Chapter 10: Right attitude towards fame

Written on May 2008



I don’t understand why the worldly people are so lost… The people are living the same lifestyle everyday… No purpose in their life. Life is not like that! I found out some basic truth in this new generation.










All of the youths (even some kids) have one thing in common: the fame.
Even the quiet ones… People may think they are different because they keep their profile low. But I tell you the truth, God knows their hearts. Though they didn’t show off, they want to…

However, this life cycle keeps on repeating the same direction. Somehow it has added some false teachings inside this generation. In Year 2008, the world has introduced the false teachings through MEDIA.
____________________________

1st: Violence: anything to do with evil.












Nowadays, the movies are all about evil spirits, witchcraft, monsters, murders, wars… BUT there is nothing about God. Some movies are misusing the name of the Lord. The people (even kids) follow the acts of the movies even though they know it is wrong!

Why? It is because they wanna be “extraordinary”.
It is the fame that they are achieving for. I tell you the truth, these people will suffer for the consequence of eternal FIRE of hell.
____________________________

2nd: Idleness: anything that makes them lazy.








Those kids who do not come to Sunday school, those youths who do not come for the youth gathering… I say this to you, “Because of your craze of video game and internet, you will never be good. You chose the wrong things in your life. What can these things bring you? Wealth? Health? What can you learn from the games? Violence? Sex? Magic? Murders? You all lack of WISDOM!”

Those kids and youths who waste their time hanging outside the streets and do nothing… I say this to you, “Because of your idleness, you will never be successful. You wasted your time acting stupid. What can you do outside the streets? Tea fellowship? Looking at girls? Acting cool? You are just like the monkeys on the trees looking for free bananas.”

People live their life without God… it makes no sense at all. No purpose in their life. In school, they will only talk about girls, sex, and video games. And they thought they are the REAL mature people. YOU FOOLS! You are actually created for God’s glory! That’s our meaning of life!

Why? It is because they wanna be “extraordinary”. It is the fame that they are achieving for. They will forever be folly in their own eyes unless they see God in their life.
_______________________________

3rd, Pessimistic thoughts: anything to do with downcast.







Youths are stupid beings though very strong and energetic. They follow what the world is telling them. “Eat!”, then they eat. “Die!”, then they die. I saw ridiculous youths who think themselves are very MATURE. That is why EMO is being introduced to the world. BUT there is nothing about God! They will purposely hurt themselves by cutting their hands, seeing blood and sense no feeling. They will say something stupid like “No one will understand how I felt.”


“Your case is simple, my case is the real worst!”,

“No one loves me. No one cares for me.”

Why? It is because they wanna attract people’s attention


Though their stupid words say, “I am not doing this for people’s attentions.” I will say, “Yes! You are…!” It is the fame that they are achieving for.
WAKE UP! Come to church! Come to Jesus Christ! And you will know what LOVE is all about.
_________________________________

4th: Wild romance: anything to do with sex.







Youths wanna go for the courtship because of sex. The movies tell them so. So they follow… I know youths will oppress and say, “Who says so? I am not that kind of person.”



If those youths are looking forward for MARRIAGE and start to cultivate the financial ability, and save the best VIRGIN for their future wife. I will say, “You are the REAL man!” This goes the same for the girls. Take this advice. This ROMANCE will last forever.

If those youths are looking forward for changing courtship (as if changing shirts) and compete with one another about who has sex the most, I will say, “You are a REAL dog.” Dogs do that all the time. Look at those dogs on the street! Observe their movement. You are just like those animals! What’s the difference between those dogs and you, having sex with others?

If those youths are looking forward for courtship because their peers have boy or girlfriend, I will say, “You are the REAL copycat.” You will never appreciate the girl whom you court.Unless you court her because of your love, and not because of your peer pressure, then I will say, “You need to be a REAL man now! Be responsible to your loved one.”

Why wild romance? It is because they wanna be “extraordinary”. It is because of fame.
Do not make ourselves like animals. We are created by God, and have highly characters. Sex is HOLY in God’s eyes! That’s the gift of God to those men who are married.
___________________________________

Last: Rudeness: anything that create dissensions.









