Taking young consultant to the dinner

Happened to be vivid fashion for the day… happened to be?
I just picked up this necktie today.
How did it suit on me? How's coordination?



Blue suit is from Paul Smith.
Necktie is a Pucci.
Not bad, huh? This "cool" look should be for summer? What is your opinion?



Had to take one of colleagues to the dinner tonight.
He was part of the project team until today.
Now he departs to a new one.

He has learned quite bit during the project.
Some done well and some other not so well done.
Hope he takes this lesson learned to contribute more effectively.

It was fun talking to youngster like him and I learned his way of thinking.
I wish that I should have had this change much earlier…
Things can be different to him and he could learn even more.

We went to very smoky place since eating "Yakiton" showned in the picture above.
MoonFlower complained that my suits and other clothes stink… oh boy!

Trying New Style for Business

Seeking New Fashion?!



Hadn't worn this tie for long time until today.
It is Versace tie.
More than several colleagues loved this and I was quite flattered.

Maybe I should put this on more often.



Hublot watch is of my choice for the day.



New bag? Not really.
This is weekend-use and today I use this for work as first time.
Not bad… totally different, though. I will see how other people may like this or not.

So far, it seems okay…
What do you think?

Cleaning and Selling

Busy going errands for the day?
Got haircut done first.
Stylist guy cut my hair quite short… even though it is not that warm yet. Oh boy!



He always asks me if he can cut very short since his recommendation is that I should have short hair which he believes suits myself.
Well, I do not mind either way. Short or mildly short. Hahaha.
Entirely up to him. Thus, I let him do as he likes.

Yep, quite short.

Went on to Tiffany's for not shopping but maintenance.



I wanted to get my money clip take shine back. It did!
Free of charge as Tiffany's service for indefinite.
Pretty cool.

Since I am using thin wallet, this money clip is not in use at all. Maybe near future? Will see.

Went on to Shinjuku Area for selling my precious fountain pen collection.
Well, I sold one today.
It was Pelikan M400 with gold plate.

Came out with estimate which was more than expected. Not bad… I can even buy brand new G-shock watch with them.
Not bad…
All money from this fountain pen is going to be saved up for next watch. Maybe.

Cleaning Tiffany's and Selling Pelikan were something I wanted to get done for long time.
Finally, they are DONE. Thank God.
Now, March is coming to an end… April is up.

Japanese sweets called "Daifuku"

Slow week is still going on.
Though, I did work hard… a little bit. At least I should close some businesses from last year.
Hahaha.

Plus, I had to give up my precious time for intereviewing new grad… three of them in this afternoon.
None of them, unfortunately, did impress me much.
Last one was more eager than the others… she seemed to be more goal-oriented.

Had some trouble on my PC and I got stuck with IT team who spent quite time on my computer late afternoon.
That made my leave from the office quite late… much later than usual! Hahaha
Part of the job, isn't it? I presume so.



I picked up some sweets on the way back home.
Yeah, I do all possible thing to keep the domestic peace as much!!!
Sugar certainly does help. Don't you agree?

Here they are.
Famous "Ichigo Daifuku."
Ichigo is strwaberry and Daifuku is Japanese sweets beans and mochi / rice cake.



I bought these at Hakata Suzukake - famous sweets shop from far southern Fukuoka.
Let me compare those with ones from Ginza Akebono - another famous sweets shop from Tokyo.



Different appearance and the size is different, too.
Suzukake one is a bit smaller. Thinner rick cake part on the surface.
Akebono one is tick and sticky surface…

They are in the same category… but definitely different sweets products!!!

Well, tough to judge which one is BETTER. They are respectively good and I like them BOTH.

Probably, Akebono one is tougher to get because there are long line of customers as always.
Today at Suzukake, there are a few customers before myself. Not bad… very convenient.
That is the only difference. Maybe that part is even the same over weekend… I do not know.



Promotion announcement came to myself in mail from Mercedes-Benz dealership.
Oh boy, face-lift C-Class is around, already.
Maybe MB is my very next one?

When in the world do we decide which car and when to buy one for ourselves?
That is a big question never answered so far.
Any suggestion? Hahaha.

Family Dinner for New Year

Business is good and another project task is now completed.
Project A from last year is coming to an end… one step closer.
Good deal.



My fashion today. My gloves are too vivid? How does my coordination look?
Yep, I am still color-blind.

After work, MoonFlower and I got together in Shimbashi for dinner.
Yes, our new-year family dinner tonight.
No fish… definitely beef for that.



Starting with sparkling wine… and huge salad followed.



Ended up ordering a whole bottle for steak… which was 500g or 17.6oz!



Not even enough and pasta plate came after. Big dinner it was.

Good foods… made us to have good feeling… no more.
Maybe we should come back to this place more often. I love this food.
