Butterfly Coachella Unity Celebration 2019 | Butterfly Project Malaysia

On 28 September 2019, Butterfly Project Malaysia held a Butterfly Coachella Party at Hearty Party Malaysia in Setia Alam, this is the biggest event that they ever held so far (I believe there will be more to come in future). This is a party to celebrate unity and tighten the community bond among us!

For those who don't know what is Butterfly Project, they are actually a non-profit community for beauty and lifestyle bloggers in Malaysia (but now they also expand the community to instagrammers, youtubers, reviewers). 

Okay back to the story, I'm so thankful that Mamasan Tammy accepted me to the community (been joining since December 2018) and invited me to this big event full of love, acceptance, and unite us in this community event!

At the registration counter, there were some limited set of bracelets for everyone to buy, they are special on their own. I wish I can buy a set for me, but I've to watch my money spending (hahaha, life is tough).

So when I registered at the counter, they gave me this cute and pretty tag with sunset colours before I started my fun activities here.

At the back of it has all the brands that participated in Butterfly Coachella. Don't worry I'll mention them, keep on reading. :p

I also met this cutie big bear everywhere here (lowkey want to bring this one home because it is sooooo cute).

'Hey, Mr Teddy, wanna be mine?'

On the ground floor (the same floor we registered our names), there's a photo booth Tag Booth for us to take pictures and bring them home!

They also kind enough to sent me the soft copy of the photo I took! By the way, I can edit the photo too, but I only choose a sticker to add on to my solo picture.

On the second floor, THIS WAS WHERE ALL THE FUN REALLY BEGAN! hahaha

Because it's where the Pop-Up Carnival Booths were!

When I entered the second floor, first thing I saw is Althea especially with all the teddy bears around (they just caught my eyes okay :p)

Althea has just launched their new Brow Wow Eye Brow Pencil in three shades, I was so excited about this so I gave more attention to this side. 

The shades are: 01 Grey Brown, 02 Dark Brown, 03 Soft Brown.

And here was me, with my Althea Box. :p

Then there's a  Curmudgeon's Brew booth, where I got my cold brew coffee and chocolate drink. I chose Vanilla flavour coffee. There were a few flavor like Peanut and Mocha flavors.

I love the Vanilla coffee! The flavor is just nice, not too bitter, not too sweet, just nice.

Then there was this pretty booth full of flowers, Avantgarde Blooms Flowers, the flowers are all pretty, and I got one for myself.

In a garden full of flowers (including me) ;p

One of the Pop-Up Carnival Booth is the healthy snacks booth; Signature Market.

I love the Healthy Mixed Nuts, I got three of them. I shared one with my family, and the other two I ate them all by myself. 

Voir Gallery booth is in the room, and I super love the way they displayed their bags! I felt like I was in the fashion show room. They really impressed me by their setup and everything.

I honestly think I'm a model or something hahaha. It was fun tbh.

BAE:

Before Anyone Else

(love this!)

(this is just a pose, don't worry I won't sing ;p)

So these were all in the second floor, I got to made new friends here, stumble to some people that I only knew from Instagram, chit-chatting with each other. I got to experience many experience, and on how to not be shy and said hi to some new friends.

All of Us actually spent around two hours in this second floor alone. It was like we were having fun and get to know new brands and products here.

Around 6pm, finally it's dinner time!

I was so thirsty at this point. 

So when I got to the rooftop where the foods and drinks were, also where we will watched a perfomance from Sidh Haizad Yusoff.

I was just so thankful the first thing I saw was, Lérz' Tea & Coffee Fruit Tea. I was like "OMG, that Looks so yummy!"

There were two fruit teas flavors, and I got the chance to tried both!

My favourite is The Citrus Iced Tea.

When it comes about food, Mamasan always know what to choose. I love all food, they were in small portions but variety in choices, healthy, and delicious too!

The food is from JomParty caterer. 

And my favourtie part of the food, is of course the desserts!

They are all sooooooo good!

I love how the place looks like I'm having picnic:

I felt so relax and at peace.

