Words of the Week
Kiasu

Grasping, selfish attitude. Competitive to the point of doing anything to just to win. Cannot bear to lose.
Literally means afraid to lose out.
Usage: John is so kiasu, he started queuing for the free movie tickets since last night.
Related word: Kiasee
Kiasu & Kiasee might sound similar but they have a definitive difference.
Kiasu: Scared to Lose
Kiasee: Scared to Die
So given these points, which camp are you in? Kiasu or Kiasee
