Chapter 8: Define the Word "friend"

Define the word "friend". I know it sounds idiotic.

Till now, I should admit... I do not understand the meaning of "friend" anymore. For these two years, I have been fighting for my career and my honor. I had been through many which not everyone could know. I learn one thing which even sometime the Bible says so. Not entirely the friends around you are your friends. They shall be called "friends", not friends.

Though this is a stunning fact, i do believe many people have this experience.

You might be wondering... When you organize a tea session with them, they do come and have fellowship with you. They do everything the same with you. They play with you; they do stupid things with you. As time goes by, they can be considered as "brothers" or "sisters". When this kind of relationship has been set, you should be thinking that no matter what you do or accomplish, your "brothers/sisters" are supposed to be joyful for you because you have done something meaningful.

However, this is not true. Your "brothers/sisters" or whatsoever "close friends" do not really support you. In fact, they choose to ignore your work. Sometimes we do feel sad, because we are all thinking about the same thing, "Sometimes I do think this way: why are the strangers way better in supporting me than my close friends?"

Yes, this is the fact. Strangers whom you do not even know, they recognize your life; they recognize your hard work; they acknowledge your passion; they boost you up; they give full support; they sometimes even offer their precious helping hand to you. Why? I thought our "close friends, brothers or sisters" are supposed to be helping us, fully support us, share the joy with us. But they are not.

Yesterday, people commented on my videography ideas. They love it. They acknowledge it. They even ask me to collaborate with them in making great videos. They even offer to help on my videography ideas. Who are those people? Those who like my "Jack's Stuff" page and I do not know who they are. When I saw their support and appreciation, my tears fall, rolling down my cheek. In my heart, I said, "Thank You, God. Sometimes I do receive tge joy from Good Samaritans. They make me feel alive."

Then I check out some of my "church friends", and sad to say, they know what I am doing. They understand me much better than the strangers. I post on their walls. I share my videos and hope they will support me strongly. However, I see no support from them. They share other people works and tell people to support those whom they do not know. They "like" those photos from unknown photographers. But they will never appreciate your hard efforts in making the good photos or videos.

Those "church friends" know I wanna be a director and make Christian movies. I have many beautiful scripts and many ideas on how to bring out the meaning of Christianity. They first heard it, they showed their support. At that time, I really believe them. Right now, I did meaningful videos. They neglect me. They even share some pointless videos. They "like" others, and they never share mine. Am I really sure that they are supporting me?

It goes the same for "brothers/sisters". To me, they all are just too fake. I am disappointed, not because they did not "like" or share my videos. It is because i do not SENSE their support at all. They "like" and share strangers' videos or photos. And it applies the same for me as strangers "like" and share mine.

I am kinda frustrated with "church friends, brothers and sisters". They make me feel that they are completely out of my circle. I might as well pay attention to those who support  and encourage me. And I would find a chance to collaborate with the Good Samaritans. Agree?

Those "close friends, church friends, brothers, sisters" came to you when they NEED you to help them. After that, they will neglect you once again. Sad to hear, but even God knows this fact.

Weird, is this how we define our meaning of "friend" today? If you ask me whether I do the same as "friends" did, I absolutely say I am not.





Job 19:19
"All my intimate friends detest me; those I love have turned against me."

Chapter 7: On the Dark Street

During that night, it was raining gently. Looking at raindrops rolling down the glass, leaning my head back the chair, looking at my watch, it was already 12am midnight. All I could hear was the sound of bus engine.

I was extremely tired, and without any notice, I felt asleep during the journey back to Penampang. Suddenly, the bus stopped, I woke up. I turned my head around, and I saw a Chinese man besides me, and a Kadazan old couple behind me. On that bus, there were only five persons left including me and the bus driver.

The Chinese man was a muscular man. He was bald headed. He looked scary, or should I say he looked dangerous? I was actually terrified, because I was only sixteen years old. He turned his head back and look at the Kadazans sternly. Then he went towards the Kadazans and said fiercely, "Return back his things!"

