张明通叔 - He was a extraordinary man I have ever known till now. He is able to perform extraordinary things that you just cannot believe your eyes and ears. Being able to tell you who you are, what happened to you before and most importantly, his ability to give you some prediction about your future makes him a famous Feng Shui Master around this region.
I've got to know this man since I was a kid. He was always with dad and his 'project' of erecting a grand "Feng Shui' for our ancestors back in China back in the year 1996-1997 makes me have a deep memory of him. Lots of story was heard of him performing many acts that an ordinary person may not have even seen before such as 'cleansing' you from evil spirits, cleansing of spirits from homes and even his consultation by many well known figures around the state.
He was a great man indeed. Unfortunately, he has left us on 7th July 2009. Me and dad was at Sibu when he left us and we rushed back to attend his funeral. His funeral was the grandest by far I've attended and I was honored to be their photographer for the ceremony on the last day of the mourning that lasted for 4 days.
Here, though this post is late, I would like to extend my heartiest condolence to 张明通叔's family especially to Chong Siew Boon and Chong Siew Choon, who was with us and whom I've got to know them personally.
My greatest respect for uncle for being such a great and extraordinary man I've got to know. May you rest in peace in the other world.
Here are the pictures taken on the very last day:
