Call 244 : ROCKET ZAP

Hello Son,

Tuesday, June 28

Plenty to tell You about Tuesday ...

Sleep will just have to wait ...

Too many entries are owing already ...

They are piling sky high ...

Must make this call tonight ... :D

Ring Ring ...

This Tuesday morning, Justine was driving with Mom beside her as usual, on the way to college. Mom was thinking about the ZAPs that happened the day before (Monday) that she wanted to tell You on Monday night but didn't manage to.

1. On Monday ...

Dad and Mom went to Pusat Bandar Damansara to go to a particular shop to get some books that Justine wanted. It was past 5 pm.

Dad had entered the basement parking, and drove ...

down

down

down

until he finally found a free parking spot. >.<

He reversed into the bay.

As he did so, right in front of our eyes, we saw our angel number looking back at us. :D

Call 43 : Angel Sign

We were definitely watching us huh ... :D

We went to the shop to get the books. After buying the books, we walked straight back to the car. Dad turned on the engine. The song that immediately came on was BACK TO DECEMBER (Taylor Swift). :D

The time was 5:33 pm on Justine's station 95.3.

Yes, Son ... Mom's getting to it. You're reminding her of that entry, aren't You? Still owing ... Your mother goes back to December all the time, Son ... <3

Call 241 : Walk Alone

After the song, Shontelle's IMPOSSIBLE came on. Half way through the song, Mom found herself reaching over to change the station to 105.7.

Yo must have whispered to Mom to do that and good thing she did too ... because 21 GUNS came on right after the immediate song that was playing when she switched the station. The time was 5:47 pm.

21 GUNS ...

How not to think about You, Son ... Your sister sang 21 GUNS for You on your 16th month. :D

Two songs on the way home.

Back to December and 21 Guns.

Both songs reminded us instantly of YOU YOU YOU. :D

That was Monday ...

(OMG ... Justine is singing 21 Guns right at this moment in the shower. Dad is sitting right beside Mom. Mom's pointing the line she just wrote 5 lines above : "Your sister sang 21 Guns for You on your 16th month" to Dad as we are listening to Justine singing at the same time ... WOW !!!)

ZAP ZAP ZAP !!!

2. Back to Tuesday morning ...

Justine was driving on the way to college with Mom beside her. We were on the highway when suddenly the lyrics :

Do you ever feel --- like a plastic bag ...

came on the radio. Mom gave a lil yelp before pointing her finger at the time excitedly.

Call 151 : Major Fireworks

OMG ...

It was 7:42 am on 95.8.

Decode : 4 (742) and 4 (958)

Oh Wow ... Double Angel Sign ...

That felt like You reading her mind and responding to her. You know Mom's thinking about the 2 songs the day before huh. You're zapping her with FIREWORK (KATY PERRY).

If you only knew what the future holds ...

After a hurricane, comes a rainbow ...

When Mom heard the rainbow part, she couldn't help but allow a smile to escape from her and watched it travel through the interspace between earth and somewhere over the rainbow, to reach God's Home. And why? Because on Saturday 25th, her son had sent her a double rainbow. :D Yayyy !!!

The SON was shining brightly in front of us that day, as we drove along the highway. Mom pointed to Justine and said,

"Your brother is sending You his rays of love ..." <3

Call 243 : Birthday Rainbow

3. ROCKET

Mom reached home. She had prepared a draft newsletter for school for July the night before. She printed it and passed it to Grandma. Then, Dad and Mom left the condo to run some errands.

Shortly after, Grandma sent her a text at 9:23 am that read,

"Can you change the font of Tadika Lagenda, they are too sharp and pointed ..."

Mom was not at home then, and it was quite inconvenient for her to ask Dad to turn around to go back home, just to change the font.

So, she sent Grandma a cheeky reply, referring to the new school:

"Welcome to the new modern font. It's pointed like a rocket to help you shoot straight up to d stars ..."

Sent at 9:31 am ...

Decode : (13)

Ooohhh ... Did Mom just sent this sms to her angel number?

Yes, she did. She was about to get a reply. OMG ...

Dad and Mom walked into a cafe to have a cuppa tea.

We gave our orders.

While waiting, an old lady selling the Opposition's Newspapers approached our table. Dad bought a copy. Mom watched the old lady giving Dad a second newspaper (Selangor Times) and said that that one was ...

"free."

Pause ...

W-what?

Free?

Mom's ears had pricked up.

Instinctively, Mom glanced at the paper on the table as Dad was reading the headlines ... and ... gasped!

Oh ---- My ---- Gosh ...

OMG OMG OMG ...

Her eyes shot to the time.

It was 10:26 am.

