Hello Son,
It's 5.43 am in the morning.
Saturday today.
Mom just have to find some time to drop you a note.
After yesterday's ZAP at the mall.
So yesterday, after school, Dad and Mom went to the mall.
Dylan and Ryan were with us.
As we were walking towards the center court,
we passed a side store. Mom had turned her head back
to see what the store was selling, as it looked like a new
store to her.
Dylan said, "Can I have some candy floss?"
We were still walking on.
Mom replied, "No Dylan, we are going for lunch now."
Besides, candy floss is too sweet for you, Mom thought
to herself.
We went to NANDOS for lunch.

After lunch, which took quite a while,
because Ryan was keeping his food in the mouth.
Mom was determined to feed him at least 3 pieces
of chicken tenders. He had also ordered corn, but
couldn't eat it, because of the black pepper that was
sprinkled over the kernels.
Oh well.
Why would anyone add black pepper on to children's
food?
Well, at last we were done.
Dad said, "Let's go home."
Mom was surprised, "Shouldn't we walk around first?"
Umm, for our 10,000 steps a day.
So we walked around.
From one end of the mall to the other.
It wasn't long before we happened to see a boy
in front of a candy floss stand.
There was a sign that read:
FREE Candy Floss
A promotion at Maurice Lacroix.

FREE???
Candy floss???
ZAP ZAP ZAP!!!
Mom said, "Dylan, didn't you ask for candy floss just now?"
Dylan smiled broadly, "Yeah ..."
Mom smiled to herself, "All you, Son. Your free treat."
Chuckle.
It's weird that we could have walked to that spot.
The mall is so big.
We were just walking randomly.
You must have somehow whispered to Dad.
Dad was leading us to -- the walk to -- nowhere.
Hahaha.
And suddenly, there it was.
FREE Candy Floss.
That was just awesome.
After that, we somehow walked over to the connecting
mall, Gardens, and found ourselves at the children's
department. There was a small LEGO play area.
Dylan and Ryan ran to the table and started to play.
Dad found a seat nearby and sat down.
Mom walked around a bit.
It was about 20 walking steps or so when Mom suddenly
noticed this :
How many times has your mother walked
into this department and never noticed that?
OMG.
HELLO SON.
You're surely with us.
As always.
Quickly, Mom went to get Dad.
"Son says hello," Mom said with a big smile,
as your mother pointed out the ZAP word.
Dad smiled.
"I really have to write to him later," Mom said.
So much to tell. Will write about the Merdeka Day
drama at home in a bit. That was surreal. You were
with us every step of the way.
Thank you, Daniel. For watching over us, and for
always making your presence felt.
Always.
Always.
Always.
xoxo
Mom
