Sick

All of my friend are staying in hostel and I am the only one who stay at Cyberia. Yesterday my friend, Siau Boon told me that hostel's pantry do not have water services.

I ask her to buy the mineral water from restaurant because nowadays the weather is terrible and we do need to drink a lot water to protect ourselves from sickness.

But the answer she told me is NO NEED. She said she did not drink water for 3 days but she still feel good. "Huh? Won't you get sick because of did not take much water?"

Of course again, she told me that she would not sick because she still feel good. Unfortunately, she told me that she feel had sort throat now. I told her because she did not take much water, so she is sick.

Causes and Effect Happened

Causes: did not take much water
Effect: fall into sick

Drink more water my friend, we gonna take care ourselves because we are all alone here.

Stop Smoking

My friend, Ming start smoking when he was in form 5. All of his friend asked him do not be a smoker because smoking will causes lung cancer. His best friend, Lee try to help him and try to talk to him about this.

Lee:"Ming, you gonna stop smoking. It is not good for your health and it might causes you lung cancer."
Ming:"Why should I believe to the words of a non-smoker? You totally don't understand how I am enjoy when I am smoking."

Ming used to Ad Hominem Circumstantial Fallacy to attacks Lee's motive which just want him to stop smoking. He try to dismiss this argument by attacking Lee who presumably accept that argument because it addresses the circumstantial of Lee.

"Dream" come true

My secondary friend, Kim Kiat is a high self confident person and he always told me that:

"If you think you can, You can." or "Nothing is impossible"

He said that if you feel that you are so confident of doing something, impossible will become possible, because nothing is impossible!

I know that it is all just his Cognitive Thinking - Self Fulfilling Prophecy. He got an expectation about the occurrence of the thing in fact. He do believe what he think, might be truth and he can handle it when he believe he can.

Just want to let him know, if good to have confident to something else; but not over confident because it will just make your life go worst.

Study Please

My brothers are in Form 5 this year and he gonna take his S.P.M. to move forward his studies. But maybe he is 'too confident' on what he have now, I didn't even saw him open the book to study or prepared for his exam.

One day, my dad try to encourage my brother to study hard and get flying papers in his S.P.M. so that my brother can get a good university or college.

"You better study hard now. If you study, then you will get good result in your S.P.M. You not study. Therefore you will not get good result in your S.P.M. Do you understand?"

My dad had use MODUS TOLLENS to persuade my brother to study hard. If he study hard then only he can get good result for his S.P.M.

Wish him all the best!!! Gambateh...

Research

My cousin currently work in the research department of company X. He is the one who prepared all the survey form.

His question as below:

(1) What is your name? (2) How old are you? (3) Branch location of company X you visit or call for service? (4) When you visit or call our company, how would you rate the attitude of our employees? (5) When you call our customer service personnel. How would you rate their product knowledge?

。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。

All the question above, he is using Interrogative Question. The question that he asked intended to solicit some information from his customers.

It helps me

Yesterday is national day, I had dated my secondary friends dinner together. I asked my mum whether I can go out or not because I had not been home for month.

Mum : "What time are you going out?"
Me :"Later."
Mum :"Where you want to go for your dinner?"
Me :"Restaurant."
Mum :"What time you will be back?"
Me :"After dinner."

I know that what I answer my mum is OVER GENERALITY. All my answers are very clear and understandable, but it could not be sufficiently specific where am I going, when I am going out and back home.

But, this is a technique to ask for out because if I clearly specific where and when and I can't make it on time; I will be grounded because late back home.

Sometimes, is good to have an OVER GENERALITY answer so that can avoid some punishment. Some more I can watch the fireworks, it is so beautiful...
