Chapter 135: Into The World Of Videography

"Jack, come and visit our SONY exhibition in Wisma Merdeka." Mark, the boss of SONY Center called.

Last Sunday, my dear and I went to Wisma Merdeka after church service. Feeling excited, wondering how's the exhibition going; believing that Kota Kinabalu will be having a breakthrough in videography; hoping to inspire many people doing videography after viewing my SONY advertisement.

When we were there, there were promoting some SONY DSLR and camcorder, with some models for shooting sample. During that time, I felt that someone was looking at me. As I was turning my head...

Crystal Eve? She is a friend of mine. She is a popular model in Kota Kinabalu and Kuala Lumpur. Asking her, "What are you doing here?"

"I am the ambassador of SONY center Mega Avit." She replied.

Wow! I could not believe God really used Christians to expand the territory of videography in Kota Kinabalu. Hoping God will do miracles into the world of videography. God is awesome as always.

As I was chatting with a group of SONY workers. Someone, one by one, came to ask, "Are you Jack Wong, the videographer?"

I was pretty surprised that they knew me by name. Humbly, I got to know them better and communicate in a passionate way. Some videographers had worked more than ten years, some were new especially me. The experienced videographers were very impressed with my video. I was even shocked when they said,

"We view your blogspot already. Regularly we are interested to know what you're up to in videography. You have one of the youngest and newest videographer who starts to do anything (of course, no pornography, nothing which sins against God) in videography. This is really impressive. Many people have noticed your video work."

Some had asked, "How do you manage to take other events besides wedding? You are just a new guy and we are working for long years. We have tried our best to engage in these kinds of projects. However, we could not be able to have a chance."

Some also asked, "How do you manage to think of ideas which can make great videos. Good inspirations for us."

Some even asked, "Wanna join us as part of our team? Hence, we experienced and professional videographers will be a great team in future."

God, I wanna thank You for Your grace and love. I am really touched when both the experienced and new videographers recognized me as a professional one. Without You, I knew this day will not come. You inspired the new ones, not me. As for the experienced ones, I will not join them as a team. God, I wanna be an outstanding one who can shine in this city in Your Name. I wanna remain as myself "Jack's Stuff". Wishing my dream comes true, and also believing this will happen, by hearing people saying,

"Jack's Stuff is a Christian company.
Jack honors God through videography."

God, You have given me many golden chances to enter into the society
so that Your name will be glorified.
I will forever lift Your name high in society,
showing them that You are my God,
letting them know You saved my soul and change my life.

Psalms 77:14
"You are the God who performs miracles; you display your power among the peoples."

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.
