Sick and tired, mentally and physically

Back after a week attending the Finance & Operations Conference in Hong Kong. Am very drained, both mentally and physically. To make matters worse, I had to go back to office today to clear tons of work before I get totally buried under the monthly, quarterly closing as well as the budget consolidation over the next few weeks. And my final semester is supposed to commence in a couple of weeks' time, now I don't even know how to plan my time. Basically July is gone for me. Boo. What a way to celebrate my 28th birthday. -.-

Travelling together with different people is always rewarding because I get to see the other side of them and get to know them better as a person. Or at least that was what I had in mind before this trip. I ended up getting to know A LOT MORE about certain things and people than what I had expected. And it doesn't feel good knowing all those stuff. No, not at all. In fact it makes me feel sick. Very sick. So sick that I feel like walking away from a lot of things right now. There's a serious need to lighten the weight on my shoulders.

No doubt my career prospects do look bright at this particular juncture, I still feel that I might just throw the damn letter one day if the situation doesn't improve. I guess friends and family will always come ahead of career. Call me unambitious if you like, but that's my principles in life.
