CALL 649 : CLARK KENT

Hello Son, 


So on Saturday, Feb 11, Mom was scrolling 

through her handphone and came across a person 

who complained that Starbucks billed her 

credit card for like, USD4K for 2 orders of coffee!


USD4,000!!!


Mom mentioned that to Justine, your sister, 

and asked her to be aware when presenting her 

credit card for payment, because Jus also frequents 

Starbucks, and rarely pays with cash.

 

Justine was on the sofa. We were continuing with

the next episode of SMALLVILLE. 

Haha. We are at Season 7 now.


Anyway, Mom continued to read the tale, 

and came across the receipt shared by 

the complainant.

 

O

Do you see the angel numbers on the receipt?


Seriously???


Gratuity ... 

 

Starbucks charged USD 4444.44 ?


Mom had to smile.


Only that morning, at about 10 am at home,

Dad was going through with Mom,

the cypto transaction.


Mom wanted to know, like once and for all,

how to umm, buy a coin.


Lol.




The figures and potential was overwhelming

in cryptocurrency, to say the least ... 

and seeing the receipt now with 4444.44 

on a coffee bill, is really telling your mother 

the kind of impact this crypto is gonna give.


ZAP ZAP ZAP!!!






On Sunday, Feb 12 ...

Dad, Mom and Justine went for the 11:30 am mass.

 

During the communion hymn, we sang this song :

 

In Bread We Bring You Lord.

 

One of your mother's favourite hymn.  


It has been awhile since Mom heard this song,

and she sang whole-heartedly.


Sing like no one is listening ...

Dance like no one is watching ...


Yeah, that kind ...


So anyway, after mass, we went to the grotto 

and said a prayer to Mother Mary.


We walked to the car shortly after.


In the car, for some reason,

Mom found herself searching for 

"who wrote the hymn in bread we bring you lord"


Click SEARCH.


Mom read out the top info staring at her face. 


".. written by English Catholic Priest Kevin Nichols ..."


Scrolled down ... and gasped!

 

 

O

 

 

M

 

 

G

 

 

You - don't - say ...

 

Seriously???

 

What are the chances???

 


12:48 pm


Mom exclaimed out loud.


"OMG ... Daniel sang this song ..."


Of all the names in the whole wide world,

your name popped up?


Daniel ...


Mom couldn't believe the coinciDANS.


Your mother was like, "When have I ever ...

I mean, like EVER, searched for the writer of 

a hymn?" 

 

Dad shook his head. 

 

Never.

 

Justine was quiet, taking everything in.

 

Gosh, seriously ...

 

In all your mother's years of living ... in all her life,

she has never done a search on a writer of a hymn ..."


And this morning, she had to ?


Her son must have whispered to her.


Search for the person who wrote that hymn, Ma ...


You must have whispered in your mother's ears.


At the point of writing this, Mom checked the 

time the photo was screenshot.

We were driving to the mall. 

 

Your sister wanted to get a pair of shoes and a blazer for work.


Mom noticed the car in front of us on the highway.



12:50 pm


DDD 501



DDD???

 

What???

 

Why ... only last week (Feb 5th) Mom mentioned to you about

DDD in Call 648.

That's You. 

 

Nobody, nobody but YOU!!!



12:50 pm


At that same moment, on the second lane,

(the red car was on the right lane)

there was a silver car with the numbers

 

6666

 

666 is always Mom.

 

Her birth month and year.

Gosh. The 2 cars, side by side.


"My son's is practically talking to me!"


Mom said laughing, and pointing at the cars.


Plus the Daniel, the hymn writer.


Wow!!!


ZAP ZAP ZAP!!!


That was awesome, Daniel.


You always know how to make your presence felt.


Thanks Son, for always reminding us that you are near.


So anyways, we reached the mall.


Entering the carpark, Dad lamented about the car parks,

being a Sunday, it would be difficult to find a parking space.


That's why normally Dad doesn't like to go to the mall on weekends.


Justine needed to get her shoes and blazer though. 

She has just started work this week.

 

Guess what?


Right after taking the entry ticket,

before our eyes,

Mom saw a car pulling out of their bay.


Mom pointed.


Dad couldn't believe it.



That red car was going out.


What a nice parking space.


For one vehicle only.


