An Enchanting Unicorn Birthday at the Magical Butterfly Kingdom
Once upon a time, a Happiness Goddess was sent to Earth (to be more specific, Malaysia) to spread happiness and positivity among the people.
Hold on to your seats magical folks as this fairy tale is very long.
The Goddess decided to adapt herself to the human surrounding and thus adopt herself a human name. She named herself Tammy (HelloTammy). By default, every Goddess has her kick-a*s guardian angel and Tammy's is a loving Angel that everyone calls Dee Leonard (Deelicious). In order to spread the love and happiness around the world, together with Dee Leonard, she started to recruit humans, to whom she bestowed with mystical powers of happiness and much love. She lovingly called these beings as her kids and called them the Butterflies. Soon, both of them realised that humans are too reckless to be left alone without guidance. So, in 2013, together they constructed a magical kingdom to nurture them and to distribute missions of love to the Butterflies and named the kingdom as The Butterfly Project.
Me with the mamasan of all magical beings
Fast forward to 5 years later, the Butterfly Project has grown so much and much love has been successfully spread among the people in Malaysia. Being the Mother of all mythical and mystical beings in Malaysia, Tammy is always on her toes to celebrate her Butterflies in the most magical ways known to human.
So, Goddess Tammy commanded the Butterflies to assemble for the 5th Birthday celebration of The Butterfly Project. Come 1 April 2018, Unicorns were seen descended to a specific area in Petaling Jaya to celebrate the birthday anniversary of The Butterfly Project. There were different types of Unicorn that attended the celebration. There were glitter unicorns, huge eyelashes unicorns, colourful unicorns and there are some hybrid ones. But the most magical were the ones without the horns. Yes, a unicorn without its horn is believed to be the most magical of all.
The passcode to the Butterfly Kingdom
As per Asgard, the Butterfly magical kingdom is very protected and requires a special 'passcode' to allow entrance. So, in order to allow the Butterflies turned Unicorns to enter and enjoy the merriment of the birthday, the Goddess and the Angel popped two huge explosive Brrrloons before the entrance was opened to every single Unicorn there.
Owh. Here's a walkway guide around the Butterfly kingdom to ensure that a mystical being will not be lost and arrive at the enchanting castle safely.
Upon entering the kingdom, one will reach the Brrrloon Chamber of Magic. Here, one will cast a spell of magical colors to inflate a magical Brrrloon. Unlike the ordinary balloons, the magical Brrrloons could last up way much longer and it is very much sturdier too. Owh. You can cast personalised spells upon your favorite balloons too, just like the Goddess and the Angel have for the entrance to the kingdom. And you may pass after your balloon is inflated, which is no big deal if you have stayed awake during the Cast A Spell lecture.
Walking past the Brrrloon Chamber of Magic one will be walking through a field of flowers. There are some flowers that are still unknown and nameless to human as they only grow in the Butterfly kingdom. But beware not to wander off too far or you will stumble into the Field of Deadly Flowers. Hehe. Kidding. The field is known as The Field of Everyday Flowers for those magical flowers blossom every day here - no matter what season it is. Whatever flower that you pick, the ever helpful elves in The Field of Everyday Flowers will transform them into a bewitching bouquet fits for a queen/ a king/ a royalty.
The Field of Everyday Flowers is adjacent to The Great Meadow of Mythical Creatures where babies of magical creatures are being raised. You will see babies of Unicorn, Mermaid, Chimera, Thunderbird and such laying around, basking in the sun and just playing around peacefully. I just couldn't help myself but to adopt one cute and daring Unicorn baby and name her Rarity GLAM. Thank you so much to the pixies at the 50 Gram for assisting me in choosing the right baby for me.
Then finally, at the end of the meadow, you will finally arrive at the palace. In order to enter the palace, there will be a final test to ensure you are pure enough to enter the palace. The palace guards, who are known as GNGStudios will place you into a Purifying Chambers. After three clicks of spellbinding flash, then you are allowed to enter the Palace.
So, what do Unicorns and any other mythical beings eat?
Of course, they only eat berries and drink dewdrops and nectars. There were some other human foods too as the Goddess, the Angel and the Butterflies turned Unicorns have now been living with the humans. There were colourful cupcakes, cookies and brownies, delicious drinks, chicken wings and salads too. Not forgetting there was an elegant Unicorn cake, sitting beautifully on a glass table. There was no glass table though hehe.
How was the food?
Everything was enchanting!
