Sleepover January.

So a few weeks ago we had a sleepover. It was unexpected but I guess unexpected things are better that having a normal expected life. I haven't seen them in such a long time and it was great catching up with them. We all have different schedules so it's usually hard to find a time that suits us all but I guess you always make time for people you care the most. We decided to have a massive foodtrip and movie night as you can see from the pictures. There were also some "deep" conversations and laughtrip moments and those reasons not captured on camera is the reason why they're my friends.

 Love you guys :)

P.S. if you're ever looking for a really funny, comedic movie I would recommend.

Youtube 50 Week Cover Project #1

50 Week Cover Project: Week #1.Praise Mashup

Finally I have started my first week of my "50 Week Cover Project". I started this because it is my New Year's Resolution for 2013. Starting from this week until the last day of this year I'll be making covers which will feature my skills and talents (?) hahaha. Or maybe improve my talents. This project is just a personal thing for me as I wanted to develop my own abilities. "After all, if you have a talent why not share it?" 

For this week, I had time off after my dreadful college exams and I started to focus on the things I wanted to do on this 50 Week Cover project. I wrote down a lot of things. A LOT. & I didn't know where to start. I began to ask myself and as I was listening to a Kari Jobe song "The More I seek You, the More I find You" I knew I had to do a cover of it. I started learning the song quite quickly and then began to get a bit more creative with it and adding various other songs which were " Open My Eyes", "Beautiful One" and "Heart of Worship". . .

I did this cover on the morning and had only one take so I know it's not the best camera quality but hey, I made it. In the next week I'm planning to do some funky piano things, .maybe some collaborations with people, singing covers and cooking tutorials so Stay Tuned. God bless.

Inspiration #1 Bob Marley

This post is dedicated to my reggae  music idol Bob Marley. He was a revolutionary man who created legendary music. I admired him ever since I was little because of how his music could make me instantly happy.I remember dancing to his music all the time. My favourites were the classic "Don't Worry Be Happy", "Jammin'" and "Get Up, Stand Up". Although many people call him just a "weed smoker" or a "junkie", to me he was a man who truly had a God given talent. He had a rare ability to put a smile on anyone's face when they listen to his music- it was almost like you were high with him. He was also a wise man who said many true and inspirational things. I have a poster hanging on my bedroom wall just because I think what he said was definitely true "One good thing about music, it that when you feel it, you feel no pain". I have also admired his dedication in his work. An interview with Gil Noble (link below) shows that he had always aspired to a musician ever since he was little. He dreamed that he would become a famous musician when he was just a child and he pursued it. That is one of his many great qualities that I adored: his commitment and dedication. I hope to one day pursue my dream in life ( secret).

 I pay great respect to this man. May you Rest in Peace.

Highlights of last year 2 0 1 2 ❤

Hooray! I have finally had the chance of updating my blog. I know I haven't updated this since last August but I have been genuinely busy. Last September I started college so that was pretty hectic, went to Italy with my fambam and during the last few months of 2012 I was flooded with exams, practicing piano, preparing my 18th birthday and then it was Christmas&New Year.

However, I have to say that last year 2012 has been an amazing journey for me. I have made new friends and have gained extraordinary memories. I have also learnt so much on this year. I learnt to always be early in your flight; at least two hours early, too not procrastinate on doing something and to be much more organised.

I want  thank God for giving me wonderful blessing this year as he got me into a great university, National University of Ireland in Maynooth, blessed me with new friends, made me try out new experiences and visit various places, ticked off five things in my bucket list and set up an asian store in our house.

This year I want to make much more memories and stay committed to my New Year's Resolution; The 50 week cover project of which I'll share my talents.

For now I want to share with some of the random shots during the past year in no particular order.

Cooking Take 3 - Peanut butter Bears

Lately I have been busy as I had begun my Semester Two of college. However, I will not break my resolution of updating my blog and so here's a post for you.
As you all know, I am quite a creative person and I love to cook and bake food. Yesterday I made these amazing peanut butter bears. My mother bought me a Cooking Book yesterday "Easy Peasy: Cooking with Kids" by Annabel Karmel. It's quite funny I know but it's a great book if you want to learn how to cook simple everyday food.I would definitely recommend this book if you have young children who want to learn how to cook or bake. I have posted the recipe underneath. Enjoy and Bon Appetite!

Here's the recipe for the Peanut Bears "Great for Teddy Bear's picnic, teatime or a birthday party"

You will need
40g Rice Krispies
75g icing sugar
2tbsp Sesame Seeds
100g smooth peanut butter
40g unsalted butter

To decorate
6 chocolate buttons
Mini M&Ms
Black writing Icing

For the decoration part I had to improvise with pistachios and Smarties but anything will do as long as it looks like teddy bears in the end.
