It's Saturday today.
Yayyy.
We had a really hectic week this week, including a really awesome birthday party celebration in school yesterday. The theme for the party was Fairy Tale Characters, so You can imagine how colourful the school was yesterday.
There were wings ...
There were crowns and tiaras ...
There were Cinderella gowns and pretty fairy frocks of all types ...
And swords ... and wizards ...
and the lot ...
Mom was thinking of downloading those photos today and do up the school blog ... but You know what?
She is smiling as she's writing about this inciDAN.
This morning, Mom sent the maid to school, as usual, for her weekly cleaning on Saturdays.
You would have seen your mother eagerly turning on the radio, hoping for an immediate electrifying morning zap.
A song was on.
No such zap.
She changed the station.
A weird song was on.
The next song was weirder.
Humph. Not a single zap message, she'd thought.
Where are You, Son?
We reached school. The maid got out of the car.
Mom then drove back.
As she drove into Taman Desa, for some reason, she took a different turning.
Today, she went straight ahead instead of taking a left turn at the traffic lights (near the hospital). She'd go to the shops to get some breakfast, she'd thought.
Mom hardly ever takes this way, as You know. Normally, she would turn left the traffic lights ... yes, even when she wants to go to the shops, she would take this way.
Anyway, as she was approaching the shops, she had a change of mind, and decided to go home instead.
Soon, she was passing the Taman Desa school.
A song had come one ...
At the intro music, Mom had gasped ... quite happily.
Her spirits immediately lifted.
Zap Zap Zap ...
Omg ...
Ring Ring ...
How a song can have such an impact on her, she will never be able to explain. It's all in God's Big Master Plan.
So meant to be.
Her destiny, You could say.
Pause ...
You're shaking your head here, aren't You?
Yeah, been watching too much of MERLIN.
I was sitting by the phone
I was waiting all alone
Baby, by myself, I sit and wait and wonder about You
It's a dark and dreary night
Seems like nothing's going right
Won't you tell me honey, how can I go on here without you?
Yes, I'm down and feeling blue
Yes, I'm down and feeling blue
And I don't know what to do, oh-oh

Ring, ring, why don't you give me a call?
Ring, ring, the happiest sound of them all
Ring, ring, I stare at the phone on the wall
And I sit all alone impatiently
Won't you please understand the need in me
So, ring, ring, why don't you give me a call?
So, ring, ring, why don't you give me a call?
Mom laughed out loud.
Omg ...
Daniel Daniel ...
The school has got to wait. Mom's going straight home to give You a call. :D She mentally sent her telephatic sms across the universe and up to heaven.
She slowed down before stopping at the red lights (near the mosque).
Ring Ring was still on.
Mom was singing along with a happy heart.
As she was looking straight ahead of her, she suddenly caught sight of a plane flying across the sky, before her eyes.
Gasp ...
Omg ...
Zap Zap Zap ...
Mom's did not leave the plane until it disappeared into some clouds.
On Thursday, your 21st, Mom had sent an sms to your aunties with a short note :
"Today is Dans' 38th month ..." before she added the icon of an aeroplane.
Oh gosh ...
The Ring Ring was on ... the airplane was in the sky ...
Mom just had to smile.
Her two signs.
You know Mom always needs two signs from You, don't You?
Thank You, Son ... here are two DANIEL music videos back to You from Mom.
Daniel is travelling tonight on a plane ...

must be the clouds in my eyes ...
Elton John's version brought tears to your mother's eyes. When was the last time she cried over a song? it has been awhile ... today, she let the tears go free ...
Lord, I miss Daniel ...
Oh, I miss him so much ... <3
