:: SinGaPoRe cAr PLaTe ::


Today is a public holiday. I followed my sister and bro-in-law to Johor Bahru for shopping.


We shopped around for 3 hours and went to have lunch at somewhere near Nusajaya, a place which is closed to our neighbouring country - Singapore.



When we passed by a show house at residential housing area - Horizon Hills, my sister saw many cars parked along the roadside. Some of the cars were from Singapore.

My sister came out with the conclusion that all Singaporeans like to buy house at Nusajaya.
I found that her statement is having hasty generalization.
She concluded that Singaporean like to buy house at Malaysia just because she saw some of the Singapore's cars park nearby the show house.

BCT: HASTY GENERALIZATION

After dinner, I fetched my mum to hypermarket - Giant for buying some daily needs.


When my mum was buying the grocery, I went to the cold beverage area for looking my favourite drinks - Tropicana juice.

While I was searching for my favourite drinks, one of the brand at the rack caught my attention.

"Nestle - Yogurt Drinks"

"Tropical & Mixed Fruits??"

I was confused with the words.
How would the drinks taste?
What was the taste of drinks with combination fruits from pineapple, mango and etc.?
I was having 3 levels of feelings:
  1. Sensation
  2. Emotion
  3. Intrepretation

Sensation: The description of drinks caught my attention.

Emotion: Confused

Intrepretation: The taste of drinks

This morning after the breakfast, my aunt dropped by my house and brought her lovely grandson - Ryan. He was so chubby and adorable. He brought his whole collection of train - "Thomas & Friends". While I was playing with him, I realized that he could spell out certain words and named each of his toys .




"Thomas, Henry, Spencer . . . "


He named out almost all the toy he had.


I was so amazing that a two years old baby can spell out so many words. I uploaded some of his pictures which he was holding his favourite toys - "Thomas & Friends".



The thinking process that he used is semantic knowledge. It is about abstract knowledge, such as how to spell certain words or the meaning of concept.

Right after the BCT replacement class, my classmate and I went to have supper at Seri Kembangan. After settled down everything, it was already 11.00pm. While I was chatting with my friend, she complained to me that the lecturer in university is irresponsible.

I wondered why she said so.

She told me that the lecturer always say: "I won't cover this topic, you're suppose to know that."


I found out that her statement is invalid. How could she conclude the lecturer is irrespossible just because of the single event.

Premise: "I won't cover this, you're suppose to know that".
Conclusion: "the lecturer is irresponsible".
The conclusion follows probably from the premise but not necessarily.


BCT: INVALID STATEMENT