Decode : (18) 144

She grabbed her handphone and as quickly as she could, scrolled to Grandma's text message. Thrusting her cell into Dad's face, she blurted out, very kan cheong-ly,

"Read this. Read this quick ..."

Dad read the sms ...

... then looked up at Mom with a blank expression. Mom grabbed the cell from him impatiently. This time, she scrolled to her SENT box and to the rocket text message that she sent to Grandma.

Where is it ... Where is it ... Where is it ... ???

Ahh!!!

"Read this one - Quick ..." she said excitedly.

OMG ...

The ROCKET ...

How amazing ...

You get her attention with the FREE word and then You zap with the ROCKET. :D OMG, what are the chances?

The ROCKET???

Oh Wow ...

That was an awesome ZAP and a CONNECTION ...

Call 234 : Paper Message

Mom said to Dad, "Look at the rocket sign ... It looks a bit like my sharp pointed font ..."

4. Orange & Green

About an hour later, we went to the Viva center.

There on display, Mom saw two bears, orange and green ... which instantly reminded her of the Orange & Green event we had many years ago. You went in green and Justine in orange.

How not to think about You, Son ???

You're just about everywhere ... :D

Orange & Green Zap ...

5. Two Four Four

We picked up Justine at about 12:45 pm.

Your sister took over the wheel and Dad went to sit at the back.

Justine said she wanted to go to our favourite Pan Mee Cafe at Kuchai Entrepreneur's. Dad said okay.

Mom said, "It's lunch hour ... will be packed la."

Justine said, "We have Daniel on our side ..." :D

Awwwwwww ...

How wonderful to hear that ...

Anyway ...

On the way there, look what was in front of us ??? :D

A few minutes later, Mom spotted the FREE word ... :D

There was traffic on the road, so all vehicles were moving rather slowly, as a result of which, this orange van appeared to be driving in front of us for quite a while.

Justine was like, "Hey, orange van ..."

Mom was like,

"OMG, look at the two four four,

two four four,

two four four,

two four four ..."

as her eyes scrolled down the van.

24 is your birth-date and 4, her angel sign ...

It's so obvious who sent the orange van to us.

We were so meant to see it. All three of us.

Oh Wow ...

You're really making your presence felt, Daniel. Seeing all those special ZAP numbers in front of her, it was almost as if You were calling out to her. :D

Hi Ma, it's Me, it's Me, it's Me, it's ME ... :D

Dad said, "What van is that?"

We couldn't tell ...

It wasn't a familiar name like - KFC or McD's. :D

6. Easy Parking

We arrived at the coffee shop.

Dad spotted an empty bay from afar and asked Justine to turn into the lane. As we approached the empty spot on our LEFT,

Dad said,

"Don't take this one. This is difficult for You to go in ..."

Justine drove on saying, "Come on Dans ..."

No sooner had she uttered that line, we spotted a nice empty bay on our immediate RIGHT. Justine gave a loud WHOO-HOO!!! and happily drove straight in.

As she did so, she exclaimed,

"Hey, orange car ... and the number is double 8."

That's so like - 4444 - when decoded.

Woah, what emphasis ...

Mom hears You loud and clear ...

Truly, everywhere we are, there you'll be ... <3

You really are watching over your sister, aren't You ? :D

Getting her this easy parking spot ...

See the earlier empty spot - between the two cars on the right?

That would have been quite impossible to park ...

It was lunch hour. Still, there was a table waiting for us right inside the coffee shop.

Mom was trying to take a photo of our table, which was 2 tables joined together.

Dad and Jus both asked why.

Mom said, "14."

Short pause as both Dad and Jus were mentally decoding.

"How did you get 14???"

Mom said, "One One Five is 14 what ..." :D

Chuckle ... Advance Math ... Duh brains must be ah, flex - see - bal ... :D

After lunch, we walked to a nearby DIY store. Dad pulled out this card and called out to Mom.

Dangerous ...

Your very first 3 syllable word ...

Dane - ge - rus ...

We can still hear You say that, Son ...

First ZAP in the store ...

Oh My ... Bird Cage ???

Second ZAP ...

Next, SpongeBob underwear ...

Third ZAP ...

This is only a small 2 shop lot DIY store.

Yet, there were 3 ZAPs in that brief period ???

You're always, always, always with us ... :D

We walked back to the car about 20 minutes later. Justine reached out to pulled a flyer that was clipped under the wiper and showed Mom. Boy Oh Boy ...

FREE ...

Call 210 : Free Fireflies

Dad showed Mom the parking ticket in the car.

Waktu Masuk (Time of Entry) : 16:01 (Decode : 44)

Waktu Tamat (Time Expires) : 03:44

On the way home, Justine stopped behind a vehicle at the red lights.

