Call 201 : NICE WORK

Hello Son,

Saturday, April 16

1. E! News

This evening, Mom was getting ready to leave the condo. Dad would be arriving soon at the coach station. She was about to shut the windows in the living room, when the now familiar DON'T YOU FORGET ABOUT ME song filled the air. This song had come on the day before, on American idol, and made quite an impact on your mother. 


Like You didn't know ... :D

Call 200 : Orange Pillow

Mom was only in the living room area very, very briefly ... and during that brief time, this DON'T YOU FORGET ABOUT ME song had to come on??? 


Right - at - that - time??? 


Gee Wow ... Talk about perfect timing. Had she come out to the television area just one minute later, she would have missed the song-message for sure.




So meant to be.




Pausing, Mom saw David Cook on E! News.






Hey, by the way, your mother was not aware that this DON'T YOU FORGET ABOUT ME version is sung by David Cook. She had thought the whole time it was the Simple Minds version. 


You must be correcting your mother, huh.

See Call 200 : Orange Pillow

It's David Cook, Mom. Not Simple Minds. :D

David Cook mentioned something about doing some kind of tour to raise funds to find a cure for brain cancer.




Brain cancer ...




It had to be this word huh. 


Let's not magnify on it and give it unnecessary significance. The word was uttered right at the moment when she could hear it. It really is strange how Mom gets these lil zap - messages now and then, and here and there ... the timing is always so immaculate. 



The first, very first time, Mom heard this word associated with You was over the phone in Subang Jaya Medical Center, way back when You were 7+ years old. A friend had heard that You were admitted and had called Mom. Mom remembers very clearly, that her friend had said to her, that her (the friend) son, possibly the same age as you then, had asked her what a brain tumor was, and she had said to him, it's brain cancer. 



Mom had flinched as if the word stung her.

Dot 9 : Scan ... Dot 21 : Cyst

That word somehow has always had a terror effect on the family, and had reverberated through and through, within her, as she listened silently on the other end. After hanging up, and assuring her friend that everything will be okay, Mom decided that your health challenge would remain a family secret. 


God's grace will be sufficient to see us through, Mom remembers consoling herself bravely. In the past, during a difficult period of our lives, when Grandpa and Aunty Tracy were struggling with their battle, remarks received from well-meaning people have had a way of causing her to spiral down emotionally and spiritually. 


No, it's not their fault, she knows. 


It's just her ... 



She - was - born - this - way ...

Snapping out of her dreary thoughts, Mom glanced at the clock. It was 7:40 pm already. Still early. Like a zombie, she shut the windows and turned off the television. Then, she flopped down on to the sofa and just - sat there ...


Like a rock.


She must have dozed off after staring at the carpet for the longest time. An in-coming text message beeped in. Dad said to leave the house about now ...

2. Brickfields

It was 8:45 pm when Mom was driving through Brickfields.




She was heading towards the traffic lights. The road branches off into two at the lights, the train station is on the right, and the coach station on the left. Mom was gonna take the right turn to the train station. That was where she had dropped Dad to board his coach down south.




As she was approaching the traffic lights, a text message came in. It was dark in the car, and Mom was driving. However, something made her read the text and not wait till later.




Good thing she did, because the text was from Dad. He said he would be arriving at the station in Bangsar - which means, Mom should take the "left turn" at the lights. 

Oh boy ... just in the nick of time! 

You must have been shaking your head when You saw your mother on the right lane, waiting in line, intending to turn right when the light changed. Good thing she managed to signal her way out and slowly squirm her way to the left, without endangering anyone in the process, and more importantly, not have any driver honk at her. 


She hates that, You know right?



Welcome to KL ... 




Her bee-pee must have shot sky high within the last two minutes. Anyway, she arrived at the coach station shortly. 


Dad hopped into the car some 15 minutes later. 


Mom couldn't wait to tell Dad that You must have whispered to him to send the text ... :D 


"He knows I was about to take the wrong turn," Mom said with a big, knowing grin. :D 


Dad remarked, "You've picked me up from the station so many times and you're still getting it wrong???"




