Simple Christmas Nail Decoration for 2017.
Unfortunately, I don’t have glittering in red.
I cannot say this is the best design for Christmas, but I wanted to try this combination tonight.

Currently living in Tokyo. I would love to share feelings, food, places and things that I do!!
Bonenkai (Year-End Gathering) Day
Today, I had two Bonenkai.
I had a corporate Bonenkai (Year -End Gathering) at Malaysian Restaurant, Malay Asian Cuisine, Shibuya, Tokyo.
I enjoyed these Malaysian food: Satay, Nasi Lemak, ota ota (it’s fish surimi. After open banana leaf, there is a curry flavored fish surimi: picture on the right), Murtabak, pandan chiffon cake and Teh tarik.
At the evening, I enjoyed Italian at Il Ritrovo, Ropppongi Hills, Tokyo with my flower arrangement class mates (7 of us).
I was busy talking during Bonenkai; therefore, I forgot to take photos.
Nonetheless, the restaurant is famous for pizza, delicious and VERY cost effective.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, my friends!
Tuesday Night @ Marunouchi, Tokyo
I walked Marunouchi Financial District which is nicely decorated for Christmas.
I had American Steak at Wolfgang’s Steak House, Marunouchi, Tokyo.
I had nice beefy dinner!
Monday Night
After office, I went to dermatology to get medicines to control my allergy for skin.
Tonight, I finished early at dermatology; therefore, I went to gym for cycling.
Now instead of bed time story, feel like bed time TV: Rizzoli & Isles.
Movie Sunday
I woke up early for Sunday to catch 9:00 am showing movie at Toho Cinema, Roppongi.
Star Wars started showing on 15 December 2017 in Japan.
I watched it on an Extra Large Screen with better audio, DOLBY ATMOS.
The movie is absolutely nice!
I cried through the movie and this is definitely a must movie.
Later in the afternoon, I watched Murder On The Orient Express.
I enjoyed it in different way, classic but thrilling.
It was an exciting day!
One can make me happy, but TWO!
Extremely, happy!
Foodie Report: Nihonbashi Yabukyu
I had a nice namakaki tempura zarusoba (oyster tempura cold sobs) tonight at Nihonbashi Yabukyu, Tokyo.
This soba shop opened in Japanese Era Meiji 35 years, 1902.
This restaurant is a member of Kibachi Kai.
Kibachi (wooden bowl) symbolizes the basic of soba.
Kibachi Kai aims to improve skills among members.
I found my favorite soba shop name, Azabu Jyuban Sarashina Horii, in a list.
If you are looking for a nice soba shop, we can refer to the website of Kobachi Kai at http://www.kibati-kai.net/01about/index.html.Unfortunately, it’s in Japanese only.I hope you would reach to a soba shop by Google Map…?
Trying Out New Mascara: Mote Mascara
I periodically open a mascara every three months, even before finishing it to avoid getting eye infection from bacteria growing from mascara.
This time, I’m trying Mote Mascara Natural (Black) and Impact (Navy).
According to women and beauty magazines, this series is very popular.
Hummm, not bad.
Today’s Flower Arrangement
My dear friend gave me this candle as gift.
The concept of this candle is Zen (meditation) with a Dragon; it has Asian elements.
I brought some Japanese taste cloths which were wrapping for gifted rice for recycling.
Today, I design it for New Year.
Embarrassing Moment
After lunch, I played music to enjoy coffee.
Surprisingly, the volume was low; I turned up the volume and people at next table looked at me.
Ahhhhhh
Music was playing from my mobile…I was listening to Lady Gaga to boost me after lunch.
Lady Gaga, is it a safe choice or bad…?
How could it happen?
I heard from earphones that it’s connected…?
DIY
I used to go to nail salon to do calgel, but it couldn’t last for a month for me.
I had to visit nail salon often and it wasn’t cheap.
I used to spend minimum USD 100 for ten fingers.
If I add more decorations, it costs more.
Today, I apply nail by myself; but, after some time, tip will chip.
I am lazy to redo; therefore, I added another colour to look like bi-colour design. hahaha
It’s not bad, isn’t it?
