On sunny days try something new
Like a romantic adventure lt feels so right
lt's a shame to stay at home when the sun is calling out to you
Explore new places like a park or a beach
A grassland suitable for lovers
A road suitable for speeding
Try to go beyond its borders
A slope on which brakes fail
A cliff suitable for sharing jokes
Atree providing shade as you sigh
Warmth like you're in an embrace
The wind is playing with your hair
On sunny days try something new
Explore unknown places like a cave or a mountaintop
Days in the sun... You'll lose out if you're weak.
Get closerto smiles and curiosity
Dad is a Chef from Hell
lt's a star-lit night in the country tonight.
Everyone should see a bright sky... l suppose you can't see anything.
Spencer, Pigpig, come down for your dinner.
Just a bit more... l do want to revise a bit more.
Nabeshin and Onigiriyama were only a couple of marks behind me
and they're attending tuition. But my mum...
ln the future world, you've to work with your hands and legs.
The more you revise, the more stupid you'll get.
That should be it... Honestly,
l hope to get normal scores. As an ordinary primary 3 student,
l'd love to revise as much as l like.
You're so noisy.
This is mum.
You can tell by a look.
What are you doing, Spencer?
Frozen.
Could you be...revising your work?
Sorry...
Wait a minute, haven't l told you?
Revision is of no use. ln the future world...
You've to work with your hands and legs.
Forget about revision. You'll only have a bright future if you work.
Get it? Mum's saying this because l want you to be happy.
l know. Can you retrieve yourfoot?
Where're mum and brother?
Work is the key to success. The star overthere is the star of
labour... Mum.
Come for dinner.
Mum has forgotten about it.
l'll tuck in first.
Well... the phone is ringing.
Well... let me take that. l've nothing to do anyway.
Lizzy, answer the phone.
ls something wrong?
l'm sorry, this is the Yamas. What? Go on a holiday?
Tomorrow? A hot spring trip on the new route?
Please wait, this... hot spring holiday...
Please go ahead.
Great! When mum's gone tomorrow, l can revise for all l want.
But the laundry and cooking...
No problem.
We've the washing machine and microwave oven and dad can...
Yes, dad can cook too.
Wait, mum, you can't leave!
ls that right?
Stop mum from going! lf dad cooks...
lf he cooks...?
lf he cooks...
What will happen?
Tell sis too.
Spencer.
Don't you know? Let me tell you what will happen if dad cooks.
Dad may have the interest but it's not a matter of how he cooks.
Then what's the problem?
l'll cook yummy seafood curry today.
He bought the ingredients happily...
l'm back.
What happened?
Prawns, fish,
dolphin...
Why is there a dolphin? And a killer whale?
Whale.
That's it. Will you put whale meat in a normal seafood curry?
So what happened to the whale afterthat?
Better not ask that ridiculous question. This is a cartoon
afterall! Get it? lf dad cooks...
Listen to me carefully, so...
To prevent dad from cooking, we must stop mum from going.
Then goodbye, l'll go tomorrow.
Please...
Why do you want to go? What will dad prepare?
Because l'd really like to go.
That's easy for you to say.
No problem, l won't let dad cook. Mum will talk to him.
But...
lt's tasty but a bit bland.
l've learnt skills from various places so what are we having today?
Cup noodles.
Teacher...
Dad, do you understand now?
Don't cook something strange like you did the last time.
Spencer is very worried.
That whale incident shock them. lt became ajoke to everyone!
Don't try to cook while l'm away. lt's a deal.
That won't do, mum, you've to sound more firm and strict.
Really.
lt's a deal.
A promise.
OK, let's plan tomorrow's itinerary.
lt doesn't feel right, dad's laughter.
What do you think, Pigpig? Will dad cook?
Stop putting noodles up your nostril or you may become
pork chop. l didn't answer, there was no deal.
Spencer.
Where are you going?
Nowhere.
Are you trying to get out before mum leaves?
Then you won't have to worry even if dad cooks. ls that it?
That's not what l had in mind.
Really?
Don't you have to work today?
lt's Sunday.
Really.
That laughter - dad must be up to some mischief.
Dad plans to do it after mum leaves...
l'm going on a holiday.
Yes, take care.
Obey your dad.
Yes.
Hot spring...
Mum, don't get too excited. Watch the cars.
OK, let's do the laundry.
Washing machine... Ours is fully automatic...
Planning... Dad is really planning to cook.
He intends to vent his pressure at work on his family.
l want to cook anyhow to my heart's desire.
l don't even know what l'll prepare.
l'll just cook. l'm the chef from hell!
Spencer, let dad cook.
Pigpig.
Do you mean...
Should l extract what's on my mind now and realise it?
Don't do something ridiculous.
ls this animal torture?
What? Sunny Pigpig, l...
Cabbage.
Enough, teacher.
Don'tjust sit there.
lf dad starts cooking, you may become his ingredient.
