Leaving For Atlanta tonight

Went out with CT this morning at 815am to go with his colleagues to the Northside Clinic At Saraland. Pam came to pick us up. Glad she is looking alright. Pam told me to tag along as there will be shopping area near by. The clinic is really huge and warm as it looks like a nice terrace house with a big living room. Very cool. After registration, Pam took me to the shopping area just 5 mins away. Went to KMart and walked around. KMart do not sell much grocery food. It sells mainly shopping stuff like clothes, toys etc. After that, I walked to Dollar General store next to it. Things are cheap. It is like a provision store but bigger than Singapore-type of provision store.

After doing some shopping, I called Pam and she came to pick me up and drove me back to my apartment as the rest are still doing their checkup. On the way back, Pam and I spoke about our families, church and more about the education system in our countries. Enjoyed our time together.

When I came home, I started packing for tonight as I was going to Atlanta for the long weekend. Also prepared dinner. Cooked beef stew at about 2 plus pm so that the beef cubes would be tender when dinner time comes. CT called back a few times to check on me. He also told me that 2 of his colleagues will be over for dinner. I was glad as I do enjoy serving and inviting people to my house. I cooked beef stew, made a honey mustard ham, tomato and lettuce salad, and fried an egg with steam rice. I enjoy eating beef with egg...like the Japanese style. Kok Fong and Teck Meng enjoyed the dinner. There was left overs from their Mexican lunch too. So we had lots to eat.

At night, we made our way to Greyhound station about 15-20 mins away. Anthony and Janice (from the 1st batch) fetched us there. The 1st batch also going to Atlanta but some of them could drive. So they will be driving there. Our batch have not taken the driving test in Alabama yet. So, not allowed to drive the company's car because of insurance.

So, we took the Greyhound bus for about 8 hours. Stopped over at Montgomery, Alabama and Columbus, Georgia. It was troublesome stopping as we had to evacuate the bus and wait in the terminal for about 15 mins. I slept the time I was in the bus as it was night. Reached Atlanta, Georgia at 630am. The weather was good.
