the brain is thinking

last night was a tiring night, as a college student i have to finish my assignment on time.

i have a bad habit. I used to start doing the assignments last minute time, so i would done it in a rush. well, now, iam trying let it go. :)

the assignment is a group project, and ive chosen to become the group leader for this project. so, last night, we did the assignment together, until the morning comes.hehe

before we did the assignment, i did a brainstorming session, so, all of the members will be more creative and, ideas would come out from their mind.

i was following the 6 steps in leading a brainstorming session, i defined the problems, than review the member the 3 brainstorming rules, did a creative warm up exercise, in this session i was using my ashtray to make their think creatively, and then i conducted the brainstorming session, then i collected all their ideas, and it done with a good result.

thank you

you are good buddy

i used another topic from BCT this morning.

it just happened like...eerrmmm... like it was happen (?).

i have a housemate, his name is vicky, we called him burki. because of, there was a famous gym instructor named vicky burki.hehe, so we just call him burki.hahahaha

so, burki was on his way to the bathroom, to took his shower, so did i, he was like wanted to go first to the bathroom when he saw me who wanted to do the same. but, because i was in a rush, it was already late for me to go to class, but i have to attend it. so i yelled to him " burki, let me go first, i have a class", but he refused it, then i practiced my skill to him,"come on bur, you are already handsome, even without taking shower", and he smiled, and let me go first to the bathroom.hahhaha. good friend of mine he is.*yoda's way of talking*hehe. and i go to the class, confidently.hahaha

thats all folks. good day. have a great ramadhan

the tourist - radiohead

It barks at no-one else but me,
like it's seen a ghost.
I guess it's seen the sparks a-flowin,
no-one else would know.
Hey man, slow down, slow down,
idiot, slow down, slow down.

Sometimes I get overcharged,
that's when you see sparks.
They ask me where the hell I'm going?
At a 1000 feet per second,

hey man, slow down, slow down,
idiot, slow down, slow down.

Hey man, slow down, slow down,
idiot, slow down, slow down.


Radiohead is my favourite band, in the same level with bjork, in my list*hehe
and i just amaze with this song and lyrics. it is just great.
the song is written by jonny greenwood-the guitarist-, while radiohead in france, he saw an american tourist who look at every object in a rush.like there was no time for the tourist to enjoy the object.

so, enjoy your life. ^^

begging for nothing

hello again with me...hahahahaha

eerrmm, actually i wanted to introduce my self in this post. so, here we go

my name is arizal putra pratama
iam from bandung, Indonesia (yes, it is a great city)
iam a 20 years old boy
iam college student in MMU cyberjaya Malaysia, its a great university, in a desert like city. cyberjaya is just HOT !!!
well, thats enough i think :p

ok go to the main problem..
since iam an international student, and far from my parents. i am always having a financial problem in the end of the month. my parents send me money in the beggining of month and it ends up with me lend some money from my beloved friends :)

it was Reza who became my victim this noon.hehe
i asked him to lend me some money, and i would pay it next month.

since iam taking BCT this semester, i practiced the knowledge that i got from this subject, and it was AD POPULUM FALLACY APPEAL TO PITY. so, i went to his house, and had this conversation

Me: rei, may i borrow RM 50 ? i will pay it next month.
Reza: what for ?
Me: for eat. i dont have money now, i have only eating noodles since 3 days ago, if i continue my life like this, my stomache will be broken into pieces.
Reza: ok, but pay it next month.
Me: thank you my friend.

..end of conversation..

thank you rei, you are my savior..

drive carefully

The Dark Knight

Ledger : Bale, let’s go to the movies, there is a new Batman movie; I heard the movie is great.
Bale : Ah, no man, I have my BCT assignment to finish.
Ledger : What? You know, today is Friday, and you are going to sit in front of your computer and doing assignment? Come on dude, what is wrong with you, become a smart head all of the sudden.
Bale : Yeah man, I have to submit it by Monday.
Ledger : Gosh, you know what? You are not cool, cool people go to movies, or anywhere to have fun in weekend. Come on dude, doing assignment in weekend is the last thing I want to do.
Bale : Whatever buddy, today, I want to finish my assignment.
Ledger : Up to you, I am going to have some fun.
Bale : Sure, have it.
Ledger : Later then.
Bale : See you

A little sketch above is about two friends, who had argued. They were arguing about the cool people who go to the movies on weekend. The bold sentences shows about what Ledger believe, he believes cool people go to some place on weekend instead of sitting in front of the monitor and doing assignment. It shows that he is using Ad Populum Fallacy appeal to common belief to persuade Bale to come with him and going to the movies together.

Well, that’s it for today; I am going to prepare for Buka Puasa.
Selamat berbuka puasa :D

happy ramadhan

since today, until the next 30 days, i will not having my lunch. i will not drinking water since morning until evening !!!!

iam not on diet, *LOL, i could not think what id become, if iam doing diet.* so, what in the world make you do not eat and drink during day ?

because...

today is the first day of Ramadhan !!!! and iam as a moslem, and all Moslem people is the world are going to fast from Fajr until Maghrib for a month, starting from today, 1 September 2008. but still, eve with an empty stomach, we have to think logical and critical :p

ok. so what do i have for today ? i have a story..HAHAHAHA

the story gooeesss...

when i woke up this morning (well, i say 1pm is still morning, since today is a holiday :p), i was thirsty, but i could not fill my throat with water, because iam fasting. and actually, that moment is not the story i want to share now.

the story that i want to share know is about....

MY HOUSEMATE ASKED ME AN INTERROGATIVE QUESTION !!!

CAN U BELIEVE THAT ?!?!?!?!
INTERROGATIVE QUESTION !!!

it was Ryan who asked me the question, the dialogue went like this :

Real Version
Ryan : Jal, lo nanti mau buka puasa dimana ?
Arizal : Ga tau gue.

Translated Version
Ryan : Jal, where are you going to break your fast ?
Arizal : I don' know.

..........................

thats all i think, :D ,

thank you.

this conversation

i went to a concert last night. it was a hongkong band, they were good. the funny thing is, all of the audience, artists, and host were chinese.i could count, only 4 persons in that hall who wasnt chinese. me, my friends, and one caucasian guy. from this event, what are the things that relate to the critical thinking is this statement ==>

"all element in that concert was chinese, it made me feel like i was in China, not Malaysia"

that statement is SIMILE form.

anyway, Selamat Hari Merdeka to Malaysia !!!