Youths and kids in this generation have no manner at all. They love filthy languages… They love to scold people, yet they hate people scolding them. Stupid, isn’t it?
What can you learn from filthy languages? Anger? Sadness? Broken relationships? The way they speak is totally rude to adults. They bring unnecessary dissensions and conflicts in this world. They bring disappointment to their family and bad influences to their peers.



For the sake of Jesus, I do not do it. They should have been beaten up by me and lying in hospital. They thought they are “extraordinary”? I will say this, “YOU KIDS! You are all who just make people disappointed and angry!”

They always love to think, “Why do people control my freedom?”
Again, I say this is not freedom. This is SIN! Your wrong thoughts lead you to hell, fellows!

They always love to think, “I am who I am. Accept me! I am like that… So…?”
That is why I will say they are stupid and arrogant. Your wrong intelligence leads you to foolishness.

They always love to think, “I will never change! I did nothing wrong at all”
Hence, I say those kids never gain favor in God’s eyes. Those kids gain curses for themselves.

They always love to think, “Who is God? As if I scare God… Wow! I scare…”
Boldly, I will say, “You will face DEATH till eternity unless you repent and receive Christ!”
_________________________________________________________

As for me, my attitude towards my fame is for the Glory of God. Jack’s Stuff is created for Jesus Christ only.

My purpose of life is seeking the Glory of God. And this is the purpose of life for every one of us in this world. This is the only thing that the world does not introduce: the Glory of God. That is why God’s Glory will be revealed in the life of CHURCHES. COme and join our worship in churches.

God, here I am. Use me for Your Glory! Amen!

Chapter 9: Where are you?

Written on April 2008













“Where are you, Jack’s Stuff?” many asked.

I had been away from Tawau for two weeks since 1 April. I had gone for YPS training to enhance my leadership stronger. Within these two weeks, I receive lots of encouragements and care from my good friends. When I think it back, Jesus is always good. It is because Jesus gives me REAL friends.

I slowly began to find that my natural smile View more is fixing back piece by piece.
I know one day, it will be made whole in Jesus again.











When I returned after two weeks, I received lots of greetings and regards.

1) Youtube subscribers and friends Mostly, they are expecting a new CWalk video, and even my composed song MTV. They are my great supporters and my great encouragers.


They were all asking me whether I will be going to visit them in future.
This is so wonderful! Friendship really moves the life of men.“Jack’s Stuff, we support you all the way!”

And I wanna give thanks to the FSN friends. They are such a lovely group. The video is dedicated to Jack’s Stuff. Check this link below.


FSN Shuffle for Jack's Stuff


2) St Patrick’s Youth
They were saying that when I was away for two weeks, the youth gathering was a bit weird. However, they were asking me when I will be back. Jennica is also one of them. That really warms my heart. I love my youths too. When I returned, I can see their REAL happiness on their faces. They were greeting me and talking to me about their life. I believe God had used me to bless their life. And I gain much trust in them. Thanks be to God!













3) Msn Friends
I was so surprised when I start to get online. I saw so many messages. The friends are asking me where I’d gone. They were all concerning about my life. They are very excited to get the Jack’s Stuff T Shirts. I can never know that they are so keen to have the Jack’s Stuff T Shirts. And the funniest thing is that they will meet all of us and wear the T Shirts together. I thank God for His goodness. Jack’s Stuff is for Glory of God.


All these goodness are from God, to God and for God. Let all glory, honor and praise be to our Lord, Jesus Christ. He is such a great and wonderful God.

Chapter 8: Red

Written on March 2008












“Why is your face red?” the people asked me.
“Well, I believe this is a wonderful creation of God.” I answered.

I, Jack’s Stuff has a special feature which not everyone has it.People give me a nick – Jack the Apple, Jack the Red, Jack the rose cheek... whatever…


I have a red face. Since the day I was born, my face is born to be like that. I had heard thousands of times from people, saying, “Why is your face red?”

