Rockstar: Mum. I saw (schoolmate’s mum) today. I told her (all his grandparents) have gone home to Penang and Seremban.
Me: That’s nice, dear. What did she say?
Rockstar: She asked me “Is that in China?”
——————————————————————————
Rockstar: Never, ever land in China Mum. Because it’s dangerous.
Me: What? Why??
Rockstar: People play with real guns there.
Me: ?! Is this something you got from your clever, clever friends again?
Rockstar: <nodding emphatically> Yeah! People might shoot you when they’re playing with their real guns!
(Lots of his friends have been to various parts of China recently over the past holidays, I have no idea which genius came up with this one but I’ll bet it’s one of his guy buddies, given the shooting action… We did some explaining…)
——————————————————————————
Rockstar: (Looking at some pic Kings has on his laptop) Daddy, what’s that?
Kings: That place is in Japan. We’ve never been to Japan for holiday, do you want to go someday?
Rockstar: No, don’t want. It’s not safe. They get earthquakes.

Watching some kiddie character ham it up on Rockstar’s cbeebies channel:
Me: <muttering to myself while walking by> Wow that looks a bit gay. (By which I happened to mean effeminate…)
Rockstar: What’s gay?
Me: Happy, dear. The guy on tv is really cheerful. <thinking: How did he hear that, I was mumbling and he’s supposed to be watching tv. Don’t kids and men totally zone out in front of the tv>
Hours later, Kings in the living room decompressing and grunting amusedly over Stephen Chow fails to amuse the Rockstar and yes you can see it coming, can’t you?
Rockstar: <meant as a complaint that he’s bored and his dad is not entertaining him while I’m in the shower> Mum! Daddy’s gay.

Haha, what did his Daddy say to that? – the “happy” remark? 😀
Laughed it off loh.. He out talks the Dad every time anyways.. Just an aside though, Kings’ gay-dar is much better than mine, he used to have gay housemates..
A shocking revelation! The Casanova of LSE is in fact gay! So be extra suspicious when Kings calls to say he is staying up late at work with his male colleagues.
Dude. Really? That the best you can do? Now I know how you have that info on his secret double life.. You were that housemate of his, weren’t you? (Was that better? :P)
HAHAHAHAHAHAHHA! He’s too cute!!!!!!
My hubby must be ‘gay’ too ..cos he enjoys movies with slapstick humor. Last Sunday, we dropped by the local community library while the kids were at Sunday School. I borrowed some cds for the kids and me (yup! mummy’s got privilege..) He browsed through the cd selections on the racks and asked me why I didn’t get the Jackie Chan/Stephen Chow oldies…or ‘God of Gamblers’/ ‘King of Gamblers.’……you get the drift…. And then told me to let him choose 2 cds on our next visit…. Yawn…..
p/s By the way, during my last pregnancy, the older kids and hubby loved watching Mr. Bean… I would then quietly go into my room, closed the door and read or prayed. Ooh and told them to lower the volume. I beh tahan slapstick humor. 🙂 …..and was afraid it would be contagious and passed to my then unborn baby. silly hor.. 🙂
Thanks, Heather…
jk – YES!! Cannot understand why they like Chow Sing Chi so much!! (Though I like some Jackie Chan… but not the Rush Hour stuff)… I’m also worried it rubs off on Rockstar… and Baby Rockstar… I mean, I can understand some of it being really funny, but some other bits are just really annoying…
Oh, just an aside, an ex-colleague (and Stephen Chow fan) rounded a corner at a bar some years ago and came face to face with – yes, the man himself. Apparently she experienced Pavlovian reaction and laughed right in his face because his default expression apparently really was that dead pan look he has in some of those movies. He did NOT look amused, seems he just carried on staring at her with that expression til she fled back to her table – still laughing.
