CALL 778 : BLESSED 21

Hello Son, 

 

Sunday, Feb 8

 

This morning, Dad and Mom attended

the 6:30am mass.

 

Then we drove to Petaling Street

and had beef noodles and curry mee.

 

Oh my. Totally sinned against our

carnivore diet.

 

We went to the mall at mid morning.

 

Chinese New Year is just round

the corner. Mom decided to get 

a few new outfits for our up and

coming cruise.

 


 

So, Mom was at this retail outlet,

trying out a few clothes. 

Mom sent 2 photos to Dad. 

 



Dad replied : Both nice.

 

Wahh. At the time of checking

Dad's text, Mom just noticed that

her photos to Dad were sent at

12:12.

 

How perfect was that.

 

You were clearly with Mom.

 

Grin.

 


 

The day before on Saturday,

Mom tried on this red dress.

 


Dad said : Not nice.

 

Pause. 

 

Dad didn't make any attempt 

to mince his words. 

 

Your father didn't like the sleeves.

 

Oh well. 

 

Good thing Mom didn't insist on that 

puffed up sleeves. The sleeveless

dress fit better and is more her style.

 

Coming out of the fitting room,

Mom went over to queue at the 

cashier. There was quite a long 

line of customers.

 

As Mom was inching her way to 

forward, Dad sent this following

photo : 

 

Awww. Blessed 21.

 

Mom replied : I just saw a big 21 shirt too.


 




After paying for her purchases,
 
Mom brought Dad to her 21 t-shirt 
 
and asked Dad to pose.  
 
Haha. 


A big 21 at the back of Dad's tee.

 

Seeing both the 21 t-shirts today,

Mom told herself she would give 

you a call later at home.

 

ie : now.

 

She wanted to call you last week,

as you know, but all the eviDANs

(photos) that she took were no good. 

 

So, last Sunday, Feb 1st ...

 

Justine and Mom were at the 

Gardens Mall. 

We attended the 11:30 am mass 

with Dad. 

 

After mass, Dad went to do his thing, 

and your sister and mother drove 

to the mall. 

 

Justine wanted to do some work. 

 

Being a public holiday, 

there was heavy traffic.

On top of that, there was a long line 

of vehicles going into the mall parking. 

 

Your sister drove into the mall parking, 

from one level to the next, trying to 

find an empty bay.

 

There were like 100 cars on each level.

 

All the vehicles were nicely parked

and there was not a single person in sight

who were coming to get their cars.

 

We drove up to the level 2.

 

Then level 3.

 

Level 4.

 

Mom had a feeling you would 

have a bay for us at this level 4.

 

But no ...

 

Fully parked. 

 

No vacant lot. 

 

Wow. Seriously?

 

Not even level 4??? 

 

You are not having your lunch 

now, are you, Son? 

 

Justine drove up to level 5.

 

You must have seen your mother 

holding her breath she scanned the 

parking place with her eyes. 

 

Left and right.

 

Ahead and behind.

 

All bays were filled.

 

Then at level 6 ... Mom finally spotted

a family heading to their car.

 

Ahh, there.

 

Mom pointed.

 

Justine saw.

 

We waited by the side for the car 

to drive out. 

 

The car reversed out.

 

Justine drove - backside - in.

 

Just as we were in the bay, 

another car next to us, drove out.

 

What?

 

Two cars went out at the same time?

 

Side by side.

 

Both cars went out within 30 seconds 

of each other. The driver was already 

in her car when we drove into our bay. 

 

Mom said : When Daniel is near, 

he zaps us in twos.

 

All through levels 1 to 6, there was

not a single car that moved out for us,

and now, suddenly, there were 2 that 

drove out.

 

2 cars side by side. 

 

You were near.

 

We felt your presence.

 

It was a busy day, that day huh. 

 

Thanks, Son.

 


 

 

We walked into the mall.

 

The first thing that we saw was a 

huge crowd that had gathered to 

watch a lion dance performance. 

 

Suddenly Mom saw.

 

An orange t-shirt with the number 4.

 

Mom pointed it out excitedly to Justine.

 

Justine smiled and nodded her head.

 

Yes, Mom knows.

 

You wanted us to know that 

you were clearly with us just now, 

looking for an empty bay. 

 

Mom was so busy explaining to your sister,

she forgot to take a photo.

 

She should have.

 

Darn.

 

The orange tee just stood out ...

