Friday, February 22
This morning, Mom drove out of the condo to school.
She thought of the vehicle yesterday ...
DAN 8511
How precious that moment was.
(Call 448 : 37th Month)
She slowed down before the red lights, about the same spot she saw the DAN car yesterday ... and saw in front of her this time, the number plate:
2883
Decode : 21
You must have seen the smile that spread across her face.
Mom snapped a photo. The car was stationary, she had plenty of time to swipe, then find and finally click on the camera icon. :D

This morning, as usual, she would drop Maid R in school, and then proceed to pick up some children to school.
So anyway, as she was driving towards school, Mom heard faint music in the car.
It wasn't from the radio -- the radio had a different song.
A second song had come on.
It was one of the MAMMA MIA / ABBA songs ... She'd straightened up and smiled, thinking it was the song that goes :
"I believe in angels ..."
and that, it was a nice morning zap from heaven ... but soon realized that it wasn't that song ... she couldn't help but immediately feel her spirits dropping ... yeah, just a little.
It was instead the ring tone of Grandma's cellphone -- THANK YOU FOR THE MUSIC.
I believe in angels ... is from that song ... that song ... oh, that song ... You know that song ... what is it again???
She had frowned, trying to remember the title ....
Ah, but of course ... I HAVE A DREAM.
Once again the ring tone came on ...
So I say thank you for the music, the songs I'm singing ...
The sound was clearly coming from the far end of the passenger seat beside her. As she was driving, she was not able to retrieve the phone. It must be Grandma, calling a few times, to check where she had left her handphone. Grandma was with Mom last night, when we went to pick up Justine from school.
So anyway, yeah ... THANK YOU FOR THE MUSIC (ring tone) came on several times in the car.
Mom had no choice but to let it ring.
She was driving okay ... she wasn't about to do any stunts ...
So she must say, she heard the ring tone :
So I say thank you for the music, the songs I'm singing ...
possibly about 10 times.
Aiyoh, this Amah ...
Anyway, when she finally reached school, she was able to call Grandma's house to inform that Grandma's cell was with Mom in the car. So that was that.
Mom thought nothing more about this ring tone inciDAN ... and was busy busy busy as the bee, the whole day in school ... until it was time to fetch the children home.
The kids were in the car, there was a lot of noise, the cartoon disc was playing ...
The usual was happening ...
As Mom drove out from the school area, she suddenly remembered she forgot to ask Teacher E to get lunch packs for the teachers. We were supposed to have lunch together later ... in school.
So, Mom dialled Teacher E's cell number ... and was greeted by an automated reply that happened to be a song from FUN :
Tonight, we are young ...
Mom listened till the line / song came to an end.
She called again ... and once again the FUN song greeted her.
She listened patiently, remembering with a smile that she had uploaded this song on to your Facebook some time ago. There was just something -- heartwarming -- about that line :
I'll carry you home tonight ...
The connection came to an end.
She was driving ... mind You. Carefully, she called the school number, and spoke to Teacher E to give her instructions. Chucking away her cell after that, Mom concentrated on the road. There was one more kid left to be sent home.
Boy, You wouldn't believe what happened next ...
A song had come on the radio. Mom was not aware at first, but she she suddenly found herself sitting up right ... and pricking her ears ...
Omg ...
This is the song, isn't it???
I have a dream, a song to sing ...
That one that goes : I believe in angels ...
Omg ...
Who would know that that song was in her mind this morning?
Who?
Seriously, who???
Nobody, nobody but You, Daniel Phua ...
ZAP ZAP ZAP ...
Do You see the familiar pattern?
Get the attention first (FUN song) and then ZAP!
I believe in angels ...
Yes, she does ...
That part is easy ...
She has no choice anyway ... she has to believe ... otherwise, things would not make sense ...
The zap yesterday ... the facial appointment ... Angel ... See the link? What are the chances? *
(11:10 pm : Fall For You just came on the telly at this point * ...
Decode : 21 ...
You're with Mom, she knows, Son ... she's so not on her own, pretending her son's beside her ...)
Pause ...
You know, it is slowly dawning on Mom now, the ring tone this morning ... so many times she had to hear it this morning ... there was a reason ... and mind You, there were two ring tone inciDANS today ...
Two, c'mon on ...
Surely there was a message for Mom to take notice of ...
Thank you for the music, the songs I'm singing ...
To be perfectly honest, this is not one of Mom's favourite songs.
No.
She had always thought the song -- boring. Grandma had chosen this song once for concert purposes at one time, and Mom had groaned and said everyone will fall asleep. Now ... now, she's beginning to see it in a different light. Angel-assisted light.
After all, it cannot be denied that, ever since You left us, it has been songs songs songs that has kept your mother going. Think about it. Is that not true? Is it not through songs that she feels your presence, gains her strength, and gets your uncanny zap messages?
Yes, yes ... all of the above.
The timing is always angel perfect.
It's amazing, Son ...
Keep the zaps coming ...
And yes, thank you for the music, the songs I'm singing ...