The Kadazans were very afraid as the Chinese man was a tough and rough guy. Immediately, the Kadazan man took out the takeaway box and returned back to me. He apologized, "I am sorry." 

Then I realized that my takeaway box was stolen during my sleep! The food in the box would be my breakfast for the very next day. The Chinese man then sat down and look at me, "Hi, young man. Be careful with these people. They are not good people. You need to be alert. I will be leaving at the next stop. So, take care." 

The Chinese man left the bus after the next bus stop. Hence, only the Kadazan couple and I were the passengers in the bus. I was so afraid during that time. Looking at the watch, it showed 12:30am. I needed to endure for two more bus stops then it would be my destination. I was trying to stay calm, and make myself more relaxed by singing songs softly. After two bus stops, I immediately left the bus and started to walk as fast as possible. There were no street lamps, no light to show the front. All I could do was to move forward.

Though I heard nothing except the raindrops hitting on the ground, I kept imagining there was someone else walking behind me. I needed to go home as fast as possible. That walk to my house was to take 30 minutes at least without LIGHT! I was not a Christian during that time. But I PRAYED! Though I did not know what prayer is all about. In my mind, I prayed, "God! God! God!"

I kept imagining all the good things such as happiness, funny matters, video games... All of these thoughts were to replace my fear. I even sang songs to continue my walk. If readers know where KDCA is, that was the road I stopped my bus. From there, I walked to Supertanker without street lamps. I knew I was extremely tired but I still needed to move on.

When I reached Supertanker, I found the street lamps! From Supertanker to Jalan Shantung, another 15 minutes walk. Along the way to Jalan Shantung, strayed dogs were hanging around that area. The dogs were fierce and they barked at me. Their bodies moved forward towards my legs as if they wanted to bite my legs. I picked up the stones and the dogs quickly moved backwards. They continued to surround me with all sorts of annoying barks. Then I found out I was actually standing there for 5 minutes. At this time, I ran back. At last, I reached home and feel so warm. Looking at the house environment, though I was living alone during that time, I felt so secured and warm staying in the house.

Readers, this is our life. We always have fear to move on. However, if we are daring enough to think positively and act on our goal and dream. We will eventually reach our destination. No light, no safety and no security, if you were me, will you move on? Or would you rather stay on the same spot and complain, "Why is my life unfair?" Would you let the dogs bite you and say, "This is life. We cannot do anything."?

We do have many obstacles in life. As I have mentioned in Chapter 3: Road Block, will we overcome every bit of the problems and move on till we reached our goal? Now I believe most people who do not succeed in life are facing this factor - fear.

Proverbs 29:25
"Fear of man will prove to be a snare, but whoever trusts in the LORD is kept safe."

Chapter 6: Credit Card

"Hello. I am calling from HSBC Bank. Is this Mr Wong?"
"Yes. I am. Anything I can do for you?"


"We would like to offer you a credit card -Visa card. These few days, we will send a letter to your home address and you can come and verify yourself after you have received the letter."

For the first time in my whole lifetime, I never have a credit card. I do not know what to do about it. Therefore, I called many people for their advice.

Some said, "Actually, credit card is quite good for some situations. However, do not always use the credit cards for purchasing items. Or else you will be in full of unnecessary debts. Having a credit card is not a bad choice. Keep it for future purposes. It will be very handy sometimes."

Some said, "Well, when you need it, then use it. When you do not need it, never use it."

Some said, "Once you got credit card, you will need to pay annual fee and some sort of payment for the continuing of credit card usage or duration.You may need to find out how to waive the payment and try to get it as low cost as possible. Hence you will not be in trouble of having all sorts of ridiculous payments. Credit cards are quite useful nowadays. You must use it in a right way."

