It was an event for family and friends. We spent 7 hours on the road just to attend this wedding. Actual fact, I'm looking forward to this. Another cousin got hitched. It felt like were only kids yesterday and now one by one is settling down.

It has been many years since I last step foot in Johor. Things have changed so much as far as I remember. A short trip up south which I very much needed just to get away. Although it was a tiring journey, but I had so much fun meeting other extended family members.

My mum had 12 siblings some those who came were not even half and the whole place were packed with them. Imagined if 12 of them and their family were there. I believe we had to camp in front of the house. But it was good to see everyone there. Some whom I've last met during my wedding.

I packed everything I needed in my bag and the only thing I had to forget was my heels. I only realizes it when we were at Ayer Keroh's R&R. I was like 'This chic's gonna rock in slipper'. It was my first time visiting my aunty's place and this mama felt lega that she didn't brought along her heels. It was all work,work, and work. No time to strut my heels in public. I brought the whole almwari for that 2 nights trip. You know me, I don't pack light only if it's backpacking trip. Obviously this is not.

Oh I had a try on crutches for the first time. My uncle met with an accident and had to rely on wheelchair and crutches. On the day of the wedding, I decided to see how will I look like on crutches. Stylish I tell you....

Finding a good accommodation for a large crowd is never easy because you can't really estimate whether the house can accommodate that many people or not. It's even harder in kampung area. 

My cousin's wedding in Johor has an estimation of 1500 guests .1/4 of it are mostly family members who came as far as Sungai Petani. Imagine that. My aunty booked a whole house hoping that it could accommodate that many crowd, turns out it was only me, Juan and my dad *the rest wanted to cramp at my auntie's place* . Because this wedding is based on gotong-royong, so everyone is needed to help. That is why the rest of the family members decided to stay at the bride's place.

We arrived a day before the nikah took place. My mum has gone over 1 week before as she wanted to help out. My uncle met with an accident a few months ago and now is on wheelchair and have yet to heal. So definitely they were lack of manpower.

The accommodation that we got can fit around 13 people comfortably. It has large veranda, a medium size gazebo in front of the house but parking space were a bit limited. The kitchen is equipped with cooking hob, spoons, forks, plates, cups and other cooking utensils including rice cooker and most important it is a Muslim friendly home.

There are 2 rooms (each can accommodate 3 to 4 guests) and 2 separate hall. The main hall can fit up to 7 guest and the 2nd living room (nearby to dinner the table) can maybe fit up to 6 guests. The owner provide 4 extra single mattress and extra pillow. You can bring extra too. Hangers, iron and ironing board is also provided.

There are chairs at the veranda where you can just hang out and a small gazebo to take your #ootd too. The house is air-conditioned with fans too. There are 2 showers with toilets attached. A separate sink is outside of the bathrooms.

I've been eyeing on this little baby since it was launched on FashionValet. I thought of getting them once my shampoo is finished but you know, knowing me. Now, my current love is this little bottle. My previous shampoo is now officially anak tiri.

What I like about this shampoo is that it is free from any radical substance therefore you'll notice there's not much foam when using it. The smell is not strong but enough to keep your hair smells good the whole day including those with hijab. My hair smell so sweet and it leaves a soft touch to it. My favorite part is, Good Virtues Co. is also available in travel size. Easy to carry around. Yeay and the bottle is reusable.

What makes this little bottle special. Well, for a start this shampoo is infused with Organic Habbatus Sauda Oil (Organic Black Seed Oil) that hydrates for softer, smoother and shinier hair. The protective formula also comes with natural Maca Root extracts to strengthen follicles to help reduce hair fall.

Good Virtues Co are infused with the purifying goodness of Organic Habbatus Sauda Oil (Organic Black Seed Oil) which is recognised for its rich, natural nutrients, minerals and antioxidants that repair, restore and rejuvenate. They are also free from Mineral Oil, SLES, ALES, Parabens, synthetic colourants, and are not tested on animals. They only use 100% non-animal derived ingredients in their products.

The price is really reasonable. This one is 80ml and cost me only RM4!!!. Tell me about cheap and good. Well, you can now purchase it from Fashion Valet. They have other variety of body care too.

I have been using Sunsilk wsince high school. Geezz, apa product yang I've never used back in high school ar? can't think of any. Anyway, I love that the shampoo doesn't leave my hair tangled in between combing even without using the conditioner. That's how good Sunsilk is. The smell? Oh don't go there. It stays on my hair for the whole freaking day. 

Sunsilk has come a long way since its establishment. They have evolved into a whole new level with numerous research done in order to create the perfect solutions for its customers, mainly us, woman. With me in hijab now, a good shampoo is very important as I cover my hair the whole day. It causes my head to itch or sometimes sweat. 

Apart from having your best friend on your face on a huge billboard, you also stand a chance to walk away with these prizes below. I is cannot tahan!

This company was my first ever real job. 4 years spent has been a wonderful journey. I met new people and learn new things everyday. Those were the time of joy and tears. It has been my best and worst years.

Reason why I could relate much myself to this company is because the people itself. They're mostly my age and that's the reason why I could spend many years in that company and still kept in touch with some of them. The company has come a long way. More than a decade since its operation, things have since changed. From the people, the product, the process, system as well as management style. I could say it is more of a Gen Y company. The communication style was also different from top to bottom level.

I get to hands on a lot throughout my tenant here. Things that I can never find in other company. Leaving the company was, I believe, the best decision I made. I bring along what I have learned there to my current job. I do not want to be the person who stays in that same position for the rest of their  life. I want to move forward. 

Going back to the office during the family day last few weeks definitely brought a lot memories that I will definitely tell my kids. My team and I has been working real hard and give our all. I was not the first one to leave among all. The transition was in stages. But each person who were there to witness how our team have grown, will definitely be proud. All the overtime, sweat and effort we put has definitely made all of us close. We could relate ourselves to each other and whenever I have a bad day at work, those memories I had with them can overcome.

I really miss those take outs we had when we had projects or the times when we had to stay back in order to finish up our work. Gossip time, lunch hour, team building. All of the things that I would love to rewind and experience again. I never felt the same team spirit in anywhere else as much as I did in this team. We go through everything as a team and not just blaming the mistake on one particular individual. We took the responsibility as a team.

I am very proud to tell people that I worked in this company cause not everyone has got the chance to work in a mega computer company. The fact that my team was an awesome team, that adds on to being proud. Working here was not about dragging myself to work, it's about wanting to create a new memory with them.