"Yup, isn't it funny - so many times - yet You still sent me the sms to tell me where to go," Mom flashed Dad a victorious smile. 


"It's him, I tell You ..." she added triumphantly.


Nice work ... :D

3. Fireworks

We went to a friend's house after that. There was a pot luck dinner which we had informed earlier that we would attend. So, Dad stopped by a coffee shop in Lucky Garden and bought a packet of fried bee hoon and a packet of fried rice. We have to bring something ...


During dinner at our friend's place, Mom cannot remember what the conversation was about at one point, but one of our friends who happened to be sitting beside Mom, mentioned the word Fireworks.

 
Fireworks ???



Zzzzzaaaa -- pppp !!!!



That started Dad going about the awesome Fireworks' demonstration that happened right outside our window on the 10th floor, during the Chinese New Year period.


Call 151 : Major Fireworks


Mom felt your presence instantly. She must must have been eating her food with a perpetual smile on her face after that. :D How awesome to know that You are always near.




Everywhere we are, there you'll be ... <3

Call 200 : ORANGE PILLOW

Hello Son,


Gonna go back to some inciDANS that Mom has yet to tell You. We were on Call 194 : Heaven Rocks (Thursday, April 14) when we jumped the days and went to Tuesday, April 19 (Call 195 : Believe, Mom). 



Friday, April 15

1. The Camp

Today, Justine would be going to Tapah for a weekend camp with her college mates. She was in school. Mom would be meeting her later about 12 noon, to pass her, her camping stuff. The students will be leaving from college at 2:30 pm.

Meanwhile at home, your mother was receiving short text messages from your sister reminding her to pack toothbrush, nail clipper, torch light, contact lens' solution etc. At one point, Mom asked Jus, if she wanted to bring your orange pillow. Jus had said not to pack too many things. At the last camp, she had brought your orange pillow. The pillow, although small, would still be bulky when stuffed into her bag.



Your sister had replied, "Yesh ..."




You know what happened then ...




OMG ... You're not gonna believe this. 


Mom was making up Justine's bed at the time. After reading her YESH reply, Mom put down the handphone on a nearby wall-cabinet. She was fluffing Justine's duvet in the bedroom when suddenly, she saw a tiny white feather fluttering in the air, before it slowly floated back on the bed. It could have only come from the bed.




Oh my goodness ... A white feather on Justine's bed???

OMG ...




How precious. And a white one??? Mom couldn't help but grin as she picked it up, recalling the inciDAN the night before. She did not mention that inciDAN in the entry of Thursday, April 14 (Call 194), because she did not think this was going to be significant.




Last night (Thursday, April 14) ... while Mom was ironing in the laundry room, she had spotted a gray feather on top of the keyboard, near the window. The ironing board was like a foot away from the window. The thing is, the windows in this room are always closed, and had not been opened recently. Mom had wondered how the feather got in.




Since the feather was gray, Mom had thought to herself,

"this one's not counted." 

Besides, shouldn't it be white? :D Anyway, she can't be expected to get excited each time she sees a feather ... Especially when it wasn't even of the right color. 


So, she ignored it. She left it there, on the keyboard and continued her ironing.

 The keyboard, is by the wall, covered with a pink towel.

That gray feather was last night's inciDAN. 


Today, a white feather flutters before her eyes???



O -- M -- G ...




Zzzzzaaaa -- pppp !!!!




Mom felt your presence immediately. :D

You wanted a white one, Mom ? :D

Chuckle. You read her mind. How that white feather ended up on your sister's bed is not for Mom to know. The MANGA book has prepared your mother for this.

And Call 128 : White Feather


That was awesome, Daniel. :D

2. In the Car

Mom left the house about 11 am. As she was driving out of the condo area, a helicopter flew in front of her view at close range. The time on the dashboard showed 11:02 am.




Decode : 4




A smile appeared on your mother's face. :D

See Call 86 : Sky Show

You're near, she could tell. It was the perfect timing. Had she drove out one minute earlier or later, she would have missed the helicopter at that close distance.