Lastly, I called my brother Gary for advice. He said, "Never apply for any credit card. Never accept the offer from any bank regarding to credit card. Credit card is "debt" card with high interest. If you do not pay by this month, they will continue to add high interest every month unless you manage to pay off every bill."

"People said it could be handy in doing some situations." I replied.

"The banks nowadays are having a strong competition in demanding the customers to apply credit cards. They will definitely offer every customer for applying credit card. During our grandfathers' time, the banks only offer the wealthy men to have credit cards. Right now in this generation, it is different. They offer everyone including the poor. Rich men use more, they pay more interest; poor men use less, the banks still earn their interest. You know what? One of the successful men in this world teaches us one thing - never apply any credit card. He is a millionaire, yet he has no single credit card. He says credit cards only collect debts for you. Credit cards never earn money for you. When time moves on, you will collect whole piles of unwanted debts which most of them are INTERESTS."

I was stunned. He continued, "Only by investments, you can succeed. This is what that millionaire says. Therefore, I also do the same thing. I used to have two credit cards. And it is true. I always have all sorts of unwanted payments to continue the usage. I seldom use. I remember I used once or twice for my transactions. Guess what? I pay 16% of interest for purchasing some items only. 16% interest! This is ridiculously HIGH! Why let the bank earn your hard-earned money? In the end, I cancel both my credit card. What we can do right now is Debit card. Debit card is so much better. You can manage your own money. It is because Debit cards depend on the amount of saving you have. Do you have one?"

"Yes, I got Maybank Debit Visa Card."
"Then that is good enough. Listen to me. Never apply for Credit card. Even when you succeed in life, getting richer and richer, no credit card. Then you will always live in wealth and not debt."

At night, my dear had dinner with me. I also shared with her about the Credit card. She answered, "Never apply for Credit card, because it is a "debt" card with high interest."   

Proverbs 13:10
"Where there is strife, there is pride, but wisdom is found in those who take advice."  

Chapter 5: Six Years

After shooting banquet video, I immediately rushed to a friend's house at 11pm. At that moment of time, I was feeling exhausted. Actually I supposed to have supper with Sim, my good friend who is a photographer too. This friend of mine suddenly called me during the banquet and ask me for help. That matter had to be sorted out before midnight.

When I had arrived to her house, she was very excited to meet me. She said, "So, let's finish this business as fast as possible." She could not wait any longer, because she had hit her target at the last day of May! As her leader, I had promised her mother S that I will definitely take care of her daughter's business.

Therefore, S was there. I was rushing all the way to complete all the business thingy in no time. When I looked at the clock, it showed 11:15pm. Then S asked me, "Is it possible to complete the matter as the postal company has closed at this hour? How do we send out the documents?"


"Do not worry, aunt. I got an idea! In this situation, we only got one solution left - Multimedia."

She looked at me with a surprising expression, and ask, "Multimedia?"

I took out my SONY camcorder and took photos of the documents. One page by one page, snapping every single piece to make sure none was missed. Connecting the cable to my laptop, and using the smart phone to become the USB tethering. Internet connected! Taking out the photos, "cut and paste" into my desktop. Compressing the photos and immediately send email with photo attachments to the company address. S was impressed. She laughed and said in amaze, "So this is the solution you are talking about?"

"Yes, aunt. That is the only way. We did it on time. Look! Exactly 12am midnight."
I smiled.

My friend was so joyful and said, "We did it!"

"Hey! You know what? I am very hungry." My stomach was groaning.

Then she went into the kitchen to make some food. S was sitting at the dining table and continue her own business. I was helping my friend to rearrange the whole business issue. Then she said, "Thanks Jack, you have been very helpful. I can see that you are very responsible." 


"My pleasure. I will guide her for sure since she says she wanna be wealthy in finance and health."

"You know what? Since young, when 15 fifteen, I had already cultivated a habit of reading about success. I always read about successful men stories. They are the one who really encountered all sort of hardship and they overcame them. That is why I have no reason to fail in my own business."


