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.

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 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.

Chapter 5: Not an Ordinary Life

Written on 28 January

















In these few days, I had been observing how the people lived in their lives. The people had been repeating their life daily or weekly. And they were contented with it.

I felt that (in my opnion) this is not what I want. To me, this is meaningless. I do not want to live like an ordinary person – keep on repeating the daily lifestyle.

A person who always knows how to expose himself into the world will definitely find his purpose of life. As for me, I am a person who likes to learn new things and expose myself into different world.

Though we might have skills/talents (music, video, art design, cooking… etc),we at least travel around to expose into other places.

For example, I have a gift of multimedia. And I worked in a Malaysia company. Am I going to stay like that for the rest of my life which repeated the life again and again?





Daily Routine: Wake up, Breakfast, Go to work, Wait for Boss to give tasks, Do video, Lunch, Surf the net, Msn, Tea Break, Talk rumors and gossip, Time to go home, Shower, Dinner, Watch TV, Hang out with friends, sleep.

This is a waste of time. It is like a computer. Come on! We are humans. I do not want this. I wanna be an extraordinary person. A person who wanna be extraordinary will always cherish time to expose new areas (go to other countries and try lifestyle there, or find things that you never learn or expose before). This is what I called LIFE.












I have a friend. He is Benjamin. We knew each other during a English Youth Camp. After that, he was inspired by the brand “Jack’s Stuff”. And my C Walk attracted him till now. And now we are like brothers. Even his sister Yolanda is very nice to me.











He loves to cook. I believe everyone recognizes him as a good chef already. He used to launch a food stall in Kota Kinabalu (Central of Sabah, Malaysia). I heard that he earned good money. He is only 20 years old in Year 2008. As compared to the society, he is actually already a successful person. However, he closed down the food stall. And people complained that he should not close down.

Then he explained to me, “Jack, this is not the life that I want. I want to learn more and expose more into the world. I will NEVER want to stay in Malaysia forever. Though my food stall earned good money, this is not what I want. It is meaningless. I will be going to Taiwan for exposure.”

His thought is exactly the same as mine. I wanna do something greater for the Glory of God.


I want to have an extraordinary life
but not everyone will understand. I wanna do something different in church for the Glory of God.

Chapter 3: From Nothing to Something

Written on 11 January 2008


People thought that Jack’s Stuff is just a brand only,yet nothing special about this person. However, they are wrong. The person is the one who makes Jack’s Stuff extraordinary. From their comments, they said, “Wow! The logo Jack’s Stuff is cool! Who is this guy?”












At times, they were attracted by the talents of Jack’s Stuff – Photos, Songs, Dance, Video, and MTV. Please remember that this talent is only the surface of Jack’s Stuff. This is only the outer look, yet when people began to know the inner side of Jack’s Stuff, they will be even amazed. This is what I heard from outsiders.

Normally people know Jack’s Stuff through photos, music, dance, video and MTV. First, they will enjoy the fantasy. After that, they will ask a question “Who is this guy?” Then they will notice a Brand “Jack’s Stuff”. Motto is “Change your style, get the picture?” Another word will continue after viewing “Cool!”













To tell you the truth, I used to be nothing. I neither know nor study any of these – Photography, Song Composer, Video Shooting, CWalk, and Multimedia. The funniest thing is that I heard lots of rumors saying “Jack studied degree of Multimedia and photography,”, “No wonder he can do all these videos,”, “He got high results in Multimedia.”

What the...?

Oh no! This is funny. I myself studied accountacy. There’s nothing to do with Multimedia and photography. However, I like the rumors.

The reason why I got these skills and talents is that… I only wanna thank the most important person in my life – Jesus Christ. He is the one who makes me from nothing to something. I know people will say “Crazy!”. But no one can deny the truth. And this is the truth. People around me are the witnesses of my life. Jesus has passed the talents to me – to fulfill a greater purpose in my life.

















When the moment I picked up the camera, I had already known how to handle all kinds of angles and nice view and lighting. I do not know where this knowledge came from, but I had mastered the photography without any study and education. It goes for the same concept in multimedia.

This is the most amazing thing about my music. I know nothing about music. I have not taken any musical class or theory. How does this talent come from? I remember I start to compose music when I was living in a mountain called Wa Bang (somewhere in Myanmar).

Think about it. Am I worthy enough to have all these talents? Definitely not! It's God's mercy. How did I get all the talents? The key is Prayer.
