A Cute Potato's Blog :)

  It's been few months since I last blogged. Life is good now. I have completed 3 semesters of my degree life :) Beginning my new semester next week and the happy part is, I scored quite-a-good GPA for my final exam this semester. Hard work was finally paid off. I am more than glad that I made it for this semester. For my previous semesters, I only managed to work for an average pointers. This time, I successfully scored a good pointer. It is not easy to be working and studying at the same time. I believe now I have finally learned how to manage my time wisely.       I have been quite tied up with stuffs that I did not even have the sufficient time to update my blog frequently like I used to. Now, since I am free at work (as usual) since it is an off-peak time , let's talk about how did my days went by for the past few months. About a month ago, I was offered for a Team Leader position in my office. Unfortunately, it was around the same time with my final...

    Talking about customer service job, everyone hates it. Nobody wants to deal with those super-annoying customers who come shouting and scream to your outlet. However, there is this special thing about working in a call centre. Working in a call centre teaches us many life values that we can use as in our daily routines. You can be an extremely arrogant and rude person. But trust me, just work in a call centre for 6 months and you will be a completely different person. Here are 9 benefits of working in a call centre. Tadaaaaa!!!! Number 1 You will learn how to be a patient person.In a call centre, it is all about customer service. So, the calls that come in are mostly because of problems and complaints. I believe all of us know how will a human being react when they are angry and frustrated. So, yeah! You gotta deal with the super pissed customer who called the Customer Care Hotline while his blood is still boiling. As time passes by, you will eventually learn on ho...

   Her little brother stood there crying, stomping his feet while she has to give away her chocolate bar to him so that he will stop crying. Her right cheek was red after the tight slap that was given by her mom for arguing with her brother over a chocolate. She was only 9 at that time. With a heavy heart, she walked away from the living room. "Maya, there's a phone call you. Quick!", she was frightened by the voice and quickly attended the call from one of her clients. A moment of silence in her office, brought her back to the olden days, when she was younger. She grew up compromising with everyone around her. She had to give up and sacrifice her likes just to see her family happy. It was 5pm as her thoughts were lingering around. She packed up her stuffs and rushed out from the office to pick her 6 year old daughter from the day care centre. Wonder where is her husband? She is a single mother. The father of her daughter left her few years ago because she never wanted to...

    Went for dinner with a friend last night and he actually told me that I have put on some weight. Which means, he literally told me that I am fatter now. This broke my heart, lol. I do realize that I have added on few kilograms because I ate like a fat pig for the past few weeks. Briyani, fast food, delicious food, food and food. Honestly, I feel heavier since few days ago. I noticed that my knee hurts when I'm walking and I feel lazy most of the time(that's bad!) I see that my tummy is bulging out a little bit more now.     I am person who is very sensitive when it comes to body weight related topics. I was born chubby. I guess my mom ate awesome food before giving birth to me that I was born as a cute and chubby baby. I grew up being plus-sized, not that fat of course. But, I was chubby. After I finished school and entered college, I started to put on weight drastically due to the unhealthy eating habits. I munched on junkies, depended on fast food a...

      Heyya, bloggers! It has been quite sometime since I lasted posted something here on my blog. It was because for the past two weeks I was busy eating and eating. Now, I feel so sick in my stomach that I feel like puking each time I think or smell food. I guess too much food intake does  more harm than good. Lol :)         So, when I said too much food. I really mean it! I had loads of delicious and heavy food for past weeks. I shall upload the photos of the food I took soon as I do  not have them with me now. As usual, I am blogging discreetly at work due to less incoming call. I shall upload the food images when I get access to my laptop at home. Beginning from the 27th April 2017 till yesterday, I wallop some good amount of yummy food into my tummy and now I regret every single second on why I did that. For dinner on the 27th April 2017, I had Briyani at Anjappar Indian Cuisine in Petaling Jaya. The next day, I had a full ...

