Today - good thing is that I didn't have major hangover. Hahaha.
Usual Saturday morning… probably more organized than usual.
Hit down to Shiodome with MoonFlower.

Our purpose - checking out the kitchen shelf (to be installed).
Panasonic has good line-ups and we wanted to get quotation.
Everything was smooth… didn't have to wait too long.

Initially I was told to wait for 60 mins. Turned out to be 6 mins. Pretty darn good! Hahah.
Shelf design and material used are determined. Quotation will be in mail to us in a matter of a couple of days.
Good dela.

MoonFlower has right to respond as final answer. Hahah.



Late lunch - at Tully's.



Walked down to Giza ward.
Went to Cartier for ordering something for me.
Yeah, my watch - Santos 100 XL Chronograph - I ordered replacing the leather belt.

Paid some money --- quite expensive… but within the expected range.

Surprise was that the goods is due in 3-4 months. Gosh, that long! Hahaha.
It's okay, that doesn't bother me much.
You know, I am not going to wear that Cartier watch for a while since I will be gone to Thailand for a while (again).



One last dinner with MoonFlower.
Wine bottle was open.
One is quite expensive… picked up in Bangkok a while ago.



Saint Henri Shiraz - Australian wine.
Surely different from usual French or even Italian wine.
Good experience.

Probably more fitting to winter season. Hahaha.





The dinner was closed with pizza delivered by Domino. Yeah, Domino Pizza.
It was pretty good!
Ate quite bit tonight. It's okay… I won't get another chance to dine with my darling wife until 2nd half of next month.

Now everything… all events scheduled are completed!
Ready for another Bangkok? Sure thing. No problem. Hahaha.
Next update - is definitely coming from Bangkok. See you folks then.

It is Friday… last working day in Japan for me… before very next BKK trip!!!
Time really flies… already last day? Gosh.
Anyhow, work is work. Right?

Now you can take a look at my attire for the day.
Still "Super Duper Cool Biz."
Hahaha.



Yes, wearing PINK! What's wrong with that???
FYI - I am not a gay… and I never like gay. Got it?
Hahaha.



Shirt and jeans are both from Tsumori Chisato.
Very cool, huh!



Tonight - I was with Kirk - long time friend since Atlanta era.
Remember of him???



Went to a tavern in Shimbashi for eatingJapanese stuff.







Don Perignon - in pink??? Hahaha.
Still Japanese alcohol!



Tavern was packed with (almost) all Japanese male.



I should hold pink drink, wearing pink shirt. Hahaha.
Good combination!



Then hit the road to Ramen noodle shop.
My usual place… called Sawa - but in different location tonight.





Very tasty… as always. Good stuff!
Better than any ramen noodle ever found in Bangkok! Hahaha.

Okay… one more day to go for me to "stay" in Tokyo.

It was definitely fun experience to me.
I came to be lecturer of class at Thai-Nichi Technology of Institute today.
From 9am to noon for 3 hours… it was my SHOW. Hahaha.

I was quite nervous, though.
Because of previous class - Accounting when students showed much difficulty keeping up with the subject, I was quite concerned whether they could keep up and show some kind of sign for being interested.

My worry didn't need to last as far as today's class went.



Maybe I did a good job. Hahaha.



There were lots of smiles and laughs in the class.
3 hours seemed very quick and short.



Students never lost the intension listening up today. Thank you!!!
I am quite happy with how it went.










So everything went as pretty much planned.
All slides for the class were used as well.
My past weekend for the preparation is well paid off!!!



So I came to a big lunch after class. My reward. Hahaha.

Preparation was quite everything for today's lesson learned.
That's what I conveyed to students about making good presentation.
See my point? Hehehe.

What's up, folks!
It is my birthday… yes it was my 39th.
Wait. Am I truly 39 years old now?

I feel like I turned around toward becoming younger!
Let's say, I were about 35 years old! (big difference?)

I received so many HBD messages from different media including mixi, Facebook, and other social network.
Of course, direct emails and special phone calls… I thank you for that. Truly.
I am quite delighted!

