How are you in Heaven now? God must be welcoming you into His embrace. Jusslee, you have overcome your sickness and sorrow through Jesus Christ. I am proud of you! Though you have brain cancer, you still face the days with faith. You are the man! Yes, you are...
Frankly speaking, I was really shocked when Jack Mok called me and said that you go to Heaven early this morning. That was really unexpected. I do not know what to speak. I remain silent and feel weird... What should I say? I do not even have a chance to say "goodbye", Jusslee.
I bless you to be with our Lord God Almighty in Heaven. One day when I return to Heaven, I believe you will have a lot of things to share with me how God treats you in Heaven. You will be a person who has better understanding of God because God is so close to you.
I, once was your leader; in Heaven, you may be my senior. Wait for me, brother. Now I cannot go there yet, because I have a greater purpose in life - to testify about Jesus Christ. Many things are yet to be accomplished. Remember our promise? To give glory to God in the world. Be the light of the world? Now you can enjoy your days with God.
As for me, Michael, Jeffrey and Jack, we still have a long journey to move on and carry our cross until this task is fulfilled. Jusslee, do not stop praying for us when you are resting well in Heaven. Care for our welfare, support us in doing God's mission.
Jusslee, as I am writing all these to you, my tears are rolling from eyes to cheek. Because you really mean to me as a brother in Christ. I do not know why. Suddenly, I miss you so much, recalling the times you served with me in church, and making foolish laughter and fun through videos, music, photography.
Brother, do continue to pray for me in Heaven. Once my task is accomplished, we will meet again in Heaven. At this time, would you do me one last favor? That is to pass a message to Jesus Christ saying that I love Him.
Rest in Christ forever. Thank You, Father for Jusslee's soul is rested in Your mighty hands.
My best buddy, Finian, called me for lunch. Hence, we decided to meet at Starbuck Coffee, Warisan Square.
When I reached there, I saw Finian talking to another man. As that man turned around, HEY!!! Archdeacon John!!!
In the end, Archdeacon John joined us for lunch.
I was glad to see Archdeacon John recovered from his sickness. Last two weeks, he was in a serious situation where no one was allowed to visit him. The doctor gave a serious warning that no visitor was allowed during his medical leave. I even heard that he could not even walk around and found himself seriously weak. We can imagine that he was really sick!
During the lunch, I asked him, "What's the disease?" "Pneumonia." (a sickness which the liver is infected. It can be fatal)
Health is very important in our life. Readers, do take care of yourself, because God only gives us one body. We do need to cherish the goodness of God. For us who are working, we hardly find time to rest or sleep. To us, sleeping time is one of the most important things in our life. So, when there is time to rest, rest. When there is time to exercise, exercise. When there is time to relax, relax. When there is time to sleep, by all means, sleep.Regain the strength once again, and start everything afresh again!
Psalms 63:1 "O God, you are my God, earnestly I seek you; my soul thirsts for you, my body longs for you, in a dry and weary land where there is no water."
I praise God that Archdeacon John is away from fatal possibility. He is now safe in the hand of God. God is faithful. He will take care of His faithful servant.
Moreover, Archdeacon John is like my spiritual father.
I was singing a song on Father's Day. I love this song very much.
Father is important to us. Cherish your father while he is still on earth. Today, I had a dinner with my dad. He seemed very happy and he shared many things about his life. My father is different. He loves to talk to his children. He can joke with us. I praise God for my father. He is indeed my great father.
It goes for the same. Our Father in Heavenloves to talk to us. However, most of all the churches, most of the Christians always forget one thing on Father's Day - to say "Happy Father's Day" to our Heavenly Father. They prayed for all the fathers, and they said "Happy Father's Day" to one another, but they forgot that our God is our Abba Father too.
Readers, please remember to say "Happy Father's Day" to our God Almighty.
Ephesians 6:1 Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right.
Jack's Stuff, Roy (Left) and Joshua (Right) were presenting a song "Thank You" in All Saints' Cathedral.
Right now, I was working in the Diocesan Office in All Saints Cathedral. Hence, I always have chances to work with Bishop. Praise the Lord!
On 24 – 26 October 2008, I was called to follow Bishop Albert Vun to Kudat and Telupid (Sabah, Malaysia) for confirmation services. I felt something different in my heart. I should say he got the highest authority among all Sabah Anglican Churches. I thought, “This is the first time that I am going out with Bishop to other places. I was working with a person who holds the highest authority in church, how is the feeling going to be?”
I really like Bishop very much. He really takes care of the people who work under him. And he really knows how to associate with people around him. He really has the wisdom to look after the Diocese. This is not easy at all. One thing I really appreciate about Bishop – he thinks so much differently from most of the people. His thoughts are reallywide and open. From this point of view, I really respect him. Somehow he is like a father to me.

On the way to Kudat, he suddenly brought me to his mother’s house. I wonder why he suddenly visited his mother. Then he offered me DURIANS! I was so surprised. Bishop really knows how to enjoy his life. It’s the 1st time that I saw Bishop did such a thing like opening durians. Interesting!
On the way to Kudat (about 4 hours drive), we have so much things to talk – food, lifestyle, wisdom…etc. Mostly, I was the one who asked him about the vision of Diocese. He shared with me many things about the churches. And he even taught me how to handle some serious matters in church. I was blessed to learn about his experiences. The amazing thing is that I could be able to talk to him about photography, and videography! He even challenged me to do one project regarding to Multimedia. In the future, you all will know about it! So I took the challenge. I told you before, readers. I am a person who loves to do something different and challenging.
Then our next destination is Telupid (about 6 hours drive). Seriously, I was pretty tired about a long drive and long period of photography. On 26 October 2008, after our Confirmation service in the morning, Bishop promised that he wanted to bring me to have a SHOWERIN THE RIVER! I was so surprised! This is the 2nd time that I thought, “WOW! Bishop really know how to enjoy his life!”
John 10:10 Jesus said, "I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full." __________________________________
From these pictures above, I learn one thing from him. Though he is a very busy man, somehow he can be very tired too, yet he will enjoy his life to the fullest. I love the way he spent his time. This is really called LIFE. I believe I will have a great time with Bishop again in the future. I love spending time with him.
I will live my life to the fullest, with a life of abundance in Christ Jesus. The life of Jack’s Stuff will continue to move on in an extraordinary way…