    Sitting here, staring at the computer. I wonder why I even had to grow up? I can't believe I'm almost two and a half decade old. I always thought I was still a happy kid with a stress-free life. But, this morning I realized that I'm no longer a little child. I'm grown up into a young lady which has bunch of responsibilities and commitments.         They say as you grow older, you will start loving your family more. It's absolutely true in my life. Since young, I disliked my family. It's not that I hated them, I just felt that my life was controlled. I was disappointed because I was never allowed to take my own decisions. Until the age of 17, even the clothes I wear were decided by my family. I was not allowed to have friends. I was not allowed to go out unnecessarily. My grandmother will never let me sleep after 9am in the morning. Household chores, I was taught how to handle them as early as 10 years old. I felt bugged and unloved...

     Since my school days, I was the smartest student of all. I catch and learn things fast. My homework were always done. I was a perfectionist in everything I do. Mates and teachers adored me for who am I. But, that does not mean I do not make mistakes. I am a perfectionist who is imperfectly perfect. Out of a blue moon, I did mistakes and I still do. I believe most of us do.      However, I wonder why we are being judged by the mistakes we do? We are humans and we are incomplete without mistakes. If we never make any mistake, then there is no point in us being a human. As for me, I learn from my mistakes. I do not expect results in first attempt. I may appear to be a perfect person to many people. But, I knew how many mistakes and failures I went through before I became "perfect". I knew how much shits I had to go through before achieving the excel results. Not just me, each and everyone of us go through the shit before achieving success. ...

    Childhood could be the best phase in life for almost everyone. When you see people talk about their childhood memories, you can see the joy lighting up in their eyes. Childhood experience can be said as a beautiful and memorable part of one's life. So, for those who had such a beautiful childhood journey, you are gifted. How I wish I had a beautiful childhood with wonderful memories too.         Life was not easy for me when I was a kid. I was born in a broken family. My parents never got along. I saw violence and abuses in all form even when I was less than 8 years old. I did not knew what love is as I always saw my parents arguing. Being a little child, I thought marriage was a complete bullshit where you will be always fighting with your partner. While most of the kids eagerly wait for their school session to end, I secretly prayed my classes will end later so that I would not have to go back home early. Going home terrified me every...

  It's been quite sometime since I have blogged. The time of the semester has began. Final exams! First thing, I am happy as my semesters are moving fast. I will finish my degree course fast, I supposed. But, I am also quite nervous about my finals. I have a feeling that I am not fully prepared. With the tight schedule of work and minimum time to go through my notes and text books. I feel extremely congested. Hahaha! I need some break! Like I honestly do!     So, the reason of my blog today is I would like to share on how I manage my studies and work accordingly. I am not a pro anyway, but just something I do which I believe is working for me. I work in a 9 to 5 working environment. The maximum time I will be in my office will be up to 6pm only. After 6pm, I will be already on my way back. Usually, I will be home before 9pm. Every human needs rest. So, do I. I usually do not pressure myself by doing work continuously. I have my lazy moods too. Right after reachi...

              This year is moving pretty quicker than I actually thought it would. It feels like the beginning of the year, those New year parties and resolutions. Now, it's all gone. We are already towards the ending of the month of March 2017.     I was packed with my studies, assignments and so much more throughout this month. I successfully submitted my assignments before the due date. Currently, I'm halfway through out my preparations for my final examination. I am going slow and steady. The topis are so difficult that I'm taking longer to digest them into my brain. Squeezing my brain to keep it energized.

              Yesterday was my boyfriend's birthday. Usually, we will just go for a movie, a simple cake cutting between both of us and meal at any food & beverages in the shopping mall will be our option. But, this year I decided to to spend fully on good food as my boyfriend has grown up into a young man who basically loves food and only food. I have already ordered for him a surprise men's gift which will be delivered to his doorstep in few more days. So, as 7th March 2017 was the eve of his birthday and he basically worked on his birthday, we went for dinner at this very fine restaurant in Klang.      I'm pretty sure most of the Klangites knew about this restaurant but many people struggle in finding the location as it is located inside a village area and it is away from the city's eyesight. Few months ago, a good friend of mine introduced this restaurant to me and we even went for our lunch there. The food were splendid and...

