Free Market? Ape tu?

Cerita basi lagi. Haha

Tiba2 berkobar2 semangat Mr H nak bawa anak2 gi swimming kat Pusat Sukan Air, Putrajaya. Ni lah tempat kami bw anak2 berjalan yang paling cost-effective. Hehe

Canang cerita bagai kat ank2 hari sebelumnya. Tup2, masa sampai sana, kolam tutup. Alahai frustnya...

Pusing keluar dari Pusat Sukan Air tu. Masa lalu jkat Dataran Gemilang, nampaklah banyak kereta stop kat bahu jln. Nampak mcm ada carboot sale. Alang2 dah sampai, kami rikilah kot2 ada spot baru boleh masuk.

Masa masuk area Dataran Gemilang tu, nampak keadaan bercelaru. Orang ramai sgt. Banyak barang yang displayed. Ada atas meja, ada atas lantai. Appearance macam pasar pagi.

Rupa2nya, ni lah free market..

I've read about this on FB for some time. Then baru teringat pasal post Syed Azmi's programme related to helping the underprivileged and the homeless. So this is it lah....

Banner nampak sayup2 je. Tak larat nak rempuh crowd tu

Masa ni katanya banyak barang dah kurang. Ini pun dikatakan kurang. Tak taulah camana keadaan kalau kami sampai awal lagi

Sangat suka bunting ni

Konsepnya sgt mudah:
Semua free. Yes. Free. Syarat nak ambil barang:
1.  Bagi salam / tegur dengan hello.
2.  Minta secara baik.
3.  Ambil ikut keperluan dan jangan tamak.
4.  Ucap terima kasih.

Barang2 yang di offer:
Pakaian
Tudung
Toys
Books
Furnitures
Cooked food
Beras, sardin, gula, garam, susu manis, susu tepung, minyak masak, kicap, sos
Bayam, kangkung, sawi, kubis
Dental checkups
Health checkups
Facial
Khidmat mengurut

Tapi antara banyak2 benda yang ditawarkan, I think the best is main bubbles percuma. Seronok sgt tgk budak2 main bubbles unlimited rounds!

Main sampai basah baju dengan peluh dan sabun

What did we took?

1 batang tebu, and 2 biji belon

Hahaha. Actually ada rasa nak ambik barang lain. Tapi bila tanya hati kehendak atau keperluan, it always seemed to be kehendak. Sedangkan barang2 kitorang yang tak digunakan pun dah kami carbootkan, ni nak tambah lagi unnecessary things in the house. Tak naklah. Lepas bincang2 dgn Mr H, we agreed not to take anything else. Tebu tu pun sebab rasa teringin and susah nak beli kat tempat lain.

Memang sangat sesuailah ada free market ni terutamanya waktu2 ekonomi kita yang terumbang ambing sekarang. Kalau dpt beras 5kg sekampit, you can save about RM10, kalau dpt gula sepeket dah jimat RM3 duit dapur. After the exhilaration of seeing everything is free to be taken, baru it dawn on me that this is Putrajaya. Putrajaya man.. With government servants, with stable paychecks every month. And yet, here we are asking for free food. Sedih kan? What is happening to our economy? To our country? Kalau kita kerja kerajaan pun begini, bayangkan orang yg kerja swasta, gaji lagi kecik dari kita. Allah sedihnya..

Tengah seronok lagi berpusing2 market ni, guess who we bumped into?

The small lamb himself!!

It really was an honour to meet him. I've followed his numerous projects on FB. Orangnya sangat humble and down to earth. A soft spoken person but very determine. Dialah yang mengajar saya kalau kita nak buat good deeds, tak perlu duit berkepuk2, ada majlis grand2 nak beramal jariah. We can do it in our own quiet ways.

On our way to the car, you can see happy faces everywhere. All is good. It really was a happy morning expedition for us.
