Critical paper VS 10 to 1

Ning Meng Cao De Wei Dao / The Taste of Lemongrass
Jolin Tsai
Romanized and translated by Sherry.

Ta men cai wo men hou lai you mei you zai jian
They make guesses as to whether we saw each other afterwards
Li xi le cai hui xiao de huai nian
Only when I left did I learn to cherish the memories
Tu ran wo ji qi ni de lian
Suddenly I recall your face
Na chu dong yi ran xiang zuo tian
The emotional arousal is still like yesterday
Dui zi ji
To myself
Wo zhong ye yu cheng shi le yi dian
I have finally become a little more truthful

Shi bu shi hui yi jiu shi dan dan ning meng cao
Is it that recollections are weak and tasteless lemongrass
Xin suan li you you fang xiang de wei dao
Within my aching heart there’s also a spring-like flavor
Ceng yi wei ni shi quan shi jie
Once thought that you were the world
Dan na tian yi jing hao yao yuan
But that day is already very distant
Rao yi quan
Walking in a circle
Wo cai fa xian wo you geng yuan di ping xian
I just discovered I have a farther horizon

Wo men duo mei cuo
Neither of us was wrong
Zhi shi bu shi he
It’s just that we’re incompatible
Wo yao de
What I want
Wo xian zai cai dong de
I now understand
Kuai le shi wo de
Happiness is mine
Bu shi ne gei de
Not something you give
Ji mo yao zi ji fu zhe
Must take responsibility for loneliness

Bi jing yong jin li qi ye wei bi ru yuan
When all is said and done, it is not definite that after exhausting our strength our wishes will be granted
Zong shi yao guo qu yi hou cai liao jie
Understanding always must come after it has all passed
Tu ran wo ji qi ni de lian
Suddenly I recall your face
Ai bu ai bu guo yi nian zhi jian
To love or not to love is merely a sudden thought
Rao yi quan
Walking in a circle
Jin tian de wo neng he zuo tian mian dui mian
Today I can come face to face with yesterday

Wo men duo mei cuo
Neither of us was wrong
Zhi shi bu shi he
It’s just that we’re incompatible
Qin ai de
Dearest
Wo dang shi bu dong de
Back then I didn’t understand
Xuan ze shi wo de
The choice is mine
Bu shi ni gei de
Not something you give
Ming tian zi ji fu ze
Must take responsibility for tomorrow

Gei zuo tian de wo yi ge yong bao
Give the me of yesterday a hug
Ceng jing ta bu zhi ru he shi hao
At one time she didn’t know what is best
Ruo wo men zai jian wo hui wei xiao
If we meet again I will smile
Xie xie ni
Thank you
Xie xie ni
Thank you
Wo chang guo ai de hao
I once tasted the goodness of love

Oh…

Wo yao de
What I want
Wo xian zai cai dong de
I now understand
Xuan zhe shi wo de
The choice is mine
Bu shi ni gei de
Not something you give
Xing fu yao zi ji fu ze
Must take responsibility for my own happiness
Cuo guo de
What we missed

ONE Person I Want To See Right Now
01. Yan Hei (my baby cousin)...really wanna hold her!

So I've done some more driving but I don't think I'm a very good driver at all but my mom is already asking if I want to take the test. I definitely need more practice.

Speaking of my mine, she's been home for a few months and I know she's definitely bored because she's trying so hard to find something to do. She's gone crazy with cleaning stuff out. >.< It's driving me crazy..she keeps asking, "What's this? Do we need this? Why don't you just trash this? Put this away! Fix this for me!" @_@ She's changed so much! Apparently, now that I'm 18, everything is different. Sometimes, I can't believe what comes out of my mom's mouth.

She seems quite happy that I'm going to prom and excited about it too. The other day she asked why I didn't rent a hotel room for after prom!! What happened to my paranoid mother?! My sister immediately shouted, "You want her to rent a hotel room?!" My mom said, "Well, it's to hang out and have fun!" Wow...I was shocked. She also mentioned drinking and I said, "Mom...you do realize the drinking age is 21." Haha...she also encouraged a date when I was hesistant. The thing is, several months ago, when we were picking up my cousin from the Winter Ball (which I didn't wanna go to), I had mentioned if that would be ok and she kinda freaked out.

And on Sunday, she also wanted me to drive down 309 expressway when I had only been on the road twice before. They're doing construction on the road and people drive at like 75mph when the speed limit is 45. Well, they are being stricting about enforcing the speed limit with the construction and all but still, the point is, I don't know who my mom is anymore!

Alright, time to watch All In!

	.:: Stacey ::. May 4, 2005 11:45 PM PDT I liked this entry. :) Very enjoyable to read. For one thing, I adore "Ning Meng Cao De Wei Dao"!!! Love that song! :D [THREE Things I Do Every Day 03. Listen to music 02. Eat rice 01. Use the computer] <--- That would be me as well. :P I totally can't live without going on my computer and listening to music, and rice... that's just cos we always eat it. ^^ Haha... seems like your mum has changed . :P Hehe... it's funny how everyone's trying to figure out what she meant by renting out a hotel room. ;) I hope she meant for you and your friends too. :D I'm sure you'll find out who your mum is soon... maybe it takes a while for you both to adjust to you being 18 now. :) Take care!


	Sherry May 4, 2005 03:54 PM PDT well, i'm hoping and assuming she meant for my friends and i...but she didn't mention anything about guys and normally, she would definitely say something about it


	caiyun May 4, 2005 06:06 AM PDT haha. you're mum is kewl. i was wondering too, if your mum want you rent a hotel room for you and your date, or you and your friends =P hehehehehe. my mum has changed too. it's probably normal. the older you become, the more changes. we have to get use to that =P


	DaoMingMikai May 3, 2005 11:28 PM PDT Ahaha... Wirda's right. XD For you and your date or for you and your friends? =P Hmm... My mom changed a lot too ever since I started going to college. She's been more relaxed with rules... She lets me go out with friends. Not that I do go out though... I'm not into drinking and partying anyway. >_< Maybe it's coz they think we're more mature now? In your case, being 18... In my case, being in college. Ehehe... Hahaha... People change. Even our moms. =P


	wirda May 3, 2005 10:25 PM PDT lol i take this as a very amusing entry... just wanna be clear... does she wants u to rent a hotel room for u n ur prom date or for u n ur frens??? lol!!!
