Family trip to Bukit Cahaya Shah Alam...

December last year my parents came back to Peninsular Malaysia from the land of Kuching Sarawak. As our family gathers, my dad had given a suggestion to go to Bukit Cahaya located in Shah Alam. But we were thinking of going somewhere else such as the Taman tasik Titiwangsa in Kuala Lumpur. Dad does not like going into Kuala Lumpur, so he still intended to go to Bukit Cahaya by saying, "Bukit Cahaya is a better place to go for a family outing than Taman Tasik Titiwangsa. There are a lot of recreational activities that we can do. In fact, there is also a spot where we can lay down for some picnic. Also, the shop there does rent us a bicycle to go around the park. With this very determine statement of his, we could not say anything but agree to his wants. Since this is our first family gathering in the year 2007, so we had decided to go to Bukit Cahaya. "Yay...let's go." Everyone was in a very happy and jovious mood.

The travelling distance from our home in Puchong to Bukit Cahaya located in Shah Alam took us about 1 hour. So many things happens in the 1 hour of travelling....Aman, one of our brother wanted to vomit due to travellling sickness and our little sister Aishah cried wanting to go to the toilet...so they asked to stop at the petrol station. But my sister driving does not want to stop. So I told her "do you want to be responsible in cleaning dad's car if they vomit in here?"...well these are some unwanted events occuring those time.

As we travel down the long highway with many pit stop at the petrol station due to the above matters...we, finally reached Bukit Cahaya. Everyone got out from the van with tired faces and feeling lazy to walk. But everything changes when we entered the recreational park. "Wow!" everyone said in an astonishment. No kidding, it is like a heaven on earth. The park were crowded with flying birds and butterflies. We were ammused and touched by Gods' creation and power. Later we at the bicycle rental shop and took picture together.

After renting bicycle, we headed to the pony estate. The ponies were so much cuter compared to horse because they have some sort of star on their forehead. Our little brother and sister wanting to get a ride on the pony...but kak ngah said "riding a pony is as boring as riding a camels and donkeys, riding horse is much more better." Well of course she can't ride a pony because she's heavy and infact the pony itself is small in size. Later on our lilttle brother and sister went to ride the ponies with excited faces. I can see the joyful rythm inside them...super power to see through people huh...just like superman. Anyway, by cycling around the park we went to the traditional Malay village, sawah field, seasonal house, birds garden and much more that I just can't seem to remember much. But the point is, it is so nice being there with families and friends.

Hence, our journey and activities end with returning back the rented bicycle and heading back to the main exit....But "where are the others?" said my mom. So my mom, my sister and I walked through the park in search of my dad and my other siblings. We were very exhausted...and finally we found them. They were still playing around with their bicycle near the bird garden. My dad looks as if he does not want to go back home...really. He's the most excited person at that time I think.

Our high enthusiasm had gone down since it's late and nearly dawn for us to pack and get home. Everyone had came back to the main pit stop in order to walk to the exit together. Overall we were happy and satisfied with this trip. It really shows that Malaysia have it's own uniqueness just like other countries do. So go visit places in Malaysia!.

As we sat in the car....I said to my dad, "Dad, this is the best family trip ever for all of us. We appriciate you for bringing us to this park. Everything is great over there! You are such a nice father.Thank you so much dad. Since you are a nice father, can you sponsor us for a shopping at KLCC tomorrow?"

I can see my fathers' face ...he actually felt appriciated and thanked by his whole family for appraising him. Therefore he said to us..."Alraight! Tomrrow we all go shopping!" And so everyone shouts with excitement.

Here where it ends; we went back home and rest for tomorrows shopping day.

.THE END.

Implemetation from BCT Syllabus:

Here, I am using Fallacy to explain my family trip.

1. "Bukit Cahaya is a better place to go for a family outing than Taman Tasik Titiwangsa. There are a lot of recreational activities that we can do. Infact, there is also a spot where we can lay down for some picnic. Also, the shop there does rent us a bicycle to go around the park."

• Fallacy of Ambuiguity (The sentence confuses the listener/reader because it could refer to one thing or another thing and still make sense)
  

2. Aman, one of our brother wanted to vomit due to travelling sickness and our little sister Aishah cried wanting to go to the toilet. So they asked to stop at the petrol station. But my sister driving does not want to stop. So I told her "do you want to be responsible in cleaning dad's car if they vomit in here?."

• Material Fallacy : Ad Populum Appeal to Force ( Attempts to make you feel intimidated, or worried you, will be hurt unless you agree with the other person’s argument.)

3. Kak Ngah said "riding a pony is as boring as riding a camels and a donkey. Riding a horse os much better." Well of course she can't ride a pony because she's heavy and infact the pony itself is small in size!

• Material Fallacy : Ad Hominem circumstantial Fallacy (Looking at the circumstances surrounding the arguer and attack the motive.)

4. I said to my dad, "Dad, this is the best family trip ever for all of us. We appriciate you for bringing us to the park. Everything were great over there. You are such a nice father. Thank you so much dad. Since you are a nice father, can you sponsor us for a shopping at KLCC tomorrow?."

• Material Fallacy : Ad Populum Appeal to Vanity (Attempts to make you feel “special” so that you will be closer to the other person and tend to agree with his/her argument.)
