The Flipsides

Yes Attachment is over!

I'm really enjoying my NS life quite alot haha!
Thanks to Team D of Yishun North today that really gave me a good experience of counter duty!

But well unfortunately I'm feeling really sick now and i'm going to take MC =)

So far being a police has shown me much of the realities of Singapore....
Though i had been an MPS letter writer and had heard of much woes from citizens, this is a completely different level.

Due to OSA I shall not reveal any case information..!
Now I'm pretty confident that I can become a good NPCO and shoulder the image of SPF!

These days I can pretty much finish one book every week!
Thanks to Daniel my mentor! for introducing Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki!!
I should have read it earlier! and I'm going to introduce it to all of my friends too =)

Typically we learn that money is the root of all evil!
Yet it is also true that no money is the root of all evil too!
Irony of the 2 extremes....

Still this book will tantalize your mind if you hold the disbelief of getting a good job, high pay and be successful!
I've been trying to convince people about this idea... but this book does it better =)

At the same time, I've recognized the importance of financial literacy to all our lives! (everyone should really develop it to prevent us from been enSLAVED to money!)
Yep! I'm going to add this point to the list of things i want to change in our education policy!
Financial literacy would have been able to prevent the financial crisis if every 1 is duly equipped with it.

Well well.. this book has concertized much of the plans i've set for myself!

Okay! I'ved passed my final theory and soon i'll get my license!
In 2 months i'll be a full fledge Police Officer (with Warrent Card ^^)!

Things have been well except for my health!
I really should watch my diet now haha @.@

Stay Healthy Friends!
With Love,
Ying Quan

Happiness 快乐 =)

Surrounded by good people, having a comfortable time, pursuing a great adventure!!! ~
Most importantly indulging in melodious music every moment!

How can one not be happy everyday =)

Today seems especially special though!
It feels especially lighthearted and comfortable even as i stroll through the mundane JP.
No stress nor rush~ but only a subtle sense of joy

Maybe because its friday a bookout day?
Maybe its because I had a nice Jap dinner with my parents?
Maybe its because I've joked and praise the hawker while dining?
Maybe its because I'm going to meet some of my good friends again?
Maybe its because I've finished watching the nice Devil May Cry 4 cinematic at JP?
Maybe its because I've found new books to buy at Harris?
Maybe its because I've enjoyed my week in camp with my buddies?
Maybe its because of the Song 快乐 by Zhang Zhi Chen that is playing on my Zen?

It might be all of the reasons... or none of them at all..
Most probably the reason can only be ourselves and attitude towards life=)
One thing is for sure! This positivity and joy feels really good =)

Just being happy is becoming much of an uphill task for many people I feel...
I guess our competitive society have caused many to forget that at the end of the day~
What matters is really just being happy=)

Anything can make us happy, but we will have to broaden our minds and appreciate the beauties of it =)

Sad to say those, its too common that people for are hurting themselves rather then being happy.

Sometimes we can ask ourselves...
What's the point of competing when everyone loses?
Why strive so hard to put people down when you'll feel worst?
Why seek cheap thrills and short term gains when you know that you'll regret for sure?
Why are we trying so hard to be someone else when its so uncomfortable?

Many a times we get so pre-occupied with pursing the wrong goals, allowing the rash and egoistic nature to take over - to the extent that we lost what we have always desire... Happiness =)

We are the authors of our own life and truthfully speaking, living doesn't need to be a drag =)
You can always write a simpler story for yourself to live!
One that can easily and comfortably allow ourselves to stand confidently

This is a Chinese song that I want to share =)
Its all that to just being happy ^^
Enjoy =D

Zhan Zhi Chen - 快乐



快乐是可以分享的
快乐需要一些过程
快乐总是能被记得
因为记忆只留下美好的
何必嫌那么难人的剧本
别怪话说了太多了
我只是不要你不快乐

被爱应该是幸福的
去爱没有想象的愚蠢
想爱可以非常的单纯
因为爱全是与生俱来的
你问我怎么那么神
这些智慧该如何来获得
爱你我认识了快乐
他给我上了难得的一课

有了你开心的
也都称心满意
咸鱼白菜也好好味
我与你永共聚
分分钟需要你
你似是阳光空气

你问我怎么那么神
这些智慧该如何来获得
爱你我认识了快乐
他给我上了难得的一课

With Love YingQuan

A New Dream To Chase =)

These days its all about Kpop & Younha =)

I think my friends are saying that im crazy already LOL! (Saying Younha Rox everywhere i go)
Well really I can't help it because she is simply amazing!!
Kinda lost for words to describe her haha... All i can say is she rocks =)

Adapted from Wikipedia!

In order to accomplish her dreams, Younha began to audition within Korea. She says that she went through as many as 20 auditions. She also commented in an interview that certain companies refused to sign her to their labels because they believed she was not "pretty" enough, although she sang very well.

After a TV drama producer heard her demo tape, her single, "Yubikiri", was chosen as the insert song for the Fuji TV Monday drama Tokyo Wankei ~Destiny of Love~. In October of the same year, she released her official first single, "Yubikiri -Japanese version-".


Younha is just amazing =)!
I'm inspired by her life! Touched by her songs! Haha
Listening to her album is really just like understanding and being through part of her life!
She is Tri-Lingual! Though a South Korean, she sings japanese songs and is very fluent in English!
Plays piano very well! (i think guitar too) + Her vocals are great too!
What a wholesome package! She should be brought to international level!

Anyway here is a piece that i want to share with every one! One of my personal favorite too!

Younha -Sound of Rain (Bitsori)



Here's how good she is =)

Younha (live) - If Ain't got you (Originally by Alicia Keys)



Someday! I hope that i can meet her =)
I'll Marry Her! LOL
Well a wishful dream but its worth trying =)

Energized, Inspired, Liberated, Loved. Enjoy Younha =)

With Love

Entering The New World

Wonderful year of blessings!

I've got 14 day MC =D! from 10-22 June haha!

I guess shingles is a blessing in disguise ^^

For now I'm enjoying my itunes* especially Kpop!

Younha!! One of my favourite Kpop Artist! Young and extremely talented!



By Younha! "I love Now" =)

These days I've been learning guitar too! Thx to jason for loaning his guitar haha!
I'm practising how to switch chords @.@ From E to G, C, D and A @.@ (We'll i guess it takes time)

The atmosphere at home is still the best =)
Extra sleep =) Good food =) Extra comfort! And Own time own target training =p!
++++
Playing again with my buddies ^^

Things have changed alot since i've entered police~~
Many people around me have grown so much without my notice~~

Probably this is as such an NS life~ Not much living involved?

Lucky time is still on my side...
And yet again i've mustered my resolve once again to move forward...

Up ahead is a better NS life...
Up ahead is a better future....

There is a new world that i want to enter and i want to be in the fore front of change =)

I once told my friend that we should invest in 4 things as of now.
1) Human Capital
2) Social Network
3) Health
4) Relationship

And i guess i shall practise what i preach too =)

Rationality is just but how normal people respond to incentives
Why don't we be irrational instead and respond to what our heart says, to be unique, to shine and truly be happy.

With Love,
Ying Quan
