Chapter 141: Ah Bii
"Jack, please wake up! I am scared!"
When I opened my eyes, I heard Ah Bii, my so-called stepbrother weeping besides me. He was only ten years old. I was still feeling blur and rubbing my eyes to get a clear view of the situation.
"What happened, Ah Bii?"
"My mother will commit suicide soon!"
Immediately, I got up and looked into his eyes. (At that time, the room was dark.) He was full of tears. Knowing he was not lying, I said,
"Cool down, ok? Tell me what actually happened?"
He began by saying his mother called him and tell him to take care of himself. He also said his mother sounded sorrowful and lost hope in life. I remembered the most is this sentence...
"Ah Bii, after I am gone, you must take care of yourself. When you grow up, do not be like your father."
This is REAL incident! Someone would be ending her life in any minute. Then feeling panic, I asked, "Where would your mother be right now?"
Both of us remained silent for a while, then he said,
"I remember my mother told me that that lady was living near to our house."
Without hesitation, I got changed and both of us went out. At that time, when we looked at the time, it was 3AM in the middle of night. Feeling cold, both of us were shivering. Then I asked,
"Where is the house of that lady?"
"I don't have any idea. What should we do now?"
I went to ask the security guard in that block, Ah Bii just followed me closely. I described the outlook of Ah Bii's mother to many security guards. And one of the security guards said, "Sorry. We did not notice this woman before." (in Malay)
Ah Bii was losing hope and cried, "My mother will die in any minute. Jack, please! What should we do?!"
When we were about to leave that building block, the security guard stopped us
"Wait! I guess I noticed a short woman walked past this building block." (in Malay)
Immediately, we rushed to the next block, asking a lazy security guard who was sleeping in a room. That guard was supposed to look after the safety of that block.
"Do you see a short woman taking this lift just now?" (in Malay)
The sleepy security guard was pondering a while...
"Yes! Around 2:45AM."
Readers, this incident happened ten years ago. The venue was Api Api Center (opposite Centerpoint) Whatever I said here is 100% true.

Chapter 140: One Different Thing
People being asking me why my blog has stopped for a period. The reason is that I have been super busy and focus on my work.
God has been guiding me and directing me to the goal. I still focus on my goal. I still remember what I need to do. I am still the same Jack who started the first chapter in this blogspot.
Though I did not write blog for a long time, I truly experienced a lot of things in life. And God has been blessing me abundantly. People said I am considered lucky and they were envious about my life. I received different kind of video projects, finding myself adapting into a life of videography. A deeper thought, a passionate soul for my own future.
To speak the truth, I am not lucky. I am just the same as anybody else. However, there is one thing different - God's grace. If you wanna say my life is lucky, I would rather say by the grace of God, I sustain in life.
Many things did happened in my life within these two months. I apologized for not updating my life.
1) Big Video Project - Jesselton Leisure 2010
2) Music Festival 2010 in KK Waterfront
3) My 29th birthday with my dear.
4) 7K charity run in Sutera Harbor
5) Being to Ranau for Pre Wedding Project
6) Being invited to Le Meridien for a talk, actually to do a big video project.
7) Discussing a MV video with Jonathan Tse (He wants a MV video)
8) Joining Core Fitness to maintain a healthy lifestyle.
I cannot remember much in last two months. Yet every moment is very meaningful. God really helps me through many hardships. Right now, I do have three things which people were struggling with -
Finance, Health, and Spiritual Life...
