Waiting for you after class

It's been years since I've listened to Jay Chou. He came out with his first album when I was in sixth grade. I didn't have his CD for a while, and my mom didn't allow us to watch TV at the time so the only ways I could listen to his songs were by secretly flicking on MTV and Channel V whenever she went out or by calling Carol. 

Carol was like the first person in my class to possess this coveted Jay Chou album, and I'd call her just so she would play his songs for me over the phone. I distinctly remember pressing my ear against the phone, suction cup close, to catch all the lyrics to 可愛女人 and 開不了口 while trying to think of a nice way to ask Carol to stop singing along please. 

Anyway I'm really glad I re-discovered Jay and this song, "Waiting for you." It's this line in particular that gets me: 

當我開始學會做蛋餅 才發現你 不吃早餐