The radio was on. The time was then 11:05 pm. 



A preview of several songs had come on the radio, starting with the first song, I AM SAILING (Rod Steward). Mom did not pay much attention to the next 2nd or 3rd brief lines until she heard this one-liner from Michael Jackson :




You are not alone, I am here with You ... 

She literally found herself holding her breath. 


Oh my ... how perfect was that?




She had to smile to herself. How could she not? Her son was giving her a message. :D Yes, Mom was thinking too, that she would be alone this weekend. Dad was down south, and Jus would be at camp. That song-message was precious, Son. 



Soon, (after the previews) that first song, I AM SAILING began to fill the car.

I am sailing, I am sailing ...

Mom listened quietly.



I am sailing ... No, no zap. No connection. Well, unless a remote - controlled boat that Grandma bought for You after your 3rd surgery is counted. Does that count, she wondered. 


Nah, she finally chided herself ... she was trying too hard. Then, the second verse came on ...

I am flying, I am flying ...

Like a bird, cross the sky ...

I am flying, passing high clouds ...

To be with you, to be free ...

I -- am -- flying ???



OMG ... 



Zzzzzaaaa -- pppp!!!!



Mom's eyes shot to the time at the first line. It was 11:11 am.

You really are with your mother today, aren't You? :D

3. The Star Papers


Mom arrived a wee bit too early at the college. 

She parked the car. Of course, there was one vacant spot waiting for Mom. :D She stopped by to buy The Star Papers before going to a nearby cafe. She was flipping through the papers, from front to back, the usual way, as she was sipping her white coffee. 


Justine called at 12 noon. Mom met up with her and passed her camping bag ... and the orange pillow. :D


Back home ... Mom was on the sofa, flipping through the papers ... this time, from back to front.




Flip flip flip ...




She found herself stopping at the obituary page.




Mom used to avoid this page like the plague but not now. 


A poem on the bottom left of the page had caught her eye. She read it slowly. The first two lines told her that this is the same poem that was posted by a reader on your facebook a few months after You left. Mom read on until the last line ...

God saw You getting tired

And a cure was not meant to be

So He put his arms around You

And whispered "Come to Me"

With tearful eyes, we watched You

As we saw You slip away

Although we love You dearly

We could not make You stay

Your golden heart stopped beating

Hard working hands at rest

God broke our hearts to prove to us

He only takes the best

Can You imagine how surprised your mother was when she reached the end of the poem and saw your name?

This picture is taken at this angle because Mom was trying to avoid the man's full name. 

Now, it looks like your mother has captured : Daniel 2011 ... (Decode : 4) ... 

Daniel 4

Zzzzzaaaa -- pppp !!!




OMG ... The Bond. The Stars. The Fireworks. 



It was unbelievable!



Honestly, what are the chances of seeing your name under this poem on the RIP page today? The man's name on this notice was A.G. Daniel, by the way.




With Dad down south and Justine at camp, You wanna make sure Mom knows she's not alone, huh. You're a good boy, Son ... :D You were practically keeping your mother company.

4. Initial D

Mom was working on her article before the computer, with the television on in the background. It would have been way too quiet without the telly. At one point, she heard a line that ZAPPED her and made her turn to look at the TV screen. 


A character had said :




"She doesn't mention his name. She uses the initial D ..."




It was an episode from Desperate Housewives. The time was 4 pm. 


She - uses - the - initial - D? 


So many alphabets from A to Z, and yet it was the letter D that had to be mentioned. The one letter that would zap her.


A smile must have escaped from your mother. Her son was really keeping her company that evening. :D How cute is that? :D

5. Firework

Mom returned to her work. That was a nice break, she thought. 


About an hour and a half later, GLEE was on.  There was one particular moment when your mother found herself stopping to watch. A familiar music had filled the house. 


Soon, Rachel started singing :

Do You ever feel like a plastic bag ...

OMG ... 





Zzzzzaaaa -- pppp !!!!






Oh my goodness, that Glee gal was belting out Firework ...

