Kimberley Walsh - One day I will Fly away

Pretty Kimberley Walsh makes her solo debut with a new video for the song One Day I Fly Away. I think she is a pretty good singer. If you did not know, she is from the girl group Girls Aloud. The same group as Cheryl Cole.
Hmm i cant put Vevo videos here.

2 + 2 = 5

Here is a video I received by Shabab Alif, an activist. Different people watching this video would have different interpretation of it. After I watched it, it made me ponder:

If I fight for the correct answer and eventhough I am right, I will still die. If I chose to follow the leader, I might be wrong, but remain alive. This reminds me of Les Miserables movie where all (except one) who was fighting for revolution died, even a small boy. But, that one person who survived will still continue to fight for his rights. So like one of the comments said, even if you kill a hero, there will always be another hero.

It can also be related to real life where there are leaders and followers. Some people would rather just keep quiet, be a follower and avoid confrontation, while others would voice out and fight till the wrong becomes right.

The movie also shows that you can brainwash people, just not all of them are that weak.

Today's news

Today, I read some interesting news in the Daily Mail. Not good news, but something everyone should be aware of.

Article #1: Horse meat found in Beef Burgers sold in Tesco, Aldi and Lidl!!

I am not worried about the horse meat, just worried about which part of the animal was minced!

Back from Bournemouth

The trip back to Glasgow using Megabus was much better. The journey was longer as the bus made stops at Manchester, Preston and Leicester. That means instead of a 7hour journey, it took 9 hours to reach Glasgow.

The bus this time was pretty good. I am not sure if this was the bus they planned to use for the trip bacause our scheduled departure time was delayed. Somehow our bus could not make it to London and so, we had this replacement bus.

It was a double decker Megabus and it was clean, the seats were more sturdy and it was really comfortable.

So, because of that, the nine hour joueney back to glasgow was not a 'head shattering' as the first bus I took.

I wish they would throw that older bus away.

Suffering on the bus

So, i am finally in Bournemouth with my awesome host, Alex. It was a long journey, 13 hours bus ride to be exact.
I know, I am crazy to do that.

But, I really did not think it would have been that bad at first.

When I was looking at megabus back in October, I was pretty ecstatic to know there were 1 pound buses available from Glasgow to London. I did not think about the travel duration. All I wanted was a cheap mode of transport. At the same time, I contacted Alex and we always wanted to meet up after so long. Therefore, I decided to go to Bournemouth from London. I also thought Bournemouth was only one hour away from London. But it was actually two and a half hours.

Sitting in Megabus for 7hours from Glasgow to London was torture. The bus was so bumpy. The seats were bumpy and shaky. I felt like my brain and other organs were really being shaked and moved. No matter where I lay, I was still shaking. Ended up with a terrible headache which lasted till the next day.

The only good thing about the trip was that I manage to see Manchester as the bus picked up some people from Manchester. Manchester looks like just another city with the same shops.

I do not look forward to my journey back to glasgow. I tried searching for flights or trains to go back, but it was too expensive :(:(

From london, I had to take another bus by National Express to head to Bournemout. I can see why people would rather pay more to ride on National Express. It was still bumpy but I guess my head was still aching from Megabus so the journey to Bournemouth was horrid too for me.

I did feel like puking but luckily I had ginger biscuits to keep the nausea away.

I am enjoying Bournemouth and the company.

London bound

1pound Megabus ticket to London. Im in the bus now, waiting to depart from Glasgow. Unfortunately we are bein delayed by a guy who smells of marjuana insisting on getting on the bus. He was at another stance earlier disturbing others. Can't imagine the gruelling journey with someone like him in the bus!

Food Panda delivery in KL

I received the weekly BCard newsletter in my email and I saw an advertisment about foodpanda.com. I was too curious because the panda picture was looked cute, so I clicked on the advert. I found out foodpanda.com was a delivery website for food in Kuala Lumpur. It looked like a pretty simple concept.

Firstly, I chose my location.

Then, a list of restaurants that deliver to my house appears.

The information given were like name of restaurant, its address, duration for delivery, delivery charge etc. The one thing that caught my eye was the delivery charge. If I were to order for delivery from Modestos, it would cost me RM6. I think that is reasonable for someone who does not have a car but needs some good food. The downside I see was that, it takes 1hour for delivery which means that the food might be cold and soggy already. McDonalds takes one hour to deliver too and most of the time, the fries were soggy.

Maybe foodpanda's delivery duration was just an estimation. I haven't tried the system and I can't try till half a year later lol. I would try it once if no one else has tried it back home because they do have a good 160+ list of restaurants like Obriens, Kaw Kaw burger,Secret Recipe and others.