Immediately after we entered.


Awesome!


Thanks, Son!


That's clearly you.


Had we arrived just one minute earlier, 

we would have driven past that bay.


Fantastic angel timing.



At the mall, we walked around.


Trying on shoes ...


Jackets ...





It wasn't until your sister went into Clarks (shoes) ...



 

and we walked out for a bit to look at more shoes 

before buying that Clarks pair ...

when we saw this big sign right in front of us.



OMG!!!

 

 



Can that number 21 be any bigger???

 

Not only that ...

 

but take a moment and look 

at the name on the shirt too ...


TOMLINSON



Lin = Lynn (Mom)

 

Son = You


Tom ... OMG ... 

 

Tom ...

 

As in Tom Welling ...

 

 

We have been watching Smallville 

the past few weeks ...


And helloOooo ..


Clarks ...


As in Clark Kent???


Pause.

 

Jackpot.

 

Hahahahahaha.


It was just too funny.

 

Mom said, "Your brother knows we are watching Smallville. 

Look -- Tom Welling and Clarks ... Hahahaha."


What are the chances that Mom would get the connection?


Clearly, you whispered into your mother's ear.

 

Good one, Son.

 

How did you manage to do that?



Seriously, 


You were definitely with us at the mall.


We could feel your presence, Daniel.


Thank you so very much, Son, for sending all the zaps 

to remind us you are beside us all the time.



(continue in a bit -- dinner is ready)






Mom's back.


So we had dinner in front of the telly,

watching Smallville ... 

Haha ...

the episode on Warrior's Angel.


Anyways, today, Monday Feb 13th,

after school, Dad and Mom went to a nearby mall

to have a quick lunch and to get some groceries.

 

We were driving on the road,

behind this car.


1:25 pm


Of course, Mom saw the 21.


Your mother commented with some humour, 

"Y ... Y ... Son is asking WHY I have not called him ..."


Chuckle.


Then Mom noticed the car on her left :



1721

8 21


44 21


ZAP ZAP ZAP!!!



You were clearly with us.


Dad and Mom had lunch at a 

 Vietnamese eatery.


After a yummy bowl of noodles,

your parents went to the grocer.


Dad wanted to prepare a special dinner for 

tomorrow - Valentine's Day.


Dad is making salmon and pasta.


Mom is making pumpkin soup.


Justine will be back from work late, about 8 pm.


Your sister made a chocolate cake 

after dinner just now.


With OREOS.


No flour.


No egg.


No butter.


No oven.


We steamed the blended OREOS powder.


Will take a photo for you to see tomorrow ya.


So anyway, whilst Mom was at this aisle (below photo), 

with Dad, Mom suddenly caught sight of the word
 

FREE


at a distance away. 

It quickly disappeared as fast as it appeared. 

 

OMG.



Mom zoomed in.




You must have seen your mother just 

walked right up to the cashier, 

and pretended to aim her camera here and there.


Ahh, click.




Hmm, ask me about FREE?


Pause.


Y, Daniel? Y??


Y ask you about FREE???


YOU are FREE.


Lol.


Telephatic messages were bouncing to and fro,

from earth up to the end of the rainbow.


FREE


We got a bottle of RIBENA

to make popsicles for the children tomorrow in school,

being a Valentine treat, along with pink coloured,

heart-shaped marshmallows, individually wrapped.


Cute.


When we got home, Mom was resting at the sofa.


She turned on the telly and thought she would 

check out "Ribena popsicles."


It can't be difficult to make popsicles.


Just that she has never made them.


So anyway, she picked this video.




Oh boy.


A few seconds into the video, 

and Mom saw that FREE word again.


OMGosh.


Daniel Jason Phua.


ZAP ZAP ZAP!!!


2 times FREE???


Clearly, not a coinciDANS.


Her son is reminding her that he's right beside here.


Thanks Son.


Always good to have you with us 

every second of the day.


Everywhere we are, there you'll be ...




Over to you, Son.


We are missing you every minute.


Thank God, we are still able to connect in this

unbelievable way.


Thank you, Jesus and Mother Mary.

 

1t's late. 11:15 pm.

 

Justine has gone to bed.

 

Dad is listening to his slow jazz.


Nite Son.


Sweet Dreams.