To me, at first, I found it really annoying. It’s because I find it REAL ugly. The reddish face without any itchiness just looks blemish… People around me are normal, I am abnormal…

However, right now, I think differently. I think I am UNIQUE… No one has it, I have it. I feel proud about it.

Somehow I am allergy to Sunlight, Super Spicy food, Seafood… High temperature of hotness and Low temperature of coldness.

When any of these matters happened to me, people will notice my face very obviously! It is TOO RED! Like an Red Apple! People will surely notice it! Ha ha… Especially after my exercise, people will say, “Jack, your face!!! WOW!!! ”

People easily identify my emotions. They can roughly know what had happened to me. When I am sad, when I am happy, when I am excited, when I am panic, when I am angry… My red face will tell everything.

So I guess for those who read Jack’s Stuff blog, and they meet me in person, they will not ask me the same question again.

Chapter 7: S500i Sony Ericsson

Written on 25 February 2008













On 15 – 22 February 2008, I went to KK and Labuan for Holidays. At the same time, I wanna get my Jack’s Stuff T Shirts. On 17 February 2008, Benjamin and Chris (C Walkers) were asking me out for lunch in Delifrance at Warisan Square (nearby Centerpoint). Benjamin asked me to teach him how to use the Sony Vegas 7 (Movie editing software) , while Chris was getting C Walk songs from my S500i phone. We were very close to each other because the table was so small for us.

Warisan Square, Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, Malaysia









While I was teaching Benjamin, I found out that my phone was LOST! We were searching the place high and low for several times. Then a waitress came to us saying that there was a Filipino standing besides us just few minutes ago. Chris began to scold the waitress for not informing us earlier. Then Benjamin was angry, saying “He is a Filipino, and we are Chinese. Obviously, we are not the same at all. We are not friends! And we didn’t come in the café together.”

The funniest thing is that the waitress replied, “I saw him taking your phone away…”












Without finishing the sentence, Chris shouted, “YOU SHOULD HAVE TOLD US EARLIER!” After knowing the details of how Filipino dressed, Chris and Benjamin immediately called out his friends and went out to find the Filipino. I was left alone in the café and thinking about the whole matter.

We were in the café. There were many people around us. The Filipino was so daring to enter a place to steal my phone. The phone was just right in front of me, and yet all of us didn’t even notice any movement of theft. Indeed, that guy is a great pickpocket.

The waitresses in the café came to apologize to me for not informing us earlier. They expected to receive an insane scolding from me. However, I didn’t scold them. I was so CALM! I smiled to them in return, saying, “It’s ok. What is gone, it’s gone. It will never return. Let it be.”









I began to think of some moral values in this matter:

1) When you got problems, and people around you had known your problems, they will stay away from it. They saw the pickpocket, but they remain silent. This is sin of nature - Selfishness.

2) It’s useless to be angry when anything had already happened. Why not we think of a brighter way and think positively? It’s just a phone. We can buy a new one. Furthermore, my God, Jesus is indeed a God of blessings. Amen!

3) Jesus really knows that I want to change a new phone. S500i isn’t my best choice. I want the latest Sony Ericsson Shaky Phone (W580i).

4) Since my phone was gone, that Filipino was in sin. I prayed that God will forgive him for he did not know what he was doing. I prayed that God’s mercy and grace will fall upon that guy. Even though Benjamin and Chris found that pickpocket, I will not hate him. I will not give him BLUE EYES too. I rather share the gospel of Jesus to him.









The waitresses and the people were astonished by my smile and calmness. I just thought in my mind, “Jesus is my good God. He will bless me always.” While I was praying for that Filipino, I felt that Jesus says I did a right thing. And I sense a strong mercy from Jesus because I love and forgive that guy.

Jesus loves us and forgives us though we sin against Him. What a Great God! I just prayed that Filipino will turn into a Christian and stay away from evil desires. And sin no more…











In conclusion, though Benjamin and Chris could not find that Filipino, Jesus blessed me with a Sony Ericsson Shaky Phone. They were so surprised that Jesus is indeed a God of blessings. And they said one thing to me, “Jack, you are so cool. You can be so calm. How did you do it?”
It is because my life is in the hands of Jesus.

