Life is fragile, treasure it.

Had a brush with death last night. During the process of preparing some specimens for my experiment, I almost got myself splashed by boiling oil!

But i was lucky. Walking away when i felt things werent right. And even luckier when i have decided to turn off both the flames before stepping aside. Hard to describe. A picture says a thousand words.

THATS BOILING OIL
The scene of the crime.

You see the big patch of water, THAT BOILING OIL! And the piece of newspaper on the ground, well, i was sitting there. U see it "wet", well, it could have been me half burnt by the boiling oil.

Scenario, lets say IF i didnt walk away, and i didnt turn off the fire. The oil would have spilled onto me, and another side of it, spill onto the blow-torch looking thing on the left. It would have ignited the oil, and then, I would not only be half scalded by boiling oil, I would have been ENGULFED by a ball of fire. HAha, wat a way to go right? burst into flame! haha..... NOT FUNNY.

Was in a state of shock last night. Stoned the night away thinking how lucky i am, to be alive.

So people out there, please treasure whatever you have, the people you know. Cos you never know when they (or u) will be gone. Learn to appreciate what you HAVE.