 

with the number 4, of all numbers.

 

We walked over to DOME. 

 

Your sister took a table. 

 

Mom told Justine : 

"Order a cappuccino for me. 

I'm going to the washroom."

 

You would have seen your mother 

hurrying back to the crowd 

watching the lion dance. 

 

Mom took out her handphone.

 

All ready to take a shot.

 

Now where is that orange number 4???

 

Mom searched every inch of that area.

 

The crowd had dispersed a bit.

 

The orange number 4 tee was nowhere to be found.

 

Dejected, Mom walked back to the coffee house.

 

 


 

Never mind ...

 

You know ...

 

Your sister knows ...

 

Mom knows ...

 

Good enough.

 

About 5 hours later ...

 

We were ready to go home. 

 

Dad texted that dinner was ready.

 

Justine packed up, and we walked to 

the car. 

 

At the car, Mom got in.

 

Justine slid in.

 

Mom was not expecting anything.

 

Suddenly, we noticed the car right 

next to us, on our right, started 

its engine, and drove out of its bay. 

 

We followed suit.

 

Oh wow! 

 

Would you look at that???

 

What are the chances???

 

Your sister was surprised too.

 

When we came in, there were 2 cars 

going out.

 

Now, we are going home, 2 cars also 

going out at the same time. 

 

A smile appeared on your mother's face.

 

You are making your presence felt, 

Mom knows. You were clearly with us, 

we know that, Son.

 


 

Monday (2nd) was a replacement

public holiday.

 

Federal Territory and Thaipusam.

 

Dad and Mom went to IKEA.

 

After our brunch at IKEA

cafeteria, we were walking around

at the mall attached to IKEA.

 

Mom spotted a HUGE number  

94 staring at her in her face. 

 

Quickly, she tried to take her 

handphone to snap a photo. 

 

 

 

Darn!

 

The guy turned.

 

The 94 was in front of his t-shirt.

 

Your birthday year.

 

ZAP ZAP ZAP !!!

 

Mom was kinda in hiding behind 

a pillar, waiting for him to turn

around.

 

He did not.

 

He walked straight toward this 

glass door exit. 

 

Ahh.

 

Your mother tried to take a photo 

of the reflection. 

 

21:09


It did not work.


Sigh.

 

Mom had to go.

 

Dad was waiting at a distance.

 

She was behaving in a very 

suspicious manner.

 

The CCTV might pick up on her.

 

Mom lamented to Dad, all

the way to the car park.

 


We got our car.

 

Dad drove out of the mall.

 

A few minutes later, 

there was a massive, humongous 

signboard in front of us that flashed 

this (see the white board):

 

21:18

21:18


Wahhh!

 

Mom said, "Son must be saying,

is this BIG enough, Ma?"

 

Hahaha.

So that was last Monday : IKEA.

 

The following day, Tuesday (3rd),

was also a holiday.

 

Dad and Mom brought Grandma 

to the Gardens Mall.

 

Grandma wen to look at some CNY 

goodies.

 

Mom went to a skin care outlet.

 

She wanted to get a cleanser.

 

As your mother was walking along the aisle,

a big number 21 was staring back at her.

 

Mom grabbed her handphone.

 

Oh dear.

 


Mom was too near the girl.

 

Mom walked past her.

 

It was too difficult to snap a 

photo of the back of the tee-shirt 

without arousing suspicion. 

 

That was a big number 21.

 

Smile.

 

Thursday (5th) came ....

We were on the road, when Mom noticed

this car.

She was reminded of her Call 777 : Jan 21st.

We spent a few hours at the mall, 

before we left.

 

As we were on the way home,

Mom saw this car in front of us.

 

21 


Nice.


1842


Back at home, Mom turned on the TV.

 

Anthony Chaffee was being interviewed 

by these 2 guys.

 

Your mother was not really following.

 

The TV was just on.

 

She only sat right up when this part came.

 

The number 21.

 

And the number 7 ...

 

as in triple 7???

 

777???

 

Woah ...

Friday (6th) ...

 

After school on Friday, 

Dad picked Mom up.

 

We were driving to the mall,

when this 7777 caught Mom's eyes. 

 

Oh wow, Mom breathed to herself,

saying out loud, "There's just one too 

many 777 the past few days ..." 

 

Smile.

 

All you. 

 

1243


Saturday (7th) ...

Dad, Mom and Uncle KK went 

to the Pavilion Mall.


