Cafe & Dining SCENE

On Saturday, my darling and I had 1,000 yen (10 bucks) lunch at Cafe & Dining SCENE in Akasaka. They serve menu of the week: meat, fish bowl, pasta, and healthy plate. My darling had pasta and I had healthy plate :D The lunch menu comes with salad, appetizer, main course, and all-you-can-drink bar. The cafe was very stylish and cozy. I think we stayed there for more than 3 hours!!!

BTW, Golden Week holidays start from April 29th to May 5th! I know I gonna be busy anyway, but I can't wait!!!

Too much rain this month! It is going to rain again this afternoon...

Take care :D

Sun Wave Showroom

On Saturday, we had a meeting with remodeling contractor. Actually, we are also thinking of purchasing fully renovated used condo.

The meeting was pretty interesting since we realized we can do anything to the room layout, including kitchen!

Thus, in the afternoon, we went to see my new kitchen at Sun Wave's showroom. Sun Wave deals in system kitchens and vanity units made in Japan. The kitchen called amiy was even nicer than in the photo or web! You can add functional drawers (dish washer, oven, etc...) like a puzzle :D

At the showroom, an advisor will help you build up your kitchen that fits your floor plan. Then later, you'll get a quote with 3D image that shows how it fits into your place! How interesting!!!

I thought getting an used condo is not a bad choice, if you can renovate as you wish :D

Anyway, this weekend was so busy that I was overstressed and under-satisfied about everything... I just couldn't stop complaining about trifles and I had a big fight with my darling last night...

I have to rest at some point X(

Take care!!!
