i've just started my master, huhu

got a job offering after i graduate from bachelor but i dont know why i accept post graduate offer instead

That is an awkward but funny moment when some uncle aunty questioned me "when will you graduate? That Ah Seng take only one and a half year to finish master ". They even don't know master consisted of three modes: by research, by cousework, and mix-mode.

Bt, anyway, complete the phd study is just like you are giving license to conduct research, secure lecturer job and guide student. The real research life starting only after you get your phd.

LOL. Similar situation here. Last time my niece took master by coursework a year later than me but grad earlier than me. Uncle and auntie ask me what took me so long to complete my studies. Now I'm so afraid of people asking me that question cos I lazy to explain. People who doesn't understand might think the only reason we grad later than the expected date is because we're a lazy bum.

every CNY keep on asking same question, everybody staring at me
hopefully this year will graduate and hopefully they will not ask "how many A you get in your master exam?"

fully research bro, huhu but now headache finding research grants, protein works require big fund so i dont know if i could pull this off

Just tell them you've got straight As.

Best of luck. You gotta modify the topic if you can't secure a grant.

LOL true, my supervisor said need to 'marketize' our research so that it will have more 'market value'

That's true. Gd luck
