Long post.

Yesterday was quite happening because housemates finished one paper and decided to fill the rest of the day with food (I was suppose to study like hell for my Wednesday’s paper but complied to that as well, state exam man, STATE EXAM!).

Anyway, before I started showing you pizzas, the gas man came to clean up the heater.

Introduction: Half of this town’s hot water supply is centralized. Our house is not one of that half. So, to warm up the water all year long, the houses here use the centralized gas to heat up the water IN THE BATHROOM of the house. This is done by using the heater. Well, it is not electronic, and imagine oil is so expensive, yet Russians are burning natural gas like hell. I thought this thing can’t be reproduced? Anyway, back to the topic, the construction of the heater is pretty simple, a cuprum thing shaped into something identical to the radiator, and a gas structure underneath it to light up a few lines of fire to warm up the water. The water will flow into the Copper pipe above the fire with 3 turnings before coming out from the shower head.

Problem: We see the fire burning with such intensity that we thought it is going to blow up but the water is still cold. (Info given by the gas man - the water flowing out from the pipe is 2 Celsius).

Solve: Ask the gas man to come and clean it. The fire is not burned properly because the pipe that mix the gas with oxygen is stuck with dirt. It resulted in deposition of some blackish material along the ‘radiator-like’ structure’.

Discovery: Part of the Copper thingy up there melted because we keep on increasing the fire (to get hot water) even thou the water is not warmed. Copper melt in 1084 Celsius!!!

This is how the heater looks like.

Put down.

Dismantled. Lower left corner is the Copper radiator thingy, then is a box directing the fire and then up there is the lines of gas (don’t know how to call them -lah).

See, all those blackish stuffs. They are kinda oily, more like carbon, or maybe it is our burned dead skin. LOL.

Washed. Took a lot of time cleaning it! Kachingggg… 900 Rubles to get this thing done. But it is fun to see what is inside the heater for once. Basically people will clean this thing once a year before winter, but we used them 4 years without doing anything. That man is going to bring something to cover up the big hole created by the melted Copper and it will cost another 200 Rubles.

Okay, finally, Pizzas.

Hehe.. All 4. From below, I made sambal ikan bilis stuffing, and then is Naj’s tomyam seafood stuffing, and then is Wi’s mushroom white sauce stuffing and finally Claire’s super full eggs with vege stuffing.

Ready to go. (Purposely put so many shots to make you all hungry)

Naj’s pizza. I think it looks pretty hot and sexy. No? (Naj, not talking about you ah)

As expected, the moment I took my 1st bite I already know we can’t finished all of these. Hehe.. Nevermind, breakfast pizza.

Naj is so happy she is pregnant -_-’

Memang lain mentality -lah.
