We are also allowed to speak our own mind in a less pressured surrounding as well as expressing what we want to say. v. We also can exchange ideas on various matters about our private secret, books, movies, cuisines and also global occurrences and expressing our own self-belief on something like intellectual discussions. The opinions come automatically from our sentiments. We would know ourselves better with it. vi. Besides, when we discuss about our problem and share them with our friends, they can give their own opinions on the solutions for the problems. Or maybe they could solve the problems together with us.It is graceful and charming when we get the help from our friends. vii. For the entertainment activities, it is joyful and interesting to hang out with a large number of friends. (Transition: A lot of benefits have been noted. How about the drawbacks of having such activities?) Disadvantages: b.We were brought up to believe that hang out is a bad thing, a poison of society. Undeniably, yes, it does have negative effects as well. i. Just imagine yourself, sitting at the cafeteria, talking craps with your friends and when you guys come to your senses, it is already time for the cafeteria to close? ii. You don’t even realize how much time has been wasted and how many things could have been done during those conversations you had. iii. Besides, it is also a waste of money. iv. Just ask ourselves, how much money has been wasted on transportation, foods, bowling fees and stuffs when we went outing in the weekend? v. You also may not realize how much effort has been tired out during these activities. vi. Once you reached home, you will definitely be too exhausted to finish your assignments. vii. Problem may arise when one or two close friends are not available for the leisure activities, as a result, staying at home may probably be the only way to spend the time. viii. We do voice our opinion concerning the matter but at the end of the day, we have our own lives to worry about rather than busying ourselves with other people's matters. Conclusion: i. My fellow friends are very open-minded loafers. ii. Back to my schooldays, we talked about pregnancy and more. One of my friend wishes to have 11 children. We did not talk about the beauty of being pregnant, but the horrific part of it. iii. These are among the very many things loafers usually talk about and discuss. iv. I think that's why Malaysians need not much therapy in general. Who needs that when we have our own kopitiam and mamak stalls? v. So long as hanging out is still a predominant activity in Malaysia, then no worries people, our sanity would still be hanging on a good balance, hopefully.
