3/9

When i saw the newspaper about Avil Lavigne i just remember that Edward tell see mun Avil Lavigne will come to malaysia open concert last weekend. This event is organized by MAXIS and the seat for this event is limited so Edward say he will go to buy ticket quickly because it seem like very interesting. See mun just say “whatever !!!” see mun is using Down-players because when see mun use the word ‘whatever’ that make a what Edward said just now seem less significant than it really is.

One day my friend told me that she roars to her boyfriend;” When did you ever care about my feeling?” The girl is using a loaded question that ‘hides’ a dubious conclusion for my friend should she offer a strong argument. She use a ‘sneaky’ way to cause me to assume that her boyfriend treat her very bad and always don’t care about her feeling. My friend is using words that automatically cause me to assume that her boyfriend is a terrible boyfriend without giving me without giving me any reason (premises) to support the view of point.

Last week my nephews took part in a event organized by GSC but at last loss. Today i saw from internet that the new movie "money no enough 2" is giving out free ticket so i invited my nephews to join in order to increase the chance getting the free ticket.He reject my offered and said "I don’t want to join cause I wont win in any event". My nephews in this case is considered Argumentum a silentio cause he generalize that once he didn’t win for one event that means he will never win in other event. It is useless to take part in other event that he is never have chance to win any prizes

Tonight I have a meeting for kelab RMMU to decide what name we want to use for the trip we plan to go to Port Dickson. Everyone sit quietly during the meeting nobody could think any idea. Me as a manager of the event division suggested we could play a game using to Word Association come out some idea. I go to the white board and write “picnic” as a started word. The list below is all the word that all committee members come out


-beach boy

-sun shine

-hottest day

-summer

-sunflower

-spring

-samurai

-BBQ

-twinkle start

-full moon

-Romantic night

-campfire

-hide and seek

-Goats night

-Treasure hunt

We can easily come out with this word within 5 minutes because everyone out their idea included the shy people that don’t really give any idea during the meeting. This is because they all assume that this is a game, nobody will laugh at their idea. Sometime they also can come out a very creative idea since is free for them to shout out any idea. At last we decided to use summer as our tittle and the ice breaking trip that I plan to go to Port Dickson is called “Summer Trip”

Meikuan who is my house mate,an assistant secretary of an upcoming event. Today i had a meeting with the secretary in the library. In the process, she was talking about her problems like having no time to eat or sleep. She even cried yesterday due to the overwhelming pressure. For the whole time, my friend was just confessing her problems and made me feel pity for her .But after that, she just persuaded me to do something for her and if I didn't, it would make me feel guilty. According to guidelines, minutes of a meeting is done by the secretary. But in the end, she asked me whether she could do the minutes of the meeting for her or.

That is why it is considered an ad populum appeal to pity
