Back to work .... already??!!??

Today, I have gone back to work. Nope, I am not a workaholic that can't stay away from the office. This is definitely not a voluntary cancellation of leave. My life, once again, is not dictated or decided by me :(

Last night, I had this nagging feeling of not wanting to go to sleep. In the end, I fell asleep anyway. Woke up at about 8am and started driving to the office about 8:45 (after bitching about going back to work on the 5th day of cny to my mom). By 9am, I reached the office and then found that the office is almost empty. Of course, I am not surprised. Most of my chinese colleagues are still on holiday (good for them!!) and quite a number of the other races are either on holiday or have not gotten the motivation to drag their butts into the office early.

It is really difficult to concentrate on my work today as I am still in a holiday mood. Throughout these few days of leave, I did not do much except laze around, eat and watch tv series. This Chinese New Year holiday is a long awaited break that I know I deserve, however, has been cut short!! Sigh.

This is one of those times that I wonder if I am in the correct line of work or if this the appropriate time for me to venture out and look for other opportunities. A friend talked to me today and kindly adviced me to start thinking and planning for my own future. He asked me if this is the kind of work that I want to do for the rest of my life. It does not sound appealing and honestly, I do not know the answer to this question. So more thinking for this year, then!!
