Ah, what a lovely thought! The reference point in this scenario is the lamp post itself. By saying the boy is sitting 5 meters east of the lamp post, we are using the lamp post as a fixed point of reference to understand the boy's position in relation to it. Just like when we paint a happy little tree next to a peaceful little stream, it helps us create a clear picture in our minds.
