INTERVIEW 1
Purpose: Introduce yourself, the purpose of the interview and chit chat to break the ice.
D: Encik dan Puan dah lama tunggu kami ke tadi? Kami minta maaf,
jalan depan tu jammed sangat. Dalam sejam jugak kami stuck.
OK01: Tak apa kami faham. Lagi pun kami berdua hari ini tengah cuti.
D: Encik dan Puan tinggal berdua ke? Nampak rumah ni macam sunyi
je.
OK01: Ha ah, anak-anak semua dah besar. Yang abang sekarang kerja di
Labuan sebagai anggota Bomba. Yang kakaknya pula kerja
sebagai peguam di Kuala Lumpur. Yang bongsu tu sedang
sambung belajar di Rusia, maklumlah cita-cita nak jadi doktor
forensik.
Pakcik dan makcik berdua ni mesti suka tempat yang wangi dan
bersih kan. Dari halaman rumah tadi dah nampak kawasan rumah
ni bersih, dalam rumah ni pun tenang dan wangi je.
OK01: Suka sangat, kalau kamu nak tahu. Hari-hari makcik ni bersihkan
kawasan rumah, pakcik kamu tu pula hobinya cuci kereta. Pantang
ada lumpur sikit, dah nak cuci. Dalam kereta tu pula penuh dengan
pewangi kereta. Kalau makcik tak silap ada 5 pewangi yang
berbeza. Terkejut jugak makcik dibuatnya.
Purpose: To get answers to the question of “Does the multi-scent freshener work?”
Makcik tadi ada bagi tau yang pakcik Mazlee ni suka dengan
pewangi kereta kan.
D: Betul tu pakcik. Kalau saya pun tak suka ada bau yang kurang
menyenangkan. Boleh muntah dibuatnya.
Kalau boleh tau, pewangi kereta tu masih guna pewangi yang lama
ke?
OK01: Pakcik guna pewangi kereta biasa je. Alaa yang murah tu, yang
ada jual dekat ECO dan DIY.
D: Pakcik pernah ada apa-apa masalah ke dengan pewangi kereta
yang sekarang?
OK01: Makcik ni guna yang biasa tu juga, alaa yang spray biasa tu.
OK01: Makcik selalunya beli pewangi yang bau bunga-bunga tapi kadang-
kadang bosan juga, jadi pewangi di rumah ini sentiasa bertukar-
tukar.
OK01: Ha ah, pakcik pun bolehlah letak dalam kereta. Tak payah beli
banyak-banyak.
D: Bernas idea tu, boleh jadi inspirasi untuk projek kami nanti.
OK01: Korang buatlah freshener macam tu. Yang sesuai dengan semua
tempat.
OK01: Makcik dah tak sabar nak rasa bau baru dalam rumah. Korang
buatlah cepat-cepat ye… Hahahaha
D: Okay makcik.
Kami minta diri dululah ye, hari pun dah petang. Terima kasih
banyaklah sudi terima kunjungan kami.
OK01: Sama-sama. Kalau ada masa datang lah lagi lain kali. Kami ni pun
sunyi duduk berdua.
D: InshaAllah, boleh.
OK01: Balik rumah nanti tu, hati-hati memandu. Jangan nak merempit
sangat.
D: Hahaha…baik makcik..
INTERVIEW 2
Situation: The conversation took place between the Grab driver, Mr. Lee Chen, and me as he
was driving me back to Seri Serapi College with my friend. I noticed that Mr. Lee Chen's car
freshener was placed on the front passenger seat.
OK02: Okay.
You dua orang Sabah ka? You punya slang bukan orang sini.
S: Boleh cakap sikit je uncle. Lagipun rugi belajar sini tapi sik mok belajar
klaka Sarawak.
Purpose: To get answers to the question of why the air freshener on the chair.
OK02: Tadi masa hantar penumpang lain balik, uncle punya air freshener bocor
dibawa botol tu. Uncle pun masukkan dalam plastik dan letak atas kerusi
tu.
