30 OCTOBER 2015

       We went to visit the chinese medical hall at Taman Midah, Kuala Lumpur on the 30th of October which is a Friday. Madeline's brother was the one who fetched us there. 

 

       We did our interview with Mr. Liew Cze Kong and took photos of his shop, products, Mr.Liew himself and many other photos.

 

       Then, we took photos of the competitors of Cze Kong Medical Hall and Sundry.

 

       The whole interview process took us 1 hour and 30 minutes. After the interview, we went for lunch at a chicken rice stall nearby the medical hall.

       After having our lunch, Madeline's brother fetched us to a nearby KTM station which is TBS- KTM Bandar Tasik Selatan. 

 

       We bought our ticket to Seremban and waited for the KTM to arrive. We discussed about the things that we will have to accomplish once we reached Seremban. 

 

       We waited for the KTM for about 25 minutes and finally started our journey to Seremban. There were no seats available in the KTM at first. After 30 minutes of standing and waiting, we finally got a seat to sit down.

       We reached Seremban at 5.00pm where the journey took us about 1 hour and 45 minutes to travel from Bandar Tasik Selatan. 

 

       My father went to the Seremban KTM station to pick us up. Our appointment with our interviewee was at 9.00 pm. Therefore , we went for dinner at a chinese restaurant before the interview.

 

       At 9.00pm , we met our interviewee, Mr. Chong Ngai Loong, which was one of my father's high school friend at KFC. We carried out our interview which took us about 2 hours and 30 minutes for the whole process. 

 

       After the interview, my father decided to thank Mr.Chong by treating him to a supper meal. So, we went for our "second round" which was our supper with Mr. Chong where we continued asking more question about his business.

 

       We were very full and satisfied with all the work that we have accomplished in just one day. 

31 OCTOBER 2015

       On the next day, we visited Mr.Chong's chinese medical hall. The name of the shop is Chop Yan Tuck Medical Hall. We also met the boss of the medical hall, Mr. Chong Ngai Soong. He runs the business with our interviewee which is his own brother.

 

       I bought many herbs from him to show our appreciation and support towards chinese medical herbs.

 

       We also took many photos of their shop and also how they run the business.

 

     After everything was accomplished, we went to many places in Seremban to have lunch, tea time, snacks and many more. 

 

     We were happy that we were able to finish all the interviews in 2 days which wa considered quite efficient.

 

       It was an enjoyable time together with all my group mates for these 2 days.

Reflection:

Through this project,  I have learnt how to prepare questionnaires and interviews so as to obtain accurate information in various topics. Besides, I was also able to learn how to carry out a proper interview which had improved my communication skills when talking to both of the interviewees.

 

       On the other hand, I also learned how to write a proper and formal report in a way that the readers can understand it easily. I learned that information in the form of tables are more easy to be analyzed and understood. In addition, I also get to learn all the basic content of a report which will benefit me in the future when preparing for other reports.

 

       Lastly, thanks to this project, I also got a chance to have an insight look of how a business is being run. The comparative analysis between both of the chinese medical halls had taught me some tactics and strategies to gain success in a business. Therefore, I was able to gain some basic knowledge about starting and running a business which will benefit me in the future.