So, everybody was chatting with everyone, to reconnect and also to get to know the new friends in the Palace. When it was time to leave, the Goddess gives recognition to the best looking Unicorns among the sea of gorgeous looking Unicorns that attended the party. And I was blessed to be chosen as one of three fierce-looking ones. All three fierce Unicorns received charm bracelets of Trollbeads that enhances our magical powers. With great powers, come great responsibility - so with enhanced magical powers, we will have to do more good and spread more love.
The most fierce of them all
Being a Happiness Goddess that she is, everyone was granted a Box of Magical Gifts that will intensify the level of happiness of each and every Butterfly turned Unicorn. What's inside the Box of Magical Gifts you asked?
1) Belif Bestsellers On The Go @ RM89
Believe it or not, I have yet to try belif. And now, Mamasan Tammy granted my wish and I have these amazing travel size packs, waiting for me to try them out. Here are the links for the travel pack and other belif products, as per available on belif Malaysia stores.
I am waiting for the day to come for me to try this beautiful Chiffon Nude. My beauty blogger friends swore their eyes upon Koji's falsies so, please watch for this space for my sharing about the falsies. Koji's falsies are available in Watsons and Sasa Malaysia.
I will be trying this Japan's hair care samples so just watch out for my sharing soon. Owh. You don't have to go to Japan to buy them as they are available in Watsons and Sasa Malaysia too.
I am a NYX crazy fans and I bought almost everything on the shelf, on sight! So, when I received the beautiful bright colour of Vivid Brights Eyeliner (Blossom) and #LOTD Lip of The Day (Cherished), I was ecstatic! Thank you Mamasan for the wish granted again!
Oh my gawd! Why do Wanderlust Things have so many magical items on their site? If you are a magical items hunter, just head on there and you will be spoilt for choices!
Thanks mamasan Tammy for the beautiful make up brush - it completes my magical brush set.
All in all, it was such magical, enchanting, miraculous and fantastical journey, all the way from my preparing my transition from a Butterfly to being a Unicorn, attending the enchanted 5th Birthday Party, being bestowed among the lucky Unicorns but the best magic spell was spending time with fellow magical beings.
Everyone struggles with skin problems at one time or another, some might have them longer than the others (pointing at me).
So, I have been trying quite a few skincare products available online. Also, I have to mention that I have been trying out the traditional ones - as per strongly suggested by my mum, my aunties and cousins too.
And there were some success stories but as time and age catches on, I want a skincare regime and routine that wouldn't take too much of my time - and then works. But hey, nothing worth having comes easy right?
As you all know, I am an avid Althea-shopper and I have managed to rope in a few other Altheatics (Althea fanatics) to shop together because as Rupaul says 'the family that shops together, stays together'. Haha. We keep each other posted on whenever new products appears on Althea's website.
When Althea launches its latest magical creation - aptly named Bare Essentials - I was among the first to get my hands on the magical elixir. And I am still so thankful that Bare Essentials has only three items in the set - I want a simple and straight-forward skincare that works! I was so happy that it has pretty travel-friendly freebies too! Althea is just so thoughtful and always think of everything! Within the amazing pink Althea box, I received these amazing creations:
Or will it contour my jawline and cheekbone whenever I cleanse my face?
It is actually a cleanser that is densely filled with microcapsules that burst upon contact with water to gently cleanse, exfoliate and detoxify skin. The Contour Cleanser helps to promote blood circulation and reduces bloating and swelling for a defined, enviably slim face shape.
Does it work? My face feels cool and looks cleansed and refreshed everytime I use it - am super loving that effect.
Does it really contour? Well, I think it does, although not as prominent as I want it to be. Well, I also do not expect to have a perfectly V-shaped face just after two weeks of using it.
2) Primer Water (200 ml) | RM43.00
And here is another product that couldn't decide on what it is supposed to be.
A primer?
A toner?
As per its name Bare Essentials, Primer Water combines both into one bottle so that we should have only the essential skincare regime and drop the non-essential. The Primer Water contains patented dewdrop technology (Macro Fluidic Dispersion technology) that gently fills the gaps between pores and allows hydration to penetrate deep within the layers of the skin.
On one occasion where I have to make my face up (putting lots of makeup items - eyeshadows, foundation etc), I applied the Primer Water before putting on anything else and the makeup stays put throughout the event and when I cleanses my face afterwards, it literally cleanses every single item that I put on my face. So, yes, it does wonder as a primer on my skin as it prepares and plumps my skin to perfection for products to come.