We spent the whole day there.

 

In the evening, back at home,

this hallmark movie was playing.

 

Before long, this scene came.

 

1221

 

That's a 2121 for Mom

all the way from Heaven. 


2049 (decode : 15  =  4)


All You.

 

Thanks Son, for making your presence felt

and letting us know that you are always near.

 

Today (Sunday 8th) ...

We drove into the mall and this car

happened to be in front of us.

 

1294 

 

Mom had to smile.

 

That's why she had to make it a 

point to give you a call today.

CALL 777 : JANUARY 21ST

Hello Son, 

 

It's Wednesday.

 

January 21, 2026.

 

6:58 pm.

 

Mom is aware it's the 21st today.

 

It wasn't until your mother's cousin, 

who sent her a text at 17:56 to say, 

 

"don't know why but felt to let you 

know that I remember today is 

the anniversary of Daniel's home call ...  

he remains in my memory ..." 

 

and Dad after Mom read the text 

out aloud, said, 

"It's son's January 21st ..."

 

did Mom suddenly 

 

sat 

 

up 

 

right.

 

OMG.

 

January 21st

 

It's not just a 21st of a month.

 

It's JANUARY 21st.

 

Your 16th anniversary today.

 

16 years!

 

Mom almost forgot ... despite

the gentle reminders she received

from you the past few days.

 

 


On Saturday, dad and mom

attended sunset mass. We were

there at 5 pm for rosary.

 

5:30 pm would be novena.

 

6:30 pm, the evening mass.

 

Your sister Justine, would be meeting

us for mass, after work.

 

So, after novena ended about 6 pm,

there was a half hour break before

sunset mass.

 

Dad and Mom were just sitting at 

our pew ... when suddenly, this guy

walked into the pew before us and 

sat in front of your mother's face. 

 

 


 

The blue on the bottom left

is your mother's jeans.

 

Mom nudged Dad, and your parents

both smiled with amusement.

 

Mom studied the t-shirt before her.

 

She found herself just staring at 

the words and numbers in front of her eyes

that meant ZAP ZAP to her.

 

Ahhh.

 

There's 35.

 

That's 8.

 

Decode : 44.

 

Mom pointed to Dad and whispered, 

 

"44."

 

 Her angel number.

 

 Smile. 

 


Mass started.

 

Before long, the congregation 

stood up.

 

So did the guy in front her.

 

Immediately, Mom saw 2013.

 

 


2013

 

24

 

42 

 

Decode : 21

 

(24 is also your birth date. 

No matter how you look at it, 

there's DANIEL written all over.) 

 

 


 

That Sunday evening, Dad was

putting all your sister's medical

books on carousel to sell.

 

Justine's books have been piling up in 

a corner of the guest room for about 

2 years now ... and for some reason,

Mom went to the room that Sunday 

evening, and started to take out

the books, one by one. 

From thick to thicker books,

new and not so new ... 

big and not so big ...

Dad put them all on sale.

 

Online.

 

Possibly around 50 books altogether. 


 

Your father sent the above link

to Justine with the message : 

"Selling your med books ..." 


The next day, on Monday,

your father announced loudly

at one point, in the living room,

"Wahh, the first person to buy 

Justine's book is a guy by the name

of DANIEL ..."

 

Pause.

 

What???

 

What are the chances???

 

Mom sent an immediate text 

to your sister :

"Oh boy. Breaking news! 

The first purchaser  of your

medical books on carousel is a 

guy by the name of DR DANIEL."

 

Yes. 

 

A doctor. 

 

Not surprising.

 

He did buy a medical book. 

 

A billion names that could 

have been.

 

It had to be a DANIEL to be 

the first one to buy Justine's book. 

 


The buyer.

The book.

 

 

Today, January 21st ...

 

Dad and Mom went to the mall

for lunch.

 

After lunch, we were strolling around,

when Mom stopped to look at this

HORSE watch displayed at SWATCH. 

 

Mom snapped a photo to sent to Aunty D.

 

Both Aunt D and Mom are horses.

 

Neighhhhhh.

 

We think that's like the best animal

zodiac sign to be born under.

 

LOL.

 


 

Mom commented to Dad, 

"So weird that they priced it

at RM440 ..."

 

It's gonna be Chinese New Year soon.

 

Normally, chinese people will choose

to have nothing to do with these 

"angel" numbers. 

