My Report Card for 2013

I remember when I was in school, whenever I scored well in my exams, I would make sure that everyone knew how well I scored even before they started asking; whereas, whenever I scored badly in my exams, I would make sure that nobody knew how badly I scored unless they started asking.

Yes, I have to admit. I was such a "kiasu". Even after so many years of toning down, I am still kind of "kiasu". Something that I should be proud of perhaps  :)

In the midst of facing my own "kiasu-ness", a sentence suddenly appeared in my mind:

"Accomplish or do not begin." ~ school motto of Bukit Mertajam High School

Even though I did not achieve all the things which I have listed in my Resolution for Year 2013, in lieu with the spirit of the above motto, I still think that I should give myself a personal assessment of how well I had fared in 2013.
