Visiting Warwick within 2 hours

15 December 2015

My housemates and I actually went to Warwick to visit the famous Warwick Castle.
However, we didn't get in because the entrance fee
is quite expensive for a little time we had.
We wouldn't have much time to explore the Castle
since it is getting dark early during winter.

I will come again during summer.
This is the Castle from far.
This pictures was taken from a garden nearby.

See how big the Castle is.
It has lakes and gardens inside.
Late spring or summer will be the best time to enjoy this, I think.

It would a waste to get in at that time because it was nearly 3 o'clock.
and 3.30 p.m. was already dark (sundown) on that day.
It was already winter. Night time is longer than day time here.
As we love to take pictures, it would be best if we could come much earlier than this.
Next time, probably in the morning....so the pictures will come out nice and clear.
Well, we only depend on the phone camera... That's why...hahaha.


So we simply drop and take photographs at any suggested
places to visit in Warwick.
Luckily, we coincidentally saw an information board at the train station
and took its picture.
We simply visited to as many as possible within that limited time.
We had to take a train back home at 4.50 P.M.

Below is the picture of an old hospital.
It is a very authentic building.



Below is the picture of Smith Street




This is St John's House.
It is a FREE museum.




Well.......not much actually.
Warwick, we will come again!!!!!

My princess theme bedroom

My room in the UK

**************
This is how the room looked like when I first arrived....
It was early January 2015.



**********
Then, after three hours of unpacking my stuff....it became like this.
Well, of course, I brought a lot of stuff from Malaysia.
...just in case.

Then, after a month...it started to be like below.




Ducks in the mud cake

It is a store-bought chocolate moist cake.
I bought it at Sainsbury's for only GBP2.65.
Then I made these little ducks from a ready-made fondant.


This cake was made for my housemate.

Happy Birthday!


Rapunzel Tower

It's my Rapunzel Tower...

I purchased it from eBay. 
Well, I'm too big too play with it.
It's only for room decoration purposes.
That's why there's no Rapunzel doll in it.
But it has Pascal though.



....The end...

Egg Sandwich

This is so good!

Simply make scrambled egg, then add some mayonnaise.
Spread it on toast. Add some sliced tomato and cucumber.
Put shredded lettuce too and a slice of cheese.
There you go!
A perfect egg sandwich ready, to start a lovely day...

I love burned toast...
The aroma is NEVER worth to die for...because you want to live long to eat this.
It is tastier this way!!!

Lontong

Lontong is a very delicious Malay cuisine.
There's mixed vegetable curry, spicy anchovies, boiled eggs, dried/shredded beef and compact rice.
They are all good to be combined in a bowl.
It is normally served to guests during festive season...like Eid.


Well, I don' have a recipe for this because my housemate made it.
All I know is to eat it.
Delicious!!!
