My First Time

My first time spending a night in the lab. You read me right. I am freaking in the lab at this moment when I am writing this but to my delight - I wasn't the one who is doing the lab work right now. I know I do sound evil with that statement...HAHA..but really. I am accompanying a friend for a night in the lab.

So you see...being a science based researcher especially during the days when you are still a student is not fun. You will be pushed to the limits, work on weekends and get a small amount of stipend when you see your working friends get rewarded in monetary terms when they work hard. But that's choice and interest. At times, working adults would ask themselves..is this what they want? They are rewarded for their hard work but often, they are so stressed up that by the end of the day, the shopping therapy which was needed to de-stress them would cost more than what they earn.

We don't really make much at this moment and perhaps for some people, their salary remains stagnant until the end of their career path but what can we comment? They enjoy what they are doing and they don't reflect life with regrets (although, to some extent, this is regarded as stupid by some people..haha..but that's just a matter of different perspectives).

It's difficult especially in this country. I understand that and I really do. So...the least that I can offer is my presence now..at least, it's comforting to know that we have got a companion somewhere out there with the same passion:)