Call 151 : Major Fireworks

The time was about 6 pm. Woah Son, Mom's feeling your presence throughout the day. She knows You were / are with her. 


She does. 


It's a mother's intuition. 




A mother knows when her child is with her. :D




She knows.

6. American Idol

Mom took a walk downstairs to the cafeteria to buy some dinner for herself. Back in the condo, she was having her kam heong chicken with rice whilst watching American Idol. 


Anyway, your mother was munching away as she watched Ryan Seacrest introducing Kelly Clarkson and Jason (something) with their song, DON'T YOU WANNA STAY.






Huh ???




Say what ???






Jason ???






Zzzzzaaaa -- pppp !!!







Mom couldn't help but grin from ear to ear. You must have seen her. C'mon ... how could she not grin like a Cheshire cat with a big fat mouse? First, Daniel, and now Jason? Both your names on the same day? 



Oh my ...




What a coinciDANS ... :D






"You really are with Mom, aren't You, Son?" she had said aloud to You. You must have nodded and grinned back. :D Nobody, not one person in this whole wide world, would be able to tell your mother that You didn't do just that.




Nobody.





The time was about 6:30 pm. Yup, "about." The clock at home is not digital.

7. Rihanna

The next guest star was invited to perform during the break. 


Ryan Seacrest introduced Rihanna. Mom watched, not expecting anything to happen. Just as Rihanna sang the first line, your mother received a big OMG - ZAP like You will not believe.





Chest to chest ... started Rihanna on the very first line. 



Time stood very still for your mother.






Excuse me ... but - did Rihanna just say...






Chest --- to --- chest ???




















Oh
















My
















Gosh ...

Chest to chest? OMG ...


What are the chances? Who says chest to chest but Mom to You? This was our line. You remember, don't You? You were in lower secondary at the time, and had started to somehow feel a wee bit embarrassed when your aunties hug and squeeze You. You would soon begin to show your "uncomfortable face," as Aunty Diana would describe.



Anyway, one day, Mom asked for a hug. 



Big hug, Daniel, Mom had said. 



You got up from where You were sitting, walked to the bedroom, brought out a pillow, held it in front of You, before giving your mother a hug, so that the pillow was positioned in between Mom and You.






Hehehehehehehehehe ...






Mom had thrown her head back and laughed, before telling You firmly, "Nope, no pillow. Chest to chest." Your cheeks went all red before You obliged. After that first chest to chest request, all further hugs had to be classified clearly ... the "chest to chest" hug ... otherwise the pillow would appear ... :D Dad reminded Mom at the point of writing this paragraph that on a few occasions, Mom would add, boobs to boobs ... :D just to see You go beetroot. Yes, Mom remembers that. You do too, don't You?

Chest to chest

Nose to nose

Palm to palm

We were always just that close 

(Title : California King Bed)

OMG Daniel ... Honestly, what are the chances of Mom hearing this phrase ever again ... Mom was totally overwhelmed by emotion at that precious moment. 



Chest to chest, Daniel ... No pillow ...




You really were with your mother that evening, when she was alone at home. She felt your presence strongly when this line came on. See how You introduced it to her? Just before the chest to chest song, You had zapped her first with the Jason name to get her attention. When her thoughts were centered on You, lo and behold, came the line ...




Chest -- to -- chest ...






OMG ... That was incredible !!!






Totally, totally incredible.

7. Angel Number

A commercial break came on. Mom cannot remember if it was immediately after Rihanna's song. She thinks it was, but she's not sure. 




Anyway, would You believe it but your mother was further zapped when she saw her angels numbers appearing on the screen at the material time ...

4040 Mondays

"We go through 4040 Mondays in our life time" ... 

said the announcer ...

Oh Wow ... Of all the numbers to appear on the television screen, it had to be her angel number ...

Yeah, who indeed ... :D:D:D

8. A Special Message

Anyway, American Idol was coming to an end. Idol Contestant Paul will be going home. A video showing his Idol journey from the beginning to the present time was shown. 


Nothing unusual about that.




Everything was as normal as could be.




