When you get something without paying anything, it is free. Yet, it is so hard nowadays to get something free.
You go to primary school and secondary school, yeah, it is free education. Yet, we still need to buy textbooks, exercise books and stationery. We then reach University. Here, we have to pay more.
Now, back to the question, What thing in this world is free? The easiest answer is family love and supports. The unconditional help from family since our birth, is the special force that keep this world going. ~
Malaysian Hero, Dato Lee Chong Wei just beat Lin Dan in 3 sets in Korean Open 2012. He won Lin Dan once for every year for 9 consecutive years. Can he surpass his own record in London Olympic 2012?
Last year, Novak Djokovic certainly was the Man of The Year for tennis. He won 3 out of 4 Grand Slams (Australia Open, Wimbledon and US Open) . He also became No 1 in the ATP ranking, dethroned Nadal.
2012 will be an exciting year for tennis. Rafael Nadal, who is seen as the contender for Greatest Tennis of All Time will definitely find a way back to his best. And Djokovic ( Djoker) can only become a more complete player on court. And can Roger Federer bring back his best form in 2012?

Koo Kien Keat and Tan Boon Heong didn't make malaysian fans disappointed by winning the men doubles title.

1) The term "renewable energy" is not new to all of us. We know that renewable energy like solar, wind, biomass, and hydroelectric energy are better and more efficient compare to non-renewable energy like coal, petroleum and natural gas.
2) But there is a hard truth when it comes to developing renewable energy, the cost of making those solar panel, wind turbines and building those hydroelectric dam is simply too high.
3) The price of crude oil rose to all-time high last year June (which is $147). This is good because it forced energy companies to switch focus to generate electric power from solar panels and wind turbines. Unfortunately, the price of crude oil fall to around $40 now. This will slow down the development and progress of renewable energy.
4) According to Infoplease.com, the world's population in the year 1950 is 2.55 billion. As of February 2009, world's population is estimated to be 6.75 billion. The significant increase in world's population is due to several reasons. The advancement in science and technology has saved many life. Besides that, the healthcare system also enabled poor to receive healthcare service. Therefore, the demand for electricity will be overwhelming. People are using electricity in many ways, such as to power Air-Conditioner, light up the light bulb, and using the water heater. If we want to make sure energy production can match energy consumption, we have to commit ourselves to developing clean energy instead of increase our dependence on fossil fuel.
