Did you hold down the [fn] key, in combination with the function keys? If not, you have to hold down the [fn] key in combination with pressing the function key's that are associated with the keyboard back-lighting (usually [F3] or [F4] on an ASUS G-series).

G'Day how are we?
The easy fix: Press Fn+F4 together to get it working.
If that doesn't work, another fix that has worked for some people is to remove the battery and start the laptop with AC adapter only.

My guess is that either food or liquid has gotten into the keys causing them not to work. You can try the following:
1) Power the laptop off. Now, cradle the laptop with the screen open in one hand. Carefully flip it over. Now, with the palm of the other hand, lightly bang on the keyboard. This MAY cause any food thats lodged under a key or two to loosen and fall out. Don't get carried away with the banging. Just a couple of good taps all over the keyboard should work, if its going to. When completed, roll the laptop over and power it back up. See if your problem is fixed.
If not solved,
2) Ok, you've got a more serious problem. This will likely require the replacement of the keyboard. If the laptop is older and you don't want the trouble or cost of replacing the laptop, you can usually just purchase a USB keyboard. Plug it into a USB port on the laptop and your problem should be solved.
3) If however the laptop is fairly new, and you want to replace the keyboard, you can either do it yourself (really NOT a huge project) or bring it in and have someone do it for you. If you opt to try to do it yourself, here is a link to a site with step by step instructions to remove the keyboard:

Its not exactly your model, but should be pretty close. Once you get it off, you can then Google 'laptop keyboards' and you'll find dozens of places that will ship you a replacement keyboard in a couple of days. Then just reverse the process to remove it and she should be all set.
No more eating or drinking over the laptop! :-)
Hope this helps!

The keyboard takes a lot of abuse and as durable as it is, they will eventually wear out. It is a very inexpensive part to replace and does not require a lot of skill. The fact that the touch pad is acting up could indicate that they are interconnected. I would replace both. The Touch pad is a more involved part to replace and I would suggest you get some help or pay to have it replaced. You can order them off of sites like eBay, then watch a YouTube video on how to do it. I punched in: ASUS Eee keyboard and got several results like: ASUS Eee touch pad: These are ramdomly selected:
