A Final Goodbye to my Master,friend and my spiritual pillar of support
Master ong, whom i have addressed as 王师傅 for so many years, has passed on.
very much appreciated the two person who left me the message here. if not, i wouldn’t have known.
Initially, I was very much taken aback by the news, almost angry that who in their freaking stupid ignorant completely useless life would make a prank news as such .
But a prank it is not. a call to a common friend in bangkok confirmed this . He has passed on.
He passed on he passed on he passed on he passed on he passed on he passed on he passed on he passed on he passed on he passed on he passed on he passed on.
Maybe if i repeatedly type the same lines i might just come to terms with this ugly fact.
But HE IS NOT SUPPOSED TO DIE!!! How could he have not been able to forsee this???
Or has he known this all these while,while he was making other people’s life right..
I first know him so many years ago..when i was just starting out in {City Beat}
It must be fate that brought us together as i am not much a believer in geomancy, i only believe in myself.
He was there for me when i had my downs..praying with me..praying for me…
He was there for me when my father died. he was with me the entire time of my father’s death.He taught me how to say my goodbye to my father..how to accompany my father for his final journey.. prayed for my father,ensuring that he has departed to a better place..he was the one that helped us housed the memories of my father in a tablet ..giving us comfort that my father is still with us..
He was there for me when i was nominated for star accolades first time round..he was almost as elated as i am..he told me which direction to drive..even down to fine details like what colour my underpants should be.
He was there for me when i have to make a big decision in my life. To leave or not to leave.He told me deep in my heart i know the answer. Indeed i knew. And his prediction was right. As usual. And i enjoyed four beautiful years.
He was there for me at the start of the year, where thru my divine fingers and his understanding of the universe , my entire year’s fortune would be first recorded painsakingly in a casette tape which he would, after a day or two, proudly tuck it into my hands and tell me to ” listen well”.
He was there for me when he decided that i need higher guidance and brought me to his own master in a foreign land.We kneeled and prayed side by side.A humble picture of him would forever be imprinted in my mind.
He was here just now, or i hope he was, in a form of an almost grasshopper- like insect , when i was on the phone with his friend in bangkok, who told me the events that led to his demise. After i received confirmation from his friend and knew that i could no longer deny his demise, the insect left.
Just like that.
Just like my father who came back to see me in the form of a moth. 王师傅 told me once before that, indeed was my father, who has came back to check on me..May i believe now that it was indeed you my dearest friend, mentor, who has come back to see me? i know its you.
You have not told me whats the goings on of my life for 2008..Have you forgotten ?or deliberately not have a reading for me so as not to reveal your departure from my life?
The last time i heard your voice was a phone call two months ago..
You said
: 喜欢就买啦。。
不对的我们把他改到对就行了。。
最重要是你要喜欢！
Perhaps now that you are in another world,
sometimes do remember me….
and if you decide to take the form of a butterfly or … please come to me and let me know that you are here, like you just did.
This might be all that i could hold on to.
How do i say goodbye?
you taught me once before..
i remembered.
i shall try
perhaps not able to..as at now
but i will try.
i will
i will.

bryan, it takes time to heal, and though it’s difficult, i believe you can.
now that he is not here to give you his guidance anymore, you’ll have to follow your heart and go ahead with it. it’ll be the time for you to go on with your own decision and belief.
take care!

Bryan,
Tell me what happen to him??,pls….
I am in shocked!
The phone call you made to him, his God-daugther told me the conversation while i was waiting for him.
I was asking him on my place fengshui and he adviced me on the place. He said he needs to see the place to give a more accurate reading.
Once my place TOP, i called him and the calls were never returned. I even went to his shop to see if anything has happened.
Pls tell me what happen.
The last time i saw him, i told him my job and what i faced. He told me : ” After this, you will know , you know it inside your heart what to do.Do what your heart tell you.”
And he gave me a pendant and since that time it really help… i am very sad… i would like to pay my last respect to him…

