Quality Time with Uncle & Aunty

Posted on by sonokotchi

The other day I gave a lift to my uncle.

It was nothing because going by two (Mom and I) or three (Uncle, Mom and I) are the same.

However, he want to show his appreciation by inviting us (Mom and I) to his apartment.


It was nice of them to prepare high-tea for us.


I was driving so Uncle prepared non-alcohol beer for me.

My first time to try Suntory All-Free and surprisingly, it’s nice and rich in hop.


We chatted for four hours non-stop.

Uncle showed off his collection of mint and coins.

I didn’t know that he is a collector!!

These are few of his collection.


To show his appreciation, he gave me the Silver Coin for the 60th Anniversary of Enforcement of the Local Autonomy Law.

There are 47 coins for 47 prefectures: of course, he has all 47 coins for 47 prefectures.

He has two sets for Tokyo Prefecture to give me one.



It’s so beautiful and comes together with memorial stamps.


He has nine coins for memorial of nine Shinkansen in set.


He gave me loose ones; it’s equally nice as a set.


He also gave me loose coins for Japan 47 Prefectures Coin Programme for Tokyo and Chiba prefecture version.


Thank you; I’ll keep them nicely.

After spending wonderful time with Uncle and Aunty, we had Italian dinner with Dad near from home.

We reported all to him and showed my new collection of coins. hahaha

Buying Two New Pair of Black Shoes at ASICS WALKING at EXIT MELSA 3F., Ginza, Tokyo

Posted on by sonokotchi

I posted how I love ASICS WALKNG shoes before because its shoe sole is so soft and it has nice cushions to protect my knees.

I cannot wear other than ASICS WALKING shoes now.

It’s so comfortable!

Mom likes it, too.

I wore a black pair on Sunday.

Mom tried my shoes and she likes it very much because it fits her nicely.

She asked me to leave the pair for her.

Logically, it’s possible because we are biologically same: mother and daughter.

Tonight, I went to a new location of Ginza Store:  EXIT MELSA 3rd Floor, Ginza, Tokyo, to buy a pair of black shoes.

I requested to measure my both feet to place cushions according to shape of my foot. 

Instead of one, I bought two pairs. hahaha

Business Trip to Nagoya (Digest)

Posted on by sonokotchi

I wanted to upload every night; but I couldn’t…simply because I was tired. 

My counterpart and also a friend joined this mission so we worked hard and enjoyed hard in Nagoya.

We continued our night chatting in my room till late because we miss each other.

She is an efficient officer and became friend  since last October.

Since then, she came in May this year and September.

We had few projects working together.

Nagoya Kanko Hotel is a nice hotel.



Breakfast menu is the same; but I didnt mind getting the same thing because food quality is good. 



Attended workshops, seminars, business meetings and networking.

I’m with friends so it was fun to attend all programme together.


As a part of programmes, I visited factories.

Unfortunately, we were not allowed to take any photos there; therefore, I cannot share anything with you, but I could say two factories are well advancedand, sophisticated and automated.

They are Toyota (automobile: Prius) and Hoden Seimitsu Kako Kenkyujo (HSK: aerospace engine parts).

I could take photos at Toyota Museum only.


Newly launched car: Hilux


Racing cars



And a robot to play music.


We also maximized our time after the programme.

Celebrating friend’s Birthday together.

Went out for dinner.

Nagoya local delicacy: Hitsumabushi.

We can eat eel in three different ways: 1. Eat as it is, 2. Add condiments such as Negi (Japanese leeks) and wasabi, 3. Add soup and seaweed to 2.


Grilled Seafood


Even Indian Food


Shopping at Donki (Don Quijote) @ Sakai, Nagoya.


And Japanese traditional shopping arcades: Oosu, Nagoya.


On Saturday, before we returned for Tokyo, I played golf at Golf 5 Yokkaichi Golf Course @ Yokkaichi, Mie.

The course is located one hour away from Nagoya and the play fee is reasonable for weekends: about JPY 13,000 inclusive breakfast and lunch.

This was planed during my stay; therefore, I had to buy golf shoes, glove and balls.

We can overlook Yokkaichi City from the club house.


It was a day to play a game.



It’s been hectic two weeks, working without break – not even weekends; but I enjoyed it.

I strongly believe that I could complete these projects because my friends and also colleagues from overseas helped me greatly, including moral support.

Today, I’ve been lazy.

I miss my bed and stayed till the appointment time for hair salon.

I got massage for head and shoulders which I needed at this moment.

Having Fun in Few Ways

Posted on by sonokotchi

The tough part of work is done; I’m glad to know that many participants approached their targets.

The event is opened to public today and tomorrow.

I walked around the venue.

She is an Android at the Play Station area. 

She is so real!

​

​

Cosplaying


Is this a cosplay as well…?

Must be difficult to walk in this costume.


I went to a different hall (Hall 8) to view Konami’s e-Sports event: Winning Eleven (football game).



Wahhhh it’s so real!!!


After 5 o’ o’clock, I became a party person.

I went to Two Rooms in Omotesando, Tokyo.

This place is a nice place to hang out.

There are many people hanging out despite Saturday night and nice view, overlooking Shinjuku’s skyline.

I couldn’t take a photo of the place, but this is THE Place that I should visit again.


Good night!

Today’s Shopping @ Amazon 

Posted on by sonokotchi

Yes, I pochi (press) again yesterday.

Today, I already received a package.


I opened a box…. ta-da!!!


I bought a 20,000 mAh power bank.

It’s heavier than I thought by actually holding 397g body; but it cannot beat the price: only USD 20 for 20,000 mAh!

This time, I’ll try not to spoil it.

Last time, I didn’t know that I need to charge and use it immediately.

When I brought it to my trip, it didn’t work…

This time, I will charge and test it!


This is my third time buying Moroccan Oil.

The other day, I bought small bottles for traveling.

This time, I’m buying a bigger bottle: 200 ml.

All women cannot live without hair care products and today, Moroccan Oil became a must item for my hair.

It came with a Moroccan Oil paper bag.

In Japan, a branded paper bag is equally important. hahaha


Lastly, I bought two boxes of 48 carbonated bath tablets – Kao’s Bub – in six aroma.

It’s consumable items (I already posted about Bub), I use one tablet every night when I bath; therefore, I bought two boxes to save delivery cost (free delivery).


Am I happy tonight?

YES!

Loppi

Posted on by sonokotchi

My Malaysian friend asked me to buy tickets to Ghibli Museum because he couldn’t buy them online.

I also checked online, but tickets are sold out for July 2017.

I thought there are some tickets reserved for Loppi. 

Loppi is a ticketing machine placed at LAWSON convenient shops.

We can buy tickets 24/7.

This is Loppi like an ATM machine.

Unfortunately, all tickets are sold out on any dates in July 2017!

On 10th of every month, tickets will be available to purchase for the next month.

Well, my friends need to plan to visit Tokyo again!
