Muar - my research trip

Independent project B, is a practical form of assignment for my final year subject. It produces cost.

Cost = Time + Money + Relationship

I have travelled back and forth for 2 months already. I need to come back hometown for almost every week. First, I have to go to school to obtain permission to do survey. Second, I have to conduct survey in my previous tuition centre.

Money is the big issue of all. We paid RM2080 for this subject. However, we need to distribute our survey to target participants, yet we did not have any grant for it. Currently, I have spent around Rm300 for photostating already. In addition, my bus fare and petrol fare are not included yet. I also have to buy small gifts for the teachers that have helped me in this research. Pheww..It really costs me a lot.

Thanks to teachers that agreed of my request. I able to enter tuition class to do survey due to I was once an ex student of that tuition centre. I felt I had disturbed the teachers a lot. Apart from that, my best friend had been my assistant from the start till the end. I felt very thankful to her accompanion.

Reward = ???

Thus, what is the reward that I got so far? I had 78 participants from the tuition centre, which is a big achievement for me. I am awaiting patiently for my 350 participants from Chung Hwa High School.

Most importantly, I got some time to spend with my friend. First day, we tried Elephant Bean Coffee Cafe, Muar. We had ordered 1 iced elephant bean coffee, 1 honey, 1 plain bread with choco and butter, and 1 round bread with choco and peanut butter.

The coffee is too bitter, so it doesnt go well with icey water

The honey, I don't prefer it unless it is mixed with lime

Choco + butter are not a good combination. The plain bread is very crispy, so I think is better to toast the bread with the jam. Then, the taste will only mixed well

Choco + peanut butter taste well. Should try it !

Overall, the ambience in this cafe is pleasant and comfortable. The service is quite ok too, at least the waitresses are not arrogrant.

It located at Wetex Parade, the heart of the Muar City. :)

The next day, we went to try it out in ZAN Cafe, Muar


They did not know how to arrange chairs and tables appropriately. They had wasted some empty places, so It made the cafe looks empty.

The singers took out quite a long time to tune the sound. It doesn't seem professional, however their tone of sound quite ok.

We will getting hot if you stay there for longer time. The air cond is not cold enough, and you will start to sweat.

We tried a pot of flower tea and fun fries.


Too bad, the venus is a bit remote and dark. If they change to better location, I guess their business will improve.

Food : 3.8 out of 5

Last but not least, we went to the youngsters' newbie - Witchery Ider. Everyone will try their tea drink (Buy 1 free 1). Having your own brand, could be the attraction for people to come. Secondly, the food is eatable, some of them are quite delicious.


The main reason I went there because of their pearl tea. Different types of choices, and it is something that you might not try before.

Recently learnt about emotion triangle, it said human tends to suppress core emotion, and manifested as either a defense or inhibitory emotion. The emotion that we tends to inhibit are shame, guilt ... There are fear and inferiority that governs my heart - I have to learn to address and admit my feelings better, and make a decision to communicate or set a boundary. It is hard to actually do so, and I know after I have done it - I can sense my guilt and shame. It is like a vicious cycle.  I have to make a promise to myself - be mindful, be steady and let my head clears. Don't react much...But at the same times I am glad that I did say something. I did express myself. I did feeling less intense. I treated it as a progress.  Anyway I felt sorry of the people that I hurt - when I am still a human with sin...

Full stop is not a Stop

My study has come to the full stop. After the submission of my final year project, I thought I will be delighted, yet I wasn't. I was apathetic. No more motivation to complete it, I already forgotten my achievement goals, I have given up. During the phase of life, I felt Life is just ain't about perfection. Imperfection in life is the essence of our growth. In order to grow, old proverb saying "no pain, no gain", it indeed applies to everyone of us. Being through thick and thin, sweat and tears, I started to realise that adaptation to sudden change is incredibly important. For instance, we have a goal to get a First Class Honour in our degree program, but our result speaks no to us. Is it show that we are stupid? Nope, it only tells us that it is a piece of paper which might granted us to obtain better job, yet which class you get is not the guarantee to get a better job. The end of college life, is the start of _______ life. People will fill in the blank themselves....