Mom happened to look out the window and saw her angel number : 444

That evening back home, Dad signed Mom up on a website for kindergarten materials.

There were thousands of materials on that site, but guess what?

The very first one that she clicked upon was a booklet with the above image :

4 + 4

Oh Wow ...

The whole day has been nothing but ZAPs and angel numbers. It began to dawn on your mother that perhaps, You wanted to tell her something ...

Pause for a moment ...

And You did ...

You so did ...

OMG ...

It was incredible ...

(continue later ...)

7. Son's Video

That evening, Dad and Mom left the condo to drive over to PJ to pick up our photostating materials. The shop lady had said that the materials will be ready by evening time, and that the shop would close by 8 pm. It was about 7:15 pm when we left the home.

In the car, on the way to PJ, we were on the highway when the haunting intro-music of a very very very familiar song began to fill the car.

Time stood still for a brief moment ...

Hey ...

This song ...

She knows this song ...

What song is this now, Mom frowned uncertainly ...

She knows this song ...

She knows this song ...

What song is this ...

The first lyric came on ...

Lonely, the path You have chosen ...

Oh My Gosh ...

A restless road no turning back ...

Her hand flew up to cup her mouth as she let out a muffled gasp.

Mom and Dad said almost simultaneously,

"Son's video ..."

Mom's eyes shot to the dashboard.

The time showed 7:24 pm.

Mom sprang forward in her seat and pointed to the time, as she blurted out almost breathlessly,

" Look! 24 ... It's him ... OMG ...

If you decode, it's also 4 ... OMG !!!"

That moment was ZAP ZAP ZAP unbelievable ...

Totally unbelievable ...

I BELiEVE ... I BELiEVE ... I BELiEVE in YOU ... <3

It's been a while since we last heard the I BELIEVE song or seen your video. In fact, the last time your mother saw that video was on your First Year Anniversary, on January 21, 2011, when she posted the link on your Facebook.

Memories flooded in.

Blink Blink Blink ...

As IL DIVO went on, and then CELINE DION, Mom had flashes of your photos appearing one by one in her head, as she remembers them on the video. Her chest hurt.

I BELIEVE ...

"Of course, Son, I BELIEVE ... We all believe ..."

Mom had said aloud, overwhelmed by the moment. Today has been filled with ZAPs as You can see ... and at the end of the day, it would appear that all the ZAPs are linking us back to YOU. :D

Daniel's I BELIEVE IN YOU Video

8. Blog Zap

When we came home, and after Mom told Justine about the inciDAN, Mom went straight to the desk computer to make an immediate call to You ... :D

How could she not ???

Today had been just incredible ...

She checked the last entry and noted that it was Call 243.

At this point, Mom still did not get it yet ...

It wasn't until she clicked to start a NEW POST,

and typed the words ...

Call 244 ...

when fireworks started exploding in her head.

Oh My Gosh ...

You have got to be kidding ...

TWo FoUR FoUR ???

Why, that's the orange van this afternoon. 244 all over the back of the van. Repeated 4 times ... Yes, Mom counted.

OMG ...

Mom thought of the date that day on Tuesday ...

June 28 ... Oh boy ...

28 ??? Why that's 244 when decoded.

Oh My ... What are the chances ???

Mom jumped up from her seat and yelled for Dad and Justine to come over quick. You must have seen how your mother was trying to talk at one thousand word per minute. :D:D:D

9. Double Rainbow Time

It was totally incredible. It was like You were reminding Mom with the orange van in the afternoon :

Call 244, Ma ... :D

Awwwwwww ...

You know huh, that we would be on our 244 th call that Tuesday.

Super amazing ... Honestly ...

All these ZAPs still did not prepare Mom for what she was about discover a minute later ...

Are You sitting down?

Mom happened to scroll through the previous entry

Call 243 : Birthday Rainbow ...

and stopped momentarily to stare at the image of the time of the sms informing about the Double Rainbow ...

11:44 am ...

OMG ... That's 244 ...

Oh Gee Wow Son ...

She's totally speechless ...

How awesome this Two Two Four ...

Mom hears You ...

That double rainbow is from Me, Mom ...

Believe it ... :D

Oh Wow ...

It just means that you're near ... You're always near ... <3

That's a powerful ZAP and a CONNECTION today, Son... :D

Mom's still holding that moment in her heart ...

Thank You Son ... That was super amazing ... :D

Call 243 : BIRTHDAY RAINBOW

Hello Son,

Saturday, June 25

Today is your mother's birthday.

If your angel friends ask ... she doubts if they would, but just in case they do ... she is still um, 33 years old. Remember that.

