Entry #1
Intrinsic motivation is the motivation of self-satisfaction of doing things. One will do a
better job when enjoy doing it just by that purpose. For example, every morning before
going to campus, I use the free time to cook myself breakfast. Most of the time will be
egg on toast, if not, it will be just instant noodle but I try to cook egg instead of instant
noodle because I enjoy taking my time cooking rather than having an instant meal.
Since semester one of my foundation I have always been going out to eat with my friends
and I have never once cooked at home but when I started semester two, I have been going
out less to eat since my friends was still on holiday. Then I have been getting lazier to go
out of the house, so I started to buy rice one day so that I could cook at home instead of
going out everyday because of that my every weekend when I go back to my cousin
house myAunt will buy chicken and chop them to pieces to give it to me. I have then
started to love cooking more and have the curiosity of trying to learn what else I can do
by myself.
Entry #2
Extrinsic motivation is the motivation of completing a job in return of getting a reward.
For example, I would clean the toilets of my apartment when my friend told me to. Why?
That time when my friend asked me to clean the toilet, he also stated that I would get a
free meal of Kaima at Lorong. I immediately agreed. Getting a free meal just for cleaning
the toilet? Why not. After I got back from campus that day, I went to clean up the toilet
immediately before he got back. It got me motivated so much just for such a small reward.
As long as it is a free meal that I love to eat, I would do it again.
Entry #3
Social facilitation occurs when a person is performing in the presence of others yet their
individual contributions are noticed. For example, for my first business assignment, we
had to create a group of four. For this assignment we have to present a slide about our
business. Every time when we have a meeting, there's this one guy that hardly appear
until the our final meeting he finally appeared. Everyone were worried about his part of
his slides since he haven't even completed it and the next day was already the day for the
presentation early morning around 8am. During the presentation, we volunteered to be the
first group to present and it was quite a shock when he presented it. He managed to did
his part and everyone was happy about it. Until now, I still remembered how he
performed...it was better than mine. I had to admit.
Entry #4
Persuasion, an attempts to influence other's attitudes or behaviors. During my Economic
class, Mr Joe our lecturer told us that we will be having a trip to either Pinang or Melaka.
Majority of our class picked Pinang. He also told us that we will be doing an assignment
mixed together with English, Effective Public Communication and Economics and we
have to choose a business to interview one at Pinang and one in Klang Valley. At first the
price was for the trip was RM150 but due to being a Public Holiday on 1st May we had to
pay RM200. I didn't bother about the price because I have already been persuaded. I've
been there once and I love everything about Pinang. The food there is great and I would
love to have some Char Kueh Tiaw again.
Besides, I believe that this trip would be way better than our semester one trip at Kulim,
Kedah which was horrible. We had to live in a dorm of 16 people without
air-conditioning and some of my friends bathroom didn't have water but this time Mr. Joe
told us that we will be staying in a 3-star hotel minimum. As long as I heard the word
hotel, I was relief and happy and we will be living together with around 3-4 people for
each room. I was easily convinced by the offer and I had to regret of doing so.
Entry #5
On 20thApril 2015, I learn about Stereotypes during Social Psychology lecture. At that
time I thought to myself thinking whether that I am a stereotype or not. Well, ever since I
was young I went to a Chinese Kindergarten school and I only have Chinese friends but
after I reach primary school I studied at a government school and I made lots of friend
from different races Chinese to Malays and I did not think anything wrong with them and
I don't think I am a stereotype but I still unconsciously prefer going to the shops and stalls
from my own races up until I finally went into University. I now no longer care where I
go, I would even love to go to a Mamak stall to eat IndoMee instead of eating Chinese
restaurant and eat Fried Kueh Tiaw.
