Call 465 : BRIDGET JONES

Hello Son, 



The time on the computer says it's 1:11 pm now. 



Just the right time to make our long distance call.



Mom is re-reading Aunty D's sms, and still shaking her head in disbelief.



Seriously.



Aunty D said in her sms

"I asked my fren for her maid agency contact ... and she gave a guy's name, Pxx Kxx ... and I was wondering if this guy can be trusted bc he was asking for deposit d ... then ... look at his email at the end of conversation ..."



Mom immediately felt suspicious ... she didn't like the sound of the name ... no good can come from associating yourself with a stranger called Pxx Kxx ... What is Aunty D trying to do? Could she not smell a rat here?



Clicking on the image that Aunty D sent, Mom's eyes caught sight of the email and time stood for a good 3 seconds.



Omg ... she'd breathed softly to herself.



Seriously?



Omg ...



The email add reads : danielxxxxxxxxxx@yahoo.com 






Honestly, what are the chances? A million names that could have been on the email add, but it is one that would zap your aunt and your mother.



Mom dialled your aunt's number.



Aunty D said, "Hello ..."



Mom was like, "Eh, let me tell you what I did with my maid agency ..."



The line went dead.



H-huh? Hello? Hello?



Mom dialled again. 



Line was engaged. Aunty D was probably trying to call her.



So anyway, finally, when we spoke again, Aunty D was laughing out loud, as she said, "I think he doesn't want you to talk to me la ... hahahaha ... just when you said, let me tell you, the line was cut ... hahahaha ... he doesn't want you to tell me ... hahahaha ..."



Mom laughed. Yeah, okay ... that was a definite coinciDANS.



Also, Aunty D told her, "Look at the email add ... it also says kish ... (Aunty C's dog) ... and Uncle C (Aunty D's husband) pointed out, "It also says ana ... as in Anne (Grandma) ..."



Hmmm ... a stranger asking for 3k deposit ... but has a connecting add with the names daniel, ana and kish in it? Should that be enough assurance? On top of that, the line was cut when Mom wanted to caution your aunt.



Aiyoh Ma ... Where's your faith, Ma?





Grimace.



It's in a mustard seed somewhere ...



Yeah, okay ... Let's find the mustard seed, shall we?



You tell her where she should look first ...



Somebody get the magnifying glass ...



Humph ...



Anyway, Mom told Aunty D that when Mom applied for her maid, she had called the prospective candidate first in the maid's country and interviewed the maid over the telephone before paying the deposit to the agent, whom she has never met, but got his contact from a flyer that was left in the school's mail box.



So anyway ...



That was the zap we had this morning. 



Oh and don't forget, don't forget ... that whilst the sms-es and calls were happening this morning, Bridget Jones (The Edge of Reason) the movie, was on TV ... and You know, how Mom thinks Hugh Grant is cute ... 



Hugh Grant ... his character in the movie is Daniel Cleaver, if You remember ...



Pause ...



A longer pause here, please ...



And a little shake of the head ...



Very cleaver, Daniel ...



Smile ...



Over to You, Son ... <3


(Mom just found that mustard seed image, and gosh, You're not gonna believe this, but during this past week (which ended on Friday yesterday), we were doing HOME PETS and the children were taking care of a bowl fish ... during feeding time we have to remind the children, to take only a dot of a fish food ... on their tiny lil spoon ... to feed the fish ... the dot of which looked quite similar to the mustard dot ...



Gosh truly, Son ... eveywhere we are, everything we do, there You'll be ... doing it with us ...



Very cleaver, Daniel ... :D

Call 464 : FREE HUGS

Hello Son, 



It's Sunday 21st today.



Your 39th month away from home.



How You continue to make your presence felt to your family is simply amazing. God is really good to us, Daniel. Please tell Jesus Mom says thank you from the bottom of her heart ... for dying on the cross for us to conquer death. 



This morning, after mass, we walked to the car, which was parked by the road side.



Mom got into the front passenger seat, and soon found herself observing the lady in front of her getting into her car from the back (boot) door. 



Mom said to Dad, "Eh look, the woman is getting into her car from the boot ..."



Dad said, "Yeah, that car ... can ..."



A man slammed down the boot door ... and Mom let out a squeal.





Omg ... 



FREED ...



Dad said, "And that's my bike's number ..."



Decode : FREED 44



Your family has been zapped before by a FREED ... 



FREE -- and D for Daniel. Who would have thought that some day after You've left us, your pink FREE tee shirt could have so much impact on your family?



All part of the plan, isn't it?


