I feel so loved
I received birthday wishes from Japan and overseas.
I received special cattleya named Golden Queen Sonoko under my name.
Birthday presents in person and via post: Japanese traditional sweets and relaxation goods.
Today, it means more than a birthday for me- a special day.
The drone performance was awesome!
I’m happy that I could watch the whole performance with my naked eyes on live!
Watching Fireworks at Japan National Stadium on Live
I went up to rooftop with my niece to watch a performance of Blue Impulse to make Olympics Five Rings!
This is my official Tokyo Olympics Opening Ceremony!

My Uncle called me for Uber Eats service.
My uncle misses his childhood food: Jojoen Jo-Karubi (supreme short rib) and kimchi.
I also brought Almond Rinchou (Ring chou a la creme).
My Uncle is very happy.
I met his new partner: Mike
She is a Japanese cat, Mike-Neko (three types of coloured Hair Cat).
Nice meeting you; pls entertain my Uncle
Choco had his annual health check up and his rabies vaccine at Green Dog Tokyo Midtown Roppongi.
He behaved good!!!
Good Boy Choco-chan❣️
I sent my car for changing tyres from snow/winter tyres to normal tyres.
This is my buddy (temporary car) for today.
Let’s drive❣️
On behalf of Mom, I dated Dad in the evening.
Choco became three (3) today.
I bought this Chicken with Sweet Potato cake at Jocker, Roppongi Hills.
It seems I was the last customer for today.
Once I stepped out from the shop, the light went off. Oops
By looking at his gesture, he likes this cake!
However, I didn’t know it takes 4 – 5 hours to defrost….. uuuuu
He likes it and tries to eat it but it’s too cold for him.
He gave me an reaction like a human.
He tried to have a bite; then his head goes back and also walks in a circle but he continues to try it again.
I took it back and put it in a refrigerator to be defrosted.
You can enjoy it better tomorrow.
Hummm
Last year, a cake was too big for you.
This year, it’s too cold for you.
Next time, I will plan it better.
I love you Choco❣️ Happy Birthday❣️
When I started Year 2020 a year ago, I was full of excitement and expectations; it was Tokyo Olympics Year.
None of us dreamed of adopting new normals in our daily life.
Year 2020 was surely a tough year for all of us.
However, the pandemics made me THINK.
Think of my health, life style, work style, relationships, etc.
In fact, I managed to improve my health, life style and mentality.
I’m happier and started challenging a new project with friends.
I appreciate and value bonding and networking more.
Although we stayed in playing games with niece; it was so much fun.
I welcomed New Year with excitement and expectation.
Let’s try to make Year 2021 interesting!
STAY SAFE!
First, I taught UNO to my niece based on rules that I remember.
However, I worried what if I taught her wrongly and she gets confused when she plays the game with friends.
I checked the official rules practices by Japan UNO Association and I changed rules; yes, to my surprise there is Japan UNO Association!
She is only 5 years old and can play with adults by remembering many rules such as same Colour, same Number, Skip, Reverse, +2, +4 and WILD Card and according to the packaging, the game is designed for 7 years old and above!
I am proud of her!
We were so full from lunch the previous day so we skipped dinner and souvenir – Panda Baum (Matcha Baumkuchen or layered cake) .
After playing few games of UNO and having a light breakfast, we opened the box….there is a cute Panda!
The cake is in Panda shape!
We decorated our Panda Baum with Macarons.
It’s cute and delicious!
We all got excited, regardless our age!
It’s fourth day and last day today.
While she was packing, she asked me what date would it be her next visit?
She is asking for DATE!
I told her we should plan again on her school holiday.
I’m glad to know that she enjoyed her stay at my condo and she is looking forward to visiting me again.
On the other hand, Choco looks happier to get attentions and his quietness after guests leaving.
Yes, we finished our roles as host and we shall get some rest.
