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.

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.
