Saturday Before a Storm

Posted on by sonokotchi

I went to hair salon this morning because I won’t have any weekend or even a day off in September.


I miss Roku-chan, a cute mascot of this hair salon.


The weather is nice and I finished early.

Now it’s cooler in the morning and evening.

I decided to walk under soft sunshine.


Shops are yet to open at Roppongi Hills.

I enjoy window shopping while I see staffs are busily getting ready to open a shop


I stopped by at my favorite supermarket, Meidi-Ya,  to stock up my food for a week.



The other day, I introduced Super Food Granola.

This time, I bought Dorset Cereals (Cranberry, Cherry & Almond) as my emergency food.

I’ll eat this when I’m tired to cook food. hahaha


In the afternoon, I took a nap.

I feel lazy to do anything today.

This Week

Posted on by sonokotchi

It’s Friday and I should be parting; but, I left office 11:15 pm tonight.

This is my booster during the day.

I brew Peet’s Coffee and bring it to the office.


This is what keeps me going after 5 when I’m alone in the office: Amazon Music.


And this is my night cap: Nagano Beer – OH LA HO BEER CAPTAIN CROW


I’ve been spending my days simple these days…

Farewell

Posted on by sonokotchi

I knew her from work.

She finished her term in Japan and will return to her country in two weeks.

We never went out privately, but I asked her for a dinner.
We started Robatayaki (charcoal grilled food) dinner at Ginza Hakobune Shizuku at 6 pm.

We had so much fun, so we continued our chat at Tommy Bahama, Ginza.

There is a dining place at Tommy Bahama’s butique.


Cakes and non-alcohol mojito are nice!


I’m going to miss her; we shall keep in touch!

Enjoy Girl’s Night @ the Palace Hotel Tokyo

Posted on by sonokotchi

I am invited for the Palace Hotel’s reception to have a hotel tour and to enjoy their drinks and  food.

The Hotel is located nearby the Imperial Place and Marunouchi Financial District, Tokyo; the view from the hotel is nice and open.



The hotel is a member of the Leading Hotels of the World with nice facilities.

Banquet Rooms


Evian Spa



And Rooms




Fortunately, my boss couldn’t make it to this event because he was ordered to attend a meeting that he couldn’t escape from.

I had nice drinks, food and chat with my friend from a sister organization.

Her boss cannot make it, neither because he caugh a flue: influenza.

We simply enjoyed the event without our superiors presence!

Furthermore, the event is free!




And so sweet of them, I received a door gift: raisin and cranberry witches.

Cafe Day

Posted on by sonokotchi

My friends from Singapore gave me this Singaporean brand TWG Alfonso (Mango) Iced Tea for a sourvenir.

It has rich Mango fragrance and deep flavour.

It turned my room into a nice cafe.


In the evening, I remember I have a voucher that expires on 31 August 2017 for a free sandwich or desert at Tokyo Midtown, Roppongi, Tokyo.
I decided to get a sandwich and juice for dinner.


Unfortunately, a store that I picked sold out an egg sandwich so I got a pudding.


To my sirprise, Recipe and Market’s pudding is so eggy!

It’s small, but can give you satisfaction!


It was a cafe day and calming day.