So before Sidh Haizad Yusoff started singing, I thought maybe it"s the for me to crush and sing my frog voice to everyone:

*kidding, I promise I won't sing ;p

I just want to be angel :p*

So around 7.30pm, it was raining a bit, not heavy, just drizzle of rains.

I can't move on from his beautiful voice. Sidh Haizad Yusoff really sang beautifully. No wonder Mamasan Tammy wanted him to sing on this party. I remember the moment so vividly.

It's nice and beautiful.

At 8.15pm, I joined the painting party. And I had fun with it. At first, I thought I didn't want to join. But I think, this is gonna be a memorable memories for me. 

And oh boy, I did had fun. I loved the experience!

The painting party or we can also called it as Artsy Party organized by Hearty Party. 

*Look at how focus I was :p*

Tadaaa~

My orange art.

A great experience for me. I was a bit nervous, because it had been so long I did not hold any painting brushes. And I felt great when I did this again.

What Did I Get From This Butterfly Coachella?

Acceptance.

You know that I am actually not used to this kind of party, the parties that I've joined before, always had faces that I know (like my family and friends).

This party was a big party in my opinion. And here what we got is love, acceptance, and yes unity.

Here, we don't care about your races, religions, or anything else. I gained many new friends here. And I'm happy.

I love this for myself. To learn and to grow and to make new friends.

Thank you so much Mamasan for giving me this opportunity to join this Butterfly Coachella Unity Celebration. This means a lot to me. I had fun and I had a blast here.

Thank you so much. Thank you.

And......

of course I got goodies here hahahaha.

If you want to see one by one goodies that I got, I pinned my unboxing in Zehan Ilyana, so you can watched my spontaneous reactions as well.

Guys, this post will we be the starting point where Zehan starts blogging again. 

I have mixed feelings. But it feels great to start to write about moments I don't want to forget.

Thank you for reading.

And thank you for all these Party Collaborators, without you guys the fun would not be this great.

How I Do My Quran Tagging

Assalamualaikum and hi everyone.

I’ve received many questions about my quran translation and the tagging I made.
So I tried to answer what I know and how I did mine in this post.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🥀The Quran:
I’m using Quran Translation in English from Darul Iman. This one is I bought from Malaysian publisher in PBAKL. The size is A5 if I’m not mistaken. And I will do it in Malay translation too insyaa Allah, once I finish this english translation.

🥀Inspired By;
First, I was inspired by sister Zaufishan who made her quran journey in her blog. I found her blog when I first thinking and googling on how do I read the translation and what should I find in this and many more. Then I was also inspired by sis Ayesha Shahira.
And now I found many who do Quran tagging and journaling that I really love like sister Faakihah, sister Mariam Poppins, and so many more.
You can find more sisters who have been in this Quran journey easily in this hashtag #quranjournaling 💖


🥀The Kits:
The flag tags you can easily find it at Popular bookstore or any bookstore or stationery shop. I bought some from Daiso and Mr DIY too.
And I bought all my highlighters from Popular bookstore. I love Stabilo and Zebra Midliners highlighters. Been collecting them. Teehee~

🥀How To Do It:
I read ayah by ayah, and if I don’t understand some of them I will seek the translation or asked people with knowledge about it. And I also have another english translation of Quran that made it more easy to understand because of the words they used. And will find or ask others about some ayah.
Honestly, it's a long process and it's a long journey. You need to make time for this.♥️

🥀What Did I Highlight:
Ayat that give me meaning, the purpose I am living, the answers I found for question I have or the argument most people argue in the internet, the du’a, our vows, Allah promises, about Allah and everything I found interesting.

🥀The Colours:
Pink: our vows/submission, purpose.
Purple: fardhu (prayer, zakat)
Dark Blue: rewards
Orange: du’a
Green: Allah knows
Yellow: do good, be good, believe
Red: Allah says about Himself
Grey: everything about Allah powers
Light Blue: things I found interesting

🥀The Time:
I don't have any specific time. But usually I did it in the morning or after zuhur. And sometimes before maghrib too. Or honestly, I just do when I feel like it. hehe.

