Sometimes the best competitions are not about speed, strength or skill. Instead, they celebrate something everyone has probably done at least once – completely zoning out. If that sounds like something that comes naturally, then there is an entertaining event happening in Kuala Lumpur that deserves a place on the weekend calendar.
The ROWS Market has officially opened registration for the much-loved Space Out Competition V2, returning as part of the Capybara & Friends 8.0 event at LaLaport Bukit Bintang City Centre. After becoming a fan favourite previously, this amusing competition is making its comeback on 4 July 2026, inviting participants to embrace their inner capybara by doing… absolutely nothing.
It may sound simple, but that is exactly what makes this event so entertaining. Contestants will gather together to see who can master the perfect blank expression, remain calm under pressure, and truly demonstrate the art of spacing out. It is a refreshing change from the usual high-energy competitions and promises plenty of laughter for both participants and spectators alike.
Unlike traditional contests that require months of preparation, this one is all about attitude, creativity and keeping a perfectly relaxed state of mind. Whether someone naturally daydreams or simply enjoys quirky community events, this competition offers a memorable experience that is unlike anything else taking place in Kuala Lumpur.
A Competition Inspired by Everyone’s Favourite Capybara
Capybaras have become internet sensations thanks to their incredibly calm personalities and peaceful appearance. Their relaxed expressions have inspired countless memes, videos and social media posts across the world.
Now, visitors have the chance to imitate these adorable animals in a light-hearted competition that celebrates relaxation instead of competition in the traditional sense.
Participants will attempt to remain perfectly still while maintaining their ultimate “space out” expression. Although it sounds easy, staying completely composed while surrounded by cheering spectators and fellow contestants can be surprisingly challenging.
It is an event that focuses on having fun rather than taking home a trophy, although there are certainly exciting prizes waiting for the winners.
More Than Just One Winning Category
This year’s edition brings even more opportunities to win.
Besides crowning the ultimate Space Out Champion, organisers have also introduced several entertaining special award categories to encourage creativity and originality.
Participants can also compete for:
- Most Bizarre Space Out Posture
- Most Unique Space Out Attire
- Funniest Space Out Posture
These extra categories mean everyone has a chance to shine, whether through creative costumes, hilarious poses or imaginative interpretations of the challenge.
Instead of simply sitting quietly, contestants are encouraged to make the experience enjoyable for everyone watching.
A Perfect Weekend Activity
One of the biggest attractions of this event is its relaxed atmosphere.
Rather than rushing between activities or spending the day inside a shopping centre, visitors can head up to the beautiful Rooftop Garden at LaLaport BBCC and enjoy an evening filled with laughter, entertainment and plenty of amusing moments.
Friends can cheer each other on, families can watch contestants compete, and photographers will certainly have plenty of unique moments to capture throughout the event.
Since it takes place in the late afternoon, visitors can also spend the earlier part of the day shopping, enjoying meals or exploring the many attractions available around Bukit Bintang before making their way to the competition.
Why This Event Is Worth Attending
Events like these prove that community gatherings do not always need to be serious.
Instead, they bring people together through humour, creativity and shared experiences.
There are several reasons why this competition is worth checking out:
Firstly, it is completely different from the usual contests seen at shopping centres. Instead of singing competitions or sporting activities, this one encourages people to slow down and simply enjoy the moment.
Secondly, it offers fantastic photo opportunities. Whether someone is competing or watching from the audience, there will be countless amusing poses and hilarious expressions throughout the evening.
Thirdly, it provides an excellent opportunity to spend quality time with friends and family. Bringing along someone who is famous for daydreaming could make the experience even more entertaining.
Lastly, the additional prize categories encourage participants to express their creativity through costumes and imaginative poses, making every contestant unique.

Bring Along Someone Who Loves Daydreaming
Everyone seems to know someone who often stares into space while lost in thought.
This competition was practically designed for those individuals.
Whether they are famous for drifting off during conversations or simply enjoy relaxing, inviting them along could make the event even more enjoyable.
Even those who choose not to compete will likely have plenty of fun watching contestants attempt to remain perfectly expressionless while hoping to impress the judges.
Make It Part of a Kuala Lumpur Day Out
LaLaport Bukit Bintang City Centre continues to host a variety of engaging events throughout the year, and Capybara & Friends 8.0 is another exciting reason to visit.
After enjoying shopping, dining and exploring the mall, visitors can head to the Level 4 Rooftop Garden and experience one of the most unique competitions taking place this July.
With limited participant slots, entertaining prize categories and a relaxed atmosphere suitable for all ages, this is an event that promises plenty of smiles and memorable moments.
Anyone looking for something completely different from the usual weekend activities should consider registering before places fill up.
