Steamed and well done.

Sometime I amaze myself of how stupid and lack of SA (Situation awareness) I can be when it comes to warning sign and kitchen hazard...

"Do not touch, cover or obstruct this steam vent"

and the hazard today came from a steam vent of the kitchen while I was cooking some rice to go with the canned curry chicken and mutton. I was searching for something in the cabinet above the rice cooker and a portion of my arm was almost well done by the steam within seconds....

Ouch....

Excruciating pain! You know the story of the frog sitting calmly in the water while it slowly heat up and boil but it still did not jump out? I think I am the frog right now, casually placing my tricep over the steam vent for a minute too long. I wonder why I did not feel the steam initially before it took a layer of skin of my arm.

Milk is an effective pain reliever of burns so I soakrd my arm in a plate of milk. Have to drive down to Walgreens to get some First Aid. I suggest every family to have a first aid kit at home I regret not having one at home. Instead of 12 days to heal, a properly dressed burn wound only take a week.

First Aid Cream, Wound Pads, Tapes and 300 Cotton Balls.


I gonna draw something on it to make it look cool
