THE RIGHT!!!

Haizz, what a terrible day! I really felt frustrated with my roommate. Here the story...

My roommate always says that it is a forbid to bring girlfriend back to the room. I thought he was just kidding because he got girlfriend too, and it is impossible for him not to bring his girlfriend to his hostel. Few weeks ago, my girlfriend came from Kedah to visit me. She was very tired that night and wanted to stay 1 night with me, but my housemate rejected my request strongly.

He said it is a taboo to bring back girlfriend to hostel. Due to this, i had to rent a room outside and it was really costly. Today, when I came back to hostel after holidays, I saw his girlfriends inside the room.

I said nothing. I just packed my things. But in my thought, he has no right to disallow me bringing my own girlfriend to hostel, since he brought his own girlfriend back to our room.

He committed TU-QUOQUE.

A Salesman

Today, there was a salesman dropped by to my house. He was trying to promote his product which is a home electronical stuff. I was not very interested with his product but he insisted to promote it. So, I just let it be.

He tried to persuade me to buy the product by mentioning all the advantages.
I noded my head and pretended that I understood what he was trying to promote. There are no salesman that would promote the disadvantages of his own product since they wish to get profits from the sales.

At last, I said: "You only want the profit from the sales. I am not interested in it. Kindly move out. Thanks."

In this case, I was using AD HOMINEM CIRCUMSTANTIAL FALLACY which is to dismiss an arguement by attacking people who presumably accept that arguement because it addresses the circumstances of those who hold the possition.

Back From The Holiday

I was on the way back to university. On the way back, it was raining heavily which made me felt sleepy. I decided to sleep for a while.

Suddenly, my mom woke me up and told me that we had finally reached the hostel.

I realized that I slept without any awareness, just like a dead people. I practised simile.

Then, my sister and I brought all the luggage into my room. When I entered my room, I rereiced a message from a friend of mine, asking when I will be back to the university.

"I am here already." I answered.

"I will be back either tonight or tomorrow and I will inform you when I back to university." He replied.

"Be careful on the way back yea. Take care."

In this case, my friend was making compound claims, disjuctive (using "or") and conjuctive (using "and") claims.

MEMORIES

After I had my lunch, I promenaded with my grandfather in the park.
Suddenly i recalled my old memories.

When I was small, he was the one who holding my hands but now, in turn, I am the one who holding his hand. At the middle of the park, there is a well. Most of the neighbours will throw a coin into the well and make a wish because they believe that the well has an unbelieveable power to fulfill others wishes.

This is the commom belief among the neighbours, and I believe in it too. Then, i threw a coin into the well and made a wish. " I wish my grandfather will be in good condition and away from any illness." I was practising "common practice"

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

Today is National Day. Besides that, today is my birthday. YEAH!!!

I received a lots of blessing from my dearest friends and family members.

Every year, I received the same blessing but I received something "special" this year which I will remember in my whole life.

It is from an ordinary friend of mine, called Kit Tian. Below was the words in the birthday card:

" you are the most blessed person in he world "

because you are a capable and knowledgable person ,

In term of academic, you are always at the top,

and you are very active in extra co-curriclums.

You are my model of learning .

You are my idol.

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY!"

I felt suprise after I read the card.

" I am an idol."

But...

the card ended up with one "special" sentence,

" If I face any problem in the assignment, I believe you will help me, wont you? "

(Ad populum appeal to vanity and leading question)

We can still choose another branch.....

Just now I had my dinner with my girlfriend in Marrybrown.

When we wanted to order our meal, my girlfriend took a long time to think of the desire meal.

Since it took a long time, the impatience marrybrown worker asked us rudely: " What you all want? Please dont waste my time."

"What? What kind of attitude you are showing to me?"

"We are your customer."

I really felt angry at that time and decided not to enter any marrybrown in Malaysia ANYMORE!

Then, my girlfriend said: " It is just the fault of that particular worker,"

I realised that I had made a hasty generalization.

"The worker is rude but it does not apply to all marrybrown workers in Malaysia."

I was conviced by my girlfriend and ended up having dinner in another marrybrown branch..

contradictory & comparative...

Today my dad asked my brother a question, " What you want to be after graduate?"

This is not an easy question.

My brother likes to cook , but on the other hand, my father wants him to be an engineer.

Now, he is enrolling in engineering.

Becoming kitchener is my brother's dream.

He is puzzled.He could not decide what to be.

Although becoming kitchener involves a lots of hard work, he can feel the self-satisfactory.

On the other hand, he can get a high remuneration by becoming engineering and my father will not worry so much.

Will he follow his dream?

Or he will follow my father advices?

Until now, he have not decide yet.
