Eat Spa Love - Getaway to The Lost World of Tambun with the Butterfly Project!

Dear Beautylicious. How are you guys doing? I know its been a while since my last post yaa.. Well, few things happened in my life few weeks ago and it really affects me in and out. So thank god I am now recovering and try to put everything on track. So, in this post I would love to share with you guys something exciting coming up in September 2013.

EAT SPA LOVE ~ Aren’t you tempted enough? Well, Butterfly Project is organizing a Blogger Getaway – to this marveleous place called The Lost World of Tambun, located in Ipoh Perak. OMG!! That’s so exciting. Basically, 30 bloggers will be invited for this getaway for 2 days (From 22 – 23 September 2013). The activities are:-

 The Getaway Project :

- 2-Hour ETS Gold Coach train ride to Ipoh from KL Sentral
- 2D1N stay in Exotic Room with Lunch, Dinner & Halal breakfast
- Entry to the Lost World of Tambun Theme Park
- Entry to the Lost World Hot Springs & Spa by Night

Wow!!!! But first, the usual ritual I need to list down my reason as why, why and why I need this getaway. Before I proceed further, I would like to congrats Butterfly Project SWAT team who managed to convinced Sunway Corporation Group and arrange this GETAWAY to The Lost World of Tambun for their butterflies. Wow – this is a big opportunity for us blogger. Should not put aside!!! Butterfly SWAT TEAM ROCK!!!

      Now, Why I need this outing? Here are my reasons :-)  

     I need a vacation – OMG I seriously need a break in my life. After what happened to me in few weeks back, yup I really need this!!! I wanna enjoy to the fullest with my butterfly colleagues. If I am selected to this outing, this will be my second outing with Butterfly members. I would love to know and mingle more with the Butterflies!!! It is fun to gossip, chatting and sharing with Butterflies who speak in same language. Absolutely!!! Chat more about Beauty Stuff, more Beauty Stuff, Spa etc etc... Furthermore I just got to know that my 6 months advance Krabi plan in coming October is now cancelled. Huhuhu... Thats hurt and my flight ticket burn - totally!!! so sad.. =,( 

2.    I never ride on a ETS train before – Yup that’s rite! I never take a ETS train before. So if I am selected, I got a chance to travel with Electrical Train Services (i.e. ETS) train. Do you know that ever since the double railway tracks were completed sometime in 2012, the ETS train was put in operation for traveler from KL – Ipoh. With the top speed of 156kmh, the journey from KL – Ipoh is only about 2 Hrs (for express service). Wow!! Awesome Possum!!

ETS Train

Spacious Coach. Wow!! - every coach equipped with monitor for passengers to enjoy watching movie during the 2 hrs journey

 3.   Ipoh, Perak (a must place to visit) – “Ipoh mali, Ipoh, Ipoh Mali”. I knew this song sounds familiar eii? For those who originated from Ipoh definitely know this song. Ipoh is not only a heritage attraction place. It is also a food heaven. Have u heard of Nasi Ganja? OMG – that’s seriously addictive. Nasi Ganja basically is like a “Nasi Kandar” type. But its addictive and Yummy!!!

The famous Nasi Ganja Ipoh

As you are aware, most of the hills around Ipoh are surrounded by limestones hills. So, one of the main Ipoh attraction is Limestone Cave Temple. The Temple is located inside the cave. Inside you may gather few unique shapes of mineral forms known as stalagmites and stalactites. The growing stalactites and stalagmites meet each other and form solid pillars inside the cave. Furthermore the presence of impurities gives colours to it and forms such unique arts for us to appreciate. 

4.     The Lost World of Tambun – Yezzaa!!! The main attraction is here!!! Save it for the last. This place has more to offer and yes it’s a must place to go if you travel to Ipoh. It’s a place to chill with your family and friends, far from your KL hectic life. I have heard about this place sometimes ago but never have the chance to go. The Lost World of Tambun is more than a theme park. It consist of Theme Park (with few selections of activities to choose from), Hotel and Spa and actually is a branch of Sunway Lagoon in Kuala Lumpur. Furthermore, it’s the first water theme park in Ipoh!.  

The Lost World of Tambun attracted their visitors with more selections of theme park, hotspring/spa, and more!

Esse Gives Back 2013: Love Our Children Love Our Nature

Dear Beautylicious. Have you ever wonder how the real world is. Real world issues never ending thus affect most of child around the globe. Can you imagine how these children facing the reality everyday (i.e. child abuse, child labour, war, homeless) and live with it. We are blessed as our country (i.e. Malaysia) is safe from war and our government is still able to rule the country in peace. Despite of high cost of living, we are not enforcing our child for labour. Furthermore, a community and society in Malaysia are very active in providing shelter and place for the homeless and unfortunate child.

