!!!!

I've met a few friend's at terminal having lunch. While having lunch, there are one of my friend's friend come over and approach him. He was so amazed with that girl and she said, 'where have you've been all this days??You know that we can have a good chat if you're going out with me?. He keeps on praising the girl so that he can go out with her. I was listening and i smile a bit. Why he is so desperate?hehehehe...I just can relate this situation to a fallacy which is called Ad Populum appeal to vanity.

hehehehe

Last Sunday, i went to my friend's house. She invited me to have lunch at her house in Puchong. So, i went there with my other friend and we had lunch. She has a twin sister. Her twin sister is getting married by end of May. So, her mother invited me to come over to her house during the wedding. Then, i was joking to her and say, 'Bile u pulak nk kawin?U jeles eh?'. She gave me one look and say,'mane ade i nk kahwin, i tak jeles pon'. She is denying everything. But, the way she talked to me, they she react is showing that she is jealous to her younger sister. Then there are one statement come out which is, ' i do want to get married, but i just want to have a boyfriend first'. This statement i think its not clear...i was thinking, maybe this is a vague statement.

......

This situation happen a few minutes ago, which is, i had a chat with my my housemate about career. We're chatting and one of my housemate said that he wants to get a job in order to have his own pocket money. I was thinking, that is normal for everyone. If they work, they will earn a salary for a month. But right after that, he is explaining that he needs to help his mother. I was so sad and he also wants to bring his grandmother to Haj. He makes me believe and i know his situation. It is true, and i can say that this is what i can called, Ad populum appeal to pity.

Other than that, i also can made assumptions about him, which is he is a good boy who wants to help his mother and grandmother. Other than that, maybe he also wants a pocket money or maybe he wants to at least go to shopping to buy anything that he really wants.

Yesterday, i was reading an article in www.soccernet.com about Ronaldinho. He is a great footballer but unfortunately now he is injured and he is out of form since early of the football season in September...right now he is injured until end of season in June. Too bad for him. But in the article yesterday, they say about Ronaldinho is moving to Italian club, AC Milan. I made an assumption which is, his current club Barcelona doesn't want him and ready to let him go because he is out of form. Then, he is currently injured and Barcelona are wasting their money to this kind of player. Rather than wasting their money, it is better to sell him for 16 million euro to AC Milan.

Then, later in the evening, i read a new article about Ronaldinho again. Right now it is about, Inter Milan is also chasing him to the club. The Milan based club wanted him so badly. They join AC Milan to get his signature. I made another assumption that he still a very good player and he is becoming a legend. So, what was Barcelona thinking of let him go?? That is ridicilous..In this situation, i can say Barcelona want to sell him maybe because the club have debt to settle or maybe he doesn't want Ronaldinho anymore because he doesn't suit with the team plan tactics. But what is wrong with tactics?? They even won a Champions League with Ronaldinho...Basically, i can say, maybe Ronaldinho wants a new challenge in new club.

~My Bad~

continue with my story before...i was so angry and pissed off with one of the contestant's boyfriend. All of bad things has come out of my mind. I was telling this to my other band mates and they know me better because the situation happen in front of them too. I even telling them i want to boycott her girlfriend on stage. That is very unprofessional behavior. It is just my thinking, i know i shouldn't do that..i even ask my band mates to boycott her girlfriend's too. I realize that this is a fallacy that called ad hominem abusive. i assume that he is not a nice person, arrogant, selfish, but i do not know him. it is just my first impression...I attacked his character.That is so not good of me..I am sorry..My bad!!

~hhhmmmm~

last monday night, i had a session with all the solo contestant for Gema competition. As a music director, i want them to familiar with the band because the band will back them up on the stage throughout their performance.

but there are one contestant who comes with her boyfriend. They went in the studio and i ask them to sing the song that she choose. At first, the flow of music looks very well and the contestant herself very comfortable with her singing with the band. i am relieved because she can sing with my new arrangement of music. But there are one problems which her boyfriend interupt our session with his fierce face and he is asking me, 'wei, kenape lagu ni berubah? kau buat ape dengan lagu ni?'. I was so pissed of and angry. I just cannot think anymore but one of my band mates cool me down. I take my time after that explaining to him that there is nothing wrong with the music arrangement. It is a new kind of music. I had to react professionally eventhough he attacked my ability as a musician. So i think about it back, it is a fallacy that i called ad hominem circumstantial.

~ Hectic ~

for the last two weeks, my schedule was very tight and i am so tired with all the events happen from weeks to weeks. but what can i do? i've already involve with those event. hopefully everything will be done by 16th of April. i think this is my last performance and my last event in MMU....i was selected to be a music director by Gema committee. the event will be held on 16th April...with the experience that i have, im trying my best to give a great music and sound to the crowd. that is my responsibility..
Yesterday, i had a practise session with my band mates in the studio. we will play 5 songs and 4 medley songs which is very hard to memorize all the part. but we are trying our best to complete everything to satisfy the committee, the crowd and everybody. but yesterday, i dont have the guts to make everything done like i use to do...i just feel the pressure because of the event is around the corner, my studies, personal things and many more...but my band mates understand me well, they encourage me to do the job. they know i can handle the situation well and they know my knowledge of music can give them the satisfaction. not only for the musician, but to everybody. This is a real hectic situation. After one problems come another problems. This is a fallacy which i can say ad populum to indirect consequences or Slippery Slope argument.
