I and KiamFui had lunch at KFC after Critical Thinking lecture class.

This is the first time we had lunch outside the campus. It was really enjoyable.

I noticed this stair case design at KFC is creative.

When I'm enjoying my meal, KiamFui suggested to go to Prima Avenue for some Snow Ice after lunch.

Since I'm already full, I told him that I do not wish to go.

Then he said: “You should go right now or else you won’t have the chance to eat Snow Ice anymore”.

In this case, he used ad populum to a false dilemma to persuade me to eat Snow Ice with him.
Thus, I decided to go to Prima Avenue to eat Snow Ice after lunch.

A car blocking the parking main entrance. The driver immediately drove her car away.

While we were on the way to Prima Avenue, a slow moving car in front of us is slowing us down, that strongly annoyed me because I think it is wasting my time.

So, I persuaded KiamFui to cut the annoying car.

I told him: “ You should cut this driver off, just the same way he cut us off back when the lanes were merging."

I’ve used ad populum appeal to spite trying to persuade my friend to do something as other people are doing it.

Finally, we had tried Snow Ice under hot weather while reached Prima Avenue.

It is really nice to eat. I like it very much.

Green Tea Snow Ice Delight.

At the night, I just received a called from my mother.

She reminded me to make sure all the ptptn stuff prepare well.

She said: "I want you double confirm all of the document prepare well. If you didn’t prepare enough documents for Hari Bersama PTPTN, your application will being rejected by PTPTN officer. You’ll unable to bearing the expensive tuition fees. And you’ll be barred by MMU exam unit. Consequently, you’ll withdraw yourself from MMU and lost the chance to study".

In conversation, my mother used ad populum appeal to indirect consequences make me so worried about my future.

After that, I felt worried whole night and double check again all of my documents are completed before sleep.

Wish me Good Luck!

In summary, I realize that fallacies are commonly use in our life.

In my opinion, it's using daily. =)

How Does Decision Come From?

Every one have to solving their problem and make own decision in life.

Since I was young, everything was decided by my mother.

What she had decided for me? She decided my education carrier, attire even FREEDOM (she's not allow me hang out with friends).

But it’s okay, that’s all is for my own good. I appreciated her contribution for me.

Two years ago, she enforced me pursue form 6 after SPM, yet I wanted study creative multimedia at college.

Why she did so? Well, this is the only ways I can enter local university besides that can save up diploma fees. So, I obey her and doing my form 6 and did study slovenly.

After 2 years, I got my STPM certificate (form 6). But I quite disappointed for the result.

In this case, I had been expecting how great it can get my dream course, business administrative if my result gained 3.00 above of CGPA. But the reality is my CGPA only got 2.67 some more got unexpected or unwanted course, technologies management. It’s because less 0.33 of CGPA (the gap between expectation and reality). However, my mother has empowered her authority to me and allowed me to make decision on this time.

I have a lot of question to analyze when these problems occurred and decide solutions. So now, I thinking what reason caused this problem. It’s because I was not serious when study and just did slovenly. I found this problem had resulted me can’t get my wanted course due to insufficient CGPA requirement.

I really want to find a solution to study my selected course from this event exists. On the other hand, It’s have few possible solutions that can take that might have advantage and disadvantage. First choice is study private university MMU, meanwhile I needs to burden the high tuition fees so can get my wanted course which certified international and can back to hometown every week. Second choice is study private university UTAR to get my wanted course, but I have to pay more effort in study because it’s hard to pass in exam some more far away from my hometown. Last choice is do appeal from ministry of education to get my wanted course but its not possible and wasting time.

Finally I had make a conclusion is pursue my degree level with my wanted course which has standard certified although is expensive than other university. Last but not least, I'm happy because I had make a right decision in right way.

In this scenario, i have applied the four-step model to real situation to solving out my problems.

That is the easy steps to solving every things whenever we need to make a right decision.

I got it, are you?
