Day Eight : Days in a wannabe punk life

- Last time when I was in secondary school I used to join a group name Punk. Punk is one of the most dangerous groups which they do the bad things. Most punkers are against "Selling out", the act of giving into main stream things, such as buying high priced clothes or being "trendy". The traditional punkers wore 501 Levis or tight plad pants known as bondage trousers and usually wear band t-shirts or beaters and leather jackets as well. Most of them are wearing army boots and also have their hair in some sort of spike form, be it "Plain spikes", a 'hawk or liberty spikes, although the hair can be anything, these are the most popular. Punkers are also people who listen to, and live for punk rock. (Ad populum appeal to tradition) Plus I even can remember some of Punk song which is called "Symbol of Hope”, No Problem" by Darryl Richardson and "Never Scared" by Clifford Harris. This is because my big brother is one of the gang and he has many followers in this gang. So I decided to join this group to so that I have many followers and back up same as him without know the reason. (Ad populum appeal to common practice) Now, I realize there is nothing to do with this group and after all, wasn’t I jumping to conclusion? Isn’t life all about giving chance to people?

- Whoever chooses to follow the right path, follows it but for his own good; and whoever goes astray, goes but astray to his own hurt; and no bearer of burdens shall be made to bear another’s burden.

Day Eight

- I finally finished my critical thinking assignment. I'm quite happy about it and I wish I could get full mark for this assignment. Before i send my work to Mr Nicky, I do some final checking with good friend of mine which is Alan. While checking my assignment,I found that there is a mistake that I done. So, I do some correction it to make it better. Alan said that during his time taking this subject, it was assigned to make his own creativity diaries using hand writing, while when it was my turn to take this subject, I only have to sit in front of the computer typing my diaries in the blog. It's lucky for me by not taking this subject earlier as him.

- This morning, I'm going to clinic because my stomach didn't feel very good. i had this stomach ache since yesterday. I was very tired and did not attend my class and quiz (BCT 1024) in the afternoon. So, I decided not going to the class.
(Valid Argument)
In the clinic , i waited for about 2 hours to see the doctor. finally, it was my turn. I'm shocked to see a female doctor in the room. i heard that a female doctor will be very strict and not so friendly with the patient.
(Argumentum a silentio)
After having a few words with her, I realize that I'm wrong. The doctor was so friendly. After she checked my stomach and she asked me a few questions, she finally gave me medicine and advise me not to drink any carbonated drinks. Now, I can see that the doctor is a very kind-hearted person. (Assumption)
As a result, not all female doctors are strict and not friendly to the patient. We cannot judge a person by his/her gender.