Chapter 6: Malaysia C Walk Legend

Written on February 2008



I think when people heard about Jack’s Stuff. Mostly, they will recall about music, MTV, photography… and CWALK! There was one time that Benjamin and I went to Centerpoint, KK. He heard some people looking at me, saying “Look! The CWalk guy!”, “Jack’s Stuff!”, “CWalk!”
















The Crip Walk, or C-Walk, is a steady movement of the feet used to spell out gang-related symbols and images. It originated in the early 1970s in Compton, a poor suburb of Los Angeles, California, popularly referenced in rap lyrics. What began as a symbolic movement of the feet in the early 1980s, soon inspired a hip-hop dance in the late 1990s. This style of dance today is known as the Crip Walk.

A common practice for Crip members is to use the C-Walk to celebrate the initiation of a new member. It is also largely believed that the C-Walk was used as a warning to other gangs of a future attack by the Crips, or as a signal in a robbery. For example, the lookout would stand outside of the store and act as surveillance, while the robbers would lay in wait and await the signal: the C-Walk. Allegedly, Crips would also C-Walk after shooting or killing a rival gang memberin celebration.

The Clown Walk (also known as the C-Walk) refers to a modern dance style, usually done to hip hop music. It is a variation of the Crip walk, a gang related dance. Clown Walking, however, was created to distance the relationship between the dance style and the Crips gang. Another variation of Clown Walking is Crown walking, which focuses mostly on flow rather than speed and flash.
_______________________________


Why do I still CWalk then? There are a lot of people who complain and rebuke me for CWalk culture… I don’t care how they think. I do it in a right way. CWalk is for passion and fun.

Everyone must believe one truth. All creations come from Jesus, even CWalk! I am saying to the Christians now. Remember! All Creations worship Jesus. Amen.

I don’t adapt in the Gangster culture, or anything evil. I just wanted to CWalk for the Glory of God.










How does it happen that I started my CWalk?
I know a dance called Shuffle. Tono is one of my youths in Labuan. Currently, he studies in Singapore. Before he left for studies, he showed me Shuffle dance in youtube because he is a shuffler. If you type “Shuffle Malaysia” in youtube, you will know how it looks like. After watching the shuffle, Tono saw a video named “CWalk”. Then he checked on the video. That’s how I get to know CWalk in the first place.












Tono said that CWalk is really cool. And many people had failed to CWalk because the footworks are very complicated. He himself is a shuffler, but he prefers CWalk. Then I asked him a question, “Anyone does CWalk in Malaysia?” He replied, “No… I see no video of Malaysia CWalk in youtube.”

In my mind, I prayed to Jesus, “Lord, I want this CWalk to be a legend in Malaysia.

Let me be the first one who starts a video about CWalk Legend in Malaysia. Let me be the light of the world through CWalk. I wanna make a difference and glorify Your Holy name through CWalk.”

I said to Tono that I would like to try CWalk. He said this to me, “Jack, this is going to be tough. It takes a long time to master it.” Then I said to Jesus, “By one month, I will master the footwork of CWalk in the name of Jesus. May the Lord help me!”

I know one day in Malaysia, CWalk will be very famous. Many people will start to CWalk. If I don’t start CWalking now, it would be too late to catch up with the new generation. After that one month, I went to a new place called Tawau. In Tawau, no one knows about CWalk. I did my CWalk practices where no one was around. Accidentally, someone saw my CWalk. And that’s how the people in Tawau started their CWalk journey.

Many people had known me through CWalk. They will acknowledge me as a Christian.
I am in the success of seeking the Greater Glory of God. No one understands, but Jesus is the only one who knows my heart.

Let His name be widespread throughout Malaysia in my CWalk video. His name is to be lifted up high forever! Amen!

CWalk is one of the ways of life. You must CWalk into a level where everyone can feel the groove and relaxation in your CWalk. Make sure everyone can see every step of our footwork, yet they can’t learn from seeing it. This is what I called professional CWalk. My CWalk is Crown Walk.
