    Livin in a Chokish paradise...HE'S SCUM!

    A spoof of a spoof. Credits to "Weird Al" Yankovic for his song: Amish Paradise and Gump
     
     
    Amish Paradise (original)
    As I walk through the valley where I harvest my grain
    I take a look at my wife and realize she's very plain
    But that's just perfect for an Amish like me
    You know, I shun fancy things like electricity
    At 4:30 in the morning I'm milkin' cows
    Jebediah feeds the chickens and Jacob plows... fool
    And I've been milkin' and plowin' so long that
    Even Ezekiel thinks that my mind is gone
    I'm a man of the land, I'm into discipline
    Got a Bible in my hand and a beard on my chin
    But if I finish all of my chores and you finish thine
    Then tonight we're gonna party like it's 1699

    We been spending most our lives
    Living in an Amish paradise
    I've churned butter once or twice
    Living in an Amish paradise
    It's hard work and sacrifice
    Living in an Amish paradise
    We sell quilts at discount price
    Living in an Amish paradise

    A local boy kicked me in the butt last week
    I just smiled at him and turned the other cheek
    I really don't care, in fact I wish him well
    'Cause I'll be laughing my head off when he's burning in hell
    But I ain't never punched a tourist even if he deserved it
    An Amish with a 'tude? You know that's unheard of
    I never wear buttons but I got a cool hat
    And my homies all I agree I look good in black... fool
    If you come to visit, you'll be bored to tears
    We haven't even paid the phone bill in 300 years
    But we ain't really quaint, so please don't point and stare
    We're just technologically impaired

    There's no phone, no lights, no motorcar
    Not a single luxury
    Like Robinson Crusoe
    It's as primitive as can be

    We been spending most our lives
    Living in an Amish paradise
    We're just plain and simple guys
    Living in an Amish paradise
    There's no time for sin and vice
    Living in an Amish paradise
    We don't fight, we all play nice
    Living in an Amish paradise

    Hitchin' up the buggy, churnin' lots of butter
    Raised a barn on Monday, soon I'll raise another
    Think you're really righteous? Think you're pure in heart?
    Well, I know I'm a million times as humble as thou art
    I'm the pious guy the little Amlettes wanna be like
    On my knees day and night scorin' points for the afterlife
    So don't be vain and don't be whiny
    Or else, my brother, I might just have to get medieval on your heinie

    We been spending most our lives
    Living in an Amish paradise
    We're all crazy Mennonites
    Living in an Amish paradise
    There's no cops or traffic lights
    Living in an Amish paradise
    But you'd probably think it bites
    Living in an Amish paradise

    Chokish Paradise (edited)
     
    Ok, I can't spoof the whole song but I'll spoof the chorus.
     
    We've been spending our two years
    Livin' in a Chokish paradise
    We fail H3 chem once or twice
    Livin' in a Chokish paradise
    But it's quite funny actually
    Livin' in a Chokish paradise
    The teacher's outta his mind
    Livin' in a Chokish paradise
     
     
    Gump (original)
     
    Gump sat alone on a bench in the park
    "My name is Forrest", he'd casually remark
    Waitin' for the bus with his hands in his pockets
    He just kept sayin' life is like a box of chocolates

    He's Gump, he's Gump
    What's in his head?
    He's Gump, he's Gump, he's Gump
    Is he in-bred?

    Gump was a big celebrity
    He told JFK that he really had to pee
    He never feels too dumb because
    His mom always told him stupid is as stupid does

    He's Gump, he's Gump
    He's kinda square
    He's Gump, he's Gump, he's Gump
    What's with that hair?

    Run... run... run, run, now Forrest
    Run... run... run like the wind now
    Run... run... run, run, now Forrest
    Run... stop!

    His buddy Bubba was a shrimp-lovin' man
    His friend with no legs he called Lieutenant Dan
    His girlfriend Jenny was kind of a slut
    went to the White House, showed LBJ his butt

    He's Gump, he's Gump
    He's not too bright
    He's Gump, he's Gump, he's Gump
    But he's alright

    Is this Gump out of his head?
    I think so
    Is this Gump really brain dead?
    I think so
    Did this Gump make lots of bread?
    I think so
    And that's all I have to say about that
     
    Scum (edit)
     
    Scum sat alone on his bicycle seat
    "My name is Premchan'", He'd casually remark
    Cycling his bike with his hands in his pockets
    He just kept saying the road is like a box of chocolates
     
    He's Scum, he's Scum
    What's in his head?
    He's Scum, he's scum, he's scum
    Is he i-nbred?
     
