The Kongsi Home Project is a collaboration between Maxis, Epic Homes, and Malaysia’s biggest online retailers. We want to transform Malaysian e-commerce, into e-charity.

This New Year, you can help a needy family by shopping for yours. How?

I've stumbled the worst and the best wehsite for skin care , makeup, fashion and home improvement necessaties. How ever I will not share which is worst cause I believe that everyone deserve a chance to mend their mistakes or service.

These top 5 are based on my judgement as these are my go-to prefered webpage. I acknowledged the competency, efficieny and timeliness. I just love their service cause my orders always arrive on time and the after service are just professional.

Ohh, I love the fact that some of them has offers that I could not resist. Sometimes instead of 1 item, I end up purchasing more than that.

Whenever I put makeup on my face, it'll looked like I have slapped cooking oil after 2 hours upon applying. I want to look pwetty sometimes as I rarely put makeup on except special occasions. 

So when I saw Innesfree on Hermo Malaysia and ON DISCOUNT, I took my debit card out and instantly purchased it. I received my order 2 days. So fast lor...

I pat the powder after I put on my UV moisturizer as I have yet to test it with makeup. After 2 hours, no, it doesn't look like I have cooking oil on my face, but it looked like baby's bump. I meant smooth okay. It felt velvety. The powder doesn't contain any smell and it was so fine. Your face doesn't look caked when applied.

 Innisfree was actually my first Korean beauty product. I have many friends using Korean stuff but you know la, me being me.

I told Juan that I'm gonna change my skincare to Korean based products too in stages. 

He replied "Habisla, there goes my money". 

I told him "I thought making sure your wife stays pretty is part of your tanggunjawab?"

"Win liao lor"

I don't deny that what you heard and see about India on TV are true. But behind those things, India is a unique and perhaps a systematic city. Their system maybe old but they work in their own way.

Pigs hanging out by the road side

Extreme pollution

Continuous honking on the road

Donkeys, cows, dogs and horses around the city

Extreme driving

Extremely dirty street

*This post contains scenes that some viewers may find disturbing.

The city is filled with animals roaming around the street. When I say animals, expect to see pigs and dogs. Definitely not the average animals you can find on the streets of Malaysia. Certain places you can even spot horses and donkeys. However, the animals you see on the streets of India are majority tame unlike some that you see in our country.

India, officially the Republic of India (Bhārat Gaṇarājya),is a country in South Asia. It is the seventh-largest country by area, the second-most populous country with over 1.2 billion people, and the most populous democracy in the world. Bounded by the Indian Ocean on the south, the Arabian Sea on the south-west, and the Bay of Bengal on the south-east, it shares land borders with Pakistan to the west; China, Nepal, and Bhutan to the north-east; and Burma and Bangladesh to the east. In the Indian Ocean, India is in the vicinity of Sri Lanka and the Maldives; in addition, India's Andaman and Nicobar Islands share a maritime border with Thailand and Indonesia.

 India became an independent nation in 1947 after a struggle for independence that was marked by non-violent resistance led by Mahatma Gandhi.

 India is a pluralistic, multilingual, and a multi-ethnic society. It is also home to a diversity of wildlife in a variety of protected habitats.

A few tips that I pick up along the way:

1. For Muslims, advisable to bring a bottle or a bar of sabun sertu.

2. Wear shoes at all the time because most places are dusty and some parts are muddy.

3. Bring a face mask because the air is heavily polluted especially in Agra.

4. Tuk-tuk price is negotiable. Ask the hotel staff on the average price before calling for a for tuk-tuk because some tuk-tuk driver might charge you at high price.

5. If you're lost, don't panic. Ask the local who looked well dressed.

6. Not all local speaks English. If this happen, use word and body language. They'll be able to understand. Speak one by word in a slow manner.

7. Do not consume their road side food as they're mostly unhygienic.

8. Try not to take taxi unless if it is necessary. Taking tuk-tuk will enable you to see a clear picture of how India real thing is.

9. Don't travel alone. Bring along a partner or a friend. A group of 4 will be a nice number.

10. I also noticed that the locals are more interested in Asians compare to the whites, so try to dress down when you travel and avoid bright colors.

Since this is my first post on our journey to India, let me start with how did this trip came up.

It all started with a 'ping' notification on my Facebook. I checked. It was from Dianah, my sister. It was a reply to my question, whether she'll be coming back to Malaysia for her upcoming semester break. Not sure, was her reply. She then changed the topic into persuading me to visit India. BACKPACKing. She said she can be my tour guide. In fact it was her 2nd trip to India. The first was when she visited my dad a couple of years ago, which I also tailed later on.

The first thing that went through my mind when she mentioned the word, BACKPACKing was....dirty laundry, sweat, stink, dusty. But hey, there's always a first time for everything. I dragged Juan along.

She said she plans to backpack again before flying back, this time with one of her AFS friend and thought we might be interested to join. I asked Juan, and the rest was history. By the time we knew, we were in front of the PC, applying for visa..

Penang-Kuala Lumpur-Kolkata-Jaipur-Agra-Shimla-Bangalore-Kuala Lumpur-Penang.
 That was our itinerary. Dianah was supposed to arranged for our hotel, train tickets and return ticket. While I was in charge of purchasing tickets for myself and Juan to Jaipur which will be our meet up point. The plan started in November. The preparation for the trip didn't take much effort as I was familiar with some things there except there were few unexpected things I stumbled throughout my stay.

And so the adventure starts......
