A quiet place to study

If you ask me where to find a place to study other than library or your room, i would say "there is NO such place" well, maybe in Kepong area. I'm one of that kind who likes to study at somewhere else besides than the two places which i mentioned at first. I've been searching for years for this perfect spot to study, somewhere not too far from my home (which is in Kepong area), somewhere not too noisy, somewhere with soft music instead of loud/pop songs, somewhere which provide nice beverage or snacks but does not make your purse empty, somewhere which is nice to seat for hours but not too comfy till you doze off. If you're searching for this kind of place in Malaysia, well maybe in Kepong, then i can tell you, you will never find this place. lol. I can see, restaurants or cafe are the places which most of the people like to hang out with their friends or maybe spend some quality time with their family. Studying halfway, you might hear baby crying, people laughing & chatting, POP songs, sound of the fork/spoon hitting the plate, the sound of tucking in or pulling out the chairs, the sound of the juice blender, sometimes sound of the people shouting "OOIIII, Hello!!" or "EXCUSE ME!" to the waiter.  All these sounds together, it create the "BEST" symphony ever.

McDonald? Nope. unless you study during midnight. Starbucks/ Coffee bean? Nope. These are one of the Malaysian's favourite hang out spot. unless you bring your earmuffs or headphones. Hermmm, in Tmn Bkt Maluri? nopee, can't think of anyplace. Menjalara? nopeee. Well, maybe Umami cafe. ONLY when you find the perfect timing. Desa Park City? Secret Recipe sounds nice. If hungry, get a piece of cake which you like, beverage are mostly below RM10. Table are big enough to put your books or stationery. BUT sometimes, the music is too loud and when someone order fruit punch or smoothies or milk shake. "BBBBBBBBBRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR" and then "TIT TIT TIT TIT TIT". Or you're so lucky that you can witness different birthday celebrations, listen to different languages of birthday songs, from English, to Chinese, to Cantonese. AND, honestly, some waiters there is quite noisy. they tend to make some annoying noise or play their "cool" songs from their phone sometimes. Herrmmmm....ok, unless your purse can be refilled with cash all the time, then maybe Coffee lounge in Hotels is a great spot.

CONCLUSION: just study at home lo. or library. (too bad ANY library is quite far from Kepong, HAIZ!) So, still, if you live in Kepong, just study at HOME, away from bed, away from laptop/ computer, away from tv/ radio, away from internet, away from tempting stuff like movie/drama DVD, magazine (coz you'll feel like shopping), storybooks/ manga that you wanted to finish so much and if possible, away from handphone.

Still, if sometimes there's too much temptations in my house, i'll choose these following places: Umami Cafe in Menjalara (Saturday/ Sunday morning 11am till evening), Coffee Bean in Desa Park City (weekdays morning till 3pm), Secret Recipe in Desa Park City (weekdays 3pm till dinner time). Or if you can go further, some cafe in bookstores such as Cafe in the 2nd floor of Kinokuniya, KLCC (after lunch time) or cafe in BORDERS/ MPH. Or if you're "lucky", restaurant in shopping mall which has less customers and soft music. and also, second floor of Starbucks in SS2.

 Seriously, feel like studying here.

 Yes, it will.
 Good luck! :)

P/S: Anyway, if you really found the place which suits all most of the criterias to study, DO tell me. i appreciate that! TQ. :D