Only yesterday (Saturday), Mom talked about the two parrots flying FREE -ly. By the way, Mom put on that movie again this afternoon, and You know what? Within 2 minutes after the movie started, the 732 appeared. Before that, she saw the ROCK ON hand sign ... that hand sign that You so loved to show. Isn't it weird that Mom put on that movie yesterday, after she wrote about 732 on your blog in the morning? Had she put on that movie say, 2 weeks later, she would have forgotten about the 732.



Precisely, Ma ...



Gosh ...



You really know your mother so well, huh?



732 ...



Decode : 21



All about today, huh. Your 21st.



On Friday 19th in fact, as Mom was searching for cartoon images for our next week's theme on PETS, she came across this image and was quite startled by it.






Yes, startled ...



Quite startled ...



You're not gonna believe this but just before your mother came across that FREE HUGS image, a 4 year girl J came to the office, and said, 

"Teacher Lynn, I want to give you a hug ... "



Bending towards the girl, Mom replied immediately with a smile, 

"Okay, c'mon you, give Teacher Lynn a hug ..."



J cut in abruptly, "but not now ... later, when I go back ..." 


and she walked away, leaving your mother staring behind her, quite, quite amused. J is a day care child and was then waiting for her mother to pick her up from school. This is evening time, possibly after 5 pm.



Mom had chuckled hearing that earnest line. 



Wouldn't You chuckle too?



Isn't that just too cute?



She had turned back to the computer. Whilst scrolling down the page, she found herself mumbling J's cute words, in good humour, "I want to give you a hug, but not now, later ... when I go back ..." and then suddenly, lo and behold, without warning, and quite unexpectedly, she saw herself staring at that FREE HUGS picture.



Oh my ...



Oh my gosh ...



Seriously?



Startled, she had leaned back against her chair ... and attempted to rewind the moment. 



What -- had -- just -- happened?



Rewind please.



She was looking for images ... then J came ... then J delivered her sentence ... and J left her  ... and she was mumbling that line, and ... and suddenly, she saw that ... that ... FREE HUGS image.



Omg ...



That was unbelievable.



Gosh, Daniel ... with that FREE HUGS' zap, Mom knows with absolute certainty that You're giving your mother -- a hug.



Yes, a hug.



A big hug, if she could be allowed to add that.



Sniff.






A mother knows ... of course a mother knows ... when her child is reaching out to give her a hug ... and that -- was -- it ... the impossible distance between heaven and earth will not and cannot, stop her from getting her son's message. God made it so.



It's so obvious. 



It's so clear. 



It's so easy, Ma ...



She hears her son ... His voice is loud and clear. The connection between a mother and her child is -- unbreakable. 



Like that -- that -- Say Nothing song. 



How does that song go again? 




It's amazing how You can speak right to my heart

Without saying a word, You can light up the dark

Try as I may, I could never explain

What I hear, when You don't say a thing ...



Silence ...



Shhhhh ...



Listen ...



Ticking of the clock on the wall ...



Sounds from the television ...



Big hug, Ma ...






That --- that she hears ...



Big hug back, Son ... <3 



Sniff ... 



God is so good to us ...



Keep the zaps coming ...



We love You so much, Daniel ...



Be good ...



 @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@




Sunday Nite @ 10:20 pm ...



Mom just have to tell You this before retiring for the night.



About an hour ago, she had called the tour agent. We are planning to go for our field trip i May, and Mom needed some information for her message to the parents. 


So, anyway, we will be visiting the a Farm place and a Chocolate Factory.



Mom asked, "What's the brand of the chocolate?"



She heard him say, "Vanson ..."



She scribbled down on a piece of paper.



"Vanson ..." she repeated. "Never heard of this brand before ..."



Then Mom asked, "V - for Vietnam?"



The agent replied, "No, Denmark ... D ... Denmark ..."



Mom was like, "Ohh, D ..."



She saw it immediately, and she gasped.


 
He spelt it out for her, 

"Denmark - Australia - Norway - Singapore - Osaka - Norway ..."      




She looked at the word.



Gasp.



Omg ...



DANSON ...



Dan Son ???



Zap zap zap ...



Oh my ... You must have whispered to Mom to get the name right. You know why, because in the end, she didn't need to use the name. She only needed to mention Chocolate Factory in her letter to the parents.



Oh my goodness, the television just mentioned "Daniel ..." (Dad's watching) at this point.



Gosh ...



Dan Son and Daniel at the same time of writing? Omg, what are the chances? 



You know Mom needs two signs, huh ...

 

Truly, Dan Son, everwhere we are, there You'll be ...
