You know what this means ✈️ Yep. Travel day. Leaving my beloved city of Tokyo to Surabaya, surprising my father, who had no idea that after I had left him last week for Tokyo, I’d be back again for 10 days with him. It’s life worth living in this #lifewelltravelled @cathaypacific #rmkwinter20172018 #rmksub201803 (at 香港國際機場 Hongkong I'tl Airport Terminal)

Time for some unagi at @fukinuki.akasaka in Shinjuku. And as proud parents of dachshunds, we’re sporting this fun shirt from @graniph_official @designtshirtsstoregraniph #rmkwinter20172018 #rmktokyo201803 #fukinuki (at 赤坂ふきぬき鳗鱼饭)

Great reunion with chef @hideki.endo_ whom we hadn’t seen since Paris two years ago, during tonight’s collaboration dinner with Papa-san @therealnobu for the 11th Anniversary of @tokyonobu And of course dinner wouldn’t be complete without catching up with little sister @junko.matsuhisa #rmkwinter20172018 #rmktokyo201803 #nobutokyo #collaborationdinner (at Nobu Tokyo)

Indonesians are crazy when it comes to eating, and these friends of mine aren’t the exception. So here we were, posing at a restaurant before we ate lunch, but only after having the first lunch (wait for it...) next door! What?!?!? At the first restaurant, not knowing we’d have a second one right after it, I had two glasses of drinks and a bowlful of soupy Soto. And the second restaurant specialized in beef ball soup. I felt like an overflowing keg... And they remain slender while my body became an uncontrollable sprawling suburbs. #rmkwinter20172018 #rmksub201803 #hemoglobin #hemoglobinsub (at Soto Ayam Pakelan Ny.sien Cab.surabaya)

So much fun to be with Kim, MJ, Susan, and Faith outside of the flight for a change. Early morning xiao loong bao at Crystal Jade HKG. #rmkwinter20172018 #rmksub201803 #travel (at 香港國際機場 Hongkong I'tl Airport Terminal)

Crazy gal pals of mine surprised not only David @dbucky but also me with this early birthday cake! His birthday isn’t until the 10th of this month, but we will have left Indonesia by then. The staff wasn’t sure whether it’s age 57 or 75 for the candles, hahaha! Thank you HeMoGloBin @helenwaworuntu Gloria @limswatling and also @erni_halim and Wiranto for this unexpected cake! #surprise #birthday #rmksub201801 #rmkwinter20172018 #desoematra (at de Soematra Function House)

Dinner with friends at home. Haha, don’t we wish. This is the same cozy Dutch-Colonial-style function house @desoematra1910 The originally private home was restored and revamped by my cousin @hidajatw and his firm, the Endramukti Design. Our guests tonight are from my HeMoGloBin group, crazy gal pals of mine: @helenwaworuntu Gloria and @limswatling joined by Dad, Linda’s husband and Linda’s sister @erni_halim #rmksub201801 #rmkwinter20172018 #desoematra #dinner