"Aunt, to speak frankly, you are indeed a strong mother. You got a great business to manage, and you have three children to look after. I really admire your responsibility."

"What can I do if I give up? Leaving the children gone astray?" She smiled. I remained silent. then she continued, "Jack, where did you study when you are young?"


"Primary and Secondary in Singapore; University in New Zealand."
"Since childhood, you did not stay with parents in Singapore?" 


"No. We were already being trained to be independent. We took care of our own problems. We searched for our own resources. Even in New Zealand, I worked as a part time, studying at the same time. The job was to feed my daily need."

"This is impressive. I really hope my children can be like you. They always need my help. Sometimes I really want them to grow up and understand my burdens. Hence they will start their own career and live a better future. Then after University, where did you work?"


"I served the Lord for six years. Last year, then it was the first time I entered the society. 2011 is my second year."

She looked at me with surprise. "Serving full time in the church for six years?"
I nodded my head.

"So what do you gain while serving in the church?" She was curious.

"Aunt, I praise the Lord for I spent my youth time serving in the church. I really learn a lot of things in the church. Every minor thing which we learn in the church, sometimes we do not get the knowledge from society. The Lord really bless me. I thank Him for He looks after my need. Last year, in overall, I should be considered as one of the successful beginners as compared to others who just enter the society. It is not because I am very talented. It is because of the Lord who bless me till today, and it shall be forever. The Lord gave me opportunities to manage church ministries. From there, I know how to handle issues."

S laughed for a moment, and she continued, "I, too believe so. From what I can see just now, how you handle my daughter's business matter, I believe you learn those little knowledge from the church."

My friend came out and served me with her homemade food, and said cheerfully, "Jack, since you help me out, here is the reward. You MUST finish it."

When I turned my head at the clock, it was already 1am in the late night.

1 Samuel 18:14
"In everything he did he had great success, because the LORD was with him."

Chapter 4: RM2.50

I was following my brother Gary's car, talking to him at the same time while his children were having fun, and my sister-in-law was listening to our conversation.

He was sharing many things to me, and our talk is always endless. Then my sister-in-law asked, "Where are we going to have our dinner?"
"I guess Fook Yuen in KK area is the best. I like the Dim Sum. Well, before that, I would like to fill up the car petrol. Where would be the nearest Shell Petrol Station?" Gary replied.

I showed him the way to Shell Petrol Station where it is nearby Cathy Cinema. Then Gary reminded me of our childhood. He asked me, "Hey! Jack, do you still remember the kopitiam where the economic rice cost only RM2.50?"

"Of course, how could I ever forget the kind Christian uncle who had compassion on us?"
"We added our rice for free, and refilled our soup without a single cent. That uncle indeed was a very kind man!" Gary told his wife in awe.

Both Gary and I used to be poor once. We had insufficient pocket money daily. We ought to eat less and save for our bus fares to get home. During that season, we only could spend less than RM6 a day including bus fares which already cost RM2. We could not spend much on food. All we could spend was fried pisang, and fried ubi. That was a hard time for both of us.

I met a guy who was studying the same college as mine, we were taking LCCI diploma. He too was a poor guy. Both of us seem to get along well with each other. Then he introduced me to a place for cheap food. He said, "I know a place where the economic rice was only RM2.50. Three varieties with free rice refill."

I was amazed by his saying. From that day onwards we always went there without fail. That was how exactly I know about that place. However, this is not the point. I wanna share about that uncle. He never mention his name to me. He did not share much of his things to me. I remember the most about one thing he said, "I never work on Sunday, because I always go to church on Sunday."

During that period, I was not yet a Christian, but I knew he is a Christian. The first impression which he gave to me is that Christians are kind and caring people. Whenever I asked for rice and soup refill (sometimes four times), he never charge me a single cent. I admit I did take him for granted - adding rice like nobody business. That was ridiculous act of mine. He never frown to me, he never show anger or irritated face to me, he NEVER. He always smiled to me and always make sure I had enough. I also remember that he said, "Young man, your parents were not here in KK. You seem to be a tough boy. You can live alone, and your house is so far away. That could be very dangerous. Do you cook at home?"