Don't ask why or how come.

It's ... it's just the way things are ...

Anyway ...

Today, of all days, your mother would be attending a seminar. You would have heard about that. A full day seminar supposedly from 8 am to 4 pm, according to the letter that she had received from the authorities calling all kindergarten operators to a meeting on Saturday, June 25.

She had received that notice about a week ago, and had openly groaned her frustration. Following that note, she had tried to entice Grandma to go instead. Grandma flatly said no, remarking that Mom should make a point to go and that the meeting would be good for Mom.

How in the world could this meeting be good for her, she had thought in annoyance.

On her birthday last year, You had made your presence felt all day long. OMG, she would never forget that. How would she get her birthday zaps this year when she'd be cooped up in a lecture hall ...

... all day long?

You answered your mother by zapping her on Friday,

a day before the seminar day. :D

Call 242 : Birthday Wish

The timing, once again was impeccable. You must have known that Mom would be stuck in a seminar all day on Saturday, and so You brought forward all her birthday zaps to Friday.

Anyway, because she had received her birthday message from her Son the day before, she must say she was in a pretty good mood when Dad drove her all the way to the seminar place.

She had registered at the front desk. Her number was 105.

That's 4 ... :D

Her angel sign.

A smile appeared on your mother's face. That would be You with your morning greeting, reminding her that you're near. She collected the books that were allocated for each participant, and made her way into the lecture theater.

Everything was as normal as could be.

The lecture started.

The lecture ended.

Lunch time came.

Mom checked her handphone and found that there were a few missed calls and some text messages waiting for her. She scrolled down to read them one by one, and began replying immediately.

Then, she came to an sms from Dad.

He had apparently forwarded a text message to her.

Mom began to read it ...

"Hi Bryan,

Early this morn, while out 4 b'fast, I saw a beautiful double rainbow. (Gasp!) I then thought about what date it is today n immediately remembered Lynn's birthday! Pls send my birthday greetings 2 her! Rainbow reminds us of God's covenant. May all the covenant blessings be upon Lynn n u n fmly.

Amen. P ..."

Oh --- My --- Gosh ...

A double rainbow ???

Double ???

Like, TWO RAiNBOWS ???

OMG OMG OMG ...

ZAP ZAP ZAP !!!

That was a clear ZAP and a CONNECTION... :D

Call 234 : Paper Message

Call 174 : Rainbow SpongeBob

This is the notice that appeared in The Star Papers on your

First Year Anniversary on Friday, January 21, 2011.

Note the address : Somewhere Over The Rainbow ...

Which brings Mom to this ...

That double rainbow on Mom's birthday ...

That's from You ...

Yes, Mom knows ...

It's from YOU ... :D

It can only be from YOU ... :D

Nobody, nobody but chiu ... :D

Call 109 : Nobody Nobody

This friend who sent the Double Rainbow message to Dad ...

We met like 10 years ago. Mom has not seen him in years. Yet, when he saw the DOUBLE RAINBOW he immediately thought of her? What are the chances? You must have whispered to Uncle P. Besides, he didn't have to tell her about the rainbow. How many people do You know who sees a rainbow and starts sms-ing to their friends about it?

Her point exactly.

When she least expects it, that's when she gets the most ... :D

What an awesome birthday ZAP !!!

Thanks for that, Son ... <3

That was so incredible ...

Honestly, that text message truly made Mom's day. Everything was just so very good for the rest of the day. She could hardly pay attention, she found her thoughts fleeting from one point to another ... but did she care?

Nah ...

Not at all ...

Her Son had sent her TWO rainbows from Heaven ...

There was no way she'd be concentrating on lectures after that.

Anyway, it turned out that she could leave after lunch because the lecture from 2 pm to 4 pm was on Pendidikan Islam.

Oh boy, Mom couldn't wait to hear what Dad had to say about the Double Rainbow ... :D

Here are some photos taken in the evening at home.

Justine is posing with your BB Gun ...

She attended her Interact Function this afternoon and had a nice time meeting up with her Juniors.

Her Juniors - Your friends, actually. Yup, all your friends are in Form 5 this year, Daniel.

Justine misses You very much ...

Here's Pikachu ...

Aunty Carol with Kish ...

Dad and Grandma were like competitors in Iron Chef.

Dad cooked curry lamb and sambal petai, boiled lotus soup with ribs and made a mixed salad. Grandma, even after telling her not to do anything, went ahead and prepared Singapore Laksa ... and a big pot of green bean dessert soup. Oh, she also brought 2 mangoes. There were only 5 of us. We could have fed 50 people. :D Wish You were with us, Son ...
