I stripped open the plastic of the tofuhua container. It proved more difficult than I thought as it split towards the end. As I tried to take the whole piece off, it struck me just how reluctant I was to eat it yesterday, but now I open it without hesitation. Why? because it is expiring today.
Deadlines, expiry dates. I have a thing for them. Not sure if it is a good thing though.
It always amazes me how I could finish 3 pages assignment in a day when the deadline is just a week away, but couldn't squeeze half a page out of my brain when it is still a month till it's due. Even though I know the results would definitely be better if I started writing earlier.
Why? because I had the choice. Today or tomorrow. Before or after an episode of drama. To do or not to do.
It is always when I had no choice, when I had to try my best, then I will. It is almost as if I had to be forced to do it. Don't get me wrong, I want to do it, but wanting is not a strong enough incentive for me to give my best. It is almost as if I am addicted to the adrenaline rush. Am I? I hope not.