I shook my head. He continued, "Don't worry, young fellow. You can always fill your stomach full every time you come here. I will take care of you."   

One day, I was lacking of money. I could not buy anything for my dinner. I was so hungry during that time. I only got RM1 left with me. That RM1 is my bus fare. I doubted I got food to eat. As I walked and walked, without noticing it, I actually stood in front of that kopitiam. That uncle called me, "Hey! Young man! Come! The food is hot and good. What do you want for your choices today?"

I was extremely hungry. And I put down my face slowly and walked towards him in embarrassment. That uncle was looking at me with a smiley face. I said in humility, "Uncle, I got no money to eat."

That uncle was silent for a while. Then he called me to his side. "Young man. Come here. It is alright. You cannot make yourself hungry. Who is going to cook for you at home? Come. This time, let me treat you."

I was very surprised by his kindness. And of course, I ate that meal. Every spoonful of rice and food entered my mouth, I thanked God sincerely though I was not yet a Christian. I said in heart, "LAO TIAN YE (God in Heaven), thank you very much for this wonderful meal. I will do the same for what this uncle has done to me. I must do the same to those who are in need of help."

After a period, our family came to believe in Jesus Christ. As I read the scriptures, and I found Matthew 25: 35-40 and I began to understand why that uncle was so kind to those needy.


"For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’ “Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’ “The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’"

That was true. That uncle did not do much to change the whole world, but he changed a heart of a young man. He influenced him. That uncle had showed the exact example as what Jesus has taught to do - love one another.

Job 29:16
"I was a father to the needy; I took up the case of the stranger."


  

Chapter 3: Road Block

"Jack, are you at home? What are you doing?"

"Transferring video data. Pretty Bored though. Let's go yamcha while the data transferring is in the process."

George fetched me from my house, and decided to go to Damai for a tea break. Then he asked me, "Do you know there is a road block nearby Beverly Hills?"
"Police checking?"


"No. There was a tourist bus accident. There is a restaurant near the round-about. The tourists were having their lunch over there. And there is a steep slope going up to the restaurant. I believe the accident occurred when the bus was trying to brake slowly down the slope."


"So how do you go to my house? Another way round from Supertanker?"
"Yes. Luckily I am not going through that blocked way."

As we were talking about the road block, we went to check out the road condition. Of course, the road which was blocked is to enter Beverly Hills. Our way is to going out to Bukit Pandang. Hence, our road is fine and smooth. To our astonishment, we saw a huge long pile of car queuing. And we saw a huge bus blocking both the fast and slow lane. The cars on both lanes were piling up till the end of the traffic road of Lintas! That was terrible! We saw every man in every single car was pointing the bus to show their frustration and anger. Some of them  behind thought there was police checking. Some of them were very annoyed with the block. Most of their mouths were talking. I believe nothing good came out from them at this situation.

Then I began to think about our life goal regarding to this road block. The question is "Who is our 'Road Block' in life?" When we are pursuing our big dream along our way to success. Something or someone will definitely get into your way to success. It is really discouraging to say sometimes this issue will bring us down. We may not wanna move on; we will stay there and complain about the situation. We only find excuses to cover up our failure. When the bus is removed, every car can move. If the road block is unsolved, forever the obstacles are there. The greatest problem of human beings is to complain and do nothing about it. When complaints are spread, no one really wanna do about it.

For example, some salesmen failed to achieve their sale target, they will complain, "It is because of the customers' rude attitude." Some students failed the papers, they will complain, "It is because of my studying environment. My parents always nag and annoy me." Some bosses failed to gain opportunities on big projects, they will complain, "It is because of my partners. They never find me and discuss with me."

