have you ever had bubbling boiling aluminium mixed with NaOH (which is boiling hot btw)
spill all over your hands before?

clumsy me has :(

i forgot that we were supposed to put only a little of aluminium and very little of NaOH.
so i happily went and put a whole lot of aluminium and two whole droppers full of NaOH...
then i suddenly felt a hot drop of liquid on my hand,
and the NEXT thing i knew, the whole boiling tube bubbled over with
BOILING HOT solution scalding my beautiful hands :(
summore i knew i couldnt let it go cuz i didnt wanna break the boiling tube
and pay (i have absolutely NO money now) so i held on to it tightly
*quite stupid la actually*
now my fingers are peeling like mad and feel super raw.

VERY clever, samantha tan.