Mom honestly did not expect any fireworks anymore. So many signs had come on today - she was ecstatic already. :D Just as she thought she couldn't get any more ZAPs, a song that came on in the middle of Paul's video, ZAPPED her. 



Your mother could not believe her ears.




OMG ...






You have got - ta be kidding ...

Don't You forget about Me ...

OMG ... 




Zzzzzaaaa -- pppp !!!!

This song would not have been significant except that, the same song had zapped your mother exactly one week ago the Friday before, on April 8 (Call 187).

Don't You forget about Me ...

Forget about You ??? 




That's an impossibility. It could never happen. The bond between mother and son is forever. It cannot be severed. Our souls are connected. Besides, Dad bought Mom a book with that exact title, remember?



You are right here in our hearts, Daniel ... <3

We'll stay forever this way

You are safe in my heart

Call 199 : EASTER SUNDAY

Hello Son,

Today is Easter Sunday. :D 

The most important and significant day of the year.

Today, we are reminded again ... and again ... and again ... that You are very much alive in Jesus. :D Thank you Jesus for dying on the cross for us. Your resurrection has saved us from the fires of h*ll and grant us eternal life with You.

Matthew 28:1-10

After the Sabbath, at dawn on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to look at the tomb. There was a violent earthquake, for an angel of the Lord came down from heaven and, going to the tomb, rolled back the stone and sat on it. His appearance was like lightning, and his clothes were white as snow. The guards were so afraid of him that they shook and became like dead men. 

The angel said to the women, "Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. He is not here; he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay. Then go quickly and tell his disciples: 'He has risen from the dead and is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see him.' Now I have told you." 

So the women hurried away from the tomb, afraid yet filled with joy, and ran to tell his disciples. 

Suddenly Jesus met them. "Greetings," he said. They came to him, clasped his feet and worshiped him. Then Jesus said to them, "Do not be afraid. Go and tell my brothers to go to Galilee; there they will see me."

These are several images that Mom came across when trying to find a picture for this entry.

Celebrate Easter for He is Risen!

Then, your mother came across this image below and literally gasped! Her angel sign ... :D:D:D These He is Risen images are all on the same page on the internet.

Oh my ...




He is risen ... 4:44

What an awesome message for Mom first thing in the morning ... :D 

******************************************

It's 3:10 pm at the moment ...


Mom has to tell You this ...




This morning, after posting this entry, she had left the house to go to Grandma's place at the next block. A man and his two children happened to take the same lift. After the initial morning greetings, the man asked, 

"Are You going to church?"

Your mother was quite stunned. 


Originally, we were supposed to attend Easter Mass today, but after last night's Easter Vigil's which lasted almost 4 hours, we thought maybe we could uh, skip today's Mass. 


In the car on the way home after the mass last night, Justine had in fact commented, "Hey, I thought we're gonna go for all the 4 masses ... Thursday - Sunday." Well, this morning, we got up, and we were uhhh ... kinda not going.





Guiltily, Mom answered the man, "Y- Yes, we're going for the 11 am one..."




Your mother felt so very guilty then. She found herself sending a text to Dad, "v go for the 11:30 am mass. a man in the lift just asked me, r u going to church? dat's my sign la. have to go..." 




Dad replied, okay.

That must have been You, huh ... Such a coinciDANS that that man had to take the same lift as her and ask her about church. When was the last time anyone asked her about going to church?



That was You alright ...

Go for Easter Mass, Mommm ... :D

So we did. We're so very glad we did. We have You to thank for. So thank you, Son for the lil prompting. We would not have gone had that man not made your mother feel bad and totally guilty.




After mass that ended 2 hours later, we were in the car. Barely a minute passed when the song FIREWORK came on the radio. :D A smile appeared on your mother's face. You must have seen that. Her eyes shot at the dashboard. It was 12:59.

Do You ever feel like a plastic bag ...

No, not today ... today she doesn't feel like a plastic bag. 


It's Easter! Har - loooo ... He is risen and alive today! 

Nobody should feel like a plastic bag today ... no, not today.




Definitely not today.

If you only knew what the future holds

After a hurricane comes a rainbow ..

