Ways to tell if you are kiasu
Academically:
- When the lecturer recommends a book, you run to the library later to borrow it and had the urge to hide all the other copies of the book
- When the lecturer asks to gather round, you immediately get up from your seat and speed walk to the lecturer hopefully getting a front row view eventhough you might be 6ft tall
- You arrive to class 30 minutes earlier to book the seat in front of the projector
- You get irritated when someone else taken your seat in class/ library/ lab
- Whenever a new book gets mentioned around class, you rush back to google the book's name and find out all the information you can about it
- You have at least 3 different books on the same area of study
- You have all the books in the photocopying shop
- You feel like studying when you see others study
- When someone mentions something you don't know, you feel your knowledge is inadequate and decide to study an extra 3 hours that day
- You have a countdown timer on your hp/computer to the exam's date
- You have your notes in your bag each time you go out
- When exam comes, you have at least the following items:
- 1x mechanical pencil +lead,
- 4x wooden pencils (in case mechanical pencil spoils)
- 3x pen (in case one pen after the other runs out of ink),
- 1x gel pen (in case the ballpoint ones fail on you)
- 1x eraser + sharpener
- 1x ruler (eventhough the exam wouldn't need it)
- 5x highlighter
- You quadruple check your pencilbox before the exam
- When sitting for gov exams, your pencils and eraser are all exam graded by Stabilo
- You buy a whole box of pencils each time a gov exam comes
- You bring your books on exam day eventhough there is no time for you to read
- When you have finished answering the questions, you look around to see if anybody has finished just to compare if you have finished the fastest
- You compare answers with your friends after the exam
- Then you compare the answers with the reference book and calculate how much you would be getting
- You countdown the days to the release of the results each day
- You phone/sms/msn your friends to ask about the results but is reluctant to reveal your own
- You get frustrated when someone else gets a better result then you
- You come 2 hrs earlier to a store that hasn't open when its having sales
- During sales you grab all the items that are on sale and later discard 50% of the items
- You feel irritated when other cars cut your lane
