Girls’ Talk

I had been rather occupied ever since I'm back. As you know, my wallet is dangerously underweight. Thus, I’ve been obsessed with printing money these days.

Today, everyone in my lab has nothing to do. My mentor was teasing his gf on msn, the lab technician was always washing his hands, the FYP students were strolling aimlessly around the circumference of the lab and my friend was trying to match the correct key to the respective locks. I was inflating the latex gloves and my partner in crime was watching Hard Gay.
Is that life?? I can’t believe it!!

Actually, I think that I am really fortunate to be part of this mentorship program because I took it as a chance to reflect and seriously consider whether I want to go into the line of research. As mentioned above, life will be like that… and just that… I don’t want!!! I cannot imagine myself idling and cramp up in the lab from 9 to 6, with the samples starring at me and me starring back at them. I measure their half life and they measure my half life. ARGHH…I don’t want!!!

Alright, I know I can’t simply generalized people who work in the lab as people not having a life. They do have bf/gf, they do have a happy family and adorable kids. Just a minority were left on the shelf, unfortunately…

Speaking of that, I remembered that a few days back, I had a conversation with some friends and there were two terms I find interesting. They are “evergreen” and “stained”. Actually, the pioneers of these two terms are simon and jl. They regarded individuals who had never been in love as “evergreen” and individuals who had ever been through relationships as “stained”. Hahaha!!!! I laughed till my jaws drop.

Ok, I know guys can be really ingenious when it comes to giving weird terms. It sounded so wrong when I first heard of it. But after a second thought, it seemed kinda fit the circumstance and describe the situation actually. Hmmm - stained….Creative!! I like.

Come to think about it, stained is a really cool word. Just give it a thought. Human beings are unlike computers, where they can undo, edit, delete, format and help. In life, there is no escape button and there is absolutely no way we can restart. It is more like a trail through the forest. You might not know it but you have already flatten some ants and left your footprint behind, leaving a permanent stain.

Individuals that had once been through relationships will know that it is not as easy to forget as we have thought. That’s why it sometimes still hurts when we mentioned our ex.

For instance, when your friend broke up with his gf, your advice will often be – forget her la, you will definetely meet a better girl. *Yuck* so disgusting, that sentences, I will only hear it in some tv drama because that’s totally crap; they are meant for entertainment purposes only. If life is like computer, then perhaps that is possible. But in reality, we had been stained!!! Even the strongest detergent will not remove the stain completely. Isn’t that which makes life interesting!! If we had never been stained, we will never know what a bitch or jerk we used to date... But again, not all our ex is bitch or jerks. It is up to your own judgment.

Stains are bits and pieces that make up life. Irritating yet unremovable. Aren't you trying to get stained a second time??

*Yawn* Bedtime!!