Yesterday, I shared with you the story about some surprise the client threw for me.
Today another story here.
I came to a big cake again! This time, sweet cake! (khanonkheek)



I feel like I were a kid because this kind of celebration never took plea for a long time!!!
You know what I mean. Whole cake, candles, and blow on my own!



The party took place at "Soi 8" Irish Bar.
It was my first visit even though rest of project members have been there more than several times!
Hmm, why not me… until today??? Hahaha





Shiro~ Thanks for neat party, bro.





"Irish" Pub still serves Thai food. Interesting (nan khao jai)



Big cake, huh!



Lastly, we played the pool.
First time in long time for me. Since Thunderbird???
I did play it okay. Everyone won once and break even among three of us.

Peace.

Last even for the night was the massage.
Body oil massage in Phrom Phom.
I have been to foot massage once in February or March… none other than that.

Kind of hesitation to the oil and entire body to be massaged.
It was not bad at all.
Though, I felt a bit awkward about the fact that I had to be naked… entirely. Oops.

hahaha (555 in Thai numeric expression)

Oh, one more thing… I cannot forget about it.



BD present from MoonFlower. It was a bangle. Cool huh!
Remember that blue is best fitting color to me? Yeah, perfect fit, huh.

Anyway, happy 39th birthday for myself! Hehehe.
Good night!

Oops, I'd better call my mother… who has the birthday same as mine… TODAY!
Happy birthday, Mom!

Tonight supper turned out to be big dinner.
Yeah, MoonFlower and I went out to Kinshicho for big BBQ dining.









It was Korean BBQ… our favorite.
Didn't I tell you that I would like to eat either Sushi or Korean BBQ upon returning from Thailand.
Sure, here it is.



Variety of beef… made both of us smile and busy eating!
MoonFlower was good at the management of the grill. That's man's job, usually… Hahaha.
It was her job!





Lots of food… along with some alcohol.
Beer and Korean Makgeolli. Good enough.

I bet that we will go another BBQ dining upon returning next time… end of May.
Am I sure? Yes!!!
No doubt that MoonFlower cannot resist it… TOO MUCH.

Weekend in Japan is NOW HERE!!!
I waited MoonFlower to be back home from school where she learns baking.

It was about 2pm… late for lunch. So we rushed.



Restaurant called "NEGISHI" - famous chain for beef and chicken.
I love this place! A bit expensive, but perfect place for a nice lunch.
MF didn't mind me picking this up. Hahaha.

After such satisfactory food, we went to part near Kinshicho to see some cherry blossoms.
This weekend is the time for seeing them for sure.



Look! So beautiful!





Bunch of people came out with something to eat… so-called "Hanami."
(literally, flower watching - meaning people do have some drinks under cherry blossoms every spring).



We just walked though the park and really appreciated the beauty of the nature.
Am so glad that I didn't miss this - nicely planned to be back in Japan! Hahaha.

Then checked some stuff in nearby department store - Marui.
Bought some stuff for myself… though no major ones.

For supper, it was MoonFlower's turn to choose.
She wanted to go to "Aida" where we used to go to.
That restaurant is located near the place I used to live right before getting married.

She and I used to go there quite sometime.
Since having moved to the other side of town, not much chance to.
We decided to take a long walk tonight!



Aida is yakitori place.
Good food as always is.





Side menu not much changed. Hahaha.



Man, ate too much! Both of us! Hahaha.
Was perfect day and night… cannot complain too much.
Agree?

One last dinner with MoonFlower and mother-in-law tonight.
They came by my apartment for some purpose… hahaha.
Entire living environment is checked out by them!

One last fun to do in Bangkok with them is… going to fancy dinner!
We did! Literally, fancy one.

The restaurant located on the 65th floor - the top of building, looking down the BKK.



Cool, huh!





Night view was awesome, too!



Let's not forget… food was SUPER DUPER expensive but SO DELICIOUS!
Costed more than anything else on this trip…
More than I usually pay in Japan!!!

Though, worth it for sure. You should try!

Restaurant is called "Mezza Luna" - the Half Moon.
Great chef and good service for sure.

Showed up to the Thai Embassy this morning.
Yeah, my Tokyo time starts...



