Get the kiasu mug.Kiashten is a small creature with a strong love for music and friends. It is an herbavor, and is often seen nude, high, or not seen at all just because. It lives in the outskirts of town but never comes home, and is often seen with the TorThor. Its favorite things to do include: hide around doors and throw large objects in the TorThor's path, just to see it fall down, then feel bad and help the TorThor out, make music, explore in the rainforest, goldfish, and glitter.

Get the kiasa mug.FOMO 2.0, which is about unhealthy or selfish fear and insufficiency. A Hokkien word for the oft-irrational fear of not getting enough or of losing out to others.
Members of the public in Singapore had to wait until February to get hold of the 2021 primary one math textbooks and workbooks, which is based on the new MOE syllabus, because a number of kiasu tuition center owners had called the bookstores in December to reserve dozens of these new titles, leaving zero copies for those who couldn’t buy them from school bookshops.
