after reading chia how's blog (on the past incident that he in loved with a girl).. i've recap back that i've used a fallacy few weeks past while chating with chia how..

during that week i was not happy.. and he saw my personal message in MSN messenger..
"not happie.. smile and laugh doesn't mean that i'm happie".. after reading that, he was very curious of why i'm not happy..

i told him that i'm an emo person.. he said that girls are emotional.. there is sometime that i will be emotional and unhappy but i ownself don't know the reason.. so i admit that i'm emotional..

actually there is a reason why i'm not happy.. i did badly in mathematics for finance mid-term test paper.. sad to say that the question that i can't do, question that i've gave up was matrix!! i was really unhappy with it..

i told him i can't do matrix question. i got a strong feeling that i will get a bad result since i didn't perform well in the paper. additionally, our malaysian studies paper is tough. as a result, i've made a conclusion that i would not be able to get first class during this semester. and this is the very first sem i'm in MMU. this sem is all about the foundation subject, and if i can't get first class in this semester, i think that i would not be able to get first class in the future..



in this scene, it is obvious that i've been using the fallacy of ad populum appeal to indirect cosequences. in this case, i've assumed that if i wouldn't get high marks in my mathes paper for this sem, i will not be getting first class, and thus it is impossible for me to get first class in the future. yet, there isn't any proof showing that i can't get first class in the future is caused by the poor marks that i obtained for the subject of mathes in this sem.

today, one of my room mate(qing), took one of her bag out and the other room mate(Yy) said that there is someone saw Qing and said that she looks cool.. i asked her what do they mean by the word "cool".. and Yy said cool means cool!!..

in this conversation, Yy has used the vague word when she said that her friend said Qing is cool.. in what sense does she looks cool and what characteristics can one person can be described as cool? i don get the clear picture from that statement. the word COOL doesn't have a clear meaning in it..

another fallacy that was used by Yy is Pettitio principii. when i asked her what do they mean by the word "cool", she said cool means cool.. in this case, she doesn't give any reason on why they describe a person as cool.. it is clear that she has used pettitio principii in our conversation.
