Recently, there have been a world cup fever going around the world. Although there is a time difference in Singapore and in South Africa, Singaporean are still staying up to watch the world cup at midnights. And normally the next day we could know who stayed up to watch the matches. World cup is one of the grandest world cup matches and it is only in every four years that we could get to watch world cup, therefore, many would rather sacrifice their sleeps rather to watch the world cup as it only happens in every four years.
During the world cup period, it can be seen that everyone's talking topics are mostly on world cup and the team they support. World cup causes people to have lack of sleep and feel very lethargic and this will result in students not being able to pay attention in class, not doing their work, etc. And working adults will not be able to concentrate in work and may make a mistake in their work.

Some adults will also try to bet on which team will win and this will increase the number of people that will be addicted to gambling. During this period, a lot of people are always seen at the Singapore pool outlets, there are also some that does illegal betting. Some may even borrow from illegal money lender just to bet on the matches and will get themselves into undesirable state.