    Grump was a big imbecile
    He told Mr Yang that he really had to pee
    He never feels too dumb because
    His friend always told him he thinks better with his balls
     
    He's Scum, he's Scum
    He's he's kinda mad
    He's Scum, he's scum, he's scum
    What's with his lunch?
     
    Run...run...run, now Premchan'
    Run...run...run your teacher's coming now
    Run...DAng (Got caught)
     
    His friend Kenny was a car-lovin' man
    His friend who was spastic he called Mr Tee Kay Wok
    His girlfriend Demaptera was kind of a slut
    Played BF and raped the newbie's butt.
     
    He's Scum, He's Scum
    He's not too bright
    He's Scum, he's Scum, he's Scum
    But he's alright
     
    Is this Scum out of his head?
    I think so
    Is this Scum really brain dead?
    I think so
    Did this Gump bake lot's of bread?
    I think so
    And that's all I have to say about that.
     
    Spoof of a spoof = MEGA SPOOF

    Journey's end

    My life has been turned upside down and everything shaken out. I have nothing more to my name. I have nothing in my pockets, not a penny to throw down a wishing well to wish things straight. Can't things be the way they were? Why must the winds of time blow my way and blow everything I have away. Nobody knows who I really am. Nobody cares for who I am. I am just dust and shadow. The world is ending. My world is dying. Soon, there will be nothing left. I will become and empty shell. A ghost of my former self. Wandering along the lives of men. Invisible. Till the day I crumble away, I still live. Not for what tomorrow might bring, but for yesterday held...
     
    I have nothing to my name.
    All shall fade away.
    I will remain in a corner, unseen
    and where men cannot understand.
    I will remain in the void,
    with nothing to my name
     
    I wonder what it's like to be alive.
    Is there life before death?
    Or is there just death?
     
    My road ends here. This is the end of the road. I have my knife in my right hand. I can use it to end it all right here right now or I can take a million years to make myself a new raod for others to trample on. I'd take the first option. There's no point trying to create your destiny in this world. It'll just be sucked away by those who do.
     
    This is the end. You will not hear from me again.
    永别了。。。 。。。

    Your mudder so fat, I mean, your teacher so short

    Going to school everyday with nothing going in but crap coming out. It's exam season once again... Anyway I shall list all the crap I came up with before I forget it...
     
    YOUR TEACHER SO SHORT AND
               YOUR TEACHER SO SMALL JOKES
     
    Your teacher so short...
     
    that he uses a stool for a table!
     
    that when people see him they ask,"Where's Snow White?"
     
    that when he go swimming, he almost drown in the baby pool!
     
    that when he tip-toe, he only manages to reach the tip of his pencil!
     
    that when he open his lap-top, he uses a ladder!
     
    that when he hug a girl, he get sued!
     
     
    Your teacher so small...
     
    that when he take a walk in the park, Thumbelina almost step on him!
     
    that when he watches TV, he only see one colour! (the pixels)
     
    that when he go swimming, he cannot break the surface tension!
     
    that when he types, he uses his elbows!
     
    that when he goes underwater, he thought he went to disneyland! (H20 molecule looks like a mickey)
     
    that when his bio teacher taught about membranes, he falsified the concept of partially permeable membranes!
     
    that when he goes near a pebble, he gets caught in its gravitational field!
     
    that when he plays soccer on a cornflake!
     
    that when he used the pipette filler, he got stuck in the pipette!
     
    that when it snows, he uses snowflakes as shirukens!

    Hope

    Hope
     
    God has placed all of his hope on us.
    And I keep none for myself,
    People look at me and they do not trust,
    a hopeless person such as me.
     
    Who else can I be?
    With all that I have and am,
    Beyond the horizon I cannot see.
    Nor do I bother,
    cause it's too far away from me.
     
    I sit in my dirty little corner,
    Thinking about who I am.
    A worthless hopeless loser,
    Never did I hope,
    That the horizon would come any closer.
     
    I begin my endless quest,
    to see beyond the horizon.
    My only hope that beyond the horizon,
    lies the best.
     
    After ages past,
    I find myself,
    Back where I was,
    In ages past.
     
    Is this where my hope is?
    No, replied the sand,
    it lies just over the horizon.
    Right where I was in ages past.
     
    Hope.
    It brings you back to where you are,
    to realise that there is none.