🥀Where:
Usually I do it on my study desk. But I do sometimes do it in a coffee shop.
I know this post is lacking in many ways but I do hope this post can help you guys to have an idea on how to do it, and you can improve this on your own way too.
I do admit I have so many things I need to improve, and insya Allah will improve more in the future!

Kembali Menulis di Blog Ini

Assalamualaikum dan hai,

Masih ingat saya?
hahaha. This is weirdddd~ (sounds like Miss M)

Seperti biasa. setiap tahun saya selalu sahaja berkata saya akan kembali menulis, kembali berblogging, kembali bercerita, kembali berkongsi, namun tiada lagi kekuatan untuk saya meluahkan perasaan ketika seperti zaman 2011-2013, mahu melepaskan semua cerita-cerita saya.

Saya akan kembali menulis disini, kali ini dengan azam dan izin Tuhan hendaknya, ianya adalah suatu komitmen yang akan saya berikan jika saya tidak malas dan tiadalah aral melintang-pukang di hadapan saya. Sebenarnya saya masih tidak tahu kemanakah arah tuju blog ini. Tetapi izinkan saya bermula di entry ini.

Dan akan menggunakan bahasa Melayu dan juga bahasa rojak, dan bahasa Inggeris. Saya akan meletakkan masing-masing ditempatnya.

Dan ya, saya akan berhenti membahasakan 'aku' di blog ini, kerana pada masa itu saya hanya ingin menjadi seseorang yang bukannya saya. Saya ingin lari dari imej yang saya pegang sebelum ini.
Dan kali ini, saya kembali dengan imej separuh dari realiti saya. (tapikan in real life jarang juga menggunakan saya, saya selalu guna i-you, atau kita-awak, tapi nak guna kita-awak dah macam kembali di zaman sekolah pula yedok?).

Setelah sekian lama, saya baru sahaja mempunyai kekuatan untuk me-revert-kan semua entries lama saya, biarlah semua cerita-cerita saya berkubur di dalam draft. Biarlah cerita-cerita saya yang sebelum ini telah anda baca dan mungkin ada yang simpati atau mungkin juga menangis (yeke?), berkubur bersama di celahan ingatan yang makin dilupakan. Marilah anda bersama saya (entah siapalah yang masih baca ni woi), kita move on dari kisah-kisah sedih.
Marilah kita berkongsi cerita-cerita bahagia kehidupan single saya. (ya, saya masih seperti dulu, single dan tiada sedikit ura-ura mahu berkahwin).

Tapi entry yang tiada kena mengena dengan kisah hidup dan peribadi saya, akan saya teruskan dalam blog ini. Nak kena tapislah nampaknya. haha

Marilah melupakan Miss M, Adik, dan Teenager Housemaid. Marilah kita mendoakan agar mereka tenang di dalam simpanan ingatan saya, dan biarlah mereka tidak muncul lagi. Kerana dengan kemunculan mereka, hanya kesedihan yang akan menyelubungi.

Jika bahasa saya sungguh puitis di bacaan anda, sila undi saya untuk menjadi biduanita negara. Eh, maksud saya, sasterawan negara.
Okay, okay, saya tahu saya tidak layak. Sekurang-kurangnya bagilah saya gelaran pelawak. Tapi itulah, saya seorang yang sangat serius dalam hidup.

Beginilah catatan pertama saya, setelah lama meninggalkan blog bersejarah yang pernah membuat saya menangis didepan laptop, ketawa, dan bersemangat kerana semua pembaca yang menyokong (dah perasan retis dah ni).

Walaupun saya telah kehilangan jumlah yang agak besar followers saya, tetapi terima kasih kepada 909 yang masih setia disisi saya.

Sayangilah saya seadanya HAHAHAHAHA

Dahlah tu, saya tak ada idea sebenarnya ini.
Saya akan kembali dengan catatan-catatan yang lebih meletihkan anda untuk membacanya.

Kasih,
Zehan Ilyana
