Due to the stereotype of the society, Geek is not someone to be praised even it is not the spotlight of the crowd. Geek actually is not a favorable word. Greek can be referred to the dictionary as someone who is intelligent in particular interested subjects but not fashionable or popular. Typically, Geek’s personality is described as they are poorly socialized, disconnected from the others that they feel comfort within their own zone, and they seek for something that more than his real own life in an unrealistic way. For example, Sci Fi Geek loves to immense in his defined ideal Sci-Fi world, imagine himself/herself live virtual world, and strongly believe in the future that his/her memory and conscious can be stored in a chip and able from an old dead body to a self -designed synthetic’s body.

 

Geeks are insane and mad.

 

 This seems like a harsh description about the Geeks. However, the geeks were unique in the way that they actually put in effort turning unrealistic imagination into the realistic stuffs. The Geek is someone potentially that make a change in the society. They are so interested in the subjects until they even want to apply the subjects’ knowledge in the reality. The Geeks’ imagination and creativity are limitless and they are not restricted by the judgmental of the ordinary people’s views. They are willing to risk to cross the reality’s boundary to find the ideal land. To be accurate, they are not mad, they are insanely intelligent. Who will know that the most popular brand for button-like cell phones in 2000s, will be defeated by a brand-new touch screen cell phones-The Apple by a Geek inventor called Steve Jobs?

          Thinking it over, I decided that ‘lala’ is basically a person who tried to make themselves look like a hooligan, not only by appearance but also their attitude. They are not necessary a bad person, some can look like a ‘lala’ where some can act like a ‘lala’. We can also define them as gangster wannabe. Those ‘lala’ are always trying to show that they are rebellious and think they look cool with rubbish attitudes.

          I visited Sungai Wang once, there were boys wearing earing, dyed ginger hair and popped collar. Somehow, they dress like an uneducated punk and made the place looks like a ‘lala’ land.

          A ‘lala’, then, is a person who tries to make himself looks cool and rebellious, but they are not cool at all. They have no grace, they have bad attitudes, they are all just immature ‘kids’ who are trying to look cool and gain popularity by their attitude.

The name ‘teacher’s pet’ seems like it already put its meaning on the table, which means those annoying students who kisses up to the teacher and does a bunch of favors for the teacher. The kind of student who raises his hand for every single question and even buys expensive gifts for their teacher. Some of these kind of students thinks that they are superior to their peers because they are teacher’s favorite and therefore they bosses everyone around. They will also tattle on their peers for insignificant rules they might break. There is a well saying that says: ‘When someone begins to show kindness without reason or cause, he must be conducting something evil or obscene.’ Not to say those students who act as their ‘teacher’s pet’ so fervently and with a lofty tone. Even a pet dog would wish for dog biscuits from their owner when it finishes its owner’s request, not to mention human being. These students mostly don’t act so because he or she wants to be a good student, conversely, they are trying to gain extra advantages such as good grades from their teachers for doing so. 

Well in my sole opinion, it is a norm in society for humans to possess a selfish character or in other words, ‘kiasu’. For example, the urge to win in every conversation you are having or even to buy loads of items during a big promotion are all describing ‘kiasu’ in general.

The term ‘kiasu’ is originally translated directly from Hokkien dialect. ‘Kia’ is known as feared or worried and ‘su’ is known as defeated in Hokkien. Joining them together simply means ‘fear of being defeated’. It is in human nature for us strive for the best for ourselves and hoping we stand out in the whole community of people or benefit ourselves and to achieve that, some of the people will act selfishly towards others.

Secondly, ‘kiasu’ can also be described as a person who is greedy. In a hustle and bustling society, I’m sure we all can relate to that one person who doesn’t give seats to prioritized citizen while using the public transport. This people often prioritize themselves for their wellbeing without thinking about others.

Thirdly, ‘kiasu ’individuals crave for attention more than anybody else. For example, some of the company’s state that they are donating a large sum of money to the needy and they want it to be published on social media to spread awareness, but in the end, their main purpose is just to promote their companies name virally. This ‘kiasu’ individuals will end up donating just that once because in the end, its always about keeping up with the Joneses without an untainted heart.

‘Kiasu’ isn’t always bad as it seems. ‘Kiasu’ can also act as a motivation towards for us to achieve our goals. For example, as a student, I tend to spend my free time studying, reading and doing exercises just to make sure I could achieve excellence in my studies. Setting goals is life is a very important aspect in our life because it allows us to keep pushing to our limits which makes us discover the undiscoverable. 

Well I do think that every good thing has its drawbacks and vice versa, and it same goes to a ‘kiasu’ person. As the famous multimillionaire apple founder, Steve Jobs once said “stay hungry, stay foolish”.

 

 

 

 First of all, drama queen implies it’s a girlie thing. It’s not. Males and females alike are equally capable of requiring way more energy than a relationship with them is worth. Drama, being a close kin to high maintenance, may manifest itself in behaviors that look different across the continuum of masculinity to femininity, but make no mistake, drama kings are every bit as real as drama queens. A drama queen could also be described as a diva, a neurotic and self-centered perfectionist prone to sudden demands and outbursts. A diva is also usually considered to be exceptionally talented, however, which is not always the case with a drama queen. She may be jealous or envious of others, which could make any personal failings even more painful and trigger another round of emotional outbursts or irrational thoughts of revenge. In her world, people can be either with her or against her; there are no stages in between.

 If you call someone a drama queen, you mean they react to situation in an unnecessarily overdramatic or exaggerated way. Drama queen thrive on attention, but that’s because they learned to feel invisible and unimportant. This is where the idea of drama comes from. They are merely trying to convince themselves, and also by trying to convince others, that’s matter the most. Drama queen are bind to the feelings of others and failed to develop the coping skills for and adult life
