THE ARK ACADEMY

ALOHA Readers! :)

It's a saturday morning! and it's the opening ceremony of THE ARK ACADEMY !

I wanted to do something for their opening ceremony, just something simple to celebrate their big day.

and after getting good feedback from my bf ( I guess he's my one and only cookie fan, haha.) , I've decided to bake some cookies again to their studio! Hehehe.

Remember the last post about the awesome oatmeal cookies recipe?

Finally I'm gonna work it baby!! :D

and this time I'm baking double portion, which is quite a lot. I baked the cookies one day before their ceremony and I used almost 5 hours to finish everything! IT WAS SO TIRING! Especially the part where you have to place the cookie dough on the tray just by making sure each and every one of it looks in shaped, the perfect round that everyone loves. And it's just not possible to do it in such a short time frame T___T I don't want them to look like dog poo poo again :(( haha!

Anyway I didn't take any photos of the baking process this time, but here is the outcome of it ! :)

I placed them in an abandoned basket found at my home, repackaged it with ribbons and colourful gift papers.

Lookie lookie~~

TADAAAAAAAAAAA!! :D

Advertising for www.mirumiru.my as well. :P

My honey Zicky loves the smell of it! :P

Takes a bite...

YUMS! 

My number one cookie fan. hahaha

Forced him to snap photo with me with the cookie.

So happy that the feedbacks were pretty good!

Some of them said the whole packaging was really pretty, cookies smelt good, tasted good, great desserts etc..

And some of their feedbacks were like, "WHAT?! Emily baked this??! It's impossible.."

Sigh, why am I not surprised with their feedbacks at all? hahahahaha. Cos I couldn't even convince myself that I can finally bake too. haha ! I'm just so touched T____T

 Studio fully packed with newbies registering for their music instrument and dance courses..

FOC receptionist. Aherm. :P

My lovely Pui Pui :P

Love it! :D

Start jamming already. Haha.

Our treasure in CYC, David Ooi the PROoooooo ;)

Later on all of us went into the dance room and waiting for some random performances presented by the dancers! So cool! I adore the dance room so so much.

LADIESSSSS :)

Mr. Katoon, the popping King, Kelvin! Super cool moves.

Another treasure in CYC, Bryant Wong! great guy, great dancer.

I love his Kpop moves. It's like he's potraying a story :)

Mr Katoon again! So cool laaaa. And I feel so bad for skipping his classes every time T___T

After viewing all their performances seriously made me feel like taking up dance classes again. I mean, you can literally see their passion towards dancing through their eyes. I'm proud of all of them. :)

Anyway, I'll be taking up the piano classes offered in THE ARK ACADEMY too! Planning to get it started next month. Hehe. I'm so excited! This has been my dream for years. :)

Anyway if anyone of you are interested in taking up any dance classes, music instrument classes for eg drums, guitar, piano, vocal classes etc, do not hesitate to ask me and also support them in Facebook! :)

Here's their Facebook page

I'm a happy woman today! ^____________^

The difference between Encouraging and Pressuring

A gentle reminder to the leaders:-

I knew a woman who was trying to encourage her husband and would always say, "You are going to make a million dollars!" Although she was trying to speak faith into his heart and encourage him, day after day, those words felt like pressure to him. She completely put the burden of success on his shoulders, and he was overwhelmed with the heavy load. What was supposed to be a deposit into his life ended up being a withdrawal.

In my relationship with Joel, I've found that if I'm going to encourage him that we can do something in particular in our lives, I have to be right there with him, shouldering the load and willing to do my part. If we had a financial goal, I did my part to save money. If we were remodeling a house, I was in the yard laying sod. If we were building a home, I was there every day to meet the subcontractors and help keep us on schedule. And when he became pastor of the church, I did my part in the service, too. Joel and I are a team, and the best way to show that I support him is by rolling up my sleeves right along with him.

Scripture says that faith without works is dead. If you are supporting your loved ones with your words, support them with your actions, too. Let them know you are walking along side them to see the goal fulfilled. Don't just pressure them to do it, empower them to do it! When you step out and invest in others with your words and your actions, you are sowing good seed and opening the door for others to do the same for you!

Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their work(Ecclesiastes 4:9, NIV).

OATMEAL COOKIE :)))

HELLO READERS! :)

The other day I decided to bake cookies again after 2174583465839days of not touching the oven 

in my house. Hahaha. Now that I remember I used to bake quite a lot back then. and I couldn't remember any bit of it at all now. :(( huhu. My baking skills are rotting.

Anyway! the mood comes and here are the photos! :)

Oh and, My sis baked this cookie before. She found the recipe online and the outcome is FANTASTIC. And guess what? She steps into the kitchen like twice a year. or make it thrice. hahahaha.  But the cookies were superB delicious! How is that possible? Arghhhh :P

So I've decided to try out to prove that I can work well with the kitchen tooooooo! *smirk* Haha!  

So right here is the ingredients that I used, bought it from a baking store nearby my house.

The supercool multi-task Magimix.

Starting by beating up the butter and sugar

Beat them up until you get the creamy and smooth kind of texture

Add in the eggs, Vanila extract..

Here comes the flour!

Mmhmmmm.. love the texture! even though I thought the mixture was a little too dilute.

I forgot to take some of the photos where I added in the rolled Oats, raisins and choco cookies! Just throw all of them altogether and you'll get yourself a cookie dough. Just place them on a tray with hahaha. I made it sound very simple, and it was really simple! 

Here comes the oven. Preheat oven to around 180degrees and bake them for around 20minutes time. 

You can tell when it's done. The cookies are done when they looked golden brown around the edges but still al little soft in the centers.

 Here I present to you..................

EMILY'S HOMEMADE OATMEAL RAISIN/CHOCO CHIP COOKIES!!!

Hehehehehe. I'm so proud of myself! After 23564938569359days of not baking, I was still able to bake!

Not perfect I know but at least they were all edible! Hehehe! :D

I thought they were a little over baked as the cookie's surface was starting to get a little brown-ish rather than golden-ish. It was supposed to be soft inside and and crunchy on the edges but it turned out to be really hard and crunchy.

I given out some of it to my friends, and some of them said the cookies looked like dog poo poo at the first sight -.-

But the flavours were delicious! I'm glad that I've got it covered. hahaha.

However some of them also commented that it was a little too hard which I totally agree since I over baked it. Overall I was still happy with it at least the 3 hours spent in kitchen didn't go wasted! Heh :) I'm so gonna try other new recipes next time! Wait for it, okay? :)

Drama Shooting

GOOD DAY Everyone !

I had a super tiring day last two days..
It was my first time shooting in a drama and I was strangely calm throughout the whole shooting. People who know me well acknowledge the fact that I get nervous easily. It was nerve-wrecking on the day before but still everything went well without my expectations! I mean I was SO STRANGELY CALM......... SO WEIRD.
But the whole thing went well and I'm sooooo happy for that!! ^_______^

It felt like God was just right beside me throughout the entire shooting.. I mean literally!
The fact that I got the casting was out of my expectations too! They production team actually called me like 2 days before and asked if I could fit my time in. So without second thought I said yes should be okay and that's all. hahaha. slumber saje.

Anywayyyyyy, the drama is called 飞跃阳光. It will be aired in November.. I'm not sure whether it will be on 8tV or Ntv7 but it's a local drama anyway. I was playing the female leading role's best friend, 芳芳. My role wasn't that heavy just around 8 scenes in the entire drama but I'm very satisfied for the opportunity to learn and experience. Now I know how tiring it is to shoot from morning till night and my role wasn't even heavy! @___@ I'm so not used to it.
The female main role was played by 罗忆诗

A really adorable girl and she's full of energy! haha. She's a singer, emcee, actress, etc etc. A really talented lady!

The male leading actor is 辛威廉

I'm sure all of you recognize his face, he's always appearing in local TV dramas! He's very friendly and nice to be around. He even treated everyone 100plus!

Just wanna say I love youuuuu! Heavenly Daddy! ^_______^ <3
