Cast Away

I like tom hanks. His acting was great and most of his films were very good. Just now I watched his movie which it’s title called ‘cast away’. It’s not a new movie but I never get tired of watching it. It is about a man who survived in an empty island without food, friends to talk and clothes for 3 years. The greatness about this film is in how he manages to survive. He even use a ball drawed with his blood so it looks like somebody’s face as his friend. He use a stick to stab a fish. He drinks coconut everyday and do the same thing everyday for 3 years long. In the end, he saw a ship and build a raft to reach the ship. Finally he succeed and go back to the city. After watching this movie, I was thinking about what if tom hanks didn’t succeed in reaching the ship. Is he going back to the island and live there forever or what? I tried to re-make the ending to become a sad story like maybe he died when he tried to reach the ship or maybe a shark bit him. But whatever I did or how many times I made the ending different, It won’t get the academy award winner title for sure.

Good or Bad Waiter?

Today, I went to restaurant near cyberia with my friends. The restaurant was’t far so we could reach it just by walking. By the time I arrived, there were a plenty empty seats because it was 3 o’clock and it passed lunch time. We took a table near the television so we can watch while waiting for the food to arrive. Then a waiter came and asked us what we were going to order. Then he gave us the menu and all of us start to look at it. It was pretty confusing for me because it was the first time I ate there and I don’t which food was delicious and which food was not. Then my eyes found one food that quite interesting for me to eat. It was called Special Fried Maggie. It sound very delicious to me but I didn.t want to make a mistake. So I asked the waiter if the food was good or not. The waiter said that it was good. So, I ordered it without hesitate. After the waiter left, my friend suddenly said to me, “ are you sure that the Maggie is good?”. “well, the waiter said so”, I answered. “of course he said so, stupid. He’s the employee in here and he said that because he wants to get a profit so he can get a bonus by the end of this month.”. My friend was using Ad Hominem Circumstacial fallacy to deny that the food will be good. I didn’t know what to say. All I could do was just wait for the food to come and hoped that my friend’s opinion was wrong. A moment later, the food arrived and luckily, he was wrong.

Trip to KL part 3

I ordered a chicken blackpepper in secret recipe when my friend had some tuna. We sat outside so we could get a better view. And also it was too cold to sit inside. Then I asked my friend about why he didn’t want to go to kfc. I said that kfc was cheap and the chicken was also delicious. But my friend denied it. He said, “ even that it’s cheap, it’s not healthy. They use some kind of drugs to make the chicken bigger and probably use a lot of Scientific seasoning which make the food more delicious. You don’t want to eat that kind of food, right?”. He asked a leading question which force me to answered yes.

Trip to KL part 2

After spending about 20 minutes in KL transit, finally I arrived in KL sentral. I took a monorail and wait for my friend in Bukit Bintang Plaza. I waited in starbucks coffee because I was so thirsty. I ordered one vanilla Frappuchino which was my favorite. It was pretty crowded here maybe because today is Saturday and it is a time when people go to shopping or have some fun after five days working. But think of it again, it’s always crowded here. Maybe that was not the reason. Then someone called my name. It was my friend who I want to met, ardy. He sat with me then ordered some kind of coffee that I didn’t know. Of course I didn’t know because I always ordered vanilla frappuchino and all I know what starbucks have is only vanilla frappuchino and evian. And then I asked him if he’s hungry or not. He said that he’s pretty hungry because he had not eat anything since morning. So I suggest him if he want to eat in KFC. Then he said, ”what?haha.. Are you serious? What are you going to eat in that place?”. I want to answered that I want to eat chicken but I knew what he meant. There was an implicit conclusion inside his argument which means that the food there was not good. So I answered, ”alright, so where do you want to eat then? How about secret recipe?”. Then he said,”hmm..that’s better..ok let’s go!!”. So after finished our drinks, we went to secret recipes to eat.

Trip to KL part 1

Today, I went to KL because I want to meet with my friend. I took a bus from cyberjaya to putrajaya sentral which cost me about one ringgit. Then I took KL transit train from putrajaya sentral to KL sentral. It’s quite expensive because I only took a one way trip but it already cost me about nine ringgit. The trip took about 20 minutes, so it will be pretty boring if I don’t do anything. That’s why, once again, my Ipod had saved me. When the train was arriving at the platform, I stepped in and looked for the best seat. Then I turned on my ipod. Ten minutes had passed by but I still felt so bored. I turned off my ipod then and start starring to the beautiful scenery which I had from my seat. Suddenly, I heard someone talking to his friend. He said to his friend if she believed about the effect of smoking which can cause him to suffer lung cancer. “yes, of course..why?” applied his friend. “Nothing..just asking. Hey, do you remembered hasan, my cousin?” Asked him again. “yeah, he’s a nice guy..how is he?” said his friend. Then he answered,” actually hasan is having a lung cancer right now. I don’t know how, but I think it’s because he likes to smoke a lot. What do you think?”. “well, since smoking can cause lung cancer, I think smoking is really the reason why he has a lung cancer right now”, she answered. Then they had a long conversation about smoking which I couldn’t remember. I thought about the conversation just now. Well, they not supposed to make that conclusion because what they made is Affirming the Consequent. Just because smoking can cause lung cancer, it doesn’t mean that the cause of his cousin’s cancer is smoking. It could probably come from other factors like dust etc. what they did just now is making an invalid argument.

