Julian’s imagination is running high these days! In the evening while I was washing dishes, he took out his Hero Cape and put it on and pretended to be a Hero. I played along with him…
Me: Oh there is a fire in the town! Quick Put out the fire and save the people!
Ju (Ran out into the living room, then walked back into the kitchen): Mummy, a hero does not put out fire! I am not a fireman!
Me: Then what does a Hero do?
Ju: A Hero only saves people!

I was trimming Julian’s fingernail when he said..
Ju: Mummy, Jesus was nailed to the cross?
Me: Yes.
Ju: Do you know how the soldiers nail Jesus to the cross? Let me show you.
(Ju picked up a piece of clipped nail and poke it on my hand.)
Ju: That’s how they do it!
Me: …………………
Showed Ju this video on Joe Hisaishi today and he made some comments…
They pluck out the hair then they can play the piano…
Why like that?…
So poor thing right…
Me : Ju, where did you get your mosquito bites on your legs from?
Ju : I got 2 mosquito bite my legs. Then I go to the hospital and then doctor ask me. Then I say the mosquitoes are flying, and then the bees chase them. Then the mosquitoes fly to me.
John and I bursted out into laughter!
Yesterday, Julian fell outside our house door and had a small open wound on his knee.
Bedtime, halfway through reading a story to him, he began to talk to himself…
Ju: God, today I fell down. I pray that you can make the floor not rough. Make it into soft floor OK. So that when I fall down I will not be hurt…
Yesterday, teachers in Ju’s school feedbacked to John a cheeky response that he gave during sports time when they were calling his name…
teacher : Julian
Ju : (Ignored)
teacher : Julian
Ju : My name is Benedict Sng Kai Yang
teacher : (Initially, teachers thought he was referring to baby’s name but remembered baby is a girl. So, they went to check out his file and realised his full name is Julian Benedict Sng Kai Yang. The teachers said they found his answer very amusingand went back to Ju.)
teacher : Is your name Julian?
Ju : I think so (with a cheeky smile)
Few nights ago, Ju and I were lying on his bed together chit chatting… something came from him which I found so profound…
Ju : Mummy, I want to die.
Me : Why?
Ju : Then I can see God.
Me : I don’t think God wants you to die yet because you still have lots of work to do for God.
Ju changed topic after that.
Today… after bath back from school…
Julian : (Came to hug my tummy after dressed up) I love you baby!
Me : Ju, do you remember you said you wanted to flush baby into the toilet bowl last night?
Julian : (Face changed from smiling to a fearful face) I don’t want. I want baby to stay inside to grow and grow…
Me : Ok. Then maybe you should tell baby not to come out yet and you will not put him into the toilet bowl.
Julian : (Came hugging my tummy again with a big smile) Baby stay inside ok. You must grow and grow inside. You cannot come out yet. You are not going into the toilet bowl ok.
Last night… while 3 of us were lying on the bed in the dark trying to sleep…
Julian : Mummy, I don’t want baby. I want mummy to poo poo out baby and flush into the toilet bowl.
Me : (Thinking, Oh my! Is this serious! Sign of jealousy? Oh God what should I say?.. Ok stay cool!) Hmm.. Flush baby into the toilet bowl? What do you think baby will be thinking if we do that?
Julian : Baby will be flushed into the toilet bowl and then go down the drain…
Daddy: Does Ju Ju like to be flushed down the toilet bowl and then go down the drain?
Julian: No…
Daddy: So do you still want baby to be flushed down the toilet bowl?
Julian: Yes…
Me : Should we really do that? I really wonder how will baby feel…
Julian : Baby will be scared and stuck inside the toilet bowl.
Me : Oh dear… then what should we do?
Julian : Bring baby out…
Me : That’s very nice of you… Should we still flush baby into toilet bowl?
Julian : No…
Me : Are you sure?
Julian : Yes…
I was cutting apple for Ju as requested by him. While I was gathering the cut apples into a light blue coloured bowl, Ju came to me with a dark blue coloured bowl…
Ju : Mummy, I want to use this blue bowl. I don’t like that blue colour bowl.
Me : Can we just use this bowl then we don’t have to wash it and waste water?
Ju : I want this blue bowl.
Me : It is the same. Don’t have to change.
Ju : (Sulk face. Put his bowl back and at the same time saying…) Hmm.. Mummy didn’t listen to me! I want the blue bowl what! Mummy didn’t listen to me!”
Me : (Laughing) Ok! We use your bowl.
Ju : (Still sulking. Open cabinet and take out his bowl and pass to me) I like this blue bowl.