   The day begin with heavy rain and cold weather. I over-slept this morning and came about 20 minutes to office, I actually expected my boss will screw me. But, thank God he didn't. Today is my last working day. I will be on leave for two days. I just needed a short break from the hassle. I was just extremely exhausted and I know I need a break. So, I took 2 days off work and planned to catch up with my assignments and studies which are just hanging half-way. I hope I just don't end my holidays by sleeping like a potato all day long.       Nothing much for now, life is moving on in a very fast pace. Catching up with my tiny little steps. I feel like the year 2017 just began and it's already towards the end of the first week of March 2017. Time really flies what. Now I just want to share my checklist. Some of my wishes have been already granted, by me! It was solely my hard work with the moral support of my loved ones. 2016-2017 GOALS Bachelor...

Hey all! I guess I have been away from blogging for quite some time. Lol. Was busy with chores as I had to complete my assignments, prepare for my final exam and continue my daily routine as a working young woman. Good news is, I managed to complete my two assignments out of three. I feel quite relieved as I believe I will complete my assignments earlier and submit them. And yeay ! I can start focusing on my final exam. After a stress free week, I do not want to blog about my studies or job again. Now, I would like to share something personal about me, my feelings and how people treat my feelings.    I have always been a nice person since I was a young kid. Growing up in a middle-classed family, my mother never failed to teach all me the good values in life. I grew up as a person who forgives and forget no matter how badly someone hurt me. When I was a kid, this was not a problem. But, as I grew up older, I noticed that some people tend to take advantage on my soft nature. I...

  As I grew up, life taught me a good number of lessons. One lesson I learned recently was, when being strong is the only choice you have, you will end up being strong even without you realizing. And, you will get used with being strong. Definitely not bragging about myself, at times when I sit in silence and look back at my life, I feel proud of the journey I came through in life.     Unlike most of the young people my age, I never get to enjoy life. I have less friends, and my days are always congested with work and studies. I do not have movie nights, friends outing or sleepover at a friend's place. Nothing! All I have is stressful study nights and restless working hours in the day time. There were times were I could not take in more. I felt where my life badly needs a break. As I said, I was not enjoying my life, I thought :)     But, now being a grown up, having a brain that functions pretty well, I realized that I'm enjoying too, in a differe...

It's 03.23PM, the 15th February 2017. I am still in my office blogging because I'm too bored. Basically I work in a customer service centre where we have peak and off-peak hours. There will be times when I could not even have a break to exhale my breath. There will be times when I will be extremely free just like how I am today.      You might think that I work in a cool company that allows you to use the internet while working. No! You are wrong. Nobody knows that I am accessing blogger, lol. If anyone did, I would be in deep shit. This is the only site where we have access to, maybe because our official email accounts are associated with Google and Gmail. I am glad that at least we have access to this. I have something to do to kill my time. Life is all good so far. I'm working on a full time basis and doing my degree in communication on a part time basis. Juggling between a student lifestyle and adult lifestyle. From 5am onwards, I am a responsible working adult...

   I would like to share my experience of attending a job interview in HSBC Bank Global Customer Service Centre some time ago, when I was still jobless. I was not hired of course but I am glad that now I am already employed in a well-established company in Kuala Lumpur. The journey of interview in HSBC Bank is a tough one and I hope my blog will give you a somehow plain picture on how is it like.     I received a phone call from their HR Department just two days after I applied for the job vacancy via Jobstreet website.I believe the staff who called me is an international executive of HSBC as her slang was different and I find it difficult to actually understand what was she saying. As the first step, a short interview was done over the phone by the lovely lady, Miss Monica. After a quick interview session, I was selected for the walk-in interview which was scheduled two days after the phone conversation. I made all the necessary preparations. I photocopied my cert...

        Being a girl who was chubby since born has always made me struggle. For every chubby kid, you will be called all cute names until you reach puberty. After puberty, it is all vice versa. Each and every person you meet starts giving you unpleasant comments about your appearance. As for myself, whenever I attend any family occasions or gatherings, I have all those aunties and uncles who will lecture me about my weight and telling me how difficult it would be to get a groom for me years later. I am a girl who lives hundred of kilometers away from my family doing my Bachelor's Degree in part time basis and working under a full-time job. Therefore, I rarely go back to my hometown. I only get the chance to enjoy the smell of home once or twice a year. Even when I meet my family after many months being away, the first thing my mother talks about will be my weight anyway. I have always wondered on why must someone be judged by their appearance. The heart and...