In conjunction with Ramadhan month i.e. ideal month to give, contribute and share with the unfortunate, Esse Organic Skincare (i.e. an eco-conscious skincare brand promoting a sustainable life) is organising an Art Exhibition. With “Nature” as the theme, the artwork is painted by children aged 16 and below. These paintings came from few countries i.e. Malaysia, Singapore, Myanmar, Hong Kong and South Africa. With “Mother Nature” theme, you would notice that these paintings are more focusing on the beauty of nature and its surroundings. They are taught to be more aware with what we are facing now (i.e. pollution, trees cutting without control, green house, etc) and develop love towards our irreplaceable mother earth. I went thru all the artwork and was amazed with it. They are young and talented. Young Picasso.

These are some of the artworks that amazed me:-

Birds of a Feather, Hannah Steyn, 15, South Africa

Happy Frog, Aaron Lam, 5, Hong Kong

In the World Trees Become Pencil, Alice Lim Sze Yuan, 8

Spring Blossom, Kyra Pope, 15, South Africa

Our feathered friends, Pia Steyn, 12, South Africa

The 12 Days of Winter in My Country, Cynthia, 10, Myanmar

The Only Home, Ellyna Choi Jia Yern, 9

Tree of Dream, Charmaine Ng, 14, Malaysia

Whimsical Tree, Charmaine Ng, 14, Malaysia

Every artworks sold in this event will be donated to SHELTER – Home For Children in Malaysia. 

SHELTER is a registered, voluntary welfare organization for children and teenagers who have been abandoned, neglected, orphaned or abused. Guided by the vision to give children at risk a childhood and future by protecting, guiding and healing them, and by building strong communities and loving families, Shelter’s services and initiatives are aimed at:

i) Providing care for children at risk through our residential homes, counselling, therapy and other services
 

ii)Proactively raising public awareness on child abuse, child protection, parenting and youth issues, and equipping individuals with relevant skills to detect signs of abuse and to take action. 

There are many ways to help these children. One of the ways is by joining this campaign and support these young artists and SHELTER. The event will be hosted as follows:-

The Butterfly Project – Massage & Chillax Party with Amante

Hola Beautylicious!!! We meet again in this post. =)

In my previous post I did mentioned why we need a massage/spa. Thanks a million to The Butterfly Project Community for extending the invitation to me to experience myself massage journey at Amante. This is my first event encounter with The Butterfly Project Community. I really appreciate The Butterfly Community for welcome me to be part of the family. Love you guys!!!  =) 

Little bit info about The Butterfly project; this is a Beauty and Lifestyle Community for Independent Bloggers. The mission is to design monthly blogging project to inspire people. Every month, The Butterfly Project will organize some activities for their members aka butterflies for get to know each other, exchange ideas and at the same time have fun and enjoy the activities provided. Together with them are the collaborators which are; Amante; who sponsored the venue, massage and manicure service, Teaffani High Tea, whom prepared our mini lunch for that day, Ask From Joey, who sponsored lovely dessert and deco theme for the party and last not least; Photobooth who captured all the blogger moments here at Amante.  

The event was held at Amante, Seri Petaling branch. I heard about Amante before and I knew Amante is a great place for chillax. Furthermore, it offers few types of massage services and also pedi-mani. Great place for us who wants to have own time, far from hectic life. I do have a free manicure voucher from May 2013 Bag Of Love but did not have the chance to experience myself. Sob sob. =,(  

Deco Deco by Joey - so green and white =)

I came around 2.30 pm and was warm welcomed by Ayna and Tammy. To be honest I was bit nervous caused it was my first time meeting them. But I was happy and excited at the same time. Tammy and Ayna welcomed me with a BIG SMILE and I feel home. =) Then, they introduced me to the Manager of Amante,  Maggie who later asked me to experience the massage myself.  Big WOW came out from my mouth!!

Amante outlet in Seri Petaling is quite big. They occupied two floors; first floor locates the reception counter, waiting room and mani-pedi room. The upper floor locates rooms for massage services. I love the interior as well. Its so modern yet calming with slow background music. I went to their upper floor and went to one of the massage room. I was attended by Nurul. Nurul performed two types of massage which are i.e. Aromatherapy and their signature, hot stone massage. This is a preview massage, for me to experience and have a feeling and compare these two massages. For Aromatherapy, she used lemon grass essential oil. Aromatherapy massage makes me feel calm and relax. After half an hour, she then proceeded with the hot stone massage. The stones were heated. After reach at certain heat, she then started pressed and ran the warm stones to my body with white oil. The white oil is used to smoothen the process when the stones glide on my skin. This is my first time experience hot stone massage and I love it. It gave me a warm and soothing feeling at the same time.  After that, I experienced complimentary manicure at their mani-pedi room.

Check out little bit of snap-shot on that day:-
