Thank You For Your Time - A Touching Story

Over the phone, his mother told him, "Mr. Belser died last night. The funeral is Wednesday." Memories flashed through his mind like an old newsreel as he sat quietly remembering his childhood days.

"Jack, did you hear me?" .

"Oh sorry, Mom. Yes, I heard you. It's been so long since I thought of him. I'm sorry, but I honestly thought he died years ago," Jack said. "Well, he didn't forget you. Every time I saw him he'd ask how you were doing. He'd reminisce about the many days you spent over 'his side of the fence' as he put it," Mom told him.

"I loved that old house he lived in," Jack said.
"You know, Jack, after your father died, Mr. Belser stepped in to make sure you had a man's influence in your life," she said. "He's the one who taught me carpentry," he said. "I wouldn't be in this business if it weren't for him. He spent a lot of time teaching me things he thought were important... Mom, I'll be there for the funeral," Jack said.

As busy as he was, he kept his word. Jack caught the next flight to his hometown. Mr. Belser's funeral was small and uneventful. He had no children of his own, and most of his relatives had passed away.

The night before he had to return home, Jack and his Mom stopped by to see the old house next door one more time. Standing in the doorway, Jack paused for a moment. It was like crossing over into another dimension, a leap through space and time. The house was exactly as he remembered. Every step held memories. Every picture, every piece of furniture....Jack stopped suddenly.
"What's wrong, Jack?" his Mom asked.
"The box is gone," he said.
"What box?" Mom asked.
"There was a small gold box that he kept locked on top of his desk. I must have asked him a thousand times what was inside. All he'd ever tell me was the thing he values most," Jack said. It was gone.

Everything about the house was exactly how Jack remembered it, except for the box. He figured someone from the Belser family had taken it.

"Now I'll never know what was so valuable to him," Jack said. "I better get some sleep. I have an early flight home, Mom."

It had been about two weeks since Mr. Belser died. Returning home from work one day Jack discovered a note in his mailbox. "Signature required on a package. No one at home. Please stop by the main post office within the next three days," the note read.

Early the next day Jack retrieved the package. The small box was old and looked like it had been mailed a hundred years ago. The handwriting was difficult to read, but the return address caught his attention.
"Mr. Harold Belser" it read.

Jack took the box out to his car and ripped open the package. There inside was the gold box and an envelope. Jack's hands shook as he read the note inside. "Upon my death, please forward this box and its contents to Jack Bennett. It's the thing I valued most in my life."

A small key was taped to the letter. His heart racing, as tears filling his eyes,! Jack carefully unlocked the box. There inside he found a beautiful gold pocket watch. Running his fingers slowly over the finely etched casing, he unlatched the cover.

Inside he found these words engraved: "Jack, Thanks for your time! Harold Belser."

"The thing he valued most...was...my time." Jack held the watch for a few minutes then called his office and cleared his appointments for the next two days. "Why?" Janet, his assistant asked.

"I need some time to spend with my mum,dad,sisters and brothers," he said.
"Oh, by the way, Janet...thanks for your time!"

"Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take but by the moments that take our breath away."

Think about this. You may not realize it, but it's 100% true.

"Thank you for your time."

The time we spent in fellowship, enjoy and in pain - in all circumstance.

Pangkor Island Trip Video 2007

Family Trip to Pangkor Island, Teluk Intan and KL during Christmas Holiday - Photos

We decided to go Pangkor Island during Christmas holiday since we haven't been there before. Mum said she wanted to 'conquer' the island. We drove there from Penang and it took less then 3 hours to reach Lumut. We stayed at the Swiss Garden Hotel at Lumut for 1 night, then headed off to Pangkor Island via Ferry the next day. Upon arrival, we rented a van and the driver took us around the island.



It was great experience having to enjoy the sceneries and nature on the island. We had a good time doing watersports and archery at the hotel beaches as well.



The next day, we left to Teluk Intan to see the Menara Condong, or the PISA Tower of Malaysia. After that we headed off to Bidor for lunch at the famous Wantan Mee shop. We then drove towards KL.



Pavilion KL, the new shopping complex opposite Starhill. We did some window shopping only as things are too expensive over there. The decoration was very nice and special.

We spent a night at the Westin Hotel, then went back to Penang next afternoon. I had some videos of the trip to be uploaded on this blog soon. Stay tuned!

Paintball in Subang

We had paintball near the Subang lake garden, organised among our Shin-Etsu colleagues ... At first we expect to end the game with bruises, as the vest and face mask doesn't provide much protection to the other parts of the body at all. However, it wasn't that bad if someone got hit by long range shot. The semi-auto gun, or marker, holds around 100 bullets and fired in 90m/s. But don't let it fool you, the accuracy is pretty bad (you can see the bullets coming and can even dodge it matrix style)... that explain why
we took 1 hour to finish 1 round.

The first round is a one shot kill game, so those who are out early in the game will have to wait until the game is finish, which is quite frustrating for some people. The 2nd round though, is a 'shoot till you finish your bullet' with unlimited lives. Obviously most of us finish the bullets in a matter of time... Leaving few guys trying to shoot each other in close range. One of our friend been hit pretty badly in close range, too close...

It was quite tiring having to wear the heavy mask with no room to breath. Having to hold the gun and squart down all the time makes your knees sore and have to sit on the mud if too tired. I did get muscle pain the next day I go to work, haven't been exercise lately...

Though it's expensive to play this game, it was a fun and good experience. Recommend to give it a try.

Christmas House Party 2007

It was a great night having invited so many guests and families to our early Christmas party. Shannie ordered some catering food and I ordered Dominos pizza. Aunty Mary also cooked her special home made curry chicken, together with my potato salad.

After the dinner, we had some games for the kids to play. Although the house was packed, we managed to get the games going (but some kids cry when they lose) - see video=)

After the game, we had the adults watch some Christian testimony videos. Our church members did come later after the church service to 'clear up' the food. There is still a lot of left over food that could supply us for at least two days of dinner...

We ended the party after that. All in all, a tiring but meaningful Christmas party.