Let's go to Carrefour!!

Fasting month is coming very soon but we don’t have anything to eat in our refrigerator. The words ‘we’ means me and my housemates. Once we were thinking about just order it by phone. But when we think again, it’s impossible. Imagine the number of order that they have to delivered because everybody want to eat too after fasting all day long. We could have to wait for a year!! And by the time the food is arrived, we could have died because of hunger. So, when we think again, it was a bad plan.
Therefore, we have to change our plan to plan B. and that plan B is Buy rice cooker, stove and foods so we don’t have to order anymore. Everybody agree with plan b. Then, we decided to go to Carrefour to buy all the necessary things. But suddenly, my housemates lost their intention because if we want to go to carrefour, we have to go to alamanda, and alamanda is far. And also we have to rent a car. That’s a long journey. I keep thinking of a way to persuade them. Then I remember something about ad popullum appeal to indirect consequences which I‘ve learned in critical thinking class. So I said to them, “If we don’t go to Carrefour, we couldn’t cook for our meal, if we couldn’t cook, we definitely will fail our fasting, if our fasting fail, it will be a sin.and if we have a lot of sin then we will go to hell for the rest of our lives. Do you want to be like that?”.Fortunately, They start thinking about what I’ve said and after taking a pretty a long time to think, finally, they agree! So, a moment later, we leave our house and begin our journey to Carrefour. But suddenly, my friend ask a question, ”Do you guys have any money? i forgot that I don’t have any money in my bank. My parents haven’t sent me this month! Can I borrow yours? hehe”. then each of us begin to think again and try to remember about the amount of money in our bank. So, in the end, our trip to Carrefour cancelled because none of us has any money remaining in our bank.

Like A Stone

Audioslave
Like A Stone


on a cobweb afternoon
in a room full of emptiness
by a freeway i confess
i was lost in the pages
of a book full of death
reading how we'll die alone
and if we're good we'll lay to rest
anywhere we want to go

(chorus)
in your house i long to be
room by room patiently
i'll wait for you there
like a stone i'll wait for you there
alone

on my deathbed i will pray
to the gods and the angels
like a pagan to anyone
who will take me to heaven
to a place i call
i was there so long ago
the sky was bruised
the wine was bled
and there you led me on

in your house i long to be
room by room patiently
i'll wait for you there
like a stone i'll wait for you there
alone

and on i read
until the day was gone
and i sat in regret
of all the things i've done
for all that i've blessed
and all that i've wronged
in dreams until my death

i will wander on

Another boring day has accompanied me today. And as always, I can only use my ipod as my medicine. I turned on my ipod, then I start to listen to audioslave. I’m not much a fan of audioslave, but their songs are pretty god and easy to listen. The one that I’ve listened just now is called “like a stone”. If you just read the title of the song, you will wonder “what’s like a stone?” or maybe “does the singer like a stone as his dinner?”. Well, just keep on listening and you will find the answer. I’m still listening to their song and then finally I arrived on the chorus where the singer said “i'll wait for you there like a stone i'll wait for you there alone”. So, we got the answer. From here we can conclude that the writer is waiting for his (maybe) girlfriend so long and without doing anything like a stone. The writer is using simile in his song to describe his feelings and he create the title ambigue to make the listeners anxious about the song.

Brainstorming in the meeting

Just now, my society club arranged a meeting in my friend’s house. We talked about our finished event which we have done it last week and about the next coming event. I didn’t pay attention too much on their conversation because it was soooo boring. But suddenly, our leader said something about how to spread news to our member. I didn’t know why, but I began to think. Then, one of our member started to giving his idea. His idea was just tell everybody by sms. Then other members started to come out with their ideas like spreading the news by mouth to mouth, or by put it in some blog and many others. Then somehow, I just realized that what we had done just now is a material that we have learned in Critical Thinking class, which madam Aznur called it as Brainstorming. Yes, just now, we had a brainstorming session to solve what is the best ways to spread news to our members. And the first idea that came from one of our member is known as “Load Dumping”, which was a good way to begin.

The Note

Today is Thursday, and I’m so sick of studying marketing because tomorrow there will be a marketing exam that will be held in FOM building. It’s a very difficult subject and I hate it so much. But, if I want to get a good GPA, I have to pass this subject no matter what. That’s why i have been studying since Monday so I will get good mark. I hope. But, unfortunately, I’m still a human and I’m so tired. I need a break. That’s what I thought. So, I began to surf the internet, hunting for good picture, and guess what.. I found this picture.

“you mean more than the world may ever know”. Those words are written on the paper inside the picture. Then I began to think, that’s so sweet. Imagine if there’s some said that to you. It would be awesome right? Maybe the author who write on the paper tries to tell his/her friend that his/her friend means so much to him/her. It means so much that the author use a simile to represent how big the author’s friend means.
