Class is still continuing even though my final exams had finished. So as days passed, only 5% of my classmates were sitting next to the wall and 2% of them were left sitting in the middle of the class. During class, the teachers showed no interest in teaching and just let us sit in a circle and talk lots of nonsense. My class (that's usually noisy and utterly annoying) became more silent as days passed because 50% of them left to watch the basketball match at both the main hall and the basketball court and that is when I realised that I needed to do something that I always wanted to but never dared to: lepak.
Lepak, defined as (especially for young people) spending one's time aimlessly loitering around (a certain area). We went and sat at the coloured bench in the hall and mentally supported our class girls' team for the basketball match. Sports, especially the ones that involve balls never grabbed my attention, and sitting on the bench for 30 minutes from time to time was ABSOLUTELY boring. I wasn't really focused on the game, but I glanced from time to time as they dribble and shoot the ball into the hoops. How can I focus on the game when I have the urge to play with my phone, holding it my hands and looking up every time a cheer has been erupted as the ball close to the hoop?
10-4, they lost, but not a single glimpse of disappointment was shown on their faces as they proudly walked off the court, for we all knew that it's not about winning but the fun they had while playing basketball.