S: Uncle sik mok tukar ka air freshener ktk? Guna yang dalam pack kering
tu.
OK02: Uncle sudah pernah guna itu, tapi bau dia oo tidak tahan lama. Cepat
habis, uncle ni selalu dapat customer boy merokok dalam kereta jadi
kalau itu bau habis. Bau kereta susah mau hilang.
S: Oh, yeke uncle. Susah betul dapat customer degil ni kan uncle.
Tak pasal-pasal orang lain pun sik selesa naik kereta kita.
OK02: Betul. Uncle dapat rating low kalau kereta tidak bersih.
S: Kesian uncle…
Dah sampai. Thank you, uncle. hati-hati memandu. (Buka pintu kereta
dan balik ke kolej)
Description:
Interview 1:
The interview took place at Encik Mazlee and Puan Agnes' residence, where Dayang
Nur’Khairiyyah Mahfuzah (D) visited. The conversation started with casual greetings and small
talk, creating a warm atmosphere. Encik Mazlee and Puan Agnes shared about their family, their
children's successful careers, and their preference to be addressed informally as 'pakcik' and
'makcik'. Nur’Khairiyyah observed the cleanliness and pleasant aroma of their home, leading to a
discussion about their affinity for a clean and fragrant environment. Nur’Khairiyyah then asked
about the multi-scent fresheners in their car, aiming to explore if they were effective. Encik Mazlee
shared his enthusiasm for a clean car and discussed the challenges with current car fresheners,
mentioning their tendency to spill and the need for frequent replacements. Additionally, Puan
Agnes discussed her preference for changing home fragrances and the idea of an adjustable
freshener. The interview concluded with gratitude for the hospitality and a light-hearted exchange
before departing. This conversation revealed the couple's dedication to cleanliness and fragrance,
highlighting the challenges faced with existing fresheners and their openness to innovative ideas
for both home and car fragrances.
Interview 2:
The conversation took place inside Mr. Lee Chen's car as he drove the passengers, including Nur
Shahfikah and her friend, back to Seri Serapi College. Initially, there was casual small talk, with
Shahfikah and Mr. Lee Chen discussing their origins and dialects, noting the peculiarities in their
speech. Shahfikah observed an air freshener placed on the front passenger seat and inquired
about it, suspecting a spill. Mr. Lee Chen explained that it had indeed leaked while transporting
another passenger. He mentioned his intention to clean it later due to being occupied with various
tasks. Shahfikah suggested alternatives, but Mr. Lee Chen expressed dissatisfaction due to the
short-lived fragrance and challenges in eradicating persistent odors, especially those caused by
smoking passengers, impacting his ratings as a Grab driver. Despite challenges, Mr. Lee Chen's
dedication to providing a clean and comfortable ride was evident throughout the conversation.
1.5 Point of View (POV)
In the interviews conducted, distinct perspectives and attitudes towards maintaining cleanliness
and fragrance emerged from Encik Mazlee, Puan Agnes, and Mr. Lee Chen. Encik Mazlee and
Puan Agnes showcased a dedicated preference for a clean and fragrant environment, evident
from their well-maintained home and Encik Mazlee's enthusiasm for a fresh car. They highlighted
their struggles with current fresheners, emphasizing the need for more effective and less spill-
prone options. Conversely, Mr. Lee Chen, a Grab driver, faced challenges in maintaining a
pleasant ambiance in his car, particularly dealing with persistent odors from certain passengers.
Despite his efforts, he encountered limitations in finding long-lasting solutions due to the nature
of his clientele, impacting his ability to provide a consistently fresh environment. These interviews
portrayed varying perspectives on the importance of cleanliness and fragrance, illustrating the
challenges and considerations faced in different settings, whether at home or in a professional
capacity like a ride-sharing service.
1.6 DREAMS
This summarizes the challenge of creating a multi-scent freshener that not only has a selection
of scents but also has extra functionality that adjusts to user preferences and environmental
considerations.