The main problem is "Where is your action?" Once your actions begin, you will definitely overcome your "road block" one by one. Not only that, you will not drag others down keeping all the "cars" behind suffering of impatience. Others can gain benefits from it, and continue to move on their journey. We must think carefully regarding to our "road block". We can eventually harm others by creating burdens without knowing it. The greatest example is - when a student does not study hard; he failed his studies; he got no job. Naturally, he gives finance burden to his own family. He does not even have the ability to support himself. How can he be able to take care of his family? What about his own future family?

Definitely I say this to myself, "No, Jack. Never I allow this happens in my life. I want my wife to live happily and comfortably. I want to support my children who gain great education. I must at least have life insurance for my children and wife. I must take all these responsibility which God has given to me. I will take away all my 'road block' and complain no more"

Readers, there are reasons for being rich and poor, good and bad, healthy and unhealthy. From today onwards, we must find out all our "road block" and make our lives better and healthier.

2 Corinthians 11:9
"And when I was with you and needed something, I was not a burden to anyone, for the brothers who came from Macedonia supplied what I needed. I have kept myself from being a burden to you in any way, and will continue to do so."    

Chapter 2: From A Friend to A Stranger

"Hey! Brother!"
That fellow looked at me with a weird grin, and continued his things. I was surprised to see his expression like this. Then I moved forward and greet him, "How are you, V?"


He just nodded His head and ignored me. I was hurt.

We used to be good brothers in Christ, and now we are totally strangers. Sometimes, life happens to be like this, readers. Hence, I should say this is common in life. It is funny that those who are not so close to you, they really treat you with sincerity. Actually this was the true story between me and that fellow. I had a dispute with him regarding to the photography. He was a photographer for my precious day - Valentine's Day. I proposed to my dear and gave her a ring as a witness of love. Of course, in reality, who does not take this matter seriously?

There were three photographers during that special day. I hired them to shoot our proposal day. Indeed, who will not want to remember it especially girls? After the whole day of photography, we had a tea break in Starbucks Coffee, Warisan Square. I asked them to give me the photos as soon as possible. Three of them had agreed to give to me at the end of February.


As time passed by, I kept on contacting V for my Valentine's photos. "Hello, V. When can I have the photos as you promised me you will give at the end of this month? And also D's photos. Will he email to me?"
"Yes, I will contact D and tell him to email to you."


I added D as friend in Facebook. D uploaded our Valentine's photos and tagged me. In other words, D had completed his editing. Hence, by right, he should be ready to send the photos to me. Therefore, I posted on his wall asking, "Hey! Bro, when can you email us the photos? We are waiting. My email is...." 
D showed no reply. He ignored my wall post and continue to chat with other people who commented on his wall. I was feeling very unhappy. Again, I called V, "Hey! Bro, have you contacted D for the photos? We are waiting for more than a month. I posted on his Facebook wall, he did not even reply me."


"Maybe he is busy. He got no time to reply your wall post." V said.
"There is ridiculous. Why did he comment on others' wall post and ignore mine?"
"Ok, I will contact him again and tell him to email you."


Another week has passed. That was 10 March 2011. I continued to post on D's wall and he showed ignorance. I was truly frustrated and called V again. "V, have you contacted D? I did not receive his photos. I am still waiting. Is this how he treats his customer?"


V replied, "Ok, I will contact him again and tell him to email you."
This time, I asked, "Alright. Give me a specific time. When is it going to be done?"
"Friday."


Friday had arrived. We also had a DAP youth party in Menggatal. At that time, my dear called me and share her anger with me. "Why did D keep on dragging our time? We wanted the photos for so long."


