Lyrics to Out-Checked by Maribelle Anes

VERSE 1:
I know what I am feeling is right
every thing you do, what you say is my type
tell me how’s it possible to not feel it too?
when your in pain, who is always there for you?

(that’s right, i’m here)
i’m the shoulder that you lean on
(how isn’t it clear)
when your weaker, i will be strong
but you won’t feel the same
i’m waiting on a change
how about I check the list
boy listen to this

CHORUS:
can you trust me? check
am I funny? yes
we can stay up talking till next sunset
I am honest
live life to the funnest
I meet every little thing in your list
it’s out-checked

do I love you (x4)

VERSE 2:
the only subject on my mind
we fit perfectly
didn’t you see over time
cupid got me trapped in the friend zone
I’m trying but you won’t
see me other than just a friend

(that’s right I’m here)
I’m the shoulder that you lean on
(how isn’t it clear)
that I love you why’s that so wrong
but you won’t feel same
I’m waiting on a change
how about I check the list
boy listen to this

BRIDGE:
you’re saying things like I am not your type
but I am so right if
only you could see
that you belong to me
I’m putting up a fight
I gotta change your mind…

Crazy Asian Parent by Just Kidding Films

Just Kidding Films puts the role reversal on Asian parents. Usually, Asian parents want their kids to be doctors, lawyers, or engineers, not in music and arts like we saw in Glee Season 3 Episode 3 : Asian F. What if Asian parents didn’t want their kids to be doctors, but instead wanted them on the “safe” career path of rappers. Bart and Joe offer a hilarious take on this bizzaro world situation. See what happens when parents move their kids from the valley to the ghetto to get street cred. Parents will still compare you to their friends kids in either world.

More about Ching-He Huang

Born in Taiwan to Chinese parents, Ching was raised on freshly cooked home meals for which ingredients were always bought on a daily basis. Her major food influences stem from the traditional cooking styles of her farming-community grandparents, who lived in the countryside of southern Taiwan.

Alongside their paddy fields and bamboo farms, they also cultivated an orangery, a sweet potato patch and mango trees. For Ching, weekends were a chance to eat meals and snacks which originated from age-old recipes, fresh from the soil.

At the age of five, Ching and her family immigrated to South Africa where she was exposed to an entirely different diet and climate. As the only Chinese children in their school, she and her older brother caused a stir with their packed lunches of fried rice and vegetables with dried meat powder or cucumber pickle with chili.

The biggest change was to come when she was 11 years old. Ching moved again, this time to London. From her early teens, with her parents involved in running their own businesses and her mother often abroad, Ching had to cook the family meals. She was taught the basic philosophy behind Chinese cuisine (the emphasis on balancing yin and yang through hot and cold ingredients), but then was left to improvise alone.
As a self-taught cook, the experience was to be the inspiration behind launching her own food company. A TV presence seemed inevitable and, in 2005, Ching’s Kitchen aired on UKTV Food. Since then Ching has made TV appearances on ITV’s Saturday Cooks and Daily Cooks, UKTV’s Market Kitchen and Channel Five’s Cooking the Books. Ching’s first cookbook, China Modern, was published in autumn 2006, and her second, Chinese
Food Made Easy, accompanies the BBC TV series.