Hi Bryan,
Knowing it’s very hard to accept someone who is so close to you to pass away suddenly.
But I do believe that he don’t wish to see you live your life so bitterly. Everyone of us will eventually come to this stage.
Cry out when you need to!
Time! There will be a time for you to stop crying.
Give yourself some time to pick up.
I know it is not easy to pick up, but I don’t think he wants you to lead your life in this way.
I understand that sometimes there are too many words you’ve heard from everyone of us. I believe what you need now is some peace of time to settle your feelings.
Just wish to hear from you one day, you will say, “Don’t worry, I am Ok now (really ok now).”
怀念一个人是永恒。振作是一份很好的礼物回报他人.
BRAVE UP! Take care!
Cheers,
Gin

Bryan,
I don’t know Master Ong personally. Spiritually, I think he really wants you to be strong within yourself.
I agree with what Leeyan has said – it is time now for you to have strong self-belief, and make decisions on what you think and feel are absolutely right for yourself.
Like your departed father, I believe Master Ong have gone to a better place. I am sure both of them would watch over you. Definitely. =)
Like what I often say to myself when it comes to a daunting task, ＂我行的，我绝对可以做到，我要相信自己！＂ You should pyscho yourself the same way too.
Follow your heart. Go pay your last final respects to Master Ong. =)
Take care alright?
Your supporters and I are always around for you. =)

on April 22nd, 2008 at 8:59 pm
bryan.. sorry to hear that. must be heartbreaking for u but pls take care.
on April 22nd, 2008 at 11:36 pm
to learn to let go is indeed difficult,
to learn to accept a fact is also not easy.
life is like that, we continue to breath no matter what happen. of cos it’s easy to said than done.
there is time to mourn, there is time to get over it.
he is there not just to give u guidance, but to give u assurance of what to do. perhaps, you need to find someone that ablke to give you such assurance again. time to have faith and believe in yourself.
when such thing happen, it’s always a time of self reflection.
he had lended you his ears and comforting arms. it’s time to spread your love to others.
when you are weak, u need someone to lean on.
life is like that.
live it!
love,
weiz

on April 23rd, 2008 at 9:10 am
Bryan,
it takes time to heal… Brace up! Follow your heart on whatever things you wanna do or making decisions. Remember, there are still lots of people out there who love & care about you, dun make them worried… YOU CAN DO IT!
on April 23rd, 2008 at 10:30 am

Hi Bryan,
I am Master Wong’s niece. He suffered a lot these two months and death is a relief for him. His wife, son and goddaughter had been in and out of the hospital and it was very hard on them, esp, my aunti All of us are very sadden by his demise but guess we just have to continue to be strong. Just hope that my Aunti can be strong as she still has Zhaoxuan to take care of. We will all meet again in another world somewhere, someday…..
on April 23rd, 2008 at 9:46 pm

on April 24th, 2008 at 1:02 am
hey Bryan, be strong.
We can’t help much to alleviate your sadness.
But be strong.
on April 24th, 2008 at 3:59 pm
Wang Shifu is a nice person. I got really upset to know of his death from your blog. Bryan, do u know what happened to him? Is it sudden death? Im intending to find him to give me a date for my wedding. Looks like its no longer possible.
on April 24th, 2008 at 9:34 pm
what a shock. i recommended a good friend to see him two months ago. and i was planning to go to consult him myself. life is predestined?
on April 24th, 2008 at 11:53 pm
bryan. its part and parcel of life although i know no words can express how u feel at this point. go ahead and feel sad now…let all the sadness slip away…… hope you’ll recover from the shock and move on soon. life can be so sad…:( cry it out if u need, but dun grieve for long as i’m sure he would wish for your happiness. quite random but i think u’r a great guy so keep your spirits up. life goes on! hope your following post will be one of joy!

HI Bryan,
When i heard of the death of Master Ong, i was very sad too. It was really unbelievable.
I get to know master ong thru one of your friend, Patrick. He asked you for master’s ong contact. But that was couple years ago. And after that I keep visiting master ong for years. Every time i got problem with my work, relationship, i consult him. He gave me a very good advice.
Like your case, he was a good mentor for me.
I felt very pain when i heard of the news.
The last time i visited him was before chinese new year. He predicted my whole year fortune for me. And now i have some problem on work, and wanted to revisited him, he is no longer there.
As my friend said, A good master is hard to find. It takes us so many years to find him.
I am now searching some help on fortune telling, do you have any contact in BKK? Would be appreciate if you can send it to me thru an email.
Last, I wish you have all the best in 2008. Blessed.

