world is flat and is defining the word 'FREE'...

Something struck off my mind today when thumbelina asked me this question.

'can you tell me what is free in this world?'

thumbelina

First of all, this question can be dissected into two parts. The world and the word free. Second, these two words does in one sense really intertwined with the today's world's society which is so greedy.


Lets talk of the world now. It's flat. Not round. Suck those scientist and i don't care. World is flat of increasing economic and my pay is still flat like roti canai. Fortunately, it is also one of the most marvellous place to live when we are so populated with gameshows of changing one destiny. Please feel free to enter freely and ready to be freely get kick around. Definitely, the world has something going on. Now that the world is so big (... and flat) but we all share one big great thing that definitely even a small kid knows about it. That is the word 'Free'. How often do we feel excited and happy when we heard the word free?


For example, some stranger told you this, 'hey you got a free coupon and you can win this product!' Those who are smart and street-wise may straight away condemn the person until his or hers innard come out plus to the extent of not being recognized by his or her mother.

'Louh tou lia ma tou um ying tak leh'

it mean, 'scold until your mom can't recognize you'

Of course, there are some who are not so unfortunate and greedily grab the opportunity and later to feel so regret with their own action. Oops, but you say its free right? Henceforth, why the notion of getting cheated? This is because the word free often clouded our mind. To one extend gleefully and happily accepting the product. Although one may argued it is not free but discount. Well, one wouldn't want to give it totally free so free up some cost for you to buy into their trick. As simple as it is.


Yes, the word 'Free' is two sided in today's world. The other side would be the totally free and you get it without the exchange of something in return from the receipient.


For example, let's say you go to pub or disco. You drink and you are merry. The number of drinks were un-countable and your friends are so fun. Even the drinks taste like Coca Cola. You just drink. Night were getting wilder. Then came one good looking girl or so you think. She was drunk and you were drunk. Both of you saw each other so handsome and so beautiful. The next thing that happen to you was the most beautiful night ever happen to you. You got yourself laid. Not even that, it was more than a few rounds. You always dread having to buy things and paid for it. So you get it free because someone is willing to be with it with you. However, there is always one back side to get things "free" freely. You dread yourself why you were not sober because she was one fat ugly lady.


Fortunately, free is not as bad as it seems. Try to remember the times you were in the uni when you have the best buddy in the word to help you out:


1. "CEO, come lar, belanja me lar, PTPTN belum masuk" - "Free" food

2. "Brother, can do this assignment for me ar? Dunno lar, you can do it wan, i know!" - "Free" ride

3. " hic.. hic.. you are beau..tipoo hic.. hic... yum sing! lets come back to my house... you sweet thing" - "Free" F**K

4. "Murah!! Murah!! RM3 Buy One!! Free One!! - "Free" pirated VCD and those were the heydays!5. "I can pay my workers with peanuts!" - "Free" Slaves
6. You may add to this list... as long as you can think of the word free...


Now, the big question is, "do you think everything is free?" Blardy hell, even the air is not free. Why? Because we need to buy air filter and air ionizer. Otherwise, you die! Damn, those haze is coming back to Malaysia. Free is so subjective nowadays!


is sky the limit... let's be free and be happy!