 

Hmm ... 44.

 

Mom thought that was such a nice price.

 

The perfect price.

 

So anyway, during lunch earlier,

Dad pointed to Mom's umm, pimple

on her face (on the side of her mouth).

 

Darn.

 

Dad saw Mom's pimple?

 

It must be big.

 

Mom told your father she needs 

to get a pimple cream from the 

pharmacy before going back. 

 

We walked over to the pharmacy.

 

Mom spotted her pimple cream.

 

OXY.

 

Familiar name.

 

She had used this same brand 

in her teens. 

 

Your mother didn't bother to 

explore the other creams. 

She took one box and went to 

the cashier. 

 

At the cashier, the guy asked Mom,

"Are you a member?" 

 

Mom said, "No."

 

Mom has been to this pharmacy

several times before. The cashiers always

asked that question. Mom has always said 

"No."

 

Today however, this cashier guy seemed

insistent. He asked for your mother's name

and tel number and just made her a member

immediately.

 

Mom smiled and asked, "What do we get?"

 

The guy replied, "Member price."

 

Oh. 

 

He said, "Twenty-one ringgit ..."

 


 

21???

 

Ahhh.

 

Nice.

 

Thank you.

 

Mom really did not expect that.

 

It's your 21st today.

 

Somehow Daniel, 

you just know how to connect to

Mom and make your presence felt ...

 

all the time ...

 

wherever your mother is ...

 

and wherever your mother goes ... 

 

Smile.

 

 


You are just so with us all the time,

that she honestly did not remember

that TODAY ...

 

is your Farewell Anniversary ...

 

16 years ago,

 

on January 21, 2010 ... 

 

you left us to be with Jesus 

and Mama Mary. 

 

It's so unlikely for Mom to 

receive this text from her cousin

who hardly contacts Mom, to tell

Mom that it's your anniversary ...

 

and yet after reading the text, 

Mom still did not get the messsage ...

until Dad said, 

"It's Son's January 21st ..." 

 

OMG.

 

It's just that you are so beside

us every day ...

 

and we know you are with us

every single minute ...

 

there is not a moment when

we do not feel your presence ...

 

Today, Mom make this call to you, Son ...

 

Call 777.

 

Oh boy.

 

Isn't that 21????

 

Here's withing you a 

Happy and a Blessed 

16th Anniversary 

in paradise with

JESUS and MAMA MARY.

Until we are together again,

Daniel, stay close and watch over

us ... Keep the ZAPS coming.

 

Hugs and kisses

from all at home,

Mom

xoxo

CALL 776 : NEBUCHADNEZZAR

Hello Son,

 

It's 7.45 am. 

 

Tuesday morning.

 

Dad, Mom and Justine just got 

back from church.

 

We attended the 6:15 am mass 

this morning.

 

Your sister will be going outstation 

tomorrow for 2 weeks. 

 

Something awesome happened.

 

You really do know how to make

your presence felt.

 

It's a divine ZAP all the way. 

 

So, we arrived in church about 

2 minutes late.

 

We sat on the right side of the 

church this morning. 

 

Normally, we sit on the left, 

but Dad parked the car on the 

left side of the church and so 

that's how we ended up sitting 

on the left. 

 

On the last bench of the front 

row of pews. 

 

Can you picture that?

 

Everything was as normal 

as normal could be. 

 

Until the reader went up the 

altar and read the first reading. 

 

Pause.

 

As Mom heard your name loud 

and clear through the speakers

in church.

 

 

O

 

M

 

G ....

 

You don't say ...

 

 


 

 

A reading from the book of Daniel.

 

You must have seen your mother 

smile as she turned to look at Dad 

and Justine, and gave them a knowing look.

 

Seconds later, Mom heard the word

"Nebuchadnezzar."

 

OMG.

 

Seriously???

 

What are the chances???

 

Last night, Dad and Uncle KK were

watching a Nativity movie on TV.

 

Mom went to the bedroom, 

took her shower, and plonked 

herself on the bed.

 

She turned on the TV to find that 

same movie.

 

Instead, your mother came across this :

 

 


 

Ahh. 

 

Mom has turned on this movie 

some weeks back. She had watched 

about half an hour of the movie, 

and had changed the show. 

 

LOL. 

 

It's not like THE CHOSEN. 

 

Don't be offended ya.

 

It was just very -- dry.

 

It doesn't have Jonathan Roumie. 