Of course, I could not control my anger and immediately called V again. "V, we still have not received D's photos." (Still in a gentle voice)
"Oh! Is it? I will contact him again and tell him to email you." (SAME SENTENCE?!)
"Wait! V, what do you mean? During this period, you have not contacted D, have you?" (My voice turned into a stern tune)
"Actually Jack, I am busy too. That is why I do not have the time to contact D." He sounded annoyed.
My mind was thinking, "You got time to pick up my call and explain this stupidity. You do not have time to call D? Even a minute, you cannot even call?! This is nonsense! You got time to interact with him in Facebook, praising his photography and asking how to improve in photography. You got no time to ask him a simple question 'When you gonna email Jack the photos?'"

I scolded him, "V, I am very disappointed with you and D. As professional photographers, you should understand the quality and integrity of a profession. Right now, is it because I am your brother in Christ, then you can let me wait like nobody business? If you are busy, you can inform me and always find time to solve my problem. Why am I so persistent in asking about the photos? That is our Valentine's photo which show my proposal to my dear. Do you know that I called D? This fellow did not even pick up my call. You sure he is serving in quality? I guess not. I am very disappointed with you."


"Ahhh... He he... Ok ok.." V replied with an embarrassed smile.
"I have paid my service. Is this how you serve me? In fact, I am not satisfied with your photos at all. (Seriously, it is a waste of money since the photography is not good.) It is because you are a photographer. I wanted to support you and give you encouragement. I choose to hire you as my Valentine's photographer. And in the end, these are the quality of the photos. So disappointing!"
"Jack, we use our concept to shoot photos. To me, I think the photos are great."
"V, now who is speaking? My dear is a customer. Do you understand? Do you know the meaning of customer's satisfaction? Do you want me to shoot photos of you and your wife which you both will not be satisfied? Then I tell you 'This is a concept.' Do you get me?"


"Ok, Jack. What is your purpose of this calling?" V was frustrated.
"Purpose? You still do not get it? I am complaining. This is a complaint call, V. I called you to say that we do not want D's photos anymore. Never will I support your photography group. It makes me disappointing. Yes, you always tell us to hire you all for my wedding. Right now, do you think I will hire you all again? Seriously, I wanna give you all a chance to be my wedding photographers. Right now?"
"Jack. I..." V was feeling very embarrassed.
"We are still brothers. I just hope that you will improve your quality service towards the future customers. Customers are very important. I just do not want this to happen to the next customer."


After that, we did not keep in touch. Till yesterday in Cyber X, Damai, I saw him, and take the initiative to greet him. However, look at his expression. Feeling disappointed on this matter.
We are once friends, now strangers.


3 John 1:5
"Dear friend, you are faithful in what you are doing for the brothers and sisters, even though they are strangers to you."

Chapter 1: Let's Start Afresh Once Again.

"Jack, time to restart your blog." A blogger said.

This is pretty encouraging when people who actually read your blog tell you that they miss your updating blog. Unfortunately, my blogger had been hacked since August 2010. And of course due to the time of tightness, it is absolutely hard to find time for blogging.

During this time frame of August 2010 to May 2011, there are so many things happening in my life. So many things to blog about, so many things to share around on which we should take precaution on. Sad to say, I also forgot most of it. If I could remember, it will be good to start afresh with a whole series of great incidents supported by God's words.

I apologized for those who keep following my blog previously. I believe most of my supporters have lost contact with me. I won't be surprised to see none viewing my blog right now.

At the start of blogging, I actually just wanna share out what i see and know and feel in heart. I do not really matter who's looking at it. Hence, it is also the same to continue blogging without any viewer. All I do know, when I become successful one day, my blog chapters will turn into a real book.

Once again, I introduced myself again. I am Jack Wong, a Christian who is pursuing his dream goal and life. Life changing is his main focus. To bring great encouragement to people around, and to change the thoughts and mind of people into a better positivity. Personally, I prefer to write about other's instinct about the problem which we were facing daily. I do agree that we will shape one another when we share more of our life issues. Of course, the solutions of every issue as well. We will together mould one another with the experience of others and get to know how we can improve our lives into better.

God bless you, readers.
