A Special Day

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.

I received local specialised ramen for year end gift.

There are 2 packs each for three different ramen: Maezawa-Gyu (Maezawa Beef) Ramen, Hakkinton (Hakkinn Pork) and Sanma (Pacific Saury Fish) Ramen.

I had Maezawa-Gyu Ramen for dinner 🤣

Now I started Instagram and Twitter.

Work Out with Four Ladies in Malaysia Together via WhatsApp

Suddenly, I was invited to attend two (2) webinars this morning.

To be asked to join VCs and webinars at very last minutes became one of common new normals.

Now I’m glad that I attended I thought it’s going to be a boring “webinar”.

I spotted a friend that I haven’t communicated in a while among other participants.

We started to communicate via WhatsApp and she invited me to join a work out and exercise together via WhatsApp tonight!

I pulled out a yoga mat and a selfie stick cum tripod to join four ladies in Malaysia to work out (Tabata/HIIT) together via WhatsApp.

I sweat, felt good exercising and happy to be connected despite our distance.

And YES, this is definitely one of new normals and THIS I enjoy.

Choco was very supportive!

Thank you my friend for extending me an invitation!

I will try to join regularly!

Lunch at Ginza Espero

I had a Spanish food for lunch at Ginza Espero.

Each of us can select a dish from 4 categories to customize our own lunch.

The cost efficiency is definitely high and all delicious!

Later I became busy posting about the restaurant and food on Instagram and Twitter (I started recently at both @sonokotchi ) to get a complementary sherry and rum raisins ice cream.

Ow this was worth troubling for.

Well later I noticed my mistake.

The restaurant asked for #銀座エスペロ in Japanese, but I #espero and #ginza separately and in English. Ooops

But I managed to get yummy ice cream. Yeah