Maybe pork chop or a roasted pig.
Surely you don't want that.
Spencer. Yes.
What would you like to eat today?
Well...
Cup noodle or sushi from the sushi shop or spring rolls...
That won't do...lt's betterto prepare it yourself...
Why? Hasn't mum stopped you?
l didn't answer her.
Who are you?
Thanks for your help. ls that you? lt's been a long time.
Yes, l understand.
Spencer.
l've to go out for a while. Can you take care of the house?
Go out?
Great. Then dad's not cooking.
Great, what good luck.
l'm leaving.
Take care.
Then dad's not cooking and mum's not in. Thank god!
Fine, my wife's capable and the children are healthy.
The pet is kind of overweight but it's an ideal family.
Right, dad must work hard too.
Chef from hell.
Hot spring...
Now that mum and dad are not in, it's my world today!
(Can do anything l want!)
Your world? What are you going to do?
Yes, let me take dad's place and cook.
Add broad beans and dumplings to my fried noodles.
Call it the beans and dumpling noodles.
Are you really... doing that?
Of course, the beans are healthy and the dumplings, chewy.
The sauce forthe noodles is yummy!
Just thinking about it is enough to make my eyes...
l don't want them to drop.
Just kidding. How could you do that?
Spencer.
That sound...
Nabeshin and Onigiriyama, aren't you attending tuition today?
Who study on a Sunday?
There're no pretty girls.
That kind of tuition centre...
l'd rather not go!
That must be how Spencerfeels too.
You'll understand.
We're in primary 3, our youth is too precious to miss!
Stop revising, let's play wrestling.
Looks rough.
l'm back.
What a party. Are yourfriends here, Spencer?
Surrender.
That's nothing.
What's the matter, Pigpig?
Strange thing...
What's that?
No idea.
Come on, these are cooking ingredients.
Yourfathers will be really happy to see you happy.
The fathers?
Hi, Spencer.
First appearance.
l seem to have met you before, uncles.
What... is dad doing here?
Aren't you at the tuition centre?
Shall we tell mum?
Justjoking.
Who are these uncles?
My dad.
Our dads lookjust like us.
Let's make this clear.
They're Nabeshin and Onigiriyama's fathers.
What? l see.
They're fathers too and they're members of the Strange Things Club.
Strange Things Club?
lt's a happy group that cooks with strange things.
ls that so?
Let's play outside.
We're leaving.
Make yourselves comfortable.
Before we're done,
wait patiently.
A crisis forthe leading males.
lf only we were at the tuition centre.
The problem is how do we escape? No one's coming to save us and...
We can't leave without them knowing.
Spencer, think of something!
l'm thinking. Meanwhile, stay there and cry.
Got it. Cry some more!
Shouldn't have let mum go.
Mum should be on her way now...
On her way?
Pigpig, that's it.
Come on, Pigpig, set on.
Pigpig has the powerto convert human thoughts to reality.
What... sound is that?
Coming!
What happened?
Nabeshin, Onigiriyama, hop on the Pigpig route.
But...
We've to give way to alighting passengers first.
Spencer, who's driving it?
l think it's Pigpig.
Overloaded.
lt's tough...
Anyway, l'm hungry.
There should be food stalls along the new route.
But if the fathers were the cooks...
Don't utter strange things, Spencer.
You guys look happy.
No matter what, you boys just hate dad's cooking, right?
l won't say 'hate'... well...
ln this case, let's include you in the primary school kids' buns.
Primary school kids...
Buns? You mean...
Dad's a chef from hell!
Help!
We are...
the assistants.
You'll only feel the heat in the beginning.
You'll feel nothing once you're become the filling.
Filling...
There must be a mistake. How could he turn his son into filling?
How could this happen in the tiny Japan?
lt does!
Don't say that!
Where's the fat guy? lnside.
What an energetic fellow!
Pigpig.
Then who's driving?
What will happen?
What will happen?
No idea. Just scream together!
HELP!!!
Nabeshin, Onigiriyama.
Young kids should attend tuition
even if there're no pretty girls. lt's betterthan ending up
like Spencer. Pardon me.
Who are you?
Thank you for taking care of my son.
Kind of sudden that the Strange Things Club is cooking here.
This tuition centre is done for.
l'm back.
You're back.
Have you eaten? l've bought sushi for you.
That's out of fashion...
but most welcome.
Let me try.
Great. l'd rather eat Pigpig than...
strange stuff that dad cooks.
What happened?
Pig can make into pork sushi.
Then the Strange Things Club will dissolve before the next gathering.
lt's a bit too sweet, want some?
No.
There's no map.
This road...
leads to the station if you turn left.
Divination
lt's not a good thing...
Even if you can see yourfuture. lt's raining pigs now.
Say, 'l am back!' Just like l used to...
Because l am too lonely...
Say, 'l am going!' Myjourney shall start today.
Two sets of footsteps on this little road.
Go forward
