I suffered from a bad flue at Year End.
It took me two weeks to fully recover from it.
My friend introduced and recommended this Cleverin which is manufactured by Taiko Pharmaceutical.
Chlorine dioxide is supposed to free air from bacterias and work as a deodorizer.
It sounds good to me to try it.
I opened a box, put powder in a bottle and screwed the cap.
This small bottle is good for 10 sqm room for a month.
Let’s try it!
I miss her.
I don’t think I had sufficient time to catch up with her.
I took her to my favorite Yakiniku (Korean BBQ) restaurant in Roppongi, Yakiniku 433.
Perhaps, we were too busy eating…?
After eating various parts of beef, we went for desserts at Hoshino Coffee.
Yes, I announced my resolution yesterday – Losing Weight, but I think I can apply exception when I’m spending quality time with my friends from overseas.
She brought me goodies from Trader Joe’s: Cocoa Batons (Rolled Wafers with Rich Chocolate Cream), Green Tea Infused Mints and Indian Coconut Nectar Body Butter with Shea & Mango Butters.
I cannot wait to try them!
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!
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!
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.
It’s raining and cold outside, 3C.
Today, I received a nice set of corporate calendar from my friend as a sign of Year-End.
Sending calendars is a traditional custom of Year-End: getting ready to receive a new year.
I like her corporate calendars because pictures are all beautiful Japanese sceneries.
I look at nice scenery of Japan when I get tired at office.
I plan to place all in my office room.
And I had Bonenkai (Year-End Gathering) at Malaysian Cuisine Penang Restaurant, Shiba-Keon, Tokyo.
We laughed over nice food.
Year-End is approaching.
I visited Malta for Year End – New Year Holiday 2015/2016.
Malta is a beautiful country with full of mystery (history).
Maltese are friendly and Maltese food is delicious.
I enjoyed my stay there.
Tonight, I decorate the entrance with Mdina Glass Christmas Trees.
Aren’t they beautiful!
My friend sent me 10kg of special rice, Isehikari.
It’s so special because Emperor himself planted to harvest these rice.
I will surely appreciate every bites!
I went to shopping in Ginza and had Ichiran Ramen for lunch quickly with my friend; then sent her to Haneda Airport.
It was short, but I’m glad we spent some time together.
She gave me many early Christmas gift.
Her honey products. I love her high quality honey.
From Hyatt. hahaha
And so sweet of her, she even bought a Christmas gift for me.
Thank you for your thoughts!
When I reached home, I quickly called my physical therapist to unwind me.
Luckily, he was available.
I fell sleep while his treatment and it was a deep sleep that I immediately felt fresh!
I went to office on Friday, but honestly, I wasn’t productive on that day.
I waited to hit 5 o’ clock to go back to meet my friend for dinner.
We could make a reservation at Michelin 1 Star Restaurant Sushi Nakamura, Roppongi only at 9 pm.
We had some bites at Grand Hyatt Roppongi’s Club Lounge.
Yes, we had few glasses here last night, too.
Chef’s Recommendation Course was nice.
Sorry, it’s Michelin Restaurant, I behaved by not taking any photos.
My friend invited me to crush at her place.
She upgraded her room to Suite!
It’s so comfy!
