selain itu, jangan hanya menanti peluang dengan bahan yg lama dan setiap puncak hanyalah satu permulaan yg baru utk puncak yg seterusnya !
