Bringing Sis to Warwick Castle

Many many weeks ago, when I haven't had internet connection at home...

My sister Jih Hoay came to visit us on 20 October. The 3rd member of my family, after my parents to visit me in London. My younger brother is the only one left. Hope he'll want to come and visit us soon.

Jih Hoay was staying in Cumberland Hotel near Marble Arch. I didn't have any classes on Friday. So we met up at the hotel around lunch time. I brought her to my flat and cooked lunch for her. Next we went to Jo and my temporary accomodation at Goodenough College to access internet before I brought her to see Cass Business School. We met up with our hometown friend Khoon Peng near Moorgate station and proceed to Angel to join my Malaysian uni mates for freshers dinner at Whitechapel. Jo could only join us a bit later as she left work late.

The next day, I took Jo and Jih Hoay to Warwick Castle. The train ticket and entrance fees only cost us GBP77 in total. I've been there with Yee Sian and Swati many years ago, during undergraduate days. The castle still looks the same. We managed to take some photos with the sun appearing and disappearing every now and then.

It rained heavily at the time we were on our way to Warwick Train Station. We had to take a shelter in a local bar. We missed the train in the end and arrived nearly 2 hours later than planned. As a result, I missed Xian's birthday celebration in Khan's. Felt really bad for that but what to do?

We had Taza Kebab - supposedly the best kebab in the world according to many of my Malaysian friends.. Jih Hoay concluded that kebab is not her thing.

Jo and I were too lazy to go back to our own flat. So we bunked at Jih Hoay's hotel room. Very nice room with 42" Plasma TV!

The next day, we managed to have duck rice at Four Seasons with Khoon Peng before we send Jih Hoay off with her SIA crew.