    Meaningful lyrics

    Ordinary World

    by Gregorian

    album: Masters Of Chant Chapter 3  (2004)

    Came in from a rainy Thursday
    on the avenue
    thought I heard you talking softly 
    I turned on the lights, the TV
    and the radio
    still I can't escape the ghost of you 
    What has happened to it all?
    Crazy, some'd say
    Where is the life that I recognize?
    But I won't cry for yesterday
    there's an ordinary world
    Somehow I have to find
    and as I try to make my way
    to the ordinary world
    I will learn to survive 
    Passion or coincidence
    once prompted you to say
    "Pride will tear us both apart"
    Well now pride's gone out the window
    cross the rooftops
    run away
    left me in the vacuum of my heart 
    What is happening to me?
    Crazy, some'd say
    Where is my friend when I need you most?
    But I won't cry for yesterday
    there's an ordinary world
    somehow I have to find
    and as I try to make my way
    to the ordinary world
    I will learn to survive 
    Papers in the roadside
    tell of suffering and greed
    here today, forgot tomorrow
    ooh, here besides the news
    of holy war and holy need
    ours is just a little sorrowed talk 
    And I don't cry for yesterday
    there's an ordinary world
    Somehow I have to find
    and as I try to make my way
    to the ordinary world
    I will learn to survive 
    every one
    any one
    any one
    every one

    Teh 5 peeps that you'll meet in heaven

    Yup I just read the book in about 2 hours. Reading books is a good break from bio. It's driving me nuts. Trying to remember the stages of respiration and photosynthesis and drawing mental links between every topic. Very exhausting. Anyway back to teh book.
     
    The outline of the book is that everything happens for a reason. Everything around you is there for a purpose. What you do and what others do has an impact on you and others whether you know it or not.
     
    So therefore...
     
    EOYs ARE HERE FOR A REASON AND IT'S GOING TO IMPACT YOU WHETHER YOU KNOW IT OR NOT!
     
    Darn i wonder if the author is going to write a book about whether the ABSENCE of something is absent for a reason or not...Sounds like a good book to write about

    1. Roped in Jun Han and Kevin to go play LAN after LA
    2. Decided to go to the LAN shop at tampines cuz Kevin say so, so never go Katong
    3. Keith didn't bring clothes so I went to his house and then we meet at the LAN shop later
    4. While on the bus to Tampines Jun Han sms me saying that Kevin dunwan to play liaoz, so therefore Jun Han doesn't want to play too
    5. Keith and I were WTFing around cuz we were at bedok interchange already...RAH! So left the two of us
    6. Found the LAN shop
    7. BF2 graphics weren't working properly, cannot see the terrain nor people, like a video game in its early stages of production.

    Korean porlem

    ALright, I feel that I shall post sth useful today before I go and study.
     
    The South Korean hostages are back safely and the taleban are 25 million US dollars richer. What are they going to do with their new riches? Train more suicide bombers they said. Alright, let's see what problems and repercussions these koreans have caused. Their country is 25 million poorer, the money could go to helping the poor or building new homes and the taleban 25 million richer, the money will be spent on the destruction of property and loss of life. So a suicide bombing victim can somehow trace the cause back to the 23 south koreans. They should feel guilty as such.
     
    As a christian myself i would like to applaud their efforts in trying to bring the gospel to afganistan. Nevertheless their doings have brought about much tragedy. I have been told that South Korea has banned all missionary work in Afganistan. It is simply too dangerous. If you still decide to go be prepared to make some sacrifices, even your life. I think the Koreans underestimated the taleban. they think that by keeping a low profile (by taking a chartered bus) will ensure their safety. The taleban is a terrorist group, they have their own runners and spies everywhere. Who knows if the man you're evangelising to may be a spy working for the taleban? There were risks involved and these Koreans were not prepared to take the risks.
     
    From the government's perspective, what is 23 missionaries compared to 25 million? No way these koreans are worth 25 million. I think the government did a very kind yet foolish deed by giving in to the taleban's demands. We all know how the act was kind but we may not know why it is foolish. Why should a nation pay for 23 people's mistakes? They failed to anticipate the danger and ended up as hostages. It was a costly decision. If I was a missionary going to Afganistan, I would not expect to return alive, that is the price to pay if you're a missionary. If I was held hostage, kill me and be done with it, although I might be subjected to many horrors before I die. I don't want to be a burden to my country and the international community. Now that the taleban are empowered who knows what they might do? Capture more hostages with even bolder methods with better equipment?
     
    I can only shake my head at the Korean missionaries.
