imagine that u attend a buffet tt allows each person to use only 1 plate. what would ur action be?
1) take just what u can eat, nothing more, nothing less.
2) take more than what u can eat
3) take more than what u can eat, and continue to pile up ur plate, pushing ur own limits
i think my life is now like option 3.

m i biting off more than i can chew? when one eats too much food, there's not only the nagging discomfort in the bloated stomach to worry abt. one can vomit the half-digested food, leaving oneself n the surroundings in a mess. n there's the feeling that u'll never want to touch the same kind of food that u vomitted.
my plate is full, with barely enough space for each dish. i can still breathe, but if anything else gets added to the platter, my system will experience a nasty overhaul. i only hope that i don't mess up any of these things, for if i do, the lives of certain others will get messed up as well.
am i silly to take these all up in the first place? or should i continue to hold on to the belief that one should try to experience more during her youth, and let today's stresses grow into a fond memory, that when one looks back, she can proudly say "i've done it all, done it well"?

p/s: i find that i've been processing my thoughts in english recently, to the extent that i even take down notes in english when watching 1930s china-made movies today. of course i'm not saying that there's anything bad in this, but perhaps i should try to make the switch to a "chinese" mode, at least for the sake of presentations and essays....