Call 151 : Major Fireworks

Your mother had perpetual grin on her face.




We stopped by a nearby Indian restaurant just further up the road, for some lunch. About an hour later, we were back in the car. Justine was driving, when a few moments later, a one line-preview of FIREWORK came on the radio again and filled the car.






Oh my ... 




The time was 1:49 pm.

Totally felt your presence, Daniel ... :D


At that moment, Mom somehow recalled Father rightly ending his homily message today with this power-line, 


"The resurrection is our destiny."

The resurrection is surely our destiny ...


We are thinking about You, Daniel, safe with JESUS CHRIST, as we celebrate Easter today. <3

Hello Son,                                                  (continue from Call 197) (Thursday, April 21)

4. Post Office

Just as we were about to reach Taman Desa, Mom reminded Dad to swing over to the Post Office. 


She suddenly remembered she had to collect a registered letter for Justine. Your sister had received a note from the Post Office notifying her of a registered letter she had to collect. We received that card-note last Friday.




At the Post Office ... 


Mom went to collect the registered letter. 


Back in the car, Dad tore open the envelope.

We stared at the contents.




OMG ... You wouldn't believe this. 



There was a letter from ann - ness, informing the recipient your sister to report for compulsory ann - ness training in May.






OMG ...




In a panic, your mother was totally not cool, she must confess, she was all high-pitched when she reacted, 


"So how? What to do? Omg! How now? How???"




Dad said, "Yesterday's exemption letter override this one."



The official letter Justine received yesterday was dated April 20, whilst this uh, invitation was dated April 7.




Oh thank God.




A few minutes later, full realization of the circumstance sank in. That card-note came on Friday, 6 days ago. Yet, for some reason, Mom did not go to the Post Office to collect the registered letter until today - Thursday. 



Your 21st.




Almost a week later. That itself is somewhat strange. Normally, when we receive a card from the PO, we would collect the registered letter or parcel whatever, on the same day, or at the very latest, the next day. In this present scenario, your mother has actually forgotten about it, and has allowed 6 days to pass before suddenly remembering about it.






It is strange that the exemption letter received yesterday signed by Mr Daniel was dated April 20, and received on the same day (yesterday). You must have whispered to the postman to deliver that letter on an urgent basis, huh. 





That was definitely You. :D



Your doing. You made sure that we received the exemption letter first. You can't deny it Son, that letter has your name on it. You definitely had something to do with that. :D

See Call 196 : Two Songs

Thank You Son ... for always watching out for your family. How lucky are we to have an angel watch over us so very closely. :D

5. I Believe 

Dad dropped Mom off at the condo and rushed off for an appointment. Mom was left alone to bask in her OMG - overwhelming happiness. You must have seen your mother radiating streaks of happiness and delight. :D


Dad called later in the evening after his appointment. He was on his way to pick Justine up from college. 


Dad said, "Can You hear the song?" There was a song that was on the radio in the car at that moment. Mom strained to hear. She could only hear faint, muffled sounds.




"What song is that?"





Dad was like, "I Believe ... His first video ..." 


This song has not been playing on the radio for a long time, Dad said, and it had to come on today, on your 21st, when Dad was alone in the car. 


Dad was zapped alright. :D

 i BELiEVE

 Daniel's first video created by Aunty Carol on his 60th day in Heaven.

6. Ring Ring

Justine's friends came to pick her up later that evening for mass in HRC. Dad and Mom were gonna attend the mass in SFX at 8 pm. Dad said we should leave the house at 7 pm to accommodate after-office traffic.


You know what ...


By 6:45 pm, Mom was hurrying Dad to get ready. Dad was at the computer at the time. For some reason, she found herself hurrying, so much so that she told Dad, she would go down to the basement to get the car, and pick him up at the lobby, so as not to waste time.




Soon, we were on our way to church.


At Jalan Gasing, where we were supposed to make a U-turn to get to church, Mom couldn't believe her ears when she heard a brief one-line preview of this ABBA song that came on.


Ring ring, why don't you give me a call ...