Dearest Bryan,
Very sad to read about what had happened to Mr 王师傅, indeed i know how u had felt during that period.
But do tell urself that u will move on strongly as u used to be as 王师傅 will also do not wish to c u in that kind of state for long. Deep down in your heart, you know that 王师傅 is there to guide along your path (he may not be seen, but in the quiet mind of urs…u can hear him)
Do email me if you need some assistance and listener electronic..
Take Care,
CPY

Death is something that everyone will come to face with. I am sorry that you have lost someone dear like when I had lost my parents.
Our lives are like taking a bus trip, when we are borned, we aboard the bus. When we died, we alight from the bus. That’s why I always tell my friends and my children, to do what you always desire to do and enjoy every minute in life.
We shall give our prayers to Master Ong. May his soul be blessed. Be strong and live the life that you wanted and face your future.
Blessing for you, my friend.

HI Bryan, sorry to read about your master’s passing. Yes I do believe moths or insects come back in this form to reassure us that they are there and will be going to a fine place. I have many encounters with moths and butterflies. Take care!

Dear Bryan,
Life is short and unpredictable.
Treasure the people around you and if they leave this world behind you will have no regret.

Hi Bryan, I heard about the passing on of Master Ong from someone but was too late to pay my last respects… Unfortunately I do not have Haze aka goddaughter’s contact and I hope you can let me know what happend to him that leads to his demise.
My family and lots of friends’ lives had been touched by our highly respected Master Ong and we were all shocked and saddened by this devastating news….
He helped me and my wife to find a house last year, helped us do the Feng Sui begining of this year… and was the guiding light in my darkest moment in life when my carreer was in crisis… I am really concerned about what happend to him, and if possible, would like to pay my respects at the place his soul is…. Thanks in advance and may god bless the late Master….

Hi Bryan， like your earlier article， today this is also my pioneer visit to your blog. A chanced encounter brought me here. A familiar face we all seen on TV for the past decade，the bubbly voice whom we have always been hearing onscreen。Recently I‘ve also faced the passing on of one of my dearest friend who met with a mishap during NS。 I felt totally like what you wrote in your article。。。initally reaction was “you sure its true？” then came “this must be a joke！” followed by a sad nod and“ how and when did it happen！” Lastly a firm 10 sec of daze and saddness just shot through， mixture of emotions flooded our brain cells which gave us no time to react。‘Its true。。。this is true….’’for every human being out， this is definitely how it feels。。。A moment of disbelief which will always resurface once in a while in our mind without warning….

I remember master wong well, someone who is like a fatherly figure… always giving me the directions in life even though he know how stubborn i can be. Been always going for his advise since the texile building days…. Without his guidance, I guess I will not be where I am today. I remember his god-daughter well, she will always call me by Nurse Lim. If possible, can u help me get in touch with her? thanks so much for the help….
on October 11th, 2008 at 10:42 am
I’m sadden n shock to learn of Master Ong’s demises only today! I’ve been busy since last time I consulted him on fengshui for my house last Nov. I’ve been wanted to tell Haze to relay to him about how appreciative I am of him as this house chosen by him that I ‘m living in is getting better and better each passing days and also he’s fatherly advice to us when we’re down. Belonging to same dialect groups, I always feel the same sense of belonging and can relate to him well as he made me feel like a family. He also told me that apart from you Bryan , Daren Lim your colleague, is also a Hainanese. I’ve learnt my lesson now, when you appreciate someone, you must let him know soon how great he is and not procastinate. I’m so sorry for being late, Master Ong! Like you, Bryan, I feel the immense loss! Rest in peace, Master Ong! Thank you very much, You’ll always be remembered and appreciated for what you’ve done for me!
on October 22nd, 2008 at 11:34 am
yes, i was a loyal customer of Master Wang for last 5 years or so….very sad to hear his demise.
