I was the class monitor, in brown blazer, beside the Form Teacher, Ms Goh.
Here's me during the Farewell dinner, for the Fifth Formers in 1977, in blue black shirt, inspecting the bye-bye publication. The Principal, Wan Mohd Azmi, in green, was busy autographing our books.

FixED That Blower Fan!

Our bathroom exhaust fan howled every so often when used, even the first week we moved into this house. Last week, it finally whimpered its last noisy spin...Don't fall!! Notice the cavity up there...
What it sez on the shroud, on the label
NExt, separate the old motor from the shroudNo bolts left behind, okay?
New blower motor and fan, $14.00 from Lowe's. Fix the fan to the motor...
Securely bolt the motor blower combo into the shroud..
Coup de grace; bolting the fan back into the cavity...
Good as new now. Saved some money, again!

Thanks, Luqman, for helping and the pics...

Thanksgiving Day 2010

We got this 15-pounder from our regular halal meat supplier, Salem's of Pittsburgh. First step is to clean the poulet thoroughly...
Dry the birdy as good as you could. Nice and plump little guy...
Here comes the butter. I used melted butter stick; one whole stick.

Prepping the turkey by getting real friendly with it; salt and pepper next..400F for the first hour, and 350F for the second hour. We had wanted to cook at 400F for the last hour but upon checking, the thighs are already 185F, breast at 165F, so that's it..
Tented it for an hour, before I cut the main parts up. Muhsin's already eyeing his drumstick!
Hamzah got the other leg...
Happy Meal for a Happy Family! (Hey, smile!!)
We finished almost 1/3 of the bird between the six of us. Maybe another 1/2 of it by tonite. OK, Muhsin! How much will be left, after dinner tonite, if that is so?
