Exploring the Working World: My Part-Time Story

I never actually planned to work part-time, but it all started during the COVID-19 pandemic when online classes had not yet fully begun. My aunt, who was a supervisor at One Stop Superstore, offered me a part-time position as a Sales Assistant at the store. Since I had nothing else to do at the time, I accepted the offer without much thought. It was my first-ever job and the first time I earned a salary.

The tasks weren’t too difficult—I was responsible for arranging goods, restocking items, cleaning, placing price tags, and counting stock. I worked there for about three months, starting in December 2020, before leaving to focus on my SPM preparations.

After STPM, I decided to work again to enhance my skills and ensure that my resume wouldn’t be empty in the work experience section. I came across a job advertisement for a Hotel Receptionist position at King Ing Hotel. Encouraged by the opportunity, I went for an interview with my friends. A few days later, during Friday prayers, I received a call informing me that I had successfully passed the interview.

I started working in April 2024, and the job scope was quite manageable. I handled check-ins, check-outs, and assisted guests with their inquiries. It was a valuable experience that improved my communication and customer service skills. I worked there until August before resigning to prepare for university.

My Most Visited Spots in University

At university, besides spending time at my faculty and other college cafés, one of the places I frequently visit is the library—Perpustakaan Tun Seri Lanang (PTSL). I go there whenever I need to stay focused and motivated during study sessions. Seeing so many students studying makes me feel guilty if I’m not being productive, which helps keep me on track. The library provides a conducive environment, not just for studying but also for completing assignments, group discussions, and even a quiet place to gather my thoughts. Sometimes, I like to sit by the windows to enjoy the view while studying, as it helps me feel more relaxed. I also often visit PUSANIKA to buy groceries at 99 Speedmart. While there, I usually grab a drink from Zus Coffee or TeaLive to refresh myself before heading back to my college or faculty. PUSANIKA is also a convenient place to run errands, whether it’s getting stationery, printing documents, or just taking a short break in between my schedule. Every Friday, t...

My Education Journey

21 years of life have been quite challenging, especially in academics. I don’t come from a high-level educational background, but with the encouragement and support of my parents, I am now pursuing my Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration with Honors at one of Malaysia’s top universities— National University of Malaysia (UKM) in Bangi, Selangor. Primary School: Where It All Began My educational journey started at SK Datuk Awang Udin, Mukah, Sarawak , where I attended pre-school and primary school from Year 1 to Year 6 . This was the place where I discovered my potential , particularly in leadership and talent development . I was appointed as Vice President of the School Prefects in Year 5 and served as Class Monitor for four consecutive years from Year 1 to Year 4 . Academically, I sat for the Ujian Penilaian Sekolah Rendah (UPSR) and achieved 2As and 4Bs .

Smashing Through the Day: My Badminton Experience

Hi everyone, Today, I want to share how I usually spend my badminton sessions! I typically play with my Form 6 friends at the Badminton Court Majlis Daerah Dalat dan Mukah (MDDM) . We prefer playing on weekdays when we don’t have too much homework piling up. Most of the time, we play in pairs since singles can be quite exhausting. To make things more exciting, we always turn it into a mini-tournament , but in a fun and casual way—nothing too serious! After an intense game, we usually grab some food at our favorite spots or, if we’re in the mood to relax, head straight to Pantai Kala Dana Mukah to enjoy the beach vibes. Badminton isn’t just a sport for us—it’s a way to stay active, bond with friends, and de-stress from studies . What’s your go-to activity to unwind? Let me know!
