After the chalet in Dec'03 I would always call him 'Shifu' when I see him...
He was the only one among my friends who was willing to teach me to play mahjong... I was always rejected when I asked my other friends to teach me, I can understand that who would want to gif up their time & seat to teach u... They will always tell me to jus stand behind & watch & learn... that day in the chalet was exactly the same scenario... But then he jus said "How to learn Mahjong when ur hands are not touching the tiles at all?" He, then, just stood up & offered me his seat... at that point of time... Till now... I was so grateful... He taught me patiently, about the rules, the type of tiles, how to win & how to observe ur opponents etc... Though the time seemed short, but he managed to teach me all the fundamental of the game... And Then, I started to CHALLENGE him… That's why he will always say I "bei4 pan4 shi1 men2"... I must say, I am not a good disciple b’cos I always forgot the rules & anyhow eat & pong & take extra tiles &... I asked for revision lesson... And he just left...
I forgot the time, but think is around noon... while Val started a MSN conversation with me asking for his Home no... I didn't suspect a thing, just maybe she had something urgent to look for him... then halfway through the talk, Val suddenly break the news to me... I thought it was a joke then I called her, her tone sound serious.. I dun believe her... I msged Desmond... Then Kim Hau called... Then Ann msged me... I called Ann to confirm again... I still don't believe them, At All... I waited, till I heard the news trough the radio, 17:35, then his relative, using his Hp, called me, 17:35:50. The flash of “Ivan Calling†really shocked me… I was still hoping that when I answered the call Ivan would tell me that it was a prank… but no… I was informed, formally… I broke down… so lost, the feeling I would say…
Ivan, I prepared some jokes and qian4 bian3 wen4 da2 ti2 for u, waiting to meet u one day & tell u… I told them all in ur wake… Is not nice to tell jokes there, but I jus hope that u could hear them all… U left too abruptly… That time we visit the KTV was actually the 1st time I held mike to sing and the last time I saw u & qi1 li3 xiang1 was the song I tried to sing with u… jus wan to say that u r really soft & monotone… And that time I was thinking if next time we go for singing, I would delicate that song before u did and dun let u sing… U made me feel that life is really so fragile, wat are u really thinking at that time? For each outing, I always feel that u left without informing (or to me only), halt a cab & left the group… If that is ur character, u can jus tell us, no need to prove to us… All ur friends can’t take it… U know…
I believe in spirits, so that day for the very accurate timing I heard the news and ur relative used ur Hp to call me to make me scare was actually the last joke u made to me… And for Thursday, I met Ziyin in that Long train, without arrangement, later meeting with Desmond & Jiun Hoe was actually all ur arrangement… I believe… As u already have the power to know that I was actually timid. U scared me and later arranged friends to accompany me to make up for the joke u played on me… I believe… And I thank you for wat u did, ur friendship, ur guidance, ur jokes and ur everything… I really hope that u will be peaceful & happy in the world u are in now… Rest assured (this is jus wat i can say now), u left enough things to make ur friend to remember u… Esp the mahjong u left me & many other memories…
Thanks Shifu…