 

 

 Who Is Jonathan Roumie? Meet The Actor Who Plays Jesus In 'The Chosen' –  Hollywood Life

 

 

So anyway, last night, for some reason,

Mom continued where she left off.

 

You must have whispered to your mother.

 

"Watch the show, Ma."

 

About 5 minutes into the movie, 

Daniel was brought in to interpret

the King's dream.

 

King Nebuchadnezzar.

Daniel interprets the King's dream.

 

A few minutes later, Dad walked 

into the room.

 

He turned to look at the TV.

 

The King was on the screen.

 

Mom said, "Nebuchadnezzar."

 

Dad raised his eyebrow and

exclaimed,

"Wah, you know Nebuchadnezzar?"

 

Mom chuckled.

 

Your mother remembers this name

from her history time in Primary school.

 

We used to pronounce it as :

Ne-bu-chard-na-za.

 

Mom had mentioned casually to Dad.

 

As casual as can be.

 

How in the world did this name

popped up again the next morning

in church???

 

OMG.

 

A billion names that could have

been uttered ... but this name??

 

Nebuchadnezzar???

 

Oh boy.

 

Interesting.

 

It turned out, the whole passage

of the reading this morning,

was about the King's dream and 

Daniel interpreting the dream

for the King.

 

Exactly what Mom saw in the movie

the night before.

 

In other words, your mother saw 

the whole passage of today's reading

in the show she saw last night.

 

Mom did not finish the show. 

 

She only saw up to the point after 

Daniel and his 2 friends were thrown 

into the furnace, and the King said 

he saw a 4th person, 

like an angel

protecting the 3 boys from the fire. 

 

During the homily, Father Alvin

mentioned your name several times.

 

Daniel.

 

Daniel.

 

Daniel.

 

Daniel.

 

Daniel.

 

More than 5 times, as Father was

explaining the reading.

 

Wow! That was such a treat for Mom,

to hear your name being repeated

a few times in church, first thing in 

the morning.  

 

Suddenly, Mom happened to 

look down. She caught sight of 

this word engraved into the 

wooden pew right before her eyes. 

 

Quickly, Mom whispered to Dad.

 

"Did you bring your phone?"

 

Your mother's handphone was 

in the car. Obviously, she wasn't 

expecting any ZAP so early 

in the morning, 

and in church during mass, 

on top of that.

 

Boy, was she taken by surprise. 

 

Dad passed Mom his phone.

 

Mass was still going on.

 

Your mother was no longer listening.

 

Mom clicked. 

 

Mom in black with a Christmas tree and a star.

Can you see the ZAP word?

Can you? Dad took this one. LOL.

Hello Son, Mom whispered in response.

 

OMGosh.

 

Seriously.

 

How did that happen? 

 

We were clearly led to sit on this pew.

 

It's unbelievable.

 

Then, came Communion time. 

 

We stood up and followed the 

communion line.

 

When your mother returned to 

the pew, Justine was sitting in 

her place, followed by Dad. 

 

So Mom was now at your 

sister's seat. 

 

Mom knelt down to say her prayers 

when she suddenly saw this 

character engraved on to the 

wooden pew.  

 

That's number 4 in mandarin.


 Chinese Number 4

 

Do you see it?

  

OMG.


Number 4??? 

 

In fact, if you look carefully,

there is another character on the

right of the number 4.

 


 Big Chinese Character (Radical 37) - Big - Sticker | TeePublic

 

The first thing that came to 

your mother's mind was the 

BIG -- 4th person, 

that appeared during the time 

Daniel and his 2 friends were 

in the furnace. 

It was a bigger silhouette 

of a being ... the angel.

 

"There were 3 thrown into the fire ...

... but now I see 4 ... and the 4th ...

the 4th looks like an angel of God."

said King Nebuchadnezzar.

 

Wow, Daniel.

 

Is Mom's interpretation correct??? 

 

Daniel ... 4th ... Angel ...

 

All good words for Mom.

 

At the time of this call, Mom's 

in-box is showing : 

 



 

1 444

 

I am Number 4.

 

The movie.

 

First 2 words in that show,

 

you will hear the calling of : 

 

Daniel, Daniel ... 

 

at the beach scene.

 

Thank you, Son, for keeping close

to your family and always making

your presence felt.

 

Message happily received.

 

Over to you, Daniel.

 

xoxo 

Mom