Ate Chinese dish for lunch. Yeah, never get tired of Chinese food!!!
Sure, Thai food is good, too.



Along with project members, came to Yasukuni Shirine for prayer.
For what? Of course, this huge project's success.

Really? Really.



Only 100 yen? For Apple's bumper (orange).
Yes, it really was. So I picked up.



Well, I really wanted to buy this green bumper, though.
Meaning, I bought two bumpers at a time.



Great supper fixed by MoonFlower who worked a bit over time today.
It was good food… liked it so much. Thank you darling.

Car ride at 5:30am… it was quite early for me to get to the airport.
My flight for Narita Tokyo was at 8am. That's what is so early. Hahaha.

Flight was flat and normal except delay for 30 mins or so.
Good thing happened to me… I could occupy the whole row since two passengers were re-assigned to somewhere else soon after boarding.

I sat in the mid-seat and used both empty seats for my space. Cool!

Because of lack of sleep last night (too much wine drank, though), I fell to a sleep in the flight.
I didn't even enjoy in-flight movie much!

"Money Ball" was previously watched.
"Real Steel" doesn't seem to be so interesting…

I started seeing "I don't know how she does it."
Was it really good movie?
Didn't interest me enough and I fell to a sleep. I don't even remember of the story at all.
Hahaha.

Back in Japan…
MoonFlower and I got together outside for dinner.
She worked late and I didn't want her to spend extra energy fixing supper for two. It was surely Friday night!

So we went to a place nearby for grabbing some easy but Japanese food.







I didn't even finish the half of glass over the meal. No alcohol in the flight and I didn't drink much at night, either. You know this kind of thing happens, right?

Am finally HOME!

Will flight back to Bangkok on 13th. Yes, limited time in Japan…

Had long and interesting meeting with client today.
Got stop by an even more interesting place after work.

"Ramen Champions" is the name of the place.
Wow, totally Japanese!



This is the place where you can try 6 different ramen noodle… which are famous in Japan!













So we have selected this place… KEISUKE.



Ramen with salt soup.



Very yum… just like one in Japan! I cannot tell even the difference.

After work, I had some appointment.
Went to bar "Marshmallow" on the 11th street (soi 11) in Sukhumvit area.

You know, I had a ride with taxi… No more fears!



Very cool interior… unlike Thai. Hahaha.



Started with beer while waiting for friend to arrive.



Do not fall to a sleep! Hehehe.





I cannot resist… too much!



even oyster...







with T-bird … it is Vichan (in the rear).
It was all his coordination! Thank you so much!!!

Always wonderful to have friends everywhere!!!

It was a nice little party with friends…. Siro-san and Vichan-san and me.
Lots of talk… they are priceless and endless.

I should look for more T-birds in town!!! Nice to have such reunion.

Today and tomorrow, am taking the mandatory training session for Fire Prevention Management.
Since I am selected by the Mansion Management of the residence I belong to.
I have to take an easy exam after 2-day training session to be certified.

It was like military training. Very punctual per time schedule.
No cellphone. No chat. Not allowed to do anything else.
One supervisor sitting in the back observed 200+ trainees in a large class room.

Was both of case study and physical exercise like how to use fire extinguisher or fire hose.
I really came to new knowledge for sure. Hahaha.
It was boring yet, though. You know… Of course cannot doze off…

Everyone else really took (serious) notes from the class, except myself. Oh boy!
I am SO behind. Am I going to be okay after tomorrow? Can I pass the exam? Really?
Will see how that happens tomorrow.

I am more concerned about how cold it would get tomorrow… since forecast really tells that it would be severe cold tomorrow morning…

MoonFlower and I met for dinner in town.
Our choice was that we ought to go to new place where we have never been to.

It was Indian / Nepali Restaurant called "Sansar."



Indian beer - Kingfisher.



Both we selected were lager...



MoonFlower's pick - Nepali Mustang.



Great stuff… made me really full wit that large dish.



Of course, important part of the meal… naan. It was AWESOME!
When came to our table… was extremely hot and it was so perfect…

MoonFlower and I didn't know that good restaurant can be really found nearby. Hahaha.

Wish me luck for tomorrow session!
