A week has passed..

After 1 week being away from my family, it is only today did I found the heart to take out my camera phone and snap a few pictures. I am still miserable from missing my wife and kid, and being tens of thousands of kilometers away is not really helping.

I am glad that work has kept me occupied during weekdays, and was thankful that I had more work to do so that it will overflow to the weekend. But the migration that I was supposed to continue headed into some issues and it stopped me from continuing. Now I’m at the hotel, practically with nothing to do.

Don’t take me as someone hopeless. Believe me I’ve tried. Yesterday, I drove nearly 80 miles just to have lunch at this middle eastern café. Pretty good food at a decent price. A lunch buffet costs $8.99. Today, I drove down I820 to Northeast Mall. Just another shopping mall. It wasn’t that big but has almost everything. One the way back, stopped by a WalMart. The problem is going out on my own, makes me miss my family even more. I’m not the solitude type of person. I like to be around people, especially my family and friends.

Anyhow, this is what it looks like at around my hotel. Leaves and flowers are budding. Hopefully spring will be in and the weather will be warmer. Till then…
