Hello Son, (continue from Call 240)

13. Back To December
We walked over to the next building that was within walking distance of the hotel. Dad had parked the car at this mall that is adjacent to the hotel. We slowly took our time strolling to the lift. \
On the way there, your sister tried out the new iPad2.
Justine tried to convince Dad that she needed one of these.
Dad didn't think so. Your sister hasn't given up.
It's a battle of wits alright ... will let You know the outcome. :D
Anyway ...
We came to the lift, pressed the going - down button. After waiting for a few minutes, Dad said,
"Let's take the stairs."
You must have heard your mother groaned. She wasn't wearing her "take the stairs" pair of shoes.
Dad kinda insisted, saying that, "It's only one floor down" and
"It's good exercise."
"It's good exercise."
Not one darn good reason ...
Anyway, Jus pulled Mom by the arm, and she had no choice but to take the stair case. Mom was carefully watching her step as she walked down. As we were about to reach the parking level at the basement, Justine turned around and asked,
"Heard that?"
H-huh? W- what? Heard what?
Your sister let out a sucking sound of impatience. She stood like a statue and pointed her finger up. Mom stopped to listen. There was a faint music in the background. Pricking her ears up like a German Shepherd, Mom caught the lyric :
Back to December ...

Mom pulled out her cellphone to check the time, before showing it to Justine, with a somewhat triumphant smile.
It showed 12:29 pm.

Her - 1 Am Number 4 - is definitely near.
Oh yes, he is ... :D
Oh yes, he is ... :D
Since a friend had uploaded this Taylor Swift's video:
BACK TO DECEMBER ...
on your facebook page on Friday, June 10,
we were zapped THREE TIMES that following Sunday, June 12.
That entry is still owing. Sorry about that, Son. Will tell You about the inciDANS real soon. :D
Call 236 : Carol's Birthday
So anyway, hearing the Back To December song at the staircase, odd as that may be, was somewhat special, having had that three times zap a week ago.
Yes, it was awesome.
Imagine, had we taken the lift, we would not have heard it. It was so noisy at the mall we weren't aware there was music at all. And it wasn't like the song was played loudly in the first place ...
It was faint ...

You really had to pay attention to notice it.
Not only that but check out the timing. We were only at the staircase for not more than 3 minutes, taking 2 flight of stairs down to the parking floor.
Yet, during that short time, this Back To December song had to come on to zap us? So so so meant to be.

It could have been a song that had no connection ... but no.
It had to be a zap - song.
Yes Daniel ... Mom goes Back to December all the time ...
All the time, Son ...
All the time ... <3
That Christmas Eve @ 4:41 pm ...
Call 43 : Angel Sign
When God delivered that special bundle of joy into the arms of your parents ...
Our second bundle ...
14. You'll Never Walk Alone
Justine was at the wheel, following closely behind a line of vehicles that were going through the exit bar, one by one.
At one particular point, your sister moved the car forward and stopped. Mom was sitting on the left side, of the back seat and happened to be looking out of the window at that moment, caught sight of a large sticker on the back screen of a stationary car that said:

ZAP ZAP ZAP !!!
OMG !!!
Mom sprang forward in her seat as she almost yelled out to Dad. Those words were staring back, (almost) right in front of her eyes.
OMG ... She was so meant to see that sticker.
More importantly, the message.
Had Justine not stopped at that moment, Mom would not have seen it. We would have just passed it. Had she sat on the right side of the car, she would have been looking out of the other window. She would not have seen it.

OMG ... Meant to be. So meant to be.
You'll never walk alone ...
Mom hears You, Son ...
She got your message ...
That is such a precious line ...
Your Mama's so gonna hold You to that ...
15. Firework
We went to Midvalley Mall after that. Grandma mentioned there was a new cafe that she wanted Mom to check out. Grandma apparently likes the decor of that cafe and wanted Mom to incorporate some ideas to the school design. And so we went there to have a look - see.
Yup, it was kinda cute, she must say ... but it was cafe - cute.
Not kindy - cute, You know ...
Anyway, shortly after, we walked over to the 3rd floor of Jusco to get some file folders. You're so not gonna believe this but we stepped in to that departmental store, and Mom had walked to the files and folders section, when a familiar song hit the air...
Do You ever feel like a plastic bag ...
Call 151 L Major Fireworks
O -- M -- G ...
ZAP ZAP ZAP ...
ZAP ZAP ZAP ...
Firework ...
OMG ...
OMG ...
This song is like forever in Jusco ...
This is not the first time she hears Firework in Jusco ...
The time was 3:17 pm.
Decode : 3:44
Note the decoded time because something amazing would soon happen.
Your mother was humming the song under her breath as she pulled out a folder with a floral design. She remembers wondering why she did not hear any song before Fireworks came on. Wasn't there a song before Fireworks? There appeared to be no song before that.
Strange huh. That's why when the music suddenly broke through, your mother was quite - OMG OMG OMG - startled, though pleasantly so.
After the song ended, Mom waited for the next song to come on ...
And she waited ...
And waited ...
And waited ...
20 minutes soon passed ...
No other song came on ...
Mom was very alert and was consciously waiting for the next song because she had been quite sure that there was no song overhead when she stepped into that floor just now.
Only Fireworks had come on.
Oh Wow ...
Only that Zap - song? Oh My ... That certainly got your mother thinking ... and wondering ...
Suddenly, there was an announcement about a boy who was lost and to the parents, to meet at a certain counter.
Mom heard it. Dad heard it.
Almost immediately, we saw a small drama enfold before us, some 20 steps away. The store staff and a security guard appeared to be coaxing and running after, at the same time, a boy who could not have been more than 5 years old. The boy was literally screaming his little lungs out.
Mom found herself reaching for her handphone and checking the time. It showed 3:44 pm. She stared at her cell in disbelief before showing Dad the time. Dad saw it.
OMG ...
Mom was transfixed, as she stood there on the spot, observing the staff trying to persuade the boy to calm down, but the boy, obviously terrified of strangers, continued screaming and crying, to the point of being "hysterical" (Dad's words).

Seeing that inciDAN, Mom was reminded instantly of the time when You were lost in a mall.
"Remember the time when Dans was lost?" Mom asked Dad.
Dad said, "Yeah ..."
We were at a huge mall in the States, You were 10 years old then. Mom was not aware that You were lost, until she heard the announcement on the overhead speakers calling for her, Lynn Phua, to please go to counter ...
It must have been nerve-racking for You to go up to the cashier-people and asked them to page for your mother. In an unfamiliar place too. Dad and Mom thought that was so brave of You to do that. You were not crying when Mom saw You from a far and hurried over, only when we were reunited ...
Awwww ... It's all coming back to us now, Son ...
"Did we have to see that?" Mom mumbled almost to herself.
We sure did ... for that ZAP and that CONNECTION.
Call 234 : Paper Message
It is only at the point of writing this entry that Mom realized that the time of Fireworks and the time of her cell when she saw the missing boy inciDAN are both at 3:44 ...
Oh Wow ...
What are the chances ???
Honestly ...
If that's not a clear Zap and a Connection, tell her what is ... :D
Everywhere we are, there you'll be ...
GOD is so good ...
