of chicken curry and calvin and hobbes.

I spent the weekend doing a few things, namely:

• cooking and burning a pot of curry (managed to salvage it somewhat but i was rather disappointed) :( read somewhere online that adding peanut butter to the dish can reduce the burnt taste but i didn't have any at home so i didn't try. am curious if it would work!

• listening to Mayday's 第二人生 (Second Round) album which I really, really like :) 

• "warming" my ex-housemate's new home.. i was expecting a big crowd so i was pleased that it was a cosy get-together.. and there was wine too so yeah i was kept relaxed haha :) also, her husband loves reading and collecting action figures so a huge section of the condo was dedicated to books and collectibles -- impressive!

• reading calvin and hobbes! i started from the very first strip and is now half way through the first tome. i aim to do this once every other year. :) if only i could express how much i adore the boy and his friend!

• it was father's day yesterday! we just had a simple dinner at Puchong Curry Fish Head. had wanted to bring him for Thai food, the same place where we celeb'd mother's day but he wanted something else -- i was so pleased we went there cos food was really delish. ^_^ but erm, i didn't even get to take a photo with dad! *regret* after dinner we went home to have some laichee which were very sweet. oh before that, my mom told us that...

• the cat has ran away. *HEARTBROKEN* stupid cat! i am so over this cat business and i will NEVER love another one of your species! EVER! STUPIDCAT why you go and break my heart?! :'( please come back :'(

anyway, today's write up has nothing to do with the song..

i think the lyrics to 玩偶 Puppet is quite obvious, a boy who's after a girl who's not into him. i don't really know anyone like that in real life, but i am familiar with the stereotype. shame on you!, is all i can say to the person stringing another around. ok, this is obviously not my area of expertise and i have nothing to add to the topic right now. have a good week ahead! :)

update: after posting this, i was tempted to rewrite the whole piece because the writing is so bleh.. but, but..


當司機 搬東西 幫你開車門
隨傳隨到陪你逛街 希望你認真
你跟別人玩耍 叫我在家楞
餵你的哈士奇 還聽他說我笨
i am the chauffeur, the mover, i'll even open the car door for you
roaming the streets together, hoping that you would take me seriously
while you're out playing with others, i'm left at home staring at nothing
and when feeding your pet husky, even it calls me stupid

我不想讀你的腳本
不想讓你動我的嘴巴
我不想往身上綁線
不想當你的玩偶~玩偶~
i don't want to read your script
don't want to allow you to move my lips
i don't to be moved by the strings tied to my body
i don't want to your puppet/marionette

送你禮物鮮花 幫你修電燈
帶你上山陪你烤肉 還解不了悶
每天每天痴等 是我太遲鈍
想做你的情人 可是感覺像光棍
giving you presents and fresh flowers
helping you repair the electrical light
bringing you up the hills and sitting with you as we roast meat
but you're still bored
every day i wait for you like a fool, i am an idiot!
i want to be your lover, but it feels like i'm single

我不想照你的規則
在你的指間 No
我不想當你的玩偶
i don't want to follow your rules
or to be wrapped around your little finger, no
i don't want to be your puppet
