when its past midnight

When we were in high school, we used to create elaborate theories about the world. For example,

1. The most kiasu* people are those who call others kiasu.
2. The truly rich do not feel a need to flaunt their wealth.
3. The people who complain the most are the least stressed.

When I look back I realise that the world does not exist in black and white.

*kiasu = 'afraid of losing'; antonym = bochap (don't care)
Yikes, they actually did a study and found kiasuism alive and well in Australian undergraduate students. Examples of kiasu behaviour - stowing reference books on different shelves, elbowing one's way in crowded lifts, and studying before semester commences. Click here to read. (heh, quite funny actually)
