So Malaysian Style

I remembered last week tuesday, I had my tutorial class for Critical Thinking at 8am which conducted by Mr Nicky.
We had an outdoor activities at FCM autrium where each and everyone of us were divided into 3 different groups to perform a sketch based on Mr Nicky's story regarding about John Walker which had been told earier before leaving the class.
So Group 1 will be performing a sketch on Happy Ending, Group 2 on Funny Ending sketch and last but not the least Group 3 , which is my group will be performing on Malaysian Ending style sketch.
I was the group member for Group 3 and what I had to do was to collect ideas from my group members and combine to yield a sketch.
So, I conducted a quick Brainstorming Techniques for 2minutes on Malaysian style.

Here is the list of ideas that given by my members:
1. ketupat.
2.spicy.
3.village.
4.Instant noodles.
5.fatigue.
6.wide diversity of culture.
7.Hari raya.

After the brainstorming, I thanked my group member. We select some of the ideas from the brainstorming techinique and a sketch is yielded.
Here is the story,
Once John Walker left the bar, he isolates himself in an unknown Kampung named " Kampung Spicy ". In an instant he baecame a well-known chef in that village as for him specialties in Ketupat and he ways he cooks it.John Walker wipe his sweat using his hand and with de same hand to take the ingredient.Using other hand, he dig his nosetril and put it into his mouth and with the same hand he stratches his neck...

E t h i c s

A story began with,

A dog with a bone in his mouth was walking home happily. When the dog came to a bridge, he stopped and saw his own reflection in the water. Instantaneously, he jumped into the water hoping to get the bone, while the one in his mouth was dropped into the water. Finally , he got nothing and was drenched to its skin. Then, he walked away feeling dejected.

My assumptions were that the dog saw a bigger bone from reflection, and in its mind he wanted it as well. This made him jumped into the water, because he was overwhelmed with greed that surged in him. Moral of this story tells us not to be greedy, because what we have is better than what we do not have.( A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.)

Bionics studies on the aerodynamics of bird flight were carried out in collaboration the TU Berlin and yielded insights and new ideas on how to minimize turbulent drag at the wing tips.The consequent development of these ideas led to a novel shape for propellers, which has been patented worldwide as the Bionic Loop Propeller.


The particular shape helps to save energy and reduces noise, especially in heavy-duty propellers.

Evangeline and Anderson

This is an Unknown Biography-Take a picture from a newspaper, magazine or poster. Create an identity for the person (if it’s someone famous, give them a new identity) and write a brief description of what was happening just before, just after and just as the picture was taken. Evangeline and Anderson are newly wed couple and they are currently staying with Anderson's parents. Evangeline thinks that it is better for them to have their own house so that they could have more privacy and space. Not only that, Evangeline do not want to burden her in laws as in they are capable to own one as they live in a life of affluent.
So, Evangeline looks for houses for sale through newspaper and friends.
Luck was by her side,she found one house which is located in the middle of the route between Anderson's parents house and her parent house. She thought that it would be perfect if she could get the house due to the location. So without doubt, Evangeline and Anderson went to look at the house. They fell in love with the house at the very moment they look at it.The house was surrounded with spectacluar scenery. In a twinkle of an eye, they called the houseowner regarding the house and finally they bought the house.
Now, Evangeline and Anderson have a house on thier own.

Sri Damansara Club

In a humid and boring mid-afternoon, a friend of mine named Crystal asked me to go for a swim with Sin Wei who is an ex-student of mine at 7:00pm at Sri Damansara Club.
But earlier before that, I had promised my parent that I will be having dinner with them at the very same time, 7:00pm and later on after 2 hours I will be following my mom to JUSCO to do groceries. Therefore I could not make it up to her.

In this case, The Causal Relationship is used.

MERDEKA Countdown at Bernards, Central Point.

This afternoon I had a conversation with a friend of mine named Genie who also studies in MMU through Windows Live Messenger.

"Tonight our groupie are all going for Independent Day's countdown at Bernards, Central Point.Don't you tell me that you are not going for the countdown with us. If you worried about your Critical Thinking's assignment, you could continue after we get back. Everyone also had not finished."

In the conversation above, Ad populum appeal to common practice were used by Genie to persuade me to go to the Independent Day's countdown at Bernards, Central Point.

Home SweeT dAddy??

So as usual for the home sweet home plan every friday.
After family dinner,as usual a small chat between family members.
I told my dad that I took my shower around 11pm everyday in hostel.
Not to mention suddenly my dad "Good girl! Very good girl! Take more late shower! As you grow older, you will get numerous kind of sickness, later that dont even dare to complain to me."
Okie I said "Daddy how about you? Everytime you finish your Qi Gong class around 11pm and supper with Qi gong's friends, around 12am only you come back home and take your shower. What the differrence?"
In this conversation, you could see that I'm using
Tu quoque fallacy.

APPLE VS TOSHIBA laptop.

I was kind enough to lend my TOSHIBA laptop to a friend of mine, Clara to do her assignment in MMU's library where she forgotted to bring hers.
After a while, Clara told me that her eyes are getting drowsy and she gets headache when she works at my laptop.
She claims that this hasn't happened before, but she clearly states that she never encounter this when she use her APPLE laptop. Then she says that" I think I better get back to hostel and take my laptop.
Here is pictures on the laptop.

The Big Mac laptop.


Toshiba laptop.

The conclusion here is ''I think I better get back to hostel and take my laptop." But it's arrived in a way that "she never encounter this when she use her APPLE laptop". The argument was clearly bad as in the premise did not support the conclusion clearly. But , as in turned out, may be Clara's lack of sleep made her eyes drowsy and headache happens.
