In Memory of Stephen Gately 76 - 09

GoodbyeStephen Gately

I heard on radio yesterday that Stephen Gately passed away..... For those who don't know him, he's one of the Boyzone members. Most girls swoon over Ronan Keating but I remember arguing with my classmates that Stephen looked better.... Flawless skin and innocent boy next door look. In 1999 he admitted that he was gay..... That did upset me but despite being gay, he still has the kindest smile and cheerful face that makes you want to know him better..But what upset me most is that he died in his sleep few days ago... due to accumulation of fluid in his lungs..... How could one die in his sleep at such a young age ( 33 yrs old. Even sleeping has become a dangerous activity these days....

Anyhow.... Stephen will be greatly missed in this world...I hope Boyzone could still go on cos if Stephen is watching them from afar, he would certainly want them to continue making beautiful music... in his memory.

I Look To You

Here's a song that hasn't failed (so far) to make me shed a tear (or more) everytime I listen to it...Whitney Houston's back with this really touching song...

I Look To YOu
As I lay me down
Heaven hear me now
Im lost without a cause
After giving it my all

Winter storms have come
And darkened my sun
After all that I've been through
Who on earth can I turn to

I look to you
I look to you

After all my strength is gone
In you I can be strong

I look to you
I look to you

Yeah

And when melodies are gone
In you I hear a song

I look to you

After losing my breath
There's no more fighting left
Sinking to rise no more
Searching for that open door

And every road that I've taken
Lead to my regret
And I don't know if Im gonna make it
Nothing to do but lift my head

I look to you
I look to you

Yeah

And when all my strength is gone
In you I can be strong

I look to you
I look to you

Oh yeah

And when melodies are gone
In you I hear a song

I look to you


(my levies have broken, my walls have come)

Coming down on me

(crumbling down on me)

All the rain is falling

(the rain is falling, defeat is calling)

Set me free

(i need you to set me free)

Take me far away from the battle
I need you
Shine on me

I look to you
I look to you

After all my strength has gone
in you I can be strong

I look to you
I look to you

and when melodies are gone
In you I hear a song

I look to you

yeah

I look to you
oooooooh
I look to you

Some motivation.......An Evening With A Wise Man

Today after dinner, I had a real good chat with a wiseman, my dear's Dad. Two hours plus of motivation free of charge in the comfort of my home! Here are some things I learned from that I find very true..... so gotta post it here before it slips my mind one day...

Job- related points to ponder....

1. How to live the rest of your life not working but still earning?

Answer: Convert your job into your hobby... That way you wont have to work a single day but still earn a living!


2. War Strategy of Tsun Szu ( hope I spelt it right)

How to get your soldiers to fight with all their might and strength?

Send them to war and burn all their ships ( so they have to fight for survival)

3. Respect is not demanded but earned

4. Be kind to your subordinates...happy staff= more productive work cos they do their work willingly instead of being forced.

5. Empathize rather than sympathize

6. Be of assistance to your boss... When there is work to be done, volunteer... dont run away. What do you gain? Extra work via volunteerism = Challenge+ Knowledge+ Skill + Favour

7. Tong kai kau malau (Literally means "kill chicken to teach monkey", in Cantonese)
Means that one needs to use an example to teach others and that example must be something the learner can identify with. So where does the monkey and chicken fit in the story? Well, to explain to the monkey how you are going to kill him, you need to demonstrate to demonstrate the same method on another animal. If you demonstrate on the monkey itself, he will never know how he died cos he's already dead.


On Parenting

1. Do not instill fear cos fear stops the brain from learning

2. Over protected kids turn out rebellious or naive

3. Use reverse psychology



Okie... it's late and time to recharge my batteries... so Good night .....
