THE GAMER
Hi, I’m JacQ!
I can be described as a Renaissance person – someone with a diverse range of interests and talents. I am a blogger, gamer, and an experienced learning and development professional with a colorful background in marketing and business development. With over 18 years of industry experience, my enthusiasm for training and development is unparalleled. Since 2006, I have been blogging about everything from my work to my hobbies – and the fun never stops!
I grew up in a cozy little town called Klang, nestled in the heart of Selangor, Malaysia. I have a MBA with a major in marketing, so that’s pretty much what I do most part of my career: marketing, sales, and client servicing. I’m a Certified Training Professional, Certified NLP Practitioner, and Certified Game-based Learning Practitioner.
I’m a multipotentialite and autodidact, meaning I’m not one to be boxed in by a certain career or interest and I enjoy learning on my own. I set my learning goals and dive deep into my passions, seeking out online courses, YouTube channels, and any other resources that can help me grow. And, hey, sometimes you just need a good mentor to help guide you along the way. I’ve been lucky enough to have some pretty amazing ones in my life.
Now, every so often, I do like to venture out and about to check out the latest cafes or get lost in the beautiful resorts that are dotted around Malaysia.

Blog’s Timeline
This has become a full gaming blog while I have a section of my personal blog right here in About page as a depository for my thoughts and life. I also publish my articles at Medium.
I renamed the blog to Business and Coffee to focus on business related topics while I revived the free WordPress.com blog Call Me Jackie to serve as my personal blog.
I finally registered my own domain and migrated this blog to the new domain in June 2011.
Once upon a time in the land of Blogger.com, I had a blog called “Accelerating Success.” It was all about self-help and motivation because I was a newbie in the world of personal development. But then, I found my true love, WordPress.com, and I happily migrated my blog over. With my new digital home, I decided to give my blog a sassy new name – “Call Me Jackie.” My posts shifted towards sharing wild tales from my life as a businessperson and how I’ve grown and changed over the years.
