Today is a very very beautiful day in Tokyo. Pagi jam 10 aku dan madam meeting sama Chamber of Commerce. Udahan meeting, aku bergegas menuju Chiba University untuk ketemuan sama Mbak Ninuk dan Mbak Dwi sambil silaturahim dan bagi-bagi oleh-oleh. hehe.. Ooww, kembali ke kampus Chibadai selalu bikin sedih, inget jaman-jaman muda dulu ngampus dan maen bareng-bareng ryuugakusei. :( Aku dan para senpai ketemuan di shokudoo, and it was soo great to see them here. Kebiasaan udah mulai fuyu, nafsu makanku juga naik, dan alhasil lunchku banyak dan habis. hehe.. (untung aja gak kalap ngambil dessert banyak). Kebetulan mbak Dwi juga nitip cereal dari Indonesia, sekalian aku bawakan juga bumbu-bumbu masakan Indonesia ( ada bumbu terasi juga..hehe..). Aaaah, senangnya bisa ketemu juga Pak Ilham yang lagi preparation buat sidang. Menyenangkan sekali bisa makan siang bareng teman-teman Indonesia..

Oh well, unfortunately masih ada satu schedule lagi hari ini, yaitu ketemuan sama Miki chan di Tokyo Eki. Dia bela-belain pulang jam 3 sore buat acara kita hari ini, coz tomorrow night I'll be flying back to Jakarta. :( Miki chan ternyata udah nyampe duluan dan kita langsung norikae ke Shinjuku deh sesuai rencana. Shinjuku emang dari dulu ribet banget mau keluar eki, it's too big. :( Tapi yaaah gak papalah sambil keliling. Well, Miki chan ngajak ke MUJI Shinjuku, dan memang banyak sekali barang-barang yang belum dijual di MUJI Indonesia. They have pasta sauce, pasta, blush-on, and many many cute stationeries. So I bought a blush-on and forgot the brush. (>_<). Yasudlah, tidak apa-apa. hehehehe..(palupi). Then udah jam 4 sore dan udah gelap, entah kenapa kalau udah mulai gelap walaupun masih sore, itu akan bikin perutku agak lapar. Then Miki chan took me to one hot place in the town, Comme Sa Cafe. Cafe ini memang miliknya Comme Sa, merk baju yang dari dulu aku suka. What I like about Japan is its cakes. Gilaaaa, enak banget fruit cakenya. Pantesan aja harganya segitu, tapi emang worth it banget. Miki chan traktir oyatsu ini dan kasih satu kenang-kenangan. Ooow, I don't know when we'll meet again shortly, but it was nice to have cakes and lemon tea with a very good friend.

Naaah, lanjut lagi, Miki chan ngajak ke Shinjuku Southern Terrace untuk ngeliat illumination Southern Lights. It was soo pretty, tamannya full of lights, dan ada Kizuno no Tree. Kizuna no Tree itu adalah tower berbentuk segitiga gitu, dan kalau 2 orang masuk ke sana sambil pegangan tangan, dan tangan satunya pegang ke switch, nanti segitiganya mengeluarkan warna merah/biru/kuning/hijau/pink/rainbow. Masing-masing warna punya arti sendiri-sendiri, and when i tried it with Miki chan, the color became blue, and it means Trust.:) Lots of couples were in queue to try that bond tree.. :)

Haaaah, setelah sibuk takjub dengan bond tree dan membuat kami lapar, langsung deh kami masuk ke Takashimaya, makan sushi. Sushi is one of the most delicious food I've ever tasted. :) Dapet dessert gratis, sushinya banyak pula.. haaah..kenyang Alhamdulillah..

But then, so hard to say but it was time for us to say goodbye. Setelah makan malam, aku dan Miki chan harus saying goodbye di stasiun Shinjuku. I hate it I hate it..:( But hey, we can meet up again soon! Kyou ha iroiro arigatoo. I'll be waiting for you in Jakarta!!

Tapiii...sebelum aku balik ke hotel, aku lanjut jalan ke Ropppongi Hills. hehehe.. End of year di Jepang selalu menyenangkan, banyak illumination keren di sepanjang jalan. So I took lots of pictures here dan gila cantik banget emang. Jalan-jalan di sekitar TV Asahi, minum kopi, then I took the train to bring me home. Sedih tinggal 1 hari lagi...