3) Fixer Cream (50 g) | RM 50.00
Just what will it fix, I wonder? Opening the bottle and applying it onto my face, I feel like I am jumping into water, every single time. The cream is highly moisturizing and I hit the jackpot with this as I have dry skin.
The secret behind the high moisture of the Fixer Cream? It harnesses the power of Trehalose, an ingredient found in the cactus plant that prevents its moisture loss.
Psst. It also rich in antioxidants derived from Camellia sinensis (green tea) seed oil and helps to promote collagen regeneration using Baobab Tree extracts.
It fixes my skin dryness and keeps it hydrated throughout the day. And I am super happy about it!
My T About The Bare Essentials
It helps to shorten the skincare regime for the on-the-go person
It hydrates the skin for a long time
It is lightweight too
If a 20 plus something guy (yes, I am 20+++++++++ years old) with dry skin problems and always in a hurry vouches for Bare Essentials, you should not worry about trying it out too.
What is the scariest thing that could happen to anyone nowadays, no matter when and where?
Haunted by an angry ghost? You're wrong!
Lost your IC when GE is just around the corner? Well, maybe but this one is scarier!
When you are eating at a beautifully decorated restaurant/ cafe and the dishes coming out the kitchen looking so fine and your smartphone battery is blinking red just like Ultraman when he is significantly weakened or injured, that is one scary moment! Very scary!
And yes, this has happened to me, quite a few times, in fact.
I was being too lazy/ tired to bring my big old powerbank and because of old age, I forgot to bring the USB and the plug too. And there were times when I brought the USB but not the head plug. So, I will be going around, asking for battery-mercy from fellow friends.
Recently, the same thing happened to me, again.
I was devastated as I heard that I will be reviewing some epic looking and tasty food in a well-known restaurant in Nilai. Arriving at the restaurant, I realised that the cafe's logo and name looks familiar.
The interior of Ezietech Cafe
Phone accessories and charging stations
Then, I realised that I have seen the logo and the name on some telco and phone accessories stalls in the arrival halls in KLIA and KLIA 2.
"Wow. The owner now opens a cafe too. Creative!" I thought to myself but still feeling down that my smartphone's battery was about to die on me.
Entering the cafe, I was astonished to learn that the cafe actually combines a telco store, phone accessories store and a cafe in one space. And to my delight, Ezietech Cafe provides free charging station for its diners too. And here is the best thing about the charging station - they even have all the cables and plugs for all types of smartphones too - may it be your USB is C-type or an Apple - they have it all ready in the cafe. Thank God for Ezietech Cafe and the charging stations.
While charging my phone, I talked to the owner and I learnt a fact about Ezietech Cafe. Ezietech Cafe Nilai is actually the go-to place for people, from near and far, to have their cravings for durian quenched as the durian supply never ends at Ezietech Cafe. If you are a durian-lover, just follow Ezietech Cafe on its IG and always be updated on the durian supply here.
When the foods started to roll in, I instantly know the reason Ezietech Cafe being so well known. It is because of its epic beauty and eye-catching presentations of the food. Just have a look at all these marvellous and fantasy-looking food.
The patty in all the burgers are very juicy and yes, they are hand and home-made. And believe me when I say, you will be full with just one serving of the burgers. The burgers set come with a side dish of fries and a drink. The signature of Ezietech Cafe that instead of using a burger bun, they are using waffles to replace the bun and the color of the bun changes weekly. So, you might find the waffles might be blue, pink or any other color, depending on the week.
Oh, the blue sauce is just the blue-colored mayonnaise.
Not a fan of burgers?
You want rice?
Or you want pasta?
Fret not, there are also rice dishes and spaghetti for you too.
The sauce on all the burgers, the rice and the pasta dishes are also homemade too.
And it is delicious - just adds to the taste of every single dish.
For the kids, one may opt for these dishes instead - the wedges, the meatballs or Roti John.
I particularly fell in love with the Roti John as it was huge and meaty.
Wait! Didn't I say something about Ezietech Cafe being the go-to place to have durians?
Of course, I save the best for last, especially for all the durian-fanatics.
Here at Ezietech Cafe, one may get to eat Cendol with different varieties of toppings from the Duren Bar.
The toppings are of your choice - with or without durian - so for non-durian cendol lovers, you can still enjoy other toppings with your cendol too.
You should visit Ezietech Cafe for all the marvellous dishes mentioned above.
Or you could just come for the durian alone - as they sell durian too.
Just ask at the counter and you will be served with the durian of your choice.
And after all those deliciously epic burgers and durian, have a sip of coffee.
Just chill with the coffee of your choice and talk about everything and nothing.