Mom pointed to the time : 6:57 pm.

OMG, there it is ... that firework - ZAP! You must have seen the happy grin on our faces, Son. That one super-awesome one line ... and at her angel time too.

Traffic was quite slow, so even though we were near the church, we heard the whole song before getting out of the car.


Ohhh, ring ring, why don't You give me a call ...

See Call 44 : Ring Ring

7. In Church

Church was packed like a can of sardines. Dad and Mom were inside. Aunty C arrived later with a friend, and were sitting outside. 




Just before Mass started, your aunty sent a text to Mom, 


"Father passed us n said ... come late la ... no more place to sit ..."




Chuckle. 


Mom replied back, "That wuz Dans la :D ..."


Remind Mom to tell Aunty C what happened to her (Mom) on Palm Sunday last week. Yes, last Sunday, Dad and Mom were attending mass. Justine was at camp then. The priest had sprinkled holy water on the congregation as he walked down the aisle. 


You know how we always like to get some drops of holy water when the priest does that?


Well, she didn't get any this time. Not one drop. Not one tiny faint drop. Mom couldn't help but think to herself,  


should - have - sat - there ... 


there being a spot that was sure to get at least a few drops of holy water on you. We were standing with our palms and singing the entrance hymn, when suddenly your mother jumped.

Literally.




Dad turned to look. A slash (?) of water had come into contact with the back of her shoulder. What the ... Mom looked down on the floor. There were like 20 tiny drops of water around her feet (just to show You how much a "slash" is). Oh my g... 


Did Father just aim the sprinkler at your mother? She wasn't aware that Father, who had walked down the aisle, was coming back up her row from the back...


Moments later, the priest walked past her, leaned over and said, 


"Sorry about that..."



OMG ...




Only You could have known that your mother was grumbling in her heart about not getting the holy water. You must have whispered to Father to make sure Mom gets some of the sprinkle. Oh my, more than a thousand people that day in church, and Father spoke to Mom.




Just like today ... the church was mackerel-packed with people, and Father spoke to Aunty Carol. 




That was You, Daniel Phua ... 


Nobody, nobody but chiu.


See Call 109 : Nobody Nobody

Zzzzzaaaa -- pppp!!! 

Making contact, we're sure of it! 




After Mass, Mom excitedly told Aunty C about her inciDAN on Palm Sunday, and your Aunty C said, 


"Ya, that could only be Dans ..." :D




Two inciDANS ... They always come in twos ... You notice?

We left the church after 11 pm. In the car, Mom turned on the radio, and heard the first immediate word from the DJ:





Green Day ...  bla bla bla ... 21 Guns ...




Zzzzzaaaa -- pppp !!!!






The time on the dashboard was 11:08 pm.

See Call 88 : 21 Guns

Om my ... How amazing it was for us to hear 21 Guns ... The timing once again was ... OMG - perfect on the dot. We felt your presence throughout the day today, Son. How incredible! :D

21 Guns on your 21st. 

After 21 Guns, came a dinosaur song : ABBA's Fernando ... Yeah okay, You may shut your ears ...

We were approaching Taman Desa, when the next song came ...

When the music filled the car, Mom was stunned to silence.

OMG, not possible ... Are You kidding her ???

Zzzzzaaaa -- pppp !!!!

OMG ...

Titanic ...

My Heart Will Go On ...

OMG ...

Mom's eyes shot to the dashboard. The time was 11:17 pm.

Last night, Mom had uploaded a video of her singing TiTANiC on a karaoke-date with her friends. Oh my ... what are the chances? Besides, all her decoding today had resulted in her angel number.  

Number 4.

Who is Number Four?

Hearing the song on the radio, on the way home, was like receiving a response from You ...

I got the song, Maa ...

At the condo, we remained in the car until the song ended before Mom got out and Dad went to park at the basement. 

Honestly Daniel ...

That moment was priceless ... absolutely priceless. There are just no words for it. What a perfect ending to your 21st today.

Thank You, Son, for all the ZAPs today ... 


We're thinking and missing You on your 15th month with Jesus and Mary ...
